Zayed City (Khalifa City C): A Master-Planned Residential Zone Taking Shape in Abu Dhabi

Zayed City, also referred to as Khalifa City C, sits within Khalifa City on Abu Dhabi's southern mainland corridor. It is a planned residential expansion zone rather than an established neighbourhood, and the projects currently listed here reflect that character: low-rise family living, generous plot sizes, and a developer strategy built around phased delivery over several years.

With 9 projects across the subdistrict, buyer choice is real but focused. The inventory leans toward horizontal living, with townhouses and villas accounting for the majority of what is on offer.

Who Is Building Here and What They Are Building

Bloom Properties is the developer behind the projects in this subdistrict. That kind of concentration is typical of master-planned zones in Abu Dhabi, where a single developer controls land parcels and delivers across multiple phases under a unified vision. For buyers, this means greater consistency in build standards and community design from one phase to the next. The trade-off is limited choice of developer brand, which can narrow resale comparables when the time comes to exit.

The property mix across the 9 projects breaks down as follows:

Townhouses and villas together signal a market aimed primarily at families and owner-occupiers who want space and privacy. The two apartment listings are a small slice of the inventory and likely serve buyers with a lower entry budget or a preference for a lock-up-and-leave format within the same community.

Prices, Payment Terms, and Delivery Timeline

The median asking price across this subdistrict sits at AED 1,800,000, which is a useful anchor for a typical purchase here. The range runs from AED 590,000 at the lower end up to AED 8,500,000 at the top, a spread that reflects the gap between compact apartment units and larger villa configurations.

Entry is accessible. The minimum down payment is 5%, which is low relative to standard Abu Dhabi off-plan requirements and reduces the upfront capital needed to secure a unit. 6 of the 9 projects include post-handover payment plans. That is two-thirds of the available inventory, meaning buyers can spread payments beyond completion rather than settling the balance at handover, which eases cash flow considerably during the construction period and immediately after.

Delivery runs from December 2024 through to December 2028. Some projects at the earlier end of that window may already be complete or approaching handover, so buyers should verify the current construction status of any specific unit before committing. Projects launching or in early construction now fall toward the 2027 to 2028 end of that window.

The amenity pattern across Bloom Living, Olvera, and Toledo, the three named sub-areas within Zayed City, points clearly toward family households. Children's play areas, a running track, landscaped gardens, and a gymnasium are the recurring features. CCTV and on-site security appear consistently too, which matters for owner-occupiers with children. Valet parking and restaurants suggest that at least some of the communities within this zone are targeting a buyer who expects a fuller lifestyle offering within the gates rather than relying entirely on external amenity.
