Nouran Living

Nouran Living is a residential building by Abu Dhabi developer Aldar, situated on Saadiyat Island and scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2027. The project offers apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom layouts, with kitchens fitted as standard and a service charge set at 18.55 AED per square foot.

# The building and its position on Saadiyat Island

Saadiyat Island sits roughly ten kilometres from central Abu Dhabi, connected to the mainland by a pair of causeways and governed by a planning framework that has, over the past decade, kept it deliberately low-density. Aldar is the emirate's most prominent listed developer, responsible for much of the island's residential supply, and Nouran Living represents its latest addition to the area's growing residential stock.

The building is a single structure, its architecture oriented around the idea of shared space rather than private isolation. The design language is contemporary without being severe, favouring clean lines and considered proportions over spectacle.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The range runs from studios through to three-bedroom apartments, covering a spectrum broad enough to suit both single occupants and families. Kitchens come fitted as standard. Buyers can choose between a light scheme and a dark scheme for interior finishes, which gives some scope for personalisation without requiring a full interior specification process.

White goods are included.

No further size or pricing data is publicly available at this stage, given that the project is currently out of stock.

# Amenities and communal facilities

The amenity offering covers both active and passive uses. For fitness, there is an indoor and outdoor gym alongside a padel court. The swimming pool and a dedicated chill zone sit at the more relaxed end of the spectrum.

Families are catered for through indoor and outdoor children's play areas. A cinema and a multipurpose room round out the social infrastructure, while a cinema adds an entertainment dimension that is still relatively uncommon in mid-market island residential buildings.

# Saadiyat Island: the cultural and physical context

Saadiyat Island carries a different character from Dubai's better-known residential districts. The Louvre Abu Dhabi is located here, and the broader Cultural District continues to attract institutional investment in museums and public space. Pristine beaches run along much of the island's northern edge. The combination of cultural programming, beach access and contained scale gives Saadiyat a quieter register than, say, Dubai Marina or Downtown.

For international buyers accustomed to European island or coastal living, that register tends to resonate.

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

Aldar's reputation and the Saadiyat address position Nouran Living above the generic mid-market but below the ultra-luxury tier that commands the island's most prominent waterfront plots. The included white goods, dual finish palettes and fitted kitchens point to a buyer who wants a functional, move-in-ready residence rather than a blank canvas for bespoke fit-out.

The service charge of 18.55 AED per square foot is a concrete figure worth factoring into long-term yield calculations, particularly for investors sizing up the Abu Dhabi rental market against comparable Dubai alternatives. Completion in Q4 2027 places it in a delivery window that aligns with continued infrastructure investment across Saadiyat, which historically has supported capital values in the area.
