Reeman Living by Aldar Properties: Studios to Three-Bedrooms in Abu Dhabi for 5% Down
Reeman Living is an apartment project by Aldar Properties PJSC in Al Shamkha, a residential community on the western fringe of Abu Dhabi. The development covers studios to three-bedroom units, priced from AED 365,000 to AED 1,000,000. A 5% down payment secures a unit. Construction began in April 2024. The expected completion was March 2026, a date that has now passed, placing this project at or near its handover phase.
Al Shamkha: Space and Affordability on Abu Dhabi's Western Edge
Al Shamkha is an established low-density community away from Abu Dhabi's waterfront districts. The area has grown into a self-contained district with schools, mosques, supermarkets, and local retail. This is a car-dependent neighbourhood: residents who work in central Abu Dhabi commute by highway, and day-to-day errands happen by car. Community planning in Al Shamkha leans toward family infrastructure rather than urban density.
The price range here, starting at AED 365,000, reflects the suburban setting. It puts ownership within reach for first-time buyers and investors who want Abu Dhabi residential exposure at accessible entry prices. The project suits a buyer who prioritises space and affordability over a central address.
What AED 365K to AED 1M Covers
| Unit Type | Size | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 279 sq ft | AED 365,000 |
| 1-Bedroom | 484 sq ft | AED 575,000 |
| 2-Bedroom | 796 sq ft | AED 800,000 |
| 3-Bedroom | 1,076 sq ft | AED 1,000,000 |
Studios at 279 sq ft are compact, suited to single occupants or investors targeting long-term residential tenants. One-bedrooms at 484 sq ft step up the space enough for a working professional who wants a genuine bedroom rather than a partition. The two-bedroom at 796 sq ft fits the family-starter profile at AED 800,000 and is the most broadly appealing configuration in the range. Three-bedrooms at 1,076 sq ft for AED 1,000,000 offer genuine family scale at a price that reflects the suburban location.
Getting In for 5%
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 5% |
| During construction | 35% |
| Handover | 60% |
A 5% down payment means roughly AED 18,250 to secure a studio and AED 50,000 for a three-bedroom. The construction phase absorbs 35%. The remaining 60% is due at handover: AED 219,000 for a studio, AED 345,000 for a one-bedroom, AED 480,000 for a two-bedroom, and AED 600,000 for a three-bedroom. There is no post-handover instalment plan.
Given that March 2026 has passed, buyers now are not entering an early off-plan cycle. The handover balance is the practical financial focus for anyone considering this project today.
What Residents Get
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Health & Fitness | Gymnasium, Well-being and Fitness Centre |
| Outdoor & Recreation | Shared Pool, Landscaped Parks, Barbecue Area |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Convenience | Retail Facilities, Security |
Eight amenities with a clear family-residential emphasis. The children's play area, landscaped parks, and barbecue area create the core infrastructure for community social life at the building level. The shared pool and gym cover standard fitness and recreation needs. The retail facilities add everyday convenience within the community. Security is included. The overall amenity set points to a project built for residents who intend to stay rather than short-stay occupancy.
