Off-Plan

1-bedroom apartments for sale in Abu Dhabi

One-bedroom units are the workhorse of the rental market: the deepest tenant pool, the fastest absorption and usually the best gross yield per dirham invested. They are also the first stock to sell at launch, so the units still available in a project tell you something about its pricing.

Apartments are the deepest and most liquid segment of the UAE off-plan market, which cuts both ways: the widest choice of payment plans and price points, but also the segment where tower quality varies most between developers. The projects that hold value at handover share the same traits: a developer with a delivery track record, a district with real infrastructure spending, and service charges that leave room for net yield.

Abu Dhabi's off-plan market is narrower and more institutional than Dubai's, dominated by Aldar and a handful of established names, with most launches concentrated on the investment zones of Saadiyat, Yas and Al Reem. Prices per square foot typically undercut comparable Dubai waterfront stock while the tenant base, anchored by government and energy employers, is unusually stable.

Right now the supply in this segment concentrates in Al Reem Island, Al Shamkha and Bashayer Residences 1. Aldar Properties PJSC, Burtville and Reportage Real Estate are the most active developers here. Disclosed starting prices open at AED 340,000 and reach AED 6.2M, with handovers scheduled between 2026 and 2030.
