ADREC / DARIAED 2,778/sqft (est.)
The ADREC median for apartments in Al Reem Island is AED 1,806/sqft (as of 21 Sep 2026). This project's figure is our estimate from the starting price and the smallest unit, so it is not compared: the gap appears once the register shows this project's own sales or the developer states a price per sqft.

Where the figures come from, and what escrow means
Riviera Residences is registered with the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC) under project number 2025-11. 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. How to read the ADREC register.
