Fahid Island Property Types and Sizes
Property on Fahid Island will include apartments, duplexes, townhouses, penthouses and villas introduced through multiple residential projects. The developments launched so far are predominantly apartment-led, with options ranging from studios to five-bedroom penthouses, alongside a limited number of townhouse-style residences.
Property sizes vary considerably between projects and layouts, so there is no single size range that applies across the island. The sections below distinguish between the apartments currently available and the townhouse and villa residences included within the wider Fahid Island master plan.

Amenities and Lifestyle
Fahid Island is planned as a complete waterfront community, with beaches, landscaped parks, active travel routes and lifestyle destinations integrated across the island. The wider amenity offering is designed around access to the coastline, outdoor recreation and neighbourhood spaces rather than the facilities of any single residential building.

Berm Park
A landscaped green corridor incorporating a 10 km running loop.
Waterfront Promenade
A 2 km destination planned around dining, retail and public spaces.

Design and Architecture
Aldar has appointed Kengo Kuma, Koichi Takada, ACME and NAGA Architects to shape the residential architecture of Fahid Island. Kengo Kuma and Koichi Takada are each responsible for separate residential concepts, while ACME and NAGA Architects are designing further developments planned across the island.
Rather than applying a single architectural style across the entire community, Fahid Island will feature a collection of distinct residential concepts. Together, these developments will contribute to the island’s wider emphasis on coastal living, landscaped surroundings and access to the waterfront.

Strategic Island Location
Positioned between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island.
Aldar Master Development
One developer overseeing the wider community and infrastructure.
Phased Project Releases
Multiple developments introduced across different price points and property types.
Long-Term Build-Out
Future value will depend on infrastructure delivery, community maturity and market demand.
Investment Potential
Fahid Island’s investment appeal is tied to its position between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, Aldar’s control of the wider master development and the limited supply of new waterfront land in Abu Dhabi. The phased release of individual projects also creates different entry points across apartments, duplexes, penthouses and future villa developments.
Long-term performance will depend on the delivery of the wider island, the quality of each individual project and how future supply is absorbed. Buyers should therefore compare pricing, payment plans, completion dates and location within the master plan rather than treating every Fahid Island property as the same investment.
