Bloom Living 3 - Casares

Bloom Living 3, known as Casares, is the third phase of Bloom Holding's large-scale Mediterranean-inspired master community in Zayed City, Abu Dhabi. The phase comprises townhouses within a gated setting, with a completion target of Q1 2026 and construction currently 44 per cent advanced.

# The master community and how Casares sits within it

Bloom Living is conceived as a self-contained urban district rather than a conventional residential cluster. Its organising logic is a central lake, from which landscaped pathways radiate outward to connect the various residential phases, communal facilities and a town centre. The Mediterranean architectural vocabulary, used across the wider development, draws on pitched rooflines, textured facades and courtyard-adjacent planning rather than the tower typology that dominates much of the Abu Dhabi and Dubai markets.

Casares occupies its own distinct cluster within this framework. Each residential phase in Bloom Living is designed around a dedicated community centre, so Casares residents have access to facilities that serve their immediate neighbourhood as well as those shared across the broader master plan. The result is a layered community structure: immediate, walkable amenity at the cluster level, and a larger town centre offer for retail and dining.

# Townhouse specification and finish

The residences in Casares are unfurnished townhouses, finished with what the developer describes as modern materials and equipped kitchens. Specific floor plan configurations, unit counts and square footage ranges are not publicly disclosed at this stage of the project's availability; the phase is currently listed as out of stock.

A service charge of 4.5 AED per square foot applies across the community.

# Shared amenities across the Bloom Living estate

The amenity offer is broad for a mid-rise townhouse community. Within reach of Casares residents are two swimming pools, a wellness centre, a sports club, a dedicated play area, barbeque zones and a community clubhouse. Cycling tracks and walking pathways thread through the development, connecting residential clusters to one another and to the town centre plaza.

That central plaza anchors the retail and food-and-beverage component of the scheme, providing a walkable alternative to driving for everyday needs. It is an amenity proposition built around daily use rather than occasional resort-style events.

# Zayed City: position and practical connections

Zayed City sits in the corridor between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, a stretch of the emirate that has attracted substantial infrastructure investment over the past decade. For Casares residents, Raha International School lies approximately 8.7 kilometres away and The Medical Mall 6.6 kilometres. Abu Dhabi International Airport is 14.2 kilometres from the site, relevant for buyers who travel frequently or whose professional lives span multiple cities in the Gulf. Lou Lou Beach, at 14.8 kilometres, is the closest coastal option.

Sheikh Lou Park, around 8.6 kilometres distant, adds green recreational space beyond what the development itself provides.

# Who this project suits and where it stands in the Abu Dhabi market

Casares is positioned for buyers who prioritise structured community living over proximity to a city's commercial core. The gated format, the cycling and walking infrastructure, the multi-generational amenity mix and the school within reach make it a legible choice for families relocating from European or GCC cities accustomed to planned residential neighbourhoods.

At 4.5 AED per square foot in service charges, the carrying costs are moderate for a freehold community of this specification in Abu Dhabi. For international buyers assessing the Abu Dhabi market as a longer-term hold, Zayed City's position along a well-connected growth corridor adds a planning rationale that neighbourhoods closer to the traditional Abu Dhabi waterfront do not always offer. The phase is fully subscribed, which signals demand but limits immediate entry for buyers arriving without prior reservation.
