Manarat Living (Phase 1) is a flagship boutique development by Aldar Properties, set within the high-energy Saadiyat Cultural District. Crafted for those who value both creativity and convenience, the project showcases 273 units ranging from chic studios to expansive 2-bedroom + maid apartments. This was the first “Living” branded project developed by Aldar on Saadiyat Island, characterized by its industrial-chic aesthetic, customizable interior themes, and a deep commitment to sustainability, holding a prestigious Estidama Pearl 2 rating.

The development is perfectly located within Saadiyat Grove, putting residents within a 5-minute walk of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, plus the upcoming Guggenheim. The community is designed for the “barefoot luxury” lifestyle, where mangroves and white-sand coastlines are your backyard, and world-class art is your neighbor. Currently under construction, Phase 1 is well on track for its scheduled handover in February 2026.

Why Invest in Manarat Living

  • Museum District Premium: Properties located within the Saadiyat Cultural District historically experience the highest capital appreciation in Abu Dhabi.
  • Sold-Out Status: With Phase 1, 2, and 3 all selling out rapidly (Phase 3 in just 24 hours), the secondary market demand for Manarat units is exceptionally high.
  • Strong ROI Potential: Rental yields for studios and 1BRs in this area are projected at 7.5% – 8.2%, driven by young professionals and educators at nearby schools/universities.
  • Aldar Quality: As Abu Dhabi’s leading developer, Aldar ensures high build quality, robust property management, and long-term asset security.
  • Sustainable Living: The Pearl 2 rating significantly reduces utility costs, making these units more attractive to long-term tenants.
