Why buyers look at Al Maryah Island

Al Maryah Island is where Abu Dhabi keeps its international financial centre, ADGM, beside The Galleria, two five star hotels and Cleveland Clinic. Homes are few: ADREC counts 1,153 apartments on the island against 27,086 on Al Reem next door. Most buyers here want a tower apartment a short walk from the office, and they buy it under ADGM's own property rules.

ADGM's home

ADGM Square holds 200,000 sq m of Grade A offices.

The Galleria

Over 400 stores and about 100 places to eat.

Cleveland Clinic

A multi specialty hospital on the island.

Waterside promenade

5.4 km of promenade, Highline Park and South Plaza.

Three towers make up almost everything a buyer can reach. Reportage's Al Maryah Vista is complete, Al Maryah Vista 2 is being built beside it, and Jumeirah Residences Al Maryah Island is a branded tower due to open in 2031.

Buying under ADGM, not DARI

The case for buying on Al Maryah

  1. 1,153

    Very few homes

    ADREC counts 1,153 apartments on the island, so supply stays tight.

  2. 758

    A small pipeline

    ADREC projects 758 new apartments here between 2026 and 2030.

  3. 75%

    Where ready homes trade

    Three quarters of ready apartment sales happen on the two ADGM islands, Al Raha and Saadiyat, by ADREC's count.

  4. 0%

    No transfer fee for buyers

    Under ADGM's 2024 rules the 2% transfer fee is paid by the seller.

Things to weigh

  • Few homes come up for sale, so the right apartment can take time to find.
  • The island average price includes hotel and branded residences.
  • Mubadala gives buyers outside the UAE and GCC a 99 year leasehold on land, renewable once.
  • Jumeirah Residences opens in 2031 and its prices are not yet published.

Buying on Al Maryah, step by step

  1. Set the budget

    Work out the Down Payment and the day one cash with the ADGM calculator above.

  2. Choose the tower

    A finished tower gives keys at transfer; Vista 2 and Jumeirah Residences follow their build.

  3. Reserve the home

    Off-plan: the developer's booking payment. Resale: a signed MOU with a deposit.

  4. Arrange the finance

    A bank pre-approval first; ADGM registers the mortgage for 0.1% of the loan.

  5. Register with ADGM

    The transfer is registered by ADGM's Registration Authority; the seller pays the 2% fee.

  6. Keys or handover

    Resale ends at transfer; off-plan when the tower is complete.

What you need

  • Passport
  • Emirates ID, for UAE residents
  • Proof of funds or a bank pre-approval
