Leonardo Residences

Leonardo Residences sits on the landscaped central boulevard in the heart of Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, close to the headquarters of the International Renewable Energy Agency and the Masdar Institute, with direct access to the green belt park. Reportage publishes drive times of twelve minutes to Ferrari World, seventeen minutes to Yas Island and twenty minutes to Al Raha Beach.

Leonardo Residences was built by Reportage Properties, an Abu Dhabi headquartered developer established in 2014. Reportage calls Leonardo its very first project. The company now reports 116 projects worldwide and more than 48,100 units, and its Masdar City portfolio also includes Oasis 1 Residences, Oasis Two, The Gate, Plaza, Plaza 2 and Royal Park.

The building rises six storeys and holds 175 apartments. The mix covers studio, one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom homes in a range of areas and sizes, so single occupiers and families are housed at the same address. Each apartment has its own private terrace or balcony.

Leonardo Residences offers studio, one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom apartments in various areas and sizes. Kitchens are fitted with cabinets and scratch free countertops together with a refrigerator, washing machine and cooker. Bedrooms have built in wardrobes, and bathrooms are fully tiled and fitted with a bathtub or a shower. The developer does not publish areas by type.

Shared facilities listed by the developer include a swimming pool, a gym and fitness room, a children's playground, store rooms, fire safety systems and marble flooring. Homes look out over the park and green spaces of the district, and residents have direct access to the green belt, a large landscaped park with recreational and cultural facilities.

No. Leonardo Residences is a completed building, so it is bought and sold on the resale market rather than off plan. The finished home and its outlook can be checked in person, and there is no construction programme left to wait out. Reportage no longer lists it among its available projects.

Masdar City is a sustainable urban community and business free zone in Abu Dhabi, where buildings use 40% less energy and water than comparable buildings. Reportage describes it as a low carbon development around a growing clean technology cluster, with residences, retail and dining, and office space that overlooks green space.

Studio and one bedroom apartments suit professionals working in Masdar City, at Abu Dhabi International Airport or along the Khalifa City corridor. Two and three bedroom homes give a smaller family more room in a central location. For an investor it is a delivered asset inside a business free zone built around a clean technology cluster.
