Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [Modon](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/modon) | | Location | [Hudayriyat Island](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/abu-dhabi/hudayriyat-island) (Wadeem), Abu Dhabi | | Status | launched | | Developer's handover target | Q2 2031 | | Sales launched | 2026-09 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 8,700,000 to AED 11,600,000 (published figure, 13 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 1,507 | | Home types | 4-bedroom villas, 5-bedroom villas, 6-bedroom villas | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Wadeem Gardens is the villa community at the centre of Wadeem, the district [Modon](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/modon) is building on [Hudayriyat Island](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/abu-dhabi/hudayriyat-island). Modon launched phase one on 30 September 2026. The district is planned around a 2.3 km central spine, and Modon describes the wider Wadeem community as housing 35,000 residents once complete, with an arena, six clubhouses, two international schools, an office park, healthcare centres, cinemas, shops and restaurants, and a waterfront promenade. The villas are not on the water: Modon says the promenades are within walking distance of every home. The homes are four-, five- and six-bedroom villas in a gated community with 24-hour security. Modon's factsheet gives one size per type: 532 sq m (about 5,726 sq ft) for four bedrooms, 630 sq m (about 6,781 sq ft) for five and 720 sq m (about 7,750 sq ft) for six. Starting prices on 13 November 2026 were AED 8.7 million, AED 10.2 million and AED 11.6 million respectively. Buyers choose between exterior finishes and interior layouts, and each plot has space set aside for a private pool, to be added by the owner subject to community approval. The payment plan is what sets this release apart. Modon publishes it as 25/75: 5% on booking, four further 5% instalments during construction, and 75% at handover. Property Finder dates the instalments to June 2027, December 2027, June 2028 and October 2030. Modon has arranged Sharia-compliant off-plan finance with Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) for up to 75% of the price, with pre-approval in about two hours and no processing or valuation fee for eligible applicants. UAE nationals receive a non-transferable 5% rebate, equal to the last 5% due at handover. A buyer may resell before handover once at least 20% of the price has been paid. Who it suits: families who want a large villa within reach of central Abu Dhabi and expect to live in it from 2031, and buyers who would rather finance the bulk of the price than pay it in cash during construction. Modon puts the Corniche about 20 minutes away by car and Zayed International Airport about 15. What to weigh. Handover is more than four years away, and the schools, arena and spine that give the district its appeal are plans, not buildings. The 75% handover payment is large: on the entry villa it is about AED 6.5 million, which must come from a mortgage, savings or a sale. ADIB sets its own eligibility, so obtain an approval before relying on it. Sizes differ between sources: Property Finder lists smaller figures (4,628 to 6,362 sq ft) than Modon's factsheet, probably because one figure is internal floor area and the other includes outdoor space. Confirm the measured built-up area in the sale agreement. Service charges have not been published. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 4-bedroom villas | AED 8,700,000 | | 5,726 sq ft | | available | | 5-bedroom villas | AED 10,200,000 | | 6,781 sq ft | | available | | 6-bedroom villas | AED 11,600,000 | | 7,750 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 ### 25/75 - Down payment: 5% (On booking) - First construction instalment: 5% (Month 8 (June 2027)) - Second construction instalment: 5% (Month 14 (December 2027)) - Third construction instalment: 5% (Month 20 (June 2028)) - Fourth construction instalment: 5% (Month 48 (October 2030)) - On handover: 75% (Q2 2031) Paid before handover: 25%.
