Vista Phase 3 on Al Reem Island: Reportage's Abu Dhabi Apartments and Penthouses
Vista Phase 3 is the third phase of Reportage Real Estate's Vista development on Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi. This phase adds apartments and penthouses to an established island address. Reportage has been active in Abu Dhabi, and the Vista name has an existing footprint on the island.
Al Reem Island: Island Living with a Short City Commute
Al Reem Island sits directly adjacent to Abu Dhabi's main island, connected by multiple bridges. The central business district is 10 to 15 minutes away. The island has its own retail, medical, and dining infrastructure, so residents can handle most daily needs without crossing to the mainland.
For buyers comparing an island address to a city-centre one, Al Reem offers a quieter setting and a community feel with a commute shorter than most off-island options.
Entry at AED 990,000
The listed entry price is AED 990,000. Given the unit mix runs from 1-bedroom apartments at 573 sq ft up to 4-bedroom penthouses at over 3,000 sq ft, this figure represents the compact 1-bedroom end of the range. At roughly AED 1,600 to 1,700 per sq ft on a 1-bedroom, this entry point opens the project to a wide buyer pool on a freehold island.
The Unit Mix: From Compact Apartments to Full-Scale Penthouses
| Type | Bedrooms | Size Range |
|---|---|---|
| Apartment | 1 bedroom | 573 to 612 sq ft |
| Apartment | 2 bedrooms | 1,089 to 1,564 sq ft |
| Apartment | 3 bedrooms | 1,128 to 1,627 sq ft |
| Apartment | 4 bedrooms | 1,486 to 1,715 sq ft |
| Apartment | 5 bedrooms | 1,594 sq ft |
| Penthouse | 3 bedrooms | 1,868 to 2,745 sq ft |
| Penthouse | 4 bedrooms | 3,019 sq ft |
The range spans a wide spectrum. The 1-bedroom at 573 sq ft targets single professionals and investors seeking a compact, lettable unit. The 2 and 3-bedroom apartments suit small families or couples wanting more room. The larger apartments at 1,600-plus sq ft offer a genuine family-sized product without entering the penthouse tier.
The penthouses are the headline of the mix. A 4-bedroom penthouse at 3,019 sq ft delivers villa-scale living within an apartment address on a freehold island. The 3-bedroom penthouse options at up to 2,745 sq ft offer a similar scale for a smaller household.
What Eight Amenities Tell You About the Target Resident
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Outdoor | Landscaped Parks, Barbecue Area, Children's Play Area |
| Fitness | Gymnasium |
| Water | Shared Pool |
| Practical | Covered Parking, Central A/C, Balcony |
Eight amenities, balanced across categories. The children's play area, barbecue zone, and landscaped parks point toward families and long-term occupants. This is not a project pitched at short-stay investors or tenants expecting hotel-grade facilities.
The gym and pool cover the basics. Central A/C and covered parking meet standard Abu Dhabi expectations. The balcony provides private outdoor space at the unit level; the shared outdoor amenities carry most of the lifestyle weight for families.
Off-Plan Window: December 2027
Construction started in April 2024. Expected handover is December 2027, roughly 18 months from now. The project has been in the ground for two years and is mid-cycle rather than early-stage.
A buyer entering in mid-2026 takes on a defined, time-bounded off-plan commitment. The construction timeline is established, and the completion date gives a clear horizon for planning.
Getting In for 10%
| Payment Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 90% |
The 10% down payment is the project's most accessible feature. Getting into an Al Reem freehold project for one tenth of the purchase price keeps the upfront commitment low. The remaining 90% is spread across the construction period to December 2027, with no portion deferred after handover.
The full payment is completed before keys, which concentrates the commitment within the construction window and keeps the structure clean.
