Bab Al Qasr Garden Residence 66

Bab Al Qasr Garden Residence 66 is a furnished residential building by Burtville Developments in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, comprising 240 apartments across two-bedroom, three-bedroom, four-bedroom and five-bedroom configurations, with completion scheduled for Q2 2029.

# The building and its position in Masdar City

Masdar City occupies a deliberate position in the Abu Dhabi metropolitan fabric: a planned district conceived around low-carbon infrastructure, pedestrian-priority streets and shaded public spaces that reduce dependence on air-conditioned transit. The district sits roughly 7 kilometres from Zayed International Airport, placing it at the edge of the capital's growth corridor rather than within its historic centre.

Garden Residence 66 is a single building within this framework. At 240 units, it is mid-scale by Abu Dhabi standards, large enough to support a full amenity programme but compact enough to avoid the anonymity of a 600-unit tower. The Masdar City grid imposes its own architectural discipline: ground-level retail, pedestrian connectivity and a strong relationship between buildings and shared open space. The project sits within that logic rather than against it.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The building offers two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes. Two-bedroom apartments range broadly, with sizes from around 1,060 square feet to 1,455 square feet and prices from AED 2,145,000 to AED 2,545,000. Three-bedroom units extend from approximately 1,419 square feet to 2,923 square feet, priced between AED 2,335,000 and AED 3,135,000. Four-bedroom homes sit largely between 1,808 and 3,798 square feet, with pricing from AED 2,650,000 to AED 3,650,000. Five-bedroom residences reach up to 3,294 square feet, priced from AED 4,035,000 to AED 4,435,000.

All units are delivered fully furnished.

The finish palette draws on dark marble, white marble, timber flooring, wall panelling and wallpaper, with kitchens that arrive fully equipped. Brands cited by the developer include THE One, Roca, Siemens and Samsung. High ceilings feature throughout, and each residence includes private garden or outdoor space.

# Amenities across the building

The amenity stack covers a meaningful range. At the building's upper level, a rooftop indoor pool anchors the leisure offer. The health club incorporates a sauna and spa. There are dedicated facilities for children: both indoor and outdoor play areas, plus kids' pools. Social infrastructure includes an amphitheatre lawn, BBQ area, cabana seating and an indoor lounge. A juice bar and retail shops serve daily needs without requiring residents to leave the plot.

The jogging and reflexology track and the community garden address the district's broader emphasis on outdoor, active living.

Service charges are priced at AED 16 to AED 18 per square foot annually, a range that reflects the depth of the amenity provision.

# Connectivity and the surrounding neighbourhood

Masdar City Central Park sits 0.8 kilometres from the building. My City Centre Masdar, the district's retail anchor, is 0.9 kilometres away. GEMS Founders School Masdar City is 1.5 kilometres out, a relevant figure for family buyers assessing school proximity on foot or by cycle.

Al Zeina Beach on Al Raha is six kilometres from the site, accessible by car. Zayed International Airport, at 7.1 kilometres, is the most significant logistical asset: Abu Dhabi's main international hub is effectively a short drive, and the airport's ongoing capacity expansion reinforces the district's long-term connectivity.

# Who this building suits and where it sits in the market

Garden Residence 66 is positioned for buyers who want Abu Dhabi exposure at a price point below the capital's premium waterfront stock. A two-bedroom furnished apartment at AED 2.1 million to AED 2.5 million in a planned, low-density district 7 kilometres from the airport presents a different calculus from a comparable unit in Saadiyat or Al Raha Beach, where land values carry a steeper premium.

The full-furnishing package reduces friction for international buyers purchasing remotely or for yield-focused investors who intend to let from handover. The Q2 2029 completion gives buyers a four-year off-plan runway. The current sell-out status indicates that the market has already moved through the available inventory, so secondary-market monitoring or developer release tracking becomes the relevant next step for interested parties.

Masdar City's identity as a sustainability-focused, walkable district appeals specifically to buyers from Northern Europe and Asia who place weight on urban planning credentials alongside property fundamentals.
