What buyers paid in Saadiyat Island
Apartments: a median of AED 3,703 per sqft from 603 sales, counting developer sales, last 6 months; half of those sales fell between AED 2,566 and AED 4,077 per sqft; the first month on record here.
Villas and townhouses: a median of AED 1,686 per sqft from 35 sales, counting developer sales, last 6 months; half of those sales fell between AED 1,520 and AED 4,437 per sqft; the first month on record here.
These are prices paid, not prices asked: sales registered as bought from the developer, as recorded by the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC), for Saadiyat Island as a whole.

Asking prices against the register
Asking prices for the 1 off-plan project we list here run at AED 3,862 per sqft, some of them our own estimates from the starting price and the smallest home, marked as such.
None of them has a developer-stated price per sqft yet, so no gap is shown: comparing our own estimate with registered sales would invent one. The comparison appears the moment a developer states a figure.

How this is measured
Registered sales come from ADREC / DARI and are read again each month; this page is as of September 2026. The median is the middle sale, which a handful of very large or very small homes cannot pull the way an average can.
The figure shown counts sales registered as bought from the developer over the last six months when there are at least 30 of them, otherwise the last twelve, otherwise every sale over twelve months; below 30 sales there is no figure at all. Apartments and villas are kept apart because they do not sell at the same price per sqft.
We list a selected set of off-plan projects in Saadiyat Cultural District, not every project there. Asking prices and handover dates are the developers' own and change without notice; a price per sqft we estimated is labelled as an estimate and is never compared with registered sales. Nothing on this page is investment advice.
