Offering customers of all nationalities a unique opportunity to live and invest in one of Aldar’s most sought-after destinations, the development will feature 273 homes located within a stone’s throw of the cultural hotspot Manarat Al Saadiyat.

The community is also within walking distance of many attractions, including one of the UAE’s best beaches, the thriving restaurant and social scene at Mamsha Al Saadiyat and Soul Beach, five exceptional museums, the Abrahamic Family House, and one of Abu Dhabi’s premier schools – Cranleigh.

Aldar launches new development

Manarat Living is the first development to launch under Aldar’s new boutique living concept that aims to develop properties in prime areas of Abu Dhabi at a more accessible price point.

Aldar says the development will have a bold, urban design aesthetic with modern lobby areas to complement Manarat Living’s community-focused amenities.

Residents at Manarat Living will enjoy an art studio, yoga breakout areas, and a zen garden, as well as bespoke design elements and colour palettes in their apartments.

The units are available in studio, one-, and two-bedroom layouts, as well as two-bedroom apartments with maid’s rooms.

All units will have a distinctive design and modern finishes, with buyers having a choice of two colour schemes for their homes.

Prices for studios start from AED634,000 ($173,000), one-beds from AED1.28m ($349,000), two-beds from AED1.95m ($531,000) and two-beds plus maid’s room from AED2.45m ($678,000).

Apartments go on sale on Thursday, February 9.

Rashed Al Omaira, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldar Development, said: “With our finger on the pulse of Abu Dhabi’s thriving property market, our research has shown growing demand for high-quality, aspirational living spaces at more accessible price points, while still being located in highly desirable destinations across the emirate.

“With Manarat Living being designed to plug into Abu Dhabi’s culturally rich neighbourhood in a seamless and intuitive way, the first project under this urban collection will bring a new customer segment to the island.

“This is only the start of this new concept and we look forward to unveiling further developments within the collection soon.”

The development has been carefully designed to deliver a more aspirational experience.

Residents will benefit from a wide range of high-quality amenities, including multipurpose rooms, co-working spaces, a rooftop pool, gym, a vertical running track, and more.

Residents will also be close to Saadiyat Grove, luxury beach resorts, world famous museums, and top education institutions, such as Berklee School of Music, and Cranleigh school.

The development’s location in Abu Dhabi’s Cultural District on Saadiyat Island makes it an attractive proposition for first-time homeowners, as well as expatriate and international investors.

It is also a short distance from Abu Dhabi’s major infrastructure projects and lifestyle destinations, including Yas Island, Abu Dhabi City, Al Jubail Island, and Al Reem Island.

Construction of Manarat Living is due to begin in Q3 2023, with handovers expected to commence in Q1 2026.

As part of Aldar’s commitment to sustainability, Manarat Living will feature a range of sustainable design and building measures, including the use of efficient water fixtures, green building technologies, and sustainable construction materials.

The development has been designed to achieve a two-pearl rating, as per the Estidama sustainability rating system.
