Bashayer

Bashayer is a residential community on Hudayriyat Island, Abu Dhabi, developed by Modon Properties and scheduled for completion by the end of 2029. Currently under construction and available for purchase, it draws on a coastal brief that references the scale and texture of European waterfront villages.

# The community's position on Hudayriyat Island

Hudayriyat Island sits southwest of Abu Dhabi's city centre, separated from the urban core by a short causeway crossing but with direct sightlines to the capital's skyline. Modon Properties has been central to the island's development, and Bashayer forms part of that broader build-out of the coastline.

The project occupies a waterfront setting, with the marina adding a functional anchor to the community's edge. That combination of sheltered water on one side and open coastal views on the other gives the site a distinct sense of enclosure without isolation.

# Residences: scale, layouts and specification

The current availability within Bashayer is limited. Two units are listed for sale, ranging from approximately 1,586 to 1,637 square feet, with prices sitting between AED 3.68 million and AED 3.81 million.

The developer's brief describes residences with open-plan living and dining arrangements, master bedrooms fitted with walk-in wardrobes, and terraces designed to address the water views. Villas in the community extend to more generous configurations, incorporating guest rooms, family living areas, separate show and service kitchens, and master suites with dedicated dressing space. Select shore villas include a majlis room and covered outdoor living area, a layout that acknowledges the social patterns of Gulf domestic life without forcing them into a generic floor plan.

Finishes are described as marine-inspired, with an emphasis on quality materials and craftsmanship. Given that the project does not complete until December 2029, detailed specification sheets would be the appropriate reference point for buyers making comparisons.

# Amenities built into the community fabric

The community programme includes a swimming pool, multi-sport courts, a gym, a waterfront promenade, a marina, a beach and a clubhouse. Indoor social infrastructure runs to a chef's kitchen and lounge, a co-working space, a gaming room and a kids' club. Dining and retail outlets are incorporated within the development rather than positioned as a separate commercial strip.

# Connectivity across Abu Dhabi and beyond

Hudayriyat Island's proximity to central Abu Dhabi means that key addresses remain accessible without significant travel time. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi Global Market, Zayed International Airport and Downtown Abu Dhabi are all reachable by road. Dubai is roughly 90 to 120 minutes away depending on traffic, which positions the island comfortably within the corridor used by buyers who operate across both emirates.

# The buyer profile this project addresses

Bashayer suits a buyer who wants a primary or secondary Abu Dhabi residence at a price point below the AED 5 million threshold, without stepping into the apartment market. The waterfront setting, the marina infrastructure and the villa-scale layouts make the most sense for families or second-home buyers from the GCC, Europe or Asia who are drawn to Abu Dhabi's relative calm and the island's coastal character. The 2029 completion horizon means this is a medium-term commitment, best suited to buyers who have already resolved their near-term housing needs elsewhere.
