Aldar Properties has announced the launch of Fahid Beach Terraces, its third residential development on Abu Dhabi’s Fahid Island, adding 501 luxury homes to the capital’s booming real estate market. The project, comprising six buildings along the island’s shoreline, will open for sales on August 27 and be available to buyers of all nationalities.
The launch follows strong demand for Aldar’s earlier Fahid Island releases, which generated nearly Dh3 billion in sales, making them the most successful in Abu Dhabi so far this year. Property analysts expect similar interest in Fahid Beach Terraces, citing both the location’s growing appeal and the limited supply of prime coastal homes in the city.
The new development offers a mix of duplexes, one- to four-bedroom apartments, and six five-bedroom penthouses, each designed to maximise sea views and access to leisure facilities. Fitness centres, wellness complexes, and a private seaside clubhouse are among the amenities aimed at creating what Aldar describes as a “retreat-like experience” for residents.
Fahid Beach Terraces is also part of Aldar’s broader sustainability commitment for Fahid Island, which has been awarded Fitwel certification, making it the first island globally to receive the wellness-focused designation. The residential buildings are targeting Fitwel 2-star certification, Estidama 3 Pearl ratings, and LEED Gold standards, reflecting a push for environmentally responsible and health-conscious design.
“Fahid Island is a unique opportunity to blend luxury living with sustainable, wellness-driven communities,” said an Aldar spokesperson. “Our vision is to create a destination that elevates everyday life while meeting the highest international standards in design and environmental performance.”
The development comes at a time when Abu Dhabi’s property sector is experiencing sustained momentum, bolstered by steady economic growth, rising foreign investment, and government initiatives that allow greater ownership flexibility for expatriates. Analysts point to the emirate’s competitive pricing compared to other global waterfront markets as a factor drawing high-net-worth individuals from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Market data indicates that demand for luxury waterfront residences in Abu Dhabi remains strong, with several prime projects selling out within days of release. Fahid Island, in particular, has attracted attention for its integrated lifestyle concept, which blends residential, leisure, and green spaces across a master-planned community.
Pricing for Fahid Beach Terraces has not yet been disclosed, though Aldar’s earlier beachfront offerings on the island had starting prices of Dh3.5 million. Industry sources say the final rates are likely to reflect a premium for direct sea frontage and access to exclusive facilities.
The development’s launch also comes against a backdrop of rising competition in the Gulf luxury real estate sector, where developers are increasingly integrating wellness and sustainability features to meet shifting buyer preferences. With coastal land in Abu Dhabi limited, experts suggest that projects like Fahid Beach Terraces could see rapid take-up from both domestic and international investors.
For Aldar, the project forms part of a broader pipeline aimed at capitalising on robust off-plan sales. The company’s strong performance in the first half of 2025 has positioned it to maintain growth momentum through high-profile launches and continued expansion across Abu Dhabi and beyond.
The new sales offering is expected to contribute significantly to Aldar’s portfolio, with the combination of location, design quality, and lifestyle positioning likely to resonate with both end-users and long-term investors. If early market sentiment holds, Fahid Beach Terraces could be among the emirate’s standout property launches of the year.
