Buyer's Guide

Al Reem Island Land for Sale

Written & reviewed by the 707 Real Estate Abu Dhabi land team RERA & ADREC-licensedLast updated

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:

  • Plot size
  • Permitted use
  • Gross Floor Area (GFA)
  • Building height
  • Development density
  • Waterfront or internal location
  • Road access
  • Existing infrastructure
  • Title and ownership status
  • Development and master-community requirements

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?”

Why Consider a Plot for Sale in Al Reem Island?

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.

Key Advantages

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.

Reem Island Plot for Sale: What Can You Build?

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:

  • Residential apartments
  • High-rise residential towers
  • Low-rise residential buildings
  • Mixed-use developments
  • Residential buildings with retail or commercial components

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.

Al Reem Island Plot Prices

There is no single price per square foot that accurately represents every Al Reem Island plot. Land value can vary substantially depending on:

  • Buildable GFA
  • Permitted development use
  • Plot location
  • Waterfront exposure
  • Building height
  • Infrastructure and site readiness
  • Development restrictions
  • Seller expectations

For this reason, development land is better compared using both the land price and the price per buildable GFA.

Al Reem Island Land vs Other Abu Dhabi Locations

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:

  • Land area
  • Buildable GFA
  • Permitted use
  • Development density
  • Location
  • Infrastructure
  • Expected development costs
  • Exit strategy

A cheaper plot is not necessarily the better development opportunity.

What to Check Before Buying Land in Al Reem Island

Before committing to any Al Reem Island land, carry out proper due diligence.

1. Title

Confirm ownership and check for registered mortgages, liens or other encumbrances.

2. Zoning

Confirm exactly what the land is permitted to be used for.

3. GFA

Verify the approved or permitted buildable area rather than relying only on the advertised land size.

4. Building Parameters

Check height, setbacks, plot coverage and other applicable planning requirements.

5. Infrastructure

Confirm access, utilities and site servicing.

6. Development Conditions

Review any requirements imposed by the relevant authorities or master developer.

7. Transaction Costs

Include registration, brokerage, legal and other transaction-related costs in the overall acquisition model.

A plot can look attractive at first glance but become a very different investment once all development parameters are taken into account.

Who Buys Plots in Al Reem Island?

  • Family offices
  • Land investors
  • Development companies
  • Institutional investors
  • Investors looking to build and sell
  • Investors planning a build-to-rent project

The right plot depends on the buyer's development strategy, available capital and intended exit.
