Manarat Living, a boutique residential complex, will offer aspirational living to Abu Dhabi’s cultural area on Saadiyat Island, according to a Monday announcement by Aldar Properties.
The development will have 273 residences nearby the cultural hub Manarat Al Saadiyat, where year-round art exhibitions, workshops, and performances are experienced, giving consumers of all nationalities a special chance to live and invest in one of Aldar’s most sought-after locations.
There are studio, one, and two-bedroom floor plans available, as well as two-bedroom apartments with maid’s quarters.
“All units will have a distinctive design and modern finishes, with buyers having a choice of two colour schemes for their homes. Prices for studios start from Dh634,000, one-beds from Dh1.28 million, two-beds from Dh1.95 million and two-beds plus maid’s room from Dh2.45 million,” according to Aldar statement.
Apartments can be purchased starting on February 9. Manarat Living’s construction is scheduled to start in the third quarter of 2023, while handovers are anticipated to start in the first quarter of 2026, it was stated.
Manarat Living is the first project to be on the market as part of Aldar’s design-led urban collection, the company’s new boutique living concept that will introduce a variety of vibrant and welcoming communities to prime neighbourhoods of Abu Dhabi at a more reasonable price point.
Several other attractions, such as one of the best beaches in the UAE, the vibrant dining and nightlife of Mamsha Al Saadiyat and Soul Beach, five outstanding museums, the Abrahamic Family House, and Cranleigh, one of Abu Dhabi’s top schools, are also easily accessible from the neighbourhood.
“With our finger on the pulse of Abu Dhabi’s thriving property market, our research has shown a growing demand for high-quality, aspirational living spaces at more accessible price points, whilst still being located in highly desirable destinations across the emirate,” Rashed Al Omaira, chief commercial officer at Aldar Development, said.
In order to complement Manarat Living’s community-focused facilities, which are motivated by the art and cultural assets in the neighbourhood, the development reflects its stronger design-led personality with a bold urban aesthetic and modern, colourful, and friendly lobby areas. In addition to having unique architectural features and colour schemes in their apartments, Manarat Living residents can take advantage of an art studio, yoga breakout spaces, and a zen garden.
“With Manarat Living being designed to plug into Abu Dhabi’s culturally rich neighbourhood in a seamless and intuitive way, the first project under this urban collection will bring a new customer segment to the island. This is only the start of this new concept and we look forward to unveiling further developments within the collection soon,” Al Omaira said.
In keeping with Aldar’s dedication to customer centricity, the development has been thoughtfully developed to give a more aspirational experience. A large selection of top-notch amenities, such as multipurpose rooms, coworking areas, a rooftop pool, a gym, a vertical running track, and more, will be available to residents.
Additionally, residents will have access to all that the island has to offer, including Saadiyat Grove, luxurious beach resorts, renowned museums, and prestigious educational institutions like Cranleigh School and Berklee School of Music.
Both first-time homebuyers and foreign investors find the development’s distinctive location on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi’s Cultural District to be appealing. Additionally, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi City, Al Jubail Island, and Al Reem Island are all nearby important infrastructural and lifestyle developments in Abu Dhabi.
Manarat Living will use a variety of sustainable design and construction techniques, such as the use of efficient water fixtures, green building techniques, and sustainable building materials, as part of Aldar’s commitment to sustainability. According to Estidama’s sustainability grading system, the development has been planned to receive a two-pearl grade.
