Abu Dhabi has officially unveiled Marsa Al Saadiyat, a landmark waterfront development with an estimated investment value of AED 100 billion, marking one of the most ambitious real estate projects in the UAE. The launch was witnessed by His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council. The master-planned community represents the final phase of the Saadiyat Island masterplan and is expected to redefine luxury waterfront living in the capital.

Spanning approximately 6.4 million square metres, Marsa Al Saadiyat is designed as a vibrant mixed-use destination that combines premium residential communities, luxury hospitality, world-class retail, entertainment, cultural attractions, and public spaces. The development will feature Abu Dhabi’s largest marina, scenic waterfront promenades, parks, hotels, fine dining venues, and high-end lifestyle amenities, creating a destination that caters to residents, investors, and tourists alike.

The project is being developed by Aldar as the master developer and is expected to accommodate more than 58,000 residents upon completion. Marsa Al Saadiyat has been carefully planned to blend modern urban living with the natural beauty of Saadiyat Island while enhancing connectivity to Abu Dhabi’s renowned Cultural District, which is home to internationally recognized museums and attractions.

Construction activities are scheduled to begin with enabling and infrastructure works, while the first residential units are expected to be released for sale during the second half of 2026. The project is anticipated to strengthen Abu Dhabi’s position as a leading global destination for luxury real estate investment and sustainable waterfront communities. It also reflects the emirate’s long-term vision of economic diversification, tourism growth, and premium lifestyle development.

Marsa Al Saadiyat is expected to attract strong interest from both local and international investors thanks to its prime location, integrated community planning, exceptional waterfront setting, and world-class infrastructure. As demand for premium properties in Abu Dhabi continues to rise, this mega development is set to become one of the UAE’s most prestigious real estate destinations over the coming years.
