Sunstone

Sunstone is a 30-unit residential building on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, developed by IMKAN Properties and currently under construction. Priced from AED 2.64 million, it offers two, three and four-bedroom residences with coastline proximity and a compact, boutique scale that distinguishes it from the larger towers that define much of the island's skyline.

# The building and its position on Al Reem Island

Al Reem Island sits roughly 600 metres off Abu Dhabi's mainland, northeast of the city centre, and has spent the past decade becoming one of the emirate's most active freehold residential addresses. The area clusters with Saadiyat Island and Al Maryah Island to form a belt of modern urban development that holds the bulk of Abu Dhabi's international residential investment.

Sunstone occupies a single building within this context. Thirty units across one structure means the project reads as genuinely intimate by the standards of a district where large-scale towers are the norm. IMKAN Properties, an Abu Dhabi-based developer with a track record across the UAE and North Africa, has positioned the building around a coastline-adjacent setting, giving most residences meaningful proximity to the water without the anonymity of a large complex.

The architecture draws on the contemporary vocabulary that dominates Al Reem, prioritising clean geometry and considered massing over ornament.

# Residences, layouts and interior specification

The two-bedroom apartments form the core of the inventory. Sizes within that category range from approximately 1,539 sq ft to just over 2,755 sq ft, a spread wide enough that the upper end of the two-bedroom range competes comfortably with smaller three-bedroom products elsewhere on the island. Prices for two-bedroom units run from AED 2.64 million to AED 3.58 million, depending on floor, orientation and configuration.

Four-bedroom residences occupy the upper end of the scheme, spanning 3,137 sq ft to 3,939 sq ft and priced between AED 6.70 million and AED 7.20 million. A single three-bedroom unit of 4,165 sq ft sits at AED 7.48 million, representing the largest and most expensive single residence in the building.

Homes are delivered with kitchens fitted out as standard. The remainder of the interior arrives unfurnished, which suits buyers who prefer to appoint their own spaces rather than inherit a developer's furniture package. Service charges are fixed at AED 14 per sq ft annually.

# Facilities within the development

The amenity programme is focused rather than exhaustive, which suits a 30-unit building. A pool deck provides the primary outdoor social space, supported by coastline access that extends the usable outdoor environment beyond the building's own footprint.

# Wellness and recreation

The gym is described by IMKAN as a full fitness facility. A multipurpose room adds flexibility for residents who use communal spaces for activities beyond the gym floor, and a dedicated entertainment hub rounds out the indoor provision. The suite covers the essentials without the operational overhead of a larger resort-style complex, which typically translates to more manageable service charges for owners.

# Al Reem Island: connectivity and urban infrastructure

Al Reem Island functions as a mixed-use district rather than a purely residential enclave. Commercial centres, banks, parks and sports facilities are distributed across the island, reducing reliance on the mainland for day-to-day requirements. The connection to central Abu Dhabi is direct, and proximity to both Saadiyat Island, home to major cultural institutions, and Al Maryah Island, the emirate's financial and retail hub, adds practical weight to the address.

For international buyers, Al Reem's status as one of Abu Dhabi's first designated freehold zones remains relevant. The legal framework for foreign ownership is established and tested.

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

A building of 30 units appeals to buyers who find value in a smaller owner community: lower transient population, greater continuity among neighbours, and a building that does not operate at the scale of a small hotel.

The pricing, AED 2.64 million to AED 7.48 million, places Sunstone within reach of the mid-to-upper segment of Abu Dhabi's freehold residential market without crossing into the ultra-prime territory where Al Reem rarely competes. For GCC buyers seeking a pied-à-terre with coastal proximity, or for European and Asian investors looking at Abu Dhabi as a complement to a Dubai holding, the combination of floor sizes, boutique scale and IMKAN's development profile gives the project a defensible position. The unfurnished delivery also leaves latitude for buyers who intend to let the units, since specification choices remain their own.
