The most reliable and respected real estate developer of the UAE capital, Aldar Properties; recognized for its diligent approach to project development, has launched its new residential complex called MANARAT LIVING. Construction for the project will start in the third quarter of 2023, and like all of Aldar's developments, this complex will be more than just a residential property — it will be a real home with a unique atmosphere that makes you desire to live in it.
The most favourable location was chosen for the MANARAT LIVING project, as it will be constructed in the heart of Saadiyat Island, which is actively developing and is expected to become a cultural cluster of Abu Dhabi with a high concentration of numerous art and historical facilities. Even now the area is attracting tourists and locals, not only for its famous Louvre Abu Dhabi, but also because of its fabulous beaches and coastal infrastructure. Future owners of MANARAT LIVING residences will experience the harmony of resort life near the seaside in combination with the vibrant community surroundings.
The property will consist of 273 units, including 76 spacious studios, 123 1-bedroom apartments and 52 2-bedroom apartments. There are also 22 units of 2-bedroom apartments complemented by an extra bedroom for a maid. The average floor plan area of studios is 352 sq. ft, whilst the average area of 1-2 bedroom apartments ranges from 732 sq. ft to 1,433 sq. ft. One parking space will be allocated to each property type, and the building will feature bicycle racks as well.
Starting price from AED 635,000
Residents will have exclusive access to the services and facilities of the complex, including recreational spaces and multi-purpose rooms, as well as two swimming pools on the roof, one deep and one shallow for children. The MANARAT LIVING offers all the necessary amenities for little residents, as well as those committed to a healthy lifestyle:
Kids room
Outdoor playground
Spacious gym with locker rooms
Yoga space
Vertical running track
Property owners of MANARAT LIVING will not have to worry about the interior arrangement, since the developers have already selected all the advanced high-quality materials and finishes. The only thing that is needed is to choose from two interior design specifications — in either a light or dark colour palette.
The developer has also ensured that the project complies with the standards of sustainable construction. By selecting recycled building materials and introducing measures for efficient energy and water consumption, this residential complex will receive 2 Pearls according to the Estidama Building Rating System.
