The Artery Residences: IMKAN's Apartment Project on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi
The Artery Residences is a residential development by IMKAN on Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi. IMKAN is an Abu Dhabi-based developer active across the UAE capital, with a range of residential and mixed-use schemes in its portfolio. The Artery delivers apartments across four bedroom configurations, from studios to three-bedroom units, at one of the city's most connected waterfront addresses.
Al Reem Island: City Minutes Away
Al Reem Island sits directly off the northeastern edge of Abu Dhabi's main island, linked by a short bridge crossing. Central Abu Dhabi is a quick drive: the Corniche, the financial district, and major government offices are all within easy reach. The commute to the city centre is short for a waterfront address.
The island has developed into a functioning residential district with retail, dining, schools, and clinics already in place. A buyer entering The Artery steps into a neighbourhood where the infrastructure is operational, not forthcoming. For investors, the island's established services and proximity to Abu Dhabi's main employment centres draw professionals and families who want the waterfront environment without compromising on city access.
Studios, One, Two, and Three Bedrooms
The Artery covers four unit configurations: studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments. That range spans the full spectrum from compact entry-level units to full family apartments, all within a single building.
Studios and one-bedrooms are well-suited to investors targeting the professional and couple market. Single occupants and couples commuting to central Abu Dhabi value the short bridge crossing from Al Reem Island to the city's main employment hubs. Two and three-bedroom apartments open the project to families, particularly those drawn to the island's school options and its quieter residential environment compared to downtown Abu Dhabi. A building that covers this full configuration range serves buyers across a wide spectrum of budgets and life stages within a single address.
What the Amenities Signal
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and wellness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor and recreation | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Convenience and security | Restaurants, CCTV Security |
Six amenities across three functional categories. The indoor swimming pool is the most practical differentiator here. Abu Dhabi's summer runs hot from May through September, making outdoor pools effectively off-limits for a significant part of the year. An indoor facility keeps this amenity usable year-round. The gymnasium pairs with it to give residents a full fitness setup that functions through all seasons. Both matter for residents who prioritise health and fitness and for investors presenting the building's amenity list to prospective tenants.
The children's play area and landscaped gardens together place The Artery firmly in the family and long-stay resident bracket rather than the short-term rental model. The in-building restaurant adds day-to-day convenience: residents who want a meal without stepping outside have that option built into the building.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 40% |
| Handover | 50% |
A 10% down payment to enter. That keeps the upfront cash commitment low, preserving more of the buyer's capital through the construction period. Progress payments of 40% spread across the build phase distribute the cost incrementally. The remaining 50% falls due at handover, with no post-handover instalment plan. The full balance is owed at key transfer.
For an off-plan buyer entering now, the structure means a modest initial outlay followed by spread payments through construction, then a single settlement at completion. This suits buyers who want to secure a position in the project early without committing most of their capital before the building is complete, whether they plan to occupy or invest from handover day.
