Al Reem Island is a sought-after island district in Abu Dhabi. It is conveniently located approximately 600 metres from the emirate's north-eastern coast. The area is connected to the mainland by several modern high-speed bridges. Due to the well-thought-out transport network, it takes only 10-15 minutes to get to the capital's business centre, as well as to the Saadiyat Cultural District and Yas Island with their cultural and entertainment venues. The transfer to Zayed International Airport takes about 20-30 minutes.

From the outset, the island has been developed as a mixed-use district with high-rise residential towers, waterfronts, office centres and retail clusters. As a result, property on Al Reem Island is the choice of those who value beautiful sea vistas and urban comforts. The area's popularity is further enhanced by its incorporation into the jurisdiction of the ADGM. In 2023, its sphere of influence was expanded from Al Maryah Island to Al Reem Island. Today, the number of local and international companies operating here is growing rapidly, thus creating a world-class legal and business environment. This boosts the island's status within the emirate and sets a long-term development vector for it as one of Abu Dhabi's key financial and business clusters.

At the centre of the site is Reem Mall, a large retail and entertainment hub with over 400 shops, restaurants and family areas. It is home to the famous Snow Abu Dhabi, an indoor snow park. Other popular shopping destinations within a short drive are Boutik Mall and The Galleria on Al Maryah Island. The educational and medical infrastructure on Al Reem Island is on par with the central areas of the capital. The island is home to the Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi campus, with international schools and nurseries catering to the expat community located nearby. The Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi on Al Maryah Island is just a few minutes' drive away.

Coastal property in Abu Dhabi is increasingly considered through the prism of Al Reem Island — the area perfectly combines business activity, cultural and leisure opportunities, and modern residential housing surrounded by beaches and parks. Purchasing an apartment on the island lets you live almost in the city centre without sacrificing privacy and walks by the water. And for investors, Al Reem Island is a place with steady demand from long-term tenants.

Property at Riviera Residences on Al Reem Island greatly benefits from its location. Apartments on the island demonstrate stable returns, with luxury residences generating around 6.5-6.7% per annum when rented out. At the same time, housing prices are growing steadily, averaging 2-4% per year without any dramatic market overheating. This creates a steady and well-balanced mix of income and risk for long-term investors.

The main factor behind future growth in the area’s popularity is that Al Reem Island is now part of the ADGM jurisdiction. The district is effectively becoming an international financial centre with a common-law system, attracting global companies and high-earning professionals. As a result, demand for quality business and premium homes remains strong, including apartments and villas at Riviera Residences on Al Reem Island.

Against the backdrop of existing offers on the market of property in Abu Dhabi, projects with a pronounced differentiation, in our case with architecture by Herzog & de Meuron, its own marina and promenade, are in the upper price segment and less susceptible to competition from typical developments. Investors buying property at Riviera Residences by MERED can expect higher-paying tenants, long-term contracts and low vacancy rates. And when they exit, they can get a premium on the price due to the ‘architectural landmark’ status, rather than just another coastal residential complex.
