Residents of Sun Tower can make the most of the iconic Reem Mall, which is set to open in Q1 2022 and will be just 20 minutes’ away from the complex. This will be the first omnichannel mall in the world, combining conventional shopping with digital solutions, including websites, apps, targeted promotions and customized recommendations.

Investment Appeal

Sun Tower was successfully completed in Q2 2011 so you can move in right away after the finalization of the purchase or lease it if you are acquiring a property for commercial use. It is worth noting that Al Reem Island is one of Abu Dhabi's freehold areas, meaning that real estate buyers of all nationalities are allowed to benefit from 100% property ownership. Therefore you are free to rent, lease, resell or mortgage a Sun Tower apartment at any time after the purchase.

According to Bayut, 1-bedroom apartments in this development generate an ROI of about 7%, which makes it a lucrative real estate investment option in 2022. That being said, the annual rental price for a 1-bedroom residence with an area of 900 sq. ft starts from AED 58,000 (USD 15,800).

Aside from the above-mentioned amenities, Sun Tower is anchored by a well-appointed retail center; SHAMS Boutik, which comprises the ground and the first-floor podiums of the residential complex. The podiums feature banking facilities, a Waitrose supermarket, hair and beauty salons, a bakery, F&B venues, specialty shops and a pharmacy, catering to every need of residents in the development. Sun Tower is also quite popular among families with small children as it houses Mosaic Nursery, with a range of facilities, including a library, an outdoor play area and classrooms as well.
