Branded residences and the Vista towers in Abu Dhabi's financial district, measured against every registered home sale since the first in January 2025.
Apartments only, priced by size.
Every home sale on Al Maryah is an apartment or duplex. The registry has them only from January 2025: the Vista towers, then branded residences by Four Seasons, W, St. Regis and Jumeirah. Prices are on the sold area, by bedroom count.

Source: XIS analysis of ADREC registered Al Maryah Island apartment sales, whole units, apartments, duplexes and penthouses, 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026. Price per sq ft is on the sold area. Sizes and projects are shown when they have at least 20 and 10 sales; projects are named as the registry records them. Sales with no recorded size are not included.
Branded towers at the top of Abu Dhabi, Vista studios at a third of the price.
The island-wide median hides two different markets. Branded residences by Four Seasons, St. Regis, Jumeirah and W sell at the top of Abu Dhabi; the Vista towers, mostly studios, sell at a fraction of that. We compare them separately, and do not chart a single island line.
| Towers | Median price | Median AED per sq ft | Sales, 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Branded: Four Seasons, St. Regis, Jumeirah, W | AED 8.3M | 4,365 | 241 |
| Vista 1 and Vista 2 | AED 0.8M | 1,608 | 307 |

Three things every Al Maryah buyer should know
From registered transactions to 30 September 2026.
4,365AED per sq ft, branded towers
Apartments in the four branded towers sold at a median AED 4,365 per sq ft over the last year, 241 sales at a median AED 8.3 million: above Fahid and Saadiyat. Four Seasons was the highest, at a median AED 5,047.
+41%Vista 1 studios, resale against launch
In Vista 1, 127 studio resales went through at a median AED 1,950 per sq ft, against AED 1,386 across 235 studios the developer sold, as the tower was completed in 2025. Same tower, same size; the resales came later, so this is a step at completion, not a yearly rate.
537+apartments sold off-plan
At least 537 apartments sold off-plan since 2025 sit in towers with no completed sale registered yet: Vista 2, St. Regis, W, Jumeirah and Reportage Tower. This measures homes sold, not a handover schedule.
The financial district, with homes beside it.
Al Maryah Island sits between downtown Abu Dhabi and Al Reem Island, joined to both by bridges. It is home to Abu Dhabi Global Market, The Galleria and Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, and its new residential towers are mostly branded by hotel groups.
Al Maryah Island is one of Abu Dhabi's investment zones, where buyers of every nationality can own apartments freehold. Confirm eligibility on the sales agreement before you pay.
Vista 1 and Four Seasons are complete: 181 sales of completed apartments were registered in the last 12 months. Other towers are sold off-plan; check each handover date in the sales agreement.

Questions buyers ask about Al Maryah
Yes. Al Maryah Island is one of Abu Dhabi's investment zones, where buyers of every nationality can own apartments freehold. Confirm eligibility on the sales agreement before you pay.
It depends on the tower. In the 12 months to 30 September 2026, apartments in the branded towers (Four Seasons, St. Regis, Jumeirah and W) sold at a median AED 8.3 million, about AED 4,370 per sq ft. In the Vista towers, mostly studios, the median was AED 0.8 million, about AED 1,610 per sq ft. Across all 575 sales the median was AED 2,150 per sq ft.
Over the same 12 months, studios had a median price of AED 0.7 million, one-bedrooms AED 4.7 million, two-bedrooms AED 8.2 million and three-bedrooms AED 12.3 million. Most studios are in the Vista towers; most larger apartments are in the branded towers, which is why the price jumps between studios and one-bedrooms.
It can be, but judge it tower by tower. In Vista 1, studios resold at a median AED 1,950 per sq ft against AED 1,386 when the developer sold them, about 41% higher, as the tower was completed. The branded towers sell at the highest apartment prices in Abu Dhabi and have almost no resale record yet. Home sales on the island were first registered in 2025, so there is no long-term growth figure.
We do not publish rent or yield figures for Al Maryah yet. Completed apartments in Vista 1 and Four Seasons are now changing hands, so ask us for current rent comparables for the tower you are considering.
Because that is when the registry first records home sales on Al Maryah Island. Earlier residential towers on the island do not appear in the registered sales data, so this page covers the towers sold since January 2025.
Property worth AED 2 million or more can qualify for the 10-year Golden Visa. What counts is your own money in the property: a mortgage can only cover the value above AED 2 million, and for off-plan property at least AED 2 million must already be paid to the developer. On Al Maryah over the last year, 47% of apartment sales were at AED 2 million or more, almost all in the branded towers. Confirm your eligibility with the authorities before you buy.
Yes. The Ritz-Carlton Residences by SAAS Properties offers 165 homes beside Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, from 1-bedroom residences from AED 3.95 million to duplexes and a penthouse, on a 40/60 payment plan. Handover is estimated in Q1 2030.
