Waterfront by Missoni, Al Reem Island
Emirates Properties brings the Missoni brand to Abu Dhabi's waterfront. Waterfront by Missoni delivers apartments on Al Reem Island, a mixed-use island district connected to Abu Dhabi Island by road bridges. Missoni is an Italian fashion house best known for its patterns and textiles; a residential project bearing the name signals a design-led focus on interiors, pattern work, and material finish. The project opens with a 5% down payment and a price range that spans multiple buyer profiles.
Al Reem Island: What the Location Means
Al Reem Island sits just off the eastern shore of Abu Dhabi Island, connected to the main island by road bridges. The central business district is a short drive, making this an accessible address for professionals working in the city center. The island has its own retail, dining, and commercial infrastructure, so residents can meet most daily needs without regularly crossing back to the main city.
The waterfront setting gives units facing the water a view advantage over inland positions. Al Reem Island sits within Abu Dhabi's urban core rather than on the outskirts, which keeps commute times short.
AED 1.9M to AED 8.5M: Reading the Range
Prices run from AED 1,900,000 to AED 8,500,000. That is a 4.5x spread within a single property type: apartments. A gap this wide within one project reflects meaningful variation in floor level, orientation, view quality, and unit size.
Buyers at AED 1.9M are entering at the base of a Missoni-branded address. Buyers at AED 8.5M are at the top end, where size, floor position, views, and the brand premium converge. The Missoni name carries more weight at the upper end, where finish standard and design language are the primary differentiators from the entry tier. At the entry price, the Missoni address and access to shared facilities make this a design-branded product at a lower commitment level.
Getting In for 5%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 5% |
| During construction | 35% |
| On handover | 60% |
A 5% down payment means approximately AED 95,000 to secure a position at the minimum asking price. The structure spreads 35% across the construction period, with 60% due at handover: AED 1,140,000 on the minimum-priced unit and AED 5,100,000 on the maximum.
That handover payment is the central feature of this plan. It falls in a single step rather than being distributed after keys are received. There is no post-handover installment component. The full transaction cost completes at the point of handover, concentrating the financial commitment at a fixed date.
Amenities
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Water | Indoor Swimming Pool, Children's Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool is the standout item in this list. Abu Dhabi summer temperatures make outdoor pools impractical for several months of the year. An indoor facility removes that seasonal constraint entirely. The children's pool, gymnasium, landscaped gardens, and on-site dining together describe a building where residents are expected to spend meaningful time rather than treat it purely as overnight accommodation. The amenity set points at long-stay, family-oriented occupancy.
Completion
Expected completion is October 2026, the current month. The project is at or near the handover stage. A buyer entering now faces an immediate handover obligation rather than a deferred one. The 60% falls due this month.
