Overview

A 31-storey tower by One Development on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, with a rooftop pad for electric air taxis. 196 homes from one to four bedrooms, from about AED 1.4 million, due Q2 2028.

ONE Residence is the first Abu Dhabi project by One Development: a single tower of 196 homes on Al Reem Island, the high-rise island beside the city centre. It rises 31 storeys, with three podium levels and a roof, and handover is due in the second quarter of 2028. The developer launched it at Emirates Palace and markets it as the first AI-integrated community in Abu Dhabi.

The feature that draws attention is on the roof: a landing pad designed for electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, the air taxis expected to start passenger service in the UAE in the coming years. The developer calls it the world's first vertiport in a residential tower and adds a drone delivery system. Both depend on operators and regulators outside the developer's control, so treat them as future possibilities rather than services you can count on at handover.

The homes are more conventional and more generous than the headline suggests. One-bedroom apartments run from 875 to 1,300 sq ft and four-bedroom duplexes reach 3,352 sq ft. Two- and three-bedroom homes come as single-level apartments or duplexes, and the larger layouts add a helper's room and store. Facilities include a pool and kids' pool, a spa with sauna, a hyperbaric oxygen therapy room, a yoga and Pilates studio, a gym, a multi-purpose court, mini golf and an outdoor theatre. The developer gives about 15 minutes to the Corniche and Saadiyat's Cultural District, 25 minutes to Yas Island and 30 minutes to Zayed International Airport.

The payment plan is 10% on booking, 40% in eight milestone instalments during construction and 50% on handover. One Development lists prices from about AED 1.4 million, while Property Finder gives a launch price of AED 3.64 million and now marks the project as sold out. Confirm which homes are still offered by the developer, and compare them with resale prices on the island.

Who it suits: families and owner-occupiers who want a large new apartment close to Abu Dhabi's centre, and buyers drawn to a building with a distinctive story. What to weigh: Al Reem Island has plenty of completed towers, so rents and resale prices there are a useful check on the off-plan price, and the developer has not yet completed a project in the UAE.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Abu Dhabi the registration authority is the ADREC.

Purchase priceEntry 1-bedroom apartment at ONE ResidenceAED 1,400,000

Registration fee (2%)Paid to Abu Dhabi's real-estate registry (ADREC / DMT) when the sale is registered. The default is an equal split between the parties, but most contracts pass the full 2% to the buyer.AED 28,000

Estimated total to completeAED 1,428,000about £293K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
