What is actually being sold.
The published mix runs from a one-bedroom of just over a thousand square feet to penthouses more than twelve times that size. Prices are the developer’s entry price per type — the smallest unit in that band.
| Type | Size | From | Implied AED/sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| One bedroom | 1,062 – 1,594 sq ft | AED 4,700,000 | 4,426 |
| Two bedroom | 1,809 – 2,396 sq ft | AED 7,900,000 | 4,367 |
| Three bedroom | 2,896 – 3,401 sq ft | AED 13,000,000 | 4,489 |
| Four bedroom | 4,246 – 4,484 sq ft | On application | — |
| Penthouse | 12,526 – 14,040 sq ft | On application | — |
Sizes and entry prices as published by the developer’s listing. The right-hand column is ours: the entry price divided by the smallest size in that band. It is arithmetic on their numbers, not a valuation.
Ten now, forty while it rises, fifty at the keys.
Most of the money falls at the end. That is unusually buyer-friendly for a build this long — but it also means the bulk of your exposure lands in 2030, on a price agreed in 2026.
Bars are drawn to scale. Amounts shown against the AED 4.7M entry price.

This island is its own legal jurisdiction.
The detail almost every listing leaves out: Al Maryah Island is inside Abu Dhabi Global Market. That changes who registers your purchase, whose law governs it, and which court hears it if something goes wrong.
ADGM, not the mainland
Al Maryah and Al Reem Islands sit inside ADGM. The ADGM Registration Authority handles registration of real property interests — including off-plan registration and escrow account services — through its AccessRP platform under the ADGM Real Property Regulations. ADGM is an independent jurisdiction applying English common law directly. It is integrated with ADREC's Madhmoun system for cross-verifying listings, but runs its own permit process.
What escrow does, generally
Across Abu Dhabi, off-plan buyer payments go into a project-specific escrow account rather than to the developer directly. Money is released against construction milestones certified by approved engineering consultants, and the 2025 reforms added controls on withdrawals before a project reaches 20% completion. The framework is Abu Dhabi Law No. 3 of 2015 as reinforced by Law No. 2 of 2025, administered on the mainland by DMT through ADREC.
Which regime governs this specific project is a question for the SPA, not for a web page. It is first on our list below.
Open items — what we have not verified
- Handover date. The developer's listing says December 2030. Press coverage of the January 2026 launch says 2031. We have asked which is contractual.
- Unit count. 253 residences is stated by launch coverage; one aggregator says 153. We use 253.
- Bedroom mix. Launch coverage says one to five bedrooms; the developer's own listing also shows six-bedroom penthouses.
- Escrow regime. Whether ADGM or mainland DMT governs this specific project, and which bank holds the account.
- Delay provisions. The grace period and compensation clauses in the SPA — unknown to us, and the single most important page of the contract.
- Floor count and unit inventory. No live availability feed has been released to brokers.
- Costs beyond the price and the 2% government fee — agency, mortgage, service charge, ADGM registration — are unconfirmed for this project.
The developer prices flat across the building.
Divide each entry price by its smallest floor area and the three published bands land within 3% of each other. That is a deliberate pricing sheet, not a coincidence — you are not being offered a cheaper way in by buying larger.
Derived by NOOMA from the developer’s published entry prices and minimum sizes. Actual per-unit pricing will vary by floor, aspect and view.
We would normally put verified transactions for the island beside these figures, so you could judge the premium yourself. We are not doing that here: Dubai RERA/DLD rules do not apply here, and there is no ADREC transaction feed for this island — which is why comparable transactions are left blank below rather than filled with something we cannot source. A number we cannot source is worth less than an empty box. This fills in the moment the feed does.
What can still be built here.
The question every off-plan buyer has and nobody answers: what goes up next door once you’ve moved in?
We read this from the Dubai Development Authority’s plot register, which covers the areas under its planning authority — Dubai Harbour, Business Bay, Downtown, the Marina, Internet and Media City, Design District. Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi sits outside it, so we have nothing to show rather than something to guess. Ask us and we will put the question to the master developer in writing.
A financial centre you can walk across.
Al Maryah is Abu Dhabi’s financial district and the seat of ADGM. The tower sits beside The Galleria, which means the shortest walk from your lobby is to a mall, not to a car park.

We have deliberately not printed drive times. Every listing site quotes them and none of them measured anything.
