INVESTMENT CONTEXT

Saadiyat Island scarcity and Marsa masterplan context

Marsa Al Saadiyat activates the final phase of the Saadiyat Island masterplan. Once this phase is sold, no further developable waterfront land remains on the island. Talay is the first named release within that chapter.

Approximately 86 per cent of Saadiyat Island buyers are expatriates. Purchases above AED 2 million qualify for the 10-year Golden Visa in designated freehold zones. Off-plan funds are held in escrow regulated by Abu Dhabi's Department of Municipalities and Transport.
