ABU DHABI, UAE: Aldar Properties has launched today its first residential community in the heart of Saadiyat Island – Saadiyat Reserve. The AED 722 million community features 306 infrastructure enabled land plots open to buyers of all nationalities.

This is the first land plot development to be launched on Saadiyat Island since the introduction of new laws enabling foreign buyers to own freehold land in investment zones in Abu Dhabi in April 2019.

The launch of Saadiyat Reserve follows the overwhelming success of Aldar’s three land plot sale launches – Alreeman, Alreeman II and Lea – which collectively generated solid sales of AED 2.4 billion, reflecting a growing demand for well-priced, infrastructure-enabled land plots in Abu Dhabi.

Commenting on the launch, Talal Al Dhiyebi, Chief Executive Officer, Aldar, said: “One of the most soughtafter destinations in Abu Dhabi, Saadiyat Island, is rapidly becoming an address of choice for home buyers who are looking to benefit from the prestigious lifestyle it offers. With the launch of Saadiyat Reserve, we wanted to cater to this demand and the increasing interest in land plot sales in Abu Dhabi.

We believe that this project offers an exciting opportunity for potential buyers who are looking to own freehold land and design bespoke homes minutes away from some of the capital’s most inspiring cultural and educational landmarks. Saadiyat Reserve strongly complements our existing portfolio of high-quality assets on the Island, such as Mamsha and Jawaher, and will benefit from the wide-scale infrastructure work we were recently awarded by the Abu Dhabi Government.”

Saadiyat Reserve is located opposite the New York University Campus and is close to several landmarks including Louvre Abu Dhabi, Cranleigh and Saadiyat Beach Resorts as well as other leisure and retail destinations. Saadiyat Reserve’s masterplan gives every property easy access to open space, parks and other amenities, which will create a strong sense of community and enhance the living experience for residents.

In July 2019, the Abu Dhabi Government partnered with Aldar to deliver social, economic and infrastructure projects worth AED 5 billion across a number of key destinations in the Emirate. Among those, Aldar was appointed to complete the remaining infrastructure and public realm works on Saadiyat Island worth AED 2 billion. The project will facilitate further integration of Saadiyat Island into the broader Abu Dhabi metropolitan area with the construction of roads and utilities. This will ensure Saadiyat Island is equipped with the best infrastructure attracting further investments to one of the most sought-after destinations in Abu Dhabi.
