Mamsha Gardens

Mamsha Gardens is a furnished residential development by ALDAR on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi, comprising a single building of 25 residences and scheduled for completion in Q2 2028.

# The building and its position on Saadiyat Island

Saadiyat Island has spent two decades accumulating the kind of infrastructure that tends to follow wealth rather than precede it: the Louvre Abu Dhabi opened in 2017, beach clubs and golf courses followed, and a series of destination museums remains in the pipeline. Mamsha Gardens sits within this cultural quarter, positioned around 500 metres from Mamsha Beach, where the island's shoreline functions as both amenity and address.

The development is modest in scale by Abu Dhabi standards. Twenty-five residences across a single building gives it the density of a private house collection rather than a conventional tower. ALDAR, Abu Dhabi's largest listed developer, brings the institutional weight of a balance sheet that has delivered projects at this price point before.

Construction is under way, with completion progress recorded at 2.2 per cent as of the latest reported figures.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The range spans one-bedroom to three-bedroom apartments. The sole one-bedroom unit sits at 1,066 sq ft, priced at AED 3,100,000. Two-bedroom residences cover considerably more ground, ranging from 1,964 sq ft to 3,273 sq ft, with prices from AED 7,193,903 to AED 11,765,700 depending on the specific unit. Three-bedrooms run from 2,559 sq ft to 4,124 sq ft, priced between AED 8,232,700 and AED 12,782,100.

The spread within the two-bedroom and three-bedroom tiers is wide enough to suggest meaningful variation in layout and floor position rather than a single repeating floor plate. All residences are delivered furnished. Service charges are fixed at AED 36 per sq ft.

# Amenities across the building

The amenity programme covers a full range of resident uses. There are separate adult and children's swimming pools, a gym, meditation spaces, and a kids club with outdoor play areas. A co-working space and cinema address both productivity and leisure. Roof gardens complete the upper-level offering.

The list is coherent for a building of this scale. Nothing is over-specified or implausible for 25 residences.

# Proximity to the island's key points

Mamsha Beach is roughly 500 metres away, a walkable distance that sets the tone for daily life. Cranleigh Abu Dhabi, the British curriculum school, is 2.1 km from the development, a practical consideration for families relocating from the UK or Europe. Zayed International Airport sits 31.6 km out, which places most international connections within a 30-to-35-minute drive under normal traffic conditions.

Heritage Park and Mina Centre are both under 9 km away, accessible by car in a short commute across the island's road network.

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

The pricing at Mamsha Gardens occupies a specific band within Saadiyat's residential offer. At AED 3.1 million for the one-bedroom and up to AED 12.78 million for the largest three-bedroom unit, it sits above entry-level island stock but below the trophy villa market that has drawn significant international capital over the past three years.

The furnished specification removes a practical barrier for buyers acquiring from abroad, particularly those in the UK, continental Europe, or Asia who intend to use the property seasonally before deciding whether to convert it to a primary residence. The small unit count means owner density will be high and transient occupancy comparatively low, which matters to buyers prioritising privacy over yield.

ALDAR's reputation for delivery and the island's continued cultural investment make Mamsha Gardens a coherent choice for buyers who want Saadiyat's location without the scale of a larger community.
