What separates them
Six home types on an 18-hole course by Lobb + Partners — 95 hectares with a 2.3 km green spine and a golf academy. Townhouses at AED 4.25M through to a six-bedroom Golf Mansion at AED 35.55M.
The price per square foot does not climb evenly. The five-bedroom Range Villa is the best square-foot value in the community at about AED 1,724. The six-bedroom Fairway Villa jumps to about AED 2,711 — a 57% rise in the rate, not just the total.
Garden villas from AED 4.96M for a three-bedroom with majlis at 2,578 sq ft. Estate villas run four, five and six bedrooms from AED 9.05M to AED 13.40M. The rate per square foot is flat across the range — about AED 1,924 on the garden villas and AED 2,100 on the estate villas.
A 38 million sq ft masterplan, 60% green, with a par-3 executive course. Service charge about AED 4.5 per sq ft. Yas Mall is 13 minutes, the airport 14.
The live beachfront enclave inside a 4.8 million sqm masterplan, built on a sculpted hill so the homes sit 5 to 24 metres above the water and 0 to 6 minutes' walk from the beach. From AED 10.9M for a four-bedroom at 4,826 sq ft; six-bedroom homes run AED 25.25M to AED 44.89M.
Two earlier phases have sold out. That is demand evidence, not available product — Y Views is what you can buy. The plan is 60/40 and handover is Q4 2029.
A AED 100 billion district on Saadiyat Island announced in July 2026 — 6.4 million sqm, 8 km of coastline, a 350-berth marina, a 73,800 sqm central park and a 6,000-seat theatre opening in 2030.
Aldar has not released prices or a payment plan. We will publish both the day they are issued.
What it costs to buy in Abu Dhabi
2% of the sale price to register, paid once, plus admin fees. Those vary by developer and by service, so we quote them on your unit rather than publish a figure that will be wrong for your deal.
You pay no commission on any of these. The developer pays the agent on a launch.
No VAT on the home. No property tax. No capital gains tax. No tax on the rent.

How we work
The developer pays us. You pay us nothing.
The 57% rate step at Hudayriyat. The flat rate across Sobha City. Which BAYN phase is live. We work those out before a page goes up, and we show you the working.
Every project page carries that list.
Tell us what you are solving for
The cash you can put down, the handover you can wait for, the product you actually want. Send us those three and we will tell you which of these fits — and which to ignore. Zero commission either way.
