Rivage

Rivage is a residential tower by Deyaar, located on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, offering apartments and sky-level residences across a single building, with handover scheduled for Q4 2027.

# The tower and its position on Al Reem Island

Al Reem Island sits just off the northeastern coast of Abu Dhabi's main island, and over the past decade it has consolidated its identity as the city's most active address for high-rise residential development. The area draws a mix of professionals, families and internationally mobile buyers who want urban infrastructure without the density of the CBD.

Rivage occupies this context with architecture that borrows its formal language from the mangrove coastline nearby. The facade combines angular, sculpted surfaces with a profile designed to read as a waterfront landmark rather than a generic residential slab. Floor-to-ceiling glazing runs consistently across the elevations, orienting the building's interior life toward the sea.

Construction is under way, with practical completion expected in the final quarter of 2027.

# Residences, scale and specification

The two available configurations run from generous to expansive. A two-bedroom apartment measures 3,023 sq ft, priced at AED 3,267,527. The four-bedroom residence extends to 7,047 sq ft at AED 13,800,000. Both figures reflect units currently listed; the broader project includes additional bedroom categories across duplexes and sky villa formats.

Interiors carry high-end finishes throughout, with full-size windows and balconies forming a consistent feature across unit types. Kitchens are equipped. Smart-home integration covers access, lighting and climate control, and the building incorporates energy-efficient air conditioning, LED lighting and advanced air filtration. Service charges run at 17 to 18 AED per sq ft annually.

At 3,023 sq ft, the two-bedroom unit is notably large for its category. The scale is closer to a townhouse than a conventional apartment, which shapes how the floorplate can be used by families or buyers who want a pied-à-terre without compromise.

# Amenities across the building

The amenity programme is arranged across social, wellness and outdoor categories.

# Pool and outdoor leisure

Two distinct pool environments serve different residents: the Horizon Pool for adults, the Family Pool for mixed use. An Aqua Fit area, outdoor cinema, event lawn, BBQ area and Sky Terrace extend the outdoor provision further.

# Wellness and social

Inside, the gym, yoga area and spa address the health brief. The Horizon Lounge, Family Lounge, Cigar Lounge and a Kids Play Area cover the social spectrum from quiet adult use to family gathering. The breadth of the programme is calibrated toward permanent residents rather than short-term occupiers.

# Location: Reem Island connections and travel distances

Repton School Abu Dhabi sits 0.5 km from the building, which is a material consideration for families with school-age children. Shams Coast East is 1.4 km away, Shams Boutik retail at 2.1 km, and the Waterfront Walk at the City of Lights district is 2.5 km. Zayed International Airport is 32.9 km, manageable by car given Abu Dhabi's road infrastructure, though not a short commute for frequent flyers.

The positioning on Reem Island means residents have direct access to the waterfront promenade network while remaining within a short drive of Abu Dhabi's central business and cultural districts.

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

Rivage addresses a specific buyer: someone who wants a large, finished apartment in Abu Dhabi with a clear waterfront orientation, managed by a known developer, and who is not in a hurry to take possession before late 2027. The two-bedroom unit at over 3,000 sq ft appeals to buyers who find most apartment stock too compressed. The four-bedroom at 7,047 sq ft competes with villa-scale living.

Deyaar is a publicly listed developer on the Dubai Financial Market, which provides a level of corporate transparency that privately held developers cannot match. For international buyers conducting due diligence from London, Geneva or Singapore, that structure matters.

The service charge range of 17 to 18 AED per sq ft sits at the higher end of Abu Dhabi norms, consistent with a building that maintains a full amenity deck and managed common areas. Buyers should factor that into yield calculations if the purchase is investment-led rather than owner-occupier.
