“Marsa Al Saadiyat brings homes, beaches, culture and a working marina together — one continuous waterfront designed for how a community actually lives.”
Announced with an estimated gross development value of AED 100 billion, Marsa Al Saadiyat is Aldar's landmark addition to Saadiyat Island — already home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the wider Saadiyat Cultural District. The island continues to evolve with distinctive residential destinations such as Sei Saadiyat by Aldar, alongside its expanding cultural, lifestyle and waterfront offerings. As master developer, Aldar is planning an integrated destination across approximately 6.4 million square metres, weaving private mansions, luxury villas, waterfront apartments and branded residences alongside beaches, marina facilities, a theatre district, schools, healthcare and community infrastructure into a single walkable waterfront community designed to accommodate more than 58,000 residents.
