Overview

Baccarat-branded residences in Saadiyat Cultural District: 77 homes of two to four bedrooms plus sky villas and penthouses, due in Q3 2029. Property Finder shows launch prices from AED 16 million.

Baccarat Residences Saadiyat is a building by Aldar carrying the Baccarat brand, in the Cultural District of Saadiyat Island, close to Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi site. Aldar describes two- to four-bedroom residences plus sky villas and penthouses, from 2,015 to 25,084 sq ft. Property Finder counts 77 residences; Aldar's at-a-glance panel counts 78 units, including retail. The building is under construction, with completion in Q3 2029 on both Aldar's page and Property Finder, which records construction starting in April 2026.

Aldar lists no units for sale online and shows no starting price for the building. Property Finder shows launch prices of AED 16 million for two-bedroom apartments, AED 33 million for three bedrooms, AED 46 million for four-bedroom apartments and AED 95 million for a four-bedroom sky villa, without sizes. These are Property Finder's launch figures, not Aldar's current price list, and the same page also says pricing is coming soon, so treat them as indicative and ask Aldar for the live list.

Property Finder publishes a 10/60/30 plan: a 10% down payment, 60% during construction and 30% on handover. On a AED 16 million apartment that is AED 1.6 million on booking and AED 4.8 million at completion in 2029.

This is a small building at the top of the Abu Dhabi market. It suits a buyer who wants a large branded home in the museum district and is buying mainly for their own use rather than for rental yield. The facilities lean towards wellbeing: a rain room, a spa with treatment suites, a relaxation lounge, a wellness centre and an infinity pool, with a private screening room, private dining, and a children's club and play area. Property Finder puts Abu Dhabi's Corniche within about 20 minutes, Yas Island about 25 and Zayed International Airport about 30.

What to weigh: at these prices the pool of resale buyers is very small, and Baccarat's service charges have not been published. Without sizes for each type, the price per sq ft cannot yet be compared with other Saadiyat buildings. Ask Aldar for floor plans, the service charge estimate and the price list before committing.

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 2-bedroom apartment at Baccarat Residences SaadiyatAED 16,000,000
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 320,000
Estimated total to completeAED 16,320,000about £3.34M

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.

Golden Visa. Every unit type here is priced above AED 2 million, the threshold for the 10-year visa by property. Check eligibility

Aldar profile and track record

Adviser's view

What works

  • One of 77 residences, on Property Finder's count, in a branded building in Saadiyat Cultural District
  • Completion in Q3 2029 is the same on Aldar's page and Property Finder
  • Wellbeing facilities including a rain room, spa and treatment suites and an infinity pool
  • A 10% deposit on the plan published by Property Finder

What to weigh

  • Prices are Property Finder launch figures; Aldar lists no units or prices online
  • 30% falls due on handover: AED 4.8 million on a AED 16 million apartment
  • Branded service charges have not been published
  • A very small pool of buyers at AED 16 million to AED 95 million, so a resale can be slow
  • No sizes are published for each type, so the price per sq ft cannot be checked yet
