Arancia Yards
The first homes in Beyond's The Yards master plan in City of Arabia: 272 one- to three-bedroom apartments in three low-rise buildings around a sunken garden, from AED 1.1 million, due in Q4 2029.
What works
- Entry prices from AED 1.1 million, far below Beyond's waterfront projects.
- Low-rise buildings around a 4,200 sq m sunken garden, in a master plan with 70% open landscape.
- Generous sizes: two-bedroom apartments up to 1,538 sq ft on Property Finder's listings.
What to weigh
- 60% is due on handover, the largest completion payment among Beyond's current projects.
- The Yards is at an early stage; the wider master plan and nearby metro links are planned, not built.
- Beyond gives Q4 2029; Property Finder lists October 2028 and June 2029 for the two phases.
ONE Residence
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.
What works
- Generous layouts: one-bedroom homes from 875 sq ft and four-bedroom duplexes over 3,300 sq ft.
- Half the price is due on handover, with 40% spread across eight construction milestones.
- Al Reem Island sits beside Abu Dhabi's centre, about 15 minutes from the Corniche by the developer's estimate.
What to weigh
- Property Finder marks the project as sold out, while the developer still markets it. Confirm which homes remain.
- Sources disagree on price: from about AED 1.4 million on the developer's site, AED 3.64 million on Property Finder.
- The air-taxi pad and drone delivery depend on outside operators and regulation. Do not count on them at handover.
