Al Mahra Residence

Al Mahra Residence is a completed low-rise building by Siadah Development in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, offering eight two-bedroom apartments across a single structure. Prices run from AED 1,936,080 to AED 2,389,765, with handover already behind it: the building reached completion in Q3 2023.

# A single building in a planned sustainable district

Masdar City sits roughly 3.7 kilometres from Abu Dhabi International Airport, occupying a corner of Abu Dhabi that was conceived from scratch as a low-carbon urban quarter. The district is built around pedestrian-scale streets, shaded walkways and a deliberate reduction in vehicle traffic within its core. Al Mahra Residence sits within this framework as a modest, human-scaled building rather than a tower, which suits the district's planning logic.

The building itself is one structure of medium height. With only eight residences in total, the density is low by any standard, and that deliberate restraint gives the project a quieter character than most Abu Dhabi addresses at comparable price points.

# Residences, layouts and floor areas

All eight units are two-bedroom apartments, and floor areas range from approximately 1,489 sq ft to 1,838 sq ft. That spread gives buyers some choice on scale, though every unit sits comfortably in the larger end of the two-bedroom category for Abu Dhabi. The pricing reflects both the floor area and position: the entry unit at AED 1,936,080 covers around 1,489 sq ft, while the largest apartment is priced at AED 2,389,765.

The units are delivered unfurnished. Service charges run at 14 AED per sq ft annually.

Specification details from the developer reference modern finishes and an equipped kitchen, though buyers should verify current fit-out against any specific units still available.

# Amenities within the building

The amenities list is short and honest about its scale. Al Mahra Residence provides a covered swimming pool, a gym, a children's playground and two small public plazas. There are no spa facilities, concierge services or hotel-style amenities attached to this address. For a building of eight apartments, that is proportionate rather than a shortcoming, and the covered pool is a practical advantage given Abu Dhabi's climate.

# The immediate neighbourhood and connections

The Masdar Phase 2 Retail Plaza sits 0.6 kilometres away, making it the closest practical amenity for day-to-day needs. Masdar City Central Park is 1.5 kilometres from the building. Blossom Masdar, a nursery school, is within one kilometre, which matters for families with young children.

Al Zeina Beach on Al Raha is about 7.2 kilometres distant. Abu Dhabi International Airport, at 3.7 kilometres, is close enough to be a genuine convenience for frequent travellers, though its proximity may affect ambient noise levels depending on flight paths.

# Who this building suits, and where it stands in the market

Al Mahra Residence is a completed asset in a district that attracts a specific kind of buyer: those drawn to Abu Dhabi's sustainability agenda, proximity to the airport, or the Masdar City ecosystem of research institutions and tech-focused tenants. The combination of large two-bedroom floor plates, a finished building and a sub-AED 2.4 million ceiling makes the price-per-square-foot argument reasonably straightforward to model.

It is not a building for buyers seeking a dense amenity stack or a brand-name address. It suits an investor looking at occupier demand from the Masdar City tenant pool, or an owner-occupier who wants a quiet, low-density building with easy airport access and no construction risk.
