Leading Abu Dhabi developer Aldar Properties has announced the launch of Saadiyat Lagoons, a nature-inspired residential community surrounded by stunning mangroves and overlooking the Arabian Gulf. 
 
The new development, located on the east side of Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Island, is available exclusively for UAE national buyers, said Aldar in a statement.
 
Unveiling the new project, Aldar said the construction of Saadiyat Lagoons is due to begin in Q2 2023, with handovers expected to commence in early Q2 2026. 
 
The first phase of the integrated development will see 207 villas released on November 3, with prices starting from AED 6.1 million ($1.6 million). Properties are available in four-, five- and six-bedroom layouts, offering buyers a wide choice of villa living in a unique setting. 
 
According to Aldar, the community has been designed with a series of residential clusters in three zones and each zone will feature homes with distinct architectural styles catering to the tastes of the Abu Dhabi developer's local customer base.
 
The community will feature a range of exciting amenities including an eco-corniche, amphitheatre, dry deck water play area, skate park, paddle, basketball, and volleyball courts, climbing wall, playgrounds and ample green spaces and parks. 
 
Within the community, residents will also have access to schools and early learning centres, retail and F&B outlets, a health clinic, petrol stations, a multi-purpose event venue, barbeque and picnic areas, mosques and three majalises, it stated.
 
On the launch, Chief Commercial Officer Rashed Al Omaira said: “Saadiyat Lagoons is located on one of the most desirable pieces of land in Abu Dhabi, which makes it an incredibly exciting proposition. Each aspect of the development has been carefully planned in response to the changing needs of our customers, including the amenities, sustainable design, and options for home customisation."
 
"Once completed, the community will boost Saadiyat Island’s position as a fully developed residential, cultural, and leisure destination and we expect to see strong demand amongst UAE nationals," he noted.
 
With a full suite of cultural, recreational, and leisure amenities on Saadiyat Island and the adjacent Yas Island, customers will be able to enjoy all the islands have to offer, including luxury beach resorts, cultural destinations, and top educational institutes such as Cranleigh School and New York University, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
