Al Mahra Residence, Masdar City
Siadah Development built Al Mahra Residence within Masdar City, Abu Dhabi's purpose-built sustainable district. The project spans apartments and duplexes, two distinct product types serving different buyer profiles within a single amenity-rich building.
Masdar City: What This Address Means Day-to-Day
Masdar City sits between Abu Dhabi International Airport and the Abu Dhabi city centre. The district runs on its own road network and has dedicated cycle and pedestrian infrastructure built in from the outset. This is not a traditional neighbourhood. It is a planned environment with managed access, low vehicle traffic, and a quieter character than established Abu Dhabi communities.
The airport sits minutes away, which matters for frequent travellers and tenants whose work connects to Abu Dhabi's aviation economy. Masdar City is built around a sustainability mandate, and that shapes the resident and tenant profile. Buyers here tend to prioritise a quieter, more ordered living environment over proximity to traditional retail corridors.
For investment buyers, the location defines a specific tenant profile: professionals connected to the institutions and companies in the district. That is a narrower pool than a central Abu Dhabi address.
What AED 1.4M to AED 1.67M Buys Here
Prices run from AED 1,400,000 to AED 1,670,600, a spread of just over AED 270,000. That tight range reflects two distinct product types rather than a wide size variation within one. Apartments sit at the lower end; duplexes, with a second floor and more generous layouts, carry the premium.
A buyer at AED 1.4M gets a fully amenitised apartment with covered parking and access to both shared and private gym and pool facilities. At AED 1,670,600, the duplex delivers a two-floor layout suited to families or buyers who want distinct living and sleeping zones. The price range places Al Mahra Residence in Abu Dhabi's mid-market residential tier.
Two Ways to Buy In
Apartments suit investors targeting rental income and buyers who want low-maintenance ownership. Duplexes suit families and owner-occupiers who prefer a house-like layout inside a managed building. Both types share the full amenity package.
Eighteen Amenities, One Building
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Gymnasium, Shared Gym, Private Gym, Shared Pool, Private Pool, Children's Pool |
| Outdoor & Community | Bicycle Track, Barbecue Area, Children's Play Area, Balcony |
| Practical | Covered Parking, Visitor Parking, Built-in Wardrobes, Central A/C, Maids Room, Study |
| Building Services | Security, Concierge |
The dual wellness provision is the standout feature: residents choose between shared and private gym and pool facilities within the same building. The concierge, maids room, and dedicated study point toward professional owner-occupiers and higher-end rental tenants who expect managed living rather than a basic amenity set.
A Building Already Past Its Completion Date
Construction started in May 2020. The expected completion date was December 2023, now over two years in the past. Buyers looking at Al Mahra Residence today are approaching a building at or past its handover date, not a project with years of construction ahead.
A 20% Entry, 32% at the Keys
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 48% |
| On handover | 32% |
The down payment is 20% — AED 280,000 on the entry price of AED 1.4M. The plan runs 48% through construction, with the final 32% due at handover. At entry price, that handover payment is AED 448,000. There is no post-handover instalment period. The full balance clears at key collection.
