From AED 2.95 million, on a 50/50 plan

Aldar publishes a starting price and a collection-wide size range. If the entry price attaches to the smallest home, AED 2.95 million for 70 square metres implies about AED 42,100 per square metre, or roughly AED 3,915 per square foot, and that is the rate to test any specific unit against. The plan holds 50 per cent back to handover, with 5 per cent due at booking.

Our view on Sei Saadiyat.

Sei Saadiyat is a real launch on published terms, and the terms are better than average. Get the unit’s size and price, the dated instalment schedule, and the building and elevation of your home in writing. If the rate lands near AED 3,900 per square foot for a quiet, museum-facing home with half the money held to 2030, it is a strong proposition in the UAE’s cultural capital.

+What we like

The address is the strongest cultural address in the UAE and most of it is built. Aldar is the largest listed developer in Abu Dhabi and master developer of the island, about as strong a delivery covenant as the market offers. The 50/50 with 5 per cent down is genuinely buyer-friendly: half the price stays with the buyer until handover, and the entry deposit is AED 147,500. The amenity programme is specific and unusually wellness-led for the price band, and Jacobs and Kettle Collective are named design partners.

–What to weigh

Match the entry price to a specific home: ask for the price, size and floor plan by bedroom.
Take the dated instalment schedule inside the 45 per cent construction tranche with your reservation.
The first phase is 265 of 778 homes, and later phases carry their own pricing.
Choose your building and elevation carefully, because the outlook varies across six buildings.
Take the ADREC registration, the escrow account and the advertising permit number with your reservation.
