Al Reem Island is one of Abu Dhabi's established investment locations, and development land here is very different from buying a completed property. When evaluating land for sale in Al Reem Island, developers typically look at:
This is why two plots with similar land areas can have very different values. For a developer, the important question is not simply “How much land do I get?” It is: “How much can I build, what can I build, and where is the project positioned?”
Al Reem Island offers a combination that is difficult to replicate elsewhere in Abu Dhabi: a central island location, established infrastructure, residential demand and proximity to major business and lifestyle destinations.
The island is close to Al Maryah Island and the ADGM financial district, while Abu Dhabi city centre, Saadiyat Island and other major destinations are easily accessible. For developers and land investors, this established location can make Al Reem Island particularly interesting for residential and mixed-use development.
Central Abu Dhabi location
Easy access to the main island, Al Maryah Island and other major districts.
Established community
Al Reem Island already has residential buildings, retail, schools, services and waterfront amenities.
Freehold ownership
The island is within Abu Dhabi's designated investment areas where eligible buyers can acquire freehold property.
Development opportunities
Available land can include residential, high-rise, low-rise and mixed-use development opportunities.
Limited land supply
Development plots are considerably less common than completed apartments, making available land worth evaluating carefully.
The development potential of a Reem Island plot depends on the individual parcel. Depending on its zoning and planning parameters, a plot may be suitable for:
Before purchasing, always confirm the permitted use, GFA, height, setbacks and other planning conditions for the specific plot. Our team can provide the available development information for each listed parcel.
There is no single price per square foot that accurately represents every Al Reem Island plot. Land value can vary substantially depending on:
For this reason, development land is better compared using both the land price and the price per buildable GFA.

Najmat Abu Dhabi
A waterfront-oriented district with residential and mixed-use development.
Marina Square
One of the island's established residential areas with a mature surrounding community.

The right location depends on the intended project, target buyer or tenant and the development parameters attached to the individual plot.
Not every developer needs the same type of land. Al Reem Island can make sense for developers looking for a central, established urban location with residential and mixed-use potential. Other Abu Dhabi locations may be more suitable for villa communities, hospitality projects, large masterplans or lower-density development.
When comparing a Reem Island plot with land elsewhere in Abu Dhabi, look beyond the purchase price. Compare:
A cheaper plot is not necessarily the better development opportunity.
| Freehold Zone | Typical Land Use | Plot Availability | Best Suited To |
|---|---|---|---|
| Al Reem Island | Mid & high-rise residential, mixed-use | Limited — few parcels left | Developers wanting central Abu Dhabi GFA |
| Al Maryah Island | Commercial & financial (ADGM) | Effectively none — institutionally held | Institutional investors only |
| Saadiyat Island | Low-density villas, resorts, cultural | Selective master-developer releases | Luxury villa & hospitality developers |
| Yas Island | Leisure-led residential | Master-developer led | Branded and leisure-linked projects |
| Al Raha Beach | Waterfront residential | Largely built out | Buy-to-hold end users |
