Riviera Residences 2 by MERED is a waterfront residential development on Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi, with architecture by Herzog & de Meuron. A ground floor and 34 upper floors rise above landscaped spaces beside the water. The mother-of-pearl facade treatment draws on the Emirates' pearl-diving heritage. Completion is scheduled for Q2 2030.
One-bedroom apartments provide the entry point at AED 2,200,000 ($599,000), with total areas from 877 sqft (81.5 m²). The two-bedroom format begins at 1,195 sqft (111 m²) and AED 2,900,000 ($789,700). In the one-bedroom Type 04, the entrance hall leads to a guest powder room and an open kitchen, living and dining area, while the bedroom has its own bathroom. The balcony sits alongside the living room.
Three-bedroom apartments start at AED 4,500,000 ($1,225,300), with areas from 2,066 sqft (191.9 m²). Type 22 has a laundry, guest powder room, bathrooms serving the bedrooms and two balconies. Its living and dining room opens towards the water-facing edge of the building. The two-bedroom Type 10 takes a different approach, placing the main living space between the bedrooms and providing two bathrooms and a separate guest toilet.
Two indoor fitness areas and an outdoor gym are planned alongside crossfit and yoga spaces. A padel court and sports pool provide further training options, with a sauna, steam room, cold plunge and mist shower for use afterwards. Gardens and quieter outdoor retreat areas sit within the same sports and wellness part of the development.
Two adult pools have sun loungers and outdoor seating nearby. Sunken lounges, fireplace seating and an indoor lounge bar provide places to meet away from the apartment. Landscape design by Michel Desvigne Paysagiste connects these outdoor areas, while broad glazing and angled balconies define the residential elevations above them.
The family club includes a children's pool, an outdoor playground with table tennis and an indoor playroom. An event hall with cinema, a cafeteria with a show kitchen and outdoor dining areas accommodate shared meals and gatherings. A business lounge provides a separate place to work. The waterfront promenade adds cafes, restaurants, terraces and boutique retail to the development.

Property Location
is Al Reem Island
Al Reem Island combines high-rise housing with waterfront paths and established everyday services. Bridges connect it with mainland Abu Dhabi, and neighbouring Al Maryah Island contains offices, hotels and medical facilities. Road connections also reach Saadiyat Island and the Corniche, placing the development within the capital's existing network of residential and employment districts.
Reem Mall brings shopping, restaurants and indoor leisure to the island, including Snow Abu Dhabi. Shams BOUTIK serves shorter trips for groceries and casual dining, while Carrefour, Waitrose and Zoom operate in the wider district. Across the water, The Galleria on Al Maryah Island offers another retail and restaurant destination with a waterfront setting.
Repton provides British-curriculum schooling, and Sorbonne University has its campus on Al Reem Island. Hummingbird is among the nursery options. The island also has clinics, dental practices and pharmacies for routine needs. Cleveland Clinic on Al Maryah Island adds a major hospital close to the district, separate from the residential development.
Reem Central Park and the island's waterfront routes offer green space, play areas and places for walking or cycling. These public spaces sit outside the project's own gardens and pools. Saadiyat Island adds beaches and cultural destinations such as Louvre Abu Dhabi, while the Corniche offers another coastal route for recreation within the city.
Estimated car journeys from Riviera Residences 2 by MERED are around 10 minutes to Reem Mall, Sorbonne University and The Galleria. Louvre Abu Dhabi is approximately 15 minutes away, and Zayed International Airport around 20 minutes away. Journey times vary with traffic and the bridge route used, particularly during commuting hours.
Offices and medical facilities on Al Maryah Island provide nearby workplaces, while schools and shops on Al Reem support households living here throughout the year. For a rental purchase, these are practical reasons to consider the location: a tenant can combine a city commute with established family services. An owner can compare a lower acquisition budget with the additional bedrooms needed by a larger household.

Why Invest in Real Estate
at Al Reem Island?
The 50/50 payment plan requires a 15% down payment, 35% during construction and 50% upon handover. At the entry price, those stages are AED 330,000 ($89,900), AED 770,000 ($209,700) and AED 1,100,000 ($299,500).
Half of the purchase price is therefore paid before completion, with the other half reserved for the final stage. This separates the initial commitment from the larger amount needed when the home is completed.
MERED's group of companies has delivered 40 projects across five global markets, with 25 years of international development experience. That group record gives buyers a delivery history to examine alongside the purchase terms.
For this off-plan acquisition, construction payments need funding before the apartment can be occupied or let, and the balance at completion remains a substantial part of the purchase budget.
