Saadiyat Lagoons - final phase by Aldar Properties

About the project 

Saadiyat Lagoons is a residential project being developed by Aldar Properties, which is located on one of the most sought-after and picturesque locations of Saadiyat Island. The final phase of the community will consist of 206 private villas with 4–6 bedrooms, each with additional maid’s rooms. The residences will be presented in two types of design: a minimalistic design (cluster 5A) with properties ranging in size from 4,960 sq. ft to 6,420 sq. ft, and pitched roof villas (cluster 2B), varying in size from 5,020 sq. ft to 6,350 sq. ft.

The design of the individual villas are inspired by the island's landscapes, with its mangroves, extended beaches and calm blue waters. Embraced by 9,687,500 sq. ft of natural beauty, the area will be surrounded by greenery, making nature and all it has to offer, a great companion for future residents. More natural design influences will fill the villas both within the interiors and the exteriors, as the Aldar Properties developer follows sustainable development and construction, using home-grown recycled materials, along with environmentally friendly and non-toxic building paints and products. The properties are equipped with water and energy consumption saving measures, solar water heaters and reflective solar roof panels — which will all be used to ensure a sense of harmony along with the natural surroundings.

A distinctive feature of Saadiyat Lagoons will be the possibility to select between standard or premium finishes packages, available in warm and cool colour combinations, in order to customize the living space in accordance with the future owners' preferences. Furthermore, the plots will house a garden and provisions for a swimming pool and an optional private pod. This multi-purpose space can be converted into a guest house, a gym, a majlis or a private office.

Key advantages

Once the neighbourhood is completed, the project will meet any taste and any demand with its services and amenities. With a wide selection of facilities provided, the residents of the community will enjoy an atmosphere of luxury living right on their doorstep. For instance, there will be plenty of sports courts for fitness enthusiasts, including:

• Volleyball and basketball grounds
• Paddle tennis court
• Artificial climbing wall
• Outdoor fitness equipment
• Running and cycling tracks
• Skate park with trampolines.

Families with children will appreciate the variety of kid’s play areas, the availability of daycare centres and schools, as well as a medical clinic within the community. The whole territory of the community will be carefully planned, filled with art installations, recreation areas, a promenade with cafes and retail stores, plenty of spaces for events, picnics and BBQ areas, and even an outdoor cinema. A walk through the parks and the eco-trail among the mangroves promises residents to be able to experience tranquility and solitude with nature.

Infrastructure

Besides numerous amenities that will be available within the complex, property owners of Saadiyat Lagoons will benefit from the sophisticated infrastructure of Saadiyat Island offering a long list of recreational activities for everybody. 

Residents can also visit the community of Mamsha Al Saadiyat, which includes promenades and waterfront sidewalks enriched with shopping and dining venues. Sports activities can be found at Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, which is located just a short distance away from the development.

The country's most renowned educational institutions are also located here, including Cranleigh Abu Dhabi and Theodore Monod International French School, along with New York University Abu Dhabi, which are all within 10 minutes’ by car from Saadiyat Lagoons. Among the nearest nurseries are Redwood Montessori Nursery — Saadiyat Island — Abu Dhabi and Yellow Submarine Nursery — Saadiyat Island — Abu Dhabi.

Tamara Polyclinics LLC and HealthPlus Family Clinic — Saadiyat Island are there to serve the health care needs of residents. These medical facilities can both be reached in just 10 minutes’ by car.

Saadiyat Lagoons is located on Saadiyat Island, which is recognized as the cultural centre of the UAE capital, with a high concentration of modern museums and art galleries, such as Louvre Abu Dhabi, Manarat Al Saadiyat, Zayed National Museum and the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Museum, which will be constructed in the near future. This cultural cluster can be reached by car in just 15 minutes’ from the community.

The island also attracts tourists and locals because of its gorgeous white sandy beaches, offering outstanding services and facilities. For example, both Saadiyat Beach and Soul Beach enables residents to spend a relaxing day by the sea, lounging on comfortable sun beds, enjoying water sports and dining at fashionable gourmet restaurants.

The close proximity of Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan highway connects the neighbourhood to other areas of the UAE capital, including Abu Dhabi International Airport, which is a 35 minute drive away from the complex. The mainland of Abu Dhabi and the nearby Al Reem Island are both located a maximum of 25 minutes’ away by car. Residents can find even more social infrastructure facilities here, as well as many entertainment and shopping destinations.

Economic attractiveness

The excellent location of Saadiyat Lagoons will ensure a high interest in real estate within the complex. The popularity of Saadiyat Island is increased by its iconic cultural venues and convenient transport links to other business and leisure areas of Abu Dhabi. 

The greatest demand in this region is normally for luxury private residences and villas that are suitable for permanent living or for vacation rentals. As of Q1 2023, the average rental price of a four-bedroom villa on Saadiyat Island is AED 400K (USD 109K) per year. The increased volume of potential buyers interested in the Abu Dhabi real estate market will make the purchase of properties in Saadiyat Lagoons a great investment.
