Rated for Saadiyat Island; applies to every project there.
“Beaches, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, NYU Abu Dhabi and several international schools including Cranleigh, Harrow and the American Community School are open and in daily use. The gaps are real: there is no hospital on the island, the nearest being 15 to 20 minutes away, and much of the cultural district is still under construction.”

An escrow account is a regulated account the developer cannot draw on freely: your payments go in and are released as building progresses. Escrow accounts and project registrations are published by the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC) on dari.ae. Always check them, and pay into the escrow account only, before handing over a deposit.
