Aldar's own listing now shows only three four-bedroom sky villas, from AED 48.3 million to AED 49.9 million. 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 | Q1 2028 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 48,323,300 to AED 49,924,800 (developer price list, 13 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 7,614 | | Home types | 4-bedroom duplexes | | Total units | 44 | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Mamsha Palm is a small residential building by [Aldar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/aldar) in the Cultural District of [Saadiyat Island](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/abu-dhabi/saadiyat-island), with views towards the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi site and the beach, shops and restaurants close by. Aldar's headline describes 44 apartments; its at-a-glance panel counts 46 units, and the difference appears to be the ground-floor retail. Homes run up to four bedrooms, from 809 to 8,071 sq ft, across apartments and duplexes. Aldar lists it as under construction with completion in Q1 2028, and Property Finder records construction starting in September 2024. What Aldar is selling now is narrow. Its unit listing on 13 November 2026 showed three four-bedroom duplex sky villas, priced from AED 48.3 million to AED 49.9 million and sized 6,347 to 8,071 sq ft. No smaller homes were listed by the developer, so the one- to three-bedroom apartments appear to have been sold. Aldar's community card still shows a starting figure of AED 3.3 million, and Property Finder still shows launch prices of AED 3.6 million for one bedroom, AED 6.6 million for two and AED 12 million for three. Those are launch figures, not current developer stock. Smaller homes now come up as owner resales, and Property Finder listed six resale units in the building. Property Finder publishes a 65/35 plan: 65% during construction and 35% on handover, with no separate deposit stage shown. On the cheapest sky villa that leaves about AED 16.9 million due at completion. Property Finder does not break the construction payments down, so confirm the schedule that applies to the sky villas before reserving. The sky villas suit a buyer who wants a very large home in a small building close to the museums, and who values privacy over an extensive list of facilities. Property Finder puts Louvre Abu Dhabi about five minutes away and Zayed National Museum about eight. Shared amenities are a rooftop pool, a gym, a sauna and ice bath, children's play areas, a double-height lobby lounge, ground-floor food and beverage, and a 24-hour concierge. What to weigh: very few buyers shop at almost AED 50 million for an apartment, so a resale could take time, and service charges for the building have not been published. Aldar and Property Finder also disagree on completion: Aldar says Q1 2028, Property Finder Q4 2028. Use the date in the sale agreement. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 4-bedroom duplexes | AED 48,323,300 | AED 49,924,800 | 6,347 to 8,071 sq ft | | limited | Prices are the developer's list prices as of 13 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 65/35 - During construction: 65% - On handover: 35% (Q1 2028 (Aldar)) Paid before handover: 65%.
