Bab Al Qasr Garden Residences 65: Apartments in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi
Burtville's Bab Al Qasr Garden Residences 65 delivers apartments across five configurations inside Masdar City, a purpose-built district in Abu Dhabi. Construction started in June 2026, with handover targeted for March 2030.
Masdar City: Planned Living in Abu Dhabi
Masdar City is Abu Dhabi's planned clean-energy district, designed around walkability, managed infrastructure, and low-carbon living. The environment differs from conventional Abu Dhabi neighbourhoods: quieter, more controlled, and built for long-term development rather than immediate commercial density. Retail and dining options within the district are limited compared to Abu Dhabi's established areas, which makes on-site amenities matter more than they would in a central location.
The district occupies an outlying position relative to the Abu Dhabi island. Buyers suited to this address are those who work within Masdar City or nearby, or who are drawn to a lower-density, planned environment as a deliberate lifestyle choice.
AED 2 Million to AED 4.3 Million: A Wide Range With a Clear Logic
The price range spans five unit configurations:
| Unit | Area | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | 850 sq ft | AED 2,000,000 |
| 2 bedroom | 1,350 sq ft | AED 2,500,000 |
| 3 bedroom | 1,800 sq ft | AED 3,000,000 |
| 4 bedroom | 3,300 sq ft | AED 3,700,000 |
| 5 bedroom | 3,600 sq ft | AED 4,300,000 |
The one-bedroom at AED 2,000,000 is the entry point, suited to investors or single professionals. Two- and three-bedroom units target family buyers who want functional space without committing to the top-end price. The four- and five-bedroom apartments, both above 3,000 sq ft, serve families who want generous living space in an apartment format.
Price per square foot diverges meaningfully across the range. The one-bedroom comes in at roughly AED 2,353 per sq ft. The five-bedroom comes in at roughly AED 1,194 per sq ft. Buyers at the one-bedroom end pay nearly double per square foot compared to the largest unit. Moving from three bedrooms to four adds AED 700,000 but delivers an additional 1,500 sq ft, at roughly AED 467 per sq ft of incremental space.
Amenities Focused on Residents
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor & Green Space | Landscaped Gardens |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Convenience | Restaurants, CCTV Security |
Six amenities, compactly chosen. The indoor pool is a practical feature in Abu Dhabi's climate. A gym and landscaped gardens handle fitness and outdoor space within the property. The children's play area, paired with the project's family-sized unit range, points to a resident-focused project rather than a pure investment vehicle. The on-site restaurants carry more practical weight here than in a more commercially developed district.
March 2030 Handover: Four Years Off-Plan
Construction started in June 2026. Expected completion is March 2030, placing the full build cycle at just under four years.
Buyers entering at this stage are purchasing near the start of construction. The four-year window means a long off-plan commitment, with the bulk of payments tied to construction progress rather than concentrated at signing.
Down Payment 20%, Balance Spread Through Construction
| Milestone | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 80% |
20% is due on signing, with the remaining 80% paid in stages linked to construction milestones. There is no post-handover instalment plan, so the full financial commitment completes at handover in March 2030.
The structure spreads the balance across the four-year build period. Buyers fund the 80% progressively as the building rises, rather than in a single amount. Once keys are received, there is no trailing payment obligation.
