Who it suits
Buyers who want a waterfront apartment in a master community near Yas Island, at a smaller ticket than the Sobha City villas: the 1 bedroom types are the entry point, and the 2 and 3 bedroom types suit families who want the promenade, the schools and the parks within the community. Tenants working on Yas Island and at the airport are the natural rental market, thirteen to fifteen minutes away.
Masterpiece Property is a licensed Abu Dhabi brokerage. Our consultants take you through the River Cove towers, the views and the price list, and guide you from reservation to registration.
