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 | [Saadiyat Island](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/abu-dhabi/saadiyat-island) (Saadiyat Cultural District), Abu Dhabi | | Status | under construction | | Developer's handover target | Q3 2029 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 16,000,000 to AED 95,000,000 (Property Finder listing, 13 November 2026) | | Home types | 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom apartments, 4-bedroom apartments, 4-bedroom penthouses | | Total units | 77 | | Brand | Baccarat | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Baccarat Residences Saadiyat is a building by [Aldar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/aldar) carrying the Baccarat brand, in the Cultural District of [Saadiyat Island](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/abu-dhabi/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. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2-bedroom apartments | AED 16,000,000 | | | | available | | 3-bedroom apartments | AED 33,000,000 | | | | available | | 4-bedroom apartments | AED 46,000,000 | | | | available | | 4-bedroom penthouses | AED 95,000,000 | | | | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 13 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 10/60/30 - Down payment: 10% (On booking) - During construction: 60% - On handover: 30% (Q3 2029 (Aldar)) Paid before handover: 70%.
