About
Saadiyat Reserve is Aldar's plotted district on Saadiyat Island where buyers build their own villa: land plots from about 6,586 to 10,979 sq ft, with the district's roads, schools, courts and beach access already in place.
Plots are listed from AED 1,800,000; the price per sq ft shown is for land, not a built home. The district is registered in Abu Dhabi as 2019/422350 and the register records its infrastructure as complete. The Dunes, the built villas in the same district, has its own page.
Completed projects are sold by their developer only while stock remains; confirm availability and any resale terms with the developer or a licensed agent before committing.

“Abu Dhabi's largest listed developer and the master developer of Saadiyat, Yas and Fahid Island. Aldar reported 141 active construction sites running to plan in 2026 and handed over 1,075 homes in the first quarter alone, against a target of 3,500 for the year.”

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.

Saadiyat Reserve: questions buyers ask
- How much does Saadiyat Reserve cost?
- Prices at Saadiyat Reserve start from AED 1,800,000 (about $490K) for studios homes, which is around AED 273 per sqft, estimated from the unit sizes. Asking prices come from the developer and change without notice.
- When does Saadiyat Reserve hand over?
- Saadiyat Reserve is built and handed over, so a home bought here is ready to occupy rather than off-plan.
- Who is the developer of Saadiyat Reserve?
- Saadiyat Reserve is being developed by Aldar Properties. It sits in Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi. You can see every project by Aldar Properties we list, and how their asking prices compare with registered sales, on their page.
- Can foreigners buy at Saadiyat Reserve?
- Saadiyat Reserve is in a freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own a home here outright rather than on a lease. Abu Dhabi sets which zones are freehold; confirm the title type on your own unit's contract before paying.
- Is Saadiyat Reserve registered and escrow-protected?
- Saadiyat Reserve is registered with the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC) under number 2019/422350. Every off-plan project must be registered and sell through an escrow account, where the money is released as building progresses. Check both at dari.ae before you pay.
