Rated for Saadiyat Cultural District; applies to every project there.
“The museum quarter of Saadiyat, anchored by the Louvre Abu Dhabi, with the Zayed National Museum and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi completing the district. Connections and setting are excellent, but several institutions and much of the surrounding public realm are still being built, so everyday shops and services are thinner here than on the beach side of the island.”

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.
