On 13 November 2026 Aldar's remaining stock was mainly two-bedroom duplexes from AED 6,637,310. Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [Aldar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/aldar) | | Location | [Fahid Island](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/abu-dhabi/fahid-island), Abu Dhabi | | Status | under construction | | Developer's handover target | Q2 2029 | | Sales launched | 2025-06 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 6,637,310 to AED 7,672,829 (published figure, 13 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 3,887 | | Home types | 2-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom duplexes | | Total units | 489 | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Fahid Beach Residences was the first residential launch on [Fahid Island](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/abu-dhabi/fahid-island), released by [Aldar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/aldar) in June 2025 when it unveiled the island. It is a beachfront development of 489 units, from studios to five-bedroom penthouses, with duplexes and ground-floor retail, and with the island's beach on the doorstep. Aldar's published size range runs from 722 sq ft to 16,134 sq ft across all unit and retail types. Aldar lists the project as under construction with completion in Q2 2029, which makes it the earliest of the three Fahid schemes. Property Finder records construction from 3 June 2025 and completion in June 2029, which agrees. Aldar reported more than AED 3.5 billion of sales across Fahid Island in the launch week, with 67% going to expatriate residents and overseas buyers. Very little developer stock is left. On 13 November 2026 Aldar's own listing showed 12 two-bedroom duplexes from AED 6,637,310 to AED 7,474,696 (1,641 to 1,653 sq ft) and one two-bedroom apartment at AED 7,672,829 (2,058 sq ft). Aldar's listing card shows a starting price of AED 4 million, and Property Finder's launch prices began at AED 3.5 million for a one-bedroom flat of 990 sq ft, but the one-bedroom units on Aldar's listing were owner resales asking AED 3.615 million to AED 4.4 million. Property Finder now files the project in its sold-out section. For a one-bedroom or a larger family apartment here, the resale market is the realistic route. Property Finder lists a single plan: 10% at launch, 55% during construction and 35% on handover. On the cheapest duplex now listed, the handover payment would be about AED 2.32 million in 2029. The shared facilities are a short list: a gym, a spa, a cinema, a social kitchen, a multipurpose room and children's areas. The building's case rests on its position rather than its amenities: beachfront homes with sea views on an island Aldar is building around walking, cycling and the water. It suits buyers who want to be first on the island and close to the sand. Against that, early buyers will live with construction around them for years, the island has no residents yet, and most of the building sold quickly after launch, much of it to overseas and expatriate buyers, so expect competition when units reach the rental market in 2029. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2-bedroom apartments | AED 7,672,829 | | 2,058 sq ft | | limited | | 2-bedroom duplexes | AED 6,637,310 | AED 7,474,696 | 1,641 to 1,653 sq ft | | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 13 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 10/55/35 - Down payment: 10% (At sales launch) - During construction: 55% - On handover: 35% (Q2 2029) Paid before handover: 65%. As listed by Property Finder. ## What works - Beachfront building with sea views, the first homes launched on Fahid Island - Earliest completion of the Fahid schemes, in Q2 2029, with Aldar and Property Finder in agreement - Two-bedroom duplexes still offered directly by Aldar on 13 November 2026 - Spa, gym, cinema and social kitchen shared by residents - Part of an Aldar masterplan with a beach, a promenade and a school campus planned ## What to weigh - Little developer stock left: mainly two-bedroom duplexes, with one two-bedroom apartment - About AED 2.32 million (35%) falls due at handover on the cheapest duplex Aldar now lists - Aldar's listing card shows AED 4 million, but that level is only available through owner resales - Most units sold quickly after launch, largely to overseas and expatriate buyers, so many may be offered for rent or resale together in 2029 - Further Fahid Island phases will be under construction around the building after handover; service charges are not published ## Location On the beachfront of Fahid Island, Abu Dhabi, between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, close to the Coral Drive retail street. - Yas Island: about 5 minutes - Saadiyat Island: about 15 minutes - Zayed International Airport: about 15 minutes - Abu Dhabi city centre: about 20 minutes ## Amenities - Gym - Spa - Cinema - Social kitchen - Multipurpose room - Children's areas ## Questions and answers ### What is the starting price at Fahid Beach Residences?
