Reem Five

Reem Five is a completed residential building on Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, developed by SAAS Properties and handed over in March 2022. Unfurnished apartments sit within a single tower, positioned along one of Abu Dhabi's most established island addresses, with service charges running at 14 to 16 AED per square foot.

# The tower and its setting on Reem Island

Reem Island has spent the better part of two decades consolidating its position as Abu Dhabi's primary urban residential address outside the city's historic centre. Reem Five occupies that context deliberately, its coral-toned facade reading as considered rather than assertive against a skyline that includes some of the emirate's denser residential clusters.

The building's orientation is a practical asset. Views face toward Abu Dhabi's mangrove coast, a stretch of protected natural landscape that provides an unusual counterpoint to the surrounding built environment. That outlook carries through from the lobby, where natural light and timber accents set a register that the interiors sustain across all floors.

# Residences, specification and interior character

The apartments are delivered unfurnished, which suits buyers who prefer to impose their own specification on a shell that already carries considerable finish quality. Interiors use parquet flooring through living areas, travertine stone in the kitchen corridors, and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, including in the bedrooms.

Kitchens are equipped and designed around a half-wall arrangement that opens the cooking space toward the living area. Cabinetry combines wood and glass display elements.

Bathrooms are among the more considered details in the building. Brown marble walls, light marble floors, and white marble tops sit alongside a water filtration system, separate bath and shower enclosure, and smart sensor lighting built into the mirror surrounds. The finish is residential rather than hotel-derived, which tends to age better.

# Amenities within the building

The amenities list is concise: a rooftop pool with a dedicated relaxation area, shared leisure spaces on the communal floors, and a 24-hour concierge staffed from the lobby reception.

This is a building that prioritises quality of finish over volume of facilities. Buyers drawn to extensive health club or F&B amenities within the podium will need to look elsewhere. Those content with a well-specified pool deck and attentive front-of-house will find the offer appropriate to the building's scale.

# What sits within reach of Reem Five

Repton School's Rose Campus is 0.6 kilometres from the building, a proximity that carries real weight for families with school-age children. Reem Central Park sits at the same distance, giving residents direct access to open green space on foot.

Shams Boutik, a neighbourhood retail and dining strip, is 1.6 kilometres away. The eastern section of the Shams coast is reachable within 2.4 kilometres. Abu Dhabi City Terminal, the main intercity bus hub with connections to Dubai, sits roughly 5 kilometres from the tower.

# Who Reem Five suits in the current Abu Dhabi market

Abu Dhabi's residential market has tightened considerably since Reem Five's completion in 2022, with Reem Island seeing sustained demand from both end-users and investors attracted by the island's school catchment, green infrastructure, and relative walkability by Gulf city standards.

Reem Five suits the buyer who has already filtered out novelty in favour of a delivered, occupied building with a traceable service-charge history and verifiable finish quality. The unfurnished specification appeals to buyers arriving with their own furniture, or investors targeting the professional expatriate tenant market, where unfurnished product at this finish level commands a straightforward premium over older Reem Island stock.
