As Abu Dhabi’s real estate market moves into a more mature phase, the focus is shifting from volume to quality. Buyers today are prioritising branded living, waterfront locations, and projects with clear long-term demand drivers.

December 2025 highlights three residential developments on Reem Island that stand out for very different reasons - branding, lifestyle positioning, and everyday livability. Each speaks to a specific buyer profile, but all share one thing: strategic location and controlled supply.

Radisson Residences Reem Island

Branded Waterfront Living

Radisson Residences introduces a hotel-backed residential concept to Reem Island, combining waterfront positioning with international hospitality standards. This is one of the most notable branded residential launches on the island, designed for buyers who value service, consistency, and long-term asset protection.

Positioned along the shoreline next to Reem Central Park, the project brings a hospitality-driven lifestyle into a residential format - appealing both to end users and rental-focused investors.

What defines Radisson Residences:

• Branded residential project in partnership with Radisson Hotel Group
   
• Waterfront location with direct access to open spaces and the park
   
• Hotel-style lobby, concierge services, and managed common areas
   
• Podium-level social spaces designed around community interaction

The architecture and interiors follow a modern, clean aesthetic, with many units offering floor-to-ceiling windows and open views. Branded residences historically perform well in resale and rentals due to maintained standards and international recognition - making this project especially relevant for buyers looking for stability rather than speculation.

Pricing & Payment Structure

Radisson Residences positions itself in the mid-to-premium segment of Reem Island, offering branded waterfront living at price points that remain accessible compared to similar hospitality-backed projects in Abu Dhabi.

Current price ranges (December 2025):

• Studios: from AED 800,000 up to AED 1,179,000
   
• 1-bedroom apartments: from AED 1,400,000 to AED 1,960,000
   
• 2-bedroom apartments: from AED 1,899,000 to AED 2,659,000
   
• 3-bedroom apartments: from AED 4,499,000 to AED 4,599,000
   
• 2-bedroom townhouses: from AED 2,583,371 to AED 2,663,982
   

The payment structure is front-loaded towards handover, making it attractive for buyers who prefer lower capital exposure during construction:

• 5% on booking
   
• 35% during construction
   
• 60% on handover (expected Q4 2027)
   

One Reem Island

Private Beachfront Living in the City

One Reem Island sits in a rare category for Abu Dhabi: a residential project that combines urban connectivity with private beach access. Located close to Sorbonne University and Reem Mall, it offers a lifestyle that feels secluded while remaining highly connected.

This development is positioned firmly in the premium segment, with a strong focus on space, comfort, and resort-style amenities.

Key lifestyle elements include:

• Private beach access
   
• Infinity pool, wellness areas, and fitness facilities
   
• Smart-home integration across residences
   
• 24/7 concierge and security

Penthouses within the project offer wide-angle sea and skyline views, reinforcing its appeal to high-net-worth end users. Additionally, eligibility for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa adds another layer of long-term value for international buyers.

One Reem is best suited for buyers who prioritise lifestyle first - with investment performance as a natural secondary benefit driven by scarcity.

Pricing & Payment Structure

One Reem Island sits firmly in the premium segment, targeting end-users and high-net-worth buyers seeking long-term residence rather than short-term speculation.

Current starting prices:

• 1-bedroom apartments: from AED 1.49M
   
• 1-bedroom duplexes: from AED 1.58M
   
• 2-bedroom apartments: from AED 2.20M
   
• 2-bedroom duplexes: from AED 2.87M
   
• 3-bedroom apartments: from AED 3.66M
   
• 3-bedroom duplexes: from AED 3.68M
   
• 4-bedroom duplexes: from AED 5.71M
   

Payment terms:

• 50% during construction
   
• 50% on handover (expected Q2 2028)

Object 1 - Najmat Reem

Modern Community Living with Strong Fundamentals

Object 1 brings a different proposition to Reem Island: a modern, community-oriented residential development focused on functionality, livability, and efficiency. Located in Najmat Reem, it targets professionals, families, and long-term residents who value well-planned spaces over branding.

The project’s design philosophy centres around natural light, practical layouts, and shared spaces that encourage daily interaction.

Why Object 1 stands out:

• First major development by Object 1 in Abu Dhabi
   
• Family and adult pools, fitness club, and jogging paths
   
• Onsite retail, cafés, and co-working lounges
   
• Strong proximity to Reem Mall, schools, and parks.

This is a project built for consistent occupancy. Its positioning makes it especially attractive for long-term rentals, with demand driven by professionals working in central Abu Dhabi.

Pricing & Investment Positioning

Object 1 sits in the mid-market segment of Reem Island, offering a more accessible entry point compared to branded or beachfront developments - while maintaining strong rental fundamentals.

Based on current launch positioning and market benchmarks:

• Entry pricing is expected to remain below premium waterfront projects
   
• Target tenant profile: professionals working in central Abu Dhabi, healthcare staff, educators and long-term residents
   
• Strong appeal for long-term rental strategies rather than short-term holiday stays
   

Why Reem Island Continues to Attract Buyers

Reem Island remains one of Abu Dhabi’s most reliable residential zones. Its appeal lies in balance - close to downtown and ADGM, yet residential in character.

What continues to support demand:

• Central location with direct bridges to the city
   
• Established infrastructure and healthcare facilities
   
• Universities, malls, parks, and waterfront promenades
   
• Limited availability of new waterfront and beachfront plots

As land availability tightens, newer projects are becoming more selective, reinforcing long-term price stability.

In Short

• Radisson Residences Reem Island: Branded waterfront living with hotel-level services
   
• One Reem Island: Private beach access, premium lifestyle, and Golden Visa eligibility
   
• Object 1 Najmat Reem: Functional, community-driven living with strong rental fundamentals

Each project serves a different strategy - from lifestyle-first ownership to long-term income - but all are positioned within one of Abu Dhabi’s most resilient residential districts.
