Money and timing
What an Al Reem apartment costs beyond the price
The rates are the ones we publish for Abu Dhabi. The worked example sets a finished one bedroom beside a launch.
| Cost | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer fee | 2% of the price | AED 26,000 on the AED 1,300,000 Burooj Views one bedroom in Marina Square. |
| Down Payment to borrow | 20% expatriates, 15% UAE nationals | Burooj Views asks AED 260,000, or AED 195,000 from a UAE national buying a first home. |
| Down Payment on a launch | 5% or 10% | 5% at Radiant Bridges, Rotana Residences and Tara Park 2. 10% at Sunstone, Seamont and The Artery. |
| Paid at handover | 45% to 80% of the price | 45% at Radiant Garden, 50% at Sunstone, 60% at Tara Park 2, 80% on Radiant Terrace three bedrooms. |
| Taking over an off plan contract | What the seller has paid | Plus any premium they ask. The developer's remaining instalments then fall to you. |
AED 286,000 on transfer day, or AED 84,000 at booking
A finished Burooj Views one bedroom at AED 1,300,000 needs an AED 260,000 Down Payment on transfer day, plus the AED 26,000 transfer fee. A Tara Park 2 one bedroom at AED 1,680,000 asks AED 84,000 at booking and AED 1,008,000 on completion in April 2030.
Service charges are set per building, so get the figure in writing. Launch plans change between releases, and we confirm each cost before you sign.

Questions about buying an apartment on Al Reem Island
Each answer uses the figures on this page.
Our Al Reem list runs from AED 825,000 for a Hydra Avenue studio to AED 3,736,600 for an Al Durrah Tower three bedroom, with a median of AED 1,800,000. One bedrooms start at AED 1,000,000, two bedrooms at AED 1,940,000 and three bedrooms at AED 3,100,000. The lowest launch price we can confirm is AED 603,000, a Radiant Bridges studio.
On our list, yes. The 12 finished homes ask about AED 1,530 a square foot at the median and the 15 off plan resales AED 1,730, and finished homes ask the lower median rate at every size from studio to three bedrooms. What off plan offers instead is less cash at the start.
Marina Square, counted as one district. All four of its homes on our list are finished, at Marina Blue, Burooj Views, Ocean Terrace and RAK Tower, from AED 1,250,000. City of Lights has two finished studios at Hydra Avenue, and Shams Abu Dhabi one finished two bedroom at Parkside Residence.
From Q1 2027 at Elie Saab Waterfront to Q4 2031 at Bab Al Qasr Beach Resort Residence 77. Rivage and Radisson Residences come in Q4 2027, Radiant Garden in Q2 2028, Sunstone and Rotana Residences in Q4 2028, Radiant Bridges and Muheira in Q2 2029, and both Tara Park releases in Q2 2030. Developers can move these dates.
5% or 10% where a plan is published: 5% at Radisson Residences, Radiant Bridges, Rotana Residences and both Tara Park releases, 10% at Sunstone, Seamont, Saas Heights, The Artery Residences and Bab Al Qasr 77. The handover payment runs from 45% at Radiant Garden to 80% on the three and four bedrooms at Radiant Terrace.
A contract bought from a first buyer before the tower is handed over. 15 of our 27 Al Reem apartments are sold this way, most in Shams Abu Dhabi, Radisson Residences and Radiant Garden. The seller is paid out on transfer, the developer's remaining instalments fall to you, and the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre records the sale.
Nineteen towers on our list this week. Finished homes sit at Hydra Avenue, Julphar Residence, Pixel, Marina Blue, Burooj Views, Ocean Terrace, RAK Tower, Parkside Residence, The Gate and Al Durrah Tower. The contracts are at Radiant Garden, Radiant Elite, Radiant Wave, Radiant Marina Towers, Radisson Residences, Rivage, Canal By M, Vista 3 and Reem Hills 2.
Three on our list today, all studios: finished ones at AED 825,000 in Hydra Avenue and AED 840,000 in Julphar Residence, and an off plan studio at Radiant Garden for AED 860,000. The lowest one bedroom asks exactly AED 1,000,000, at Radiant Elite.
Yes. Al Reem Island is a freehold community, so buyers of any nationality can own a finished apartment or an off plan contract outright, with the sale recorded by the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre.
Call 800 666 888 or send the form on this page with your budget, size and preferred stage. We reply with the Al Reem apartments that fit, each with its handover date, then arrange viewings and handle the paperwork to transfer.
