Manarat Living Phase 2: Saadiyat Island Apartments Completing March 2027
Aldar Properties is delivering Manarat Living Phase 2 in the Cultural District of Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi. This is the second phase of the Manarat Living community. The project offers apartments, with construction underway since April 2024. Completion is expected in March 2027, about four months from now. A buyer entering today is approaching the end of the off-plan cycle.
What a Saadiyat Cultural District Address Actually Means
Saadiyat Island sits just off Abu Dhabi's northern coastline, connected to the mainland by bridge. It is a short drive from the city centre. The island occupies its own distinct zone: lower-density than downtown Abu Dhabi, closer to open water and parkland.
The Cultural District is the institutional centre of the island. The Louvre Abu Dhabi is located here. The district developed around arts and civic infrastructure, and that shapes the character of the immediate neighbourhood. Cultural venues, direct beach access, and the New York University Abu Dhabi campus sit within the island's geography.
For the commute, getting into Abu Dhabi's main business and commercial areas from Saadiyat is practical. The bridge connection makes the city accessible without requiring residents to live inside its density.
AED 730,000: One Price Point
The listed price is AED 730,000 across all units. The minimum and maximum are the same figure. Every apartment in this phase carries an identical price, with no differentiation by floor, view, or size in the listed data. For a buyer comparing this against other projects, there is a single number to work with.
At AED 730,000, this is the entry point for an apartment in the Cultural District of Saadiyat Island.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 55% |
| On handover | 35% |
AED 73,000 secures a unit. The 10% down payment is a low barrier to entry. The construction phase absorbs 55% of the total, paid progressively as the build proceeds. 35% falls due at handover in March 2027. The structure concentrates the majority of the cost in the construction period, with a significant final payment at completion.
Amenities Built Around Active Residents
| Theme | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Active and Wellness | Yoga room, Infinity Pool, Running Track, Cycle track |
| Outdoor and Family | Children's Play Area, Landscaped Parks, Private Garden |
| Entertainment | Cinema |
Eight amenities across active, outdoor, and entertainment uses. The combination of running track, cycle track, yoga room, and infinity pool forms a strong wellness core. These four facilities together indicate a project targeting residents who treat fitness as part of daily life, not as an occasional use.
The cinema and children's play area extend the profile beyond young professionals or single investors. Private garden access sits alongside the communal landscaped parks, adding individual outdoor space within the development.
March 2027 Handover
Construction started in April 2024. Completion is due March 2027, roughly four months from now. For a buyer entering at this stage, the wait between contract and keys is short. This is an off-plan purchase with near-term delivery.
