Aldar Properties has officially unveiled The Row Saadiyat, an exclusive new residential and lifestyle destination. It redefines contemporary urban living within Saadiyat Cultural District — one of Abu Dhabi’s most prestigious and culturally vibrant destinations.

Designed by the internationally acclaimed Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), The Row Saadiyat blends architecture, art, and community in one harmonious setting. It’s a project that celebrates Abu Dhabi’s vision for sustainable growth and artistic identity. The project sets a new global standard for integrated cultural living.

A Landmark of Design and Lifestyle

Nestled beneath the striking wings of the Zayed National Museum, The Row Saadiyat offers a breathtaking front-row view of the district’s most iconic landmarks. These include the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi.

The project is designed as a walkable, social quarter. Residents can enjoy a connected lifestyle enriched by creativity, wellbeing, and leisure. From scenic pedestrian boulevards to shaded bridges linking key attractions, The Row encourages both exploration and community.

Jonathan Emery, CEO of Aldar Development, described the project as “a unique intersection of cultural context and modern design — a front-row address in one of the world’s most celebrated cultural landscapes.”

Masterplan and Architecture

Spanning seven mid-rise buildings, each with nine floors and two parking basements, The Row Saadiyat combines urban sophistication with architectural artistry. The design — a collaboration between BIG and interior design firm Kettle Collective — embraces minimalism, natural light, and cultural resonance.

Each residence is carefully oriented to frame the district’s skyline. Floor-to-ceiling windows open toward the sculptural fins of the Zayed National Museum.

In its first phase, Aldar will release three buildings, featuring 315 luxury apartments — available for sale starting November 1, 2025. Homes range from one to three bedrooms, with contemporary interiors, expansive balconies, and sustainable smart-home systems.

Connecting Culture, Comfort, and Community

At its heart, The Row Saadiyat embraces a dual lifestyle philosophy — “connect to disconnect.” The lower levels are alive with vibrant energy — cafés, wellness lounges, and retail experiences. Meanwhile, the upper floors provide calm, private sanctuaries designed for rest and reflection.

Residents will enjoy effortless access to Saadiyat’s most desirable attractions:

• Saadiyat Grove – Abu Dhabi’s upcoming luxury shopping and dining hub
• Mamsha Beach – pristine white sands just minutes away
• Zayed National Museum & Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi – world-class cultural destinations within walking distance

Through air-conditioned pedestrian bridges, residents can seamlessly move between their homes, cultural institutions, and retail promenades. This concept is rarely seen in the region.

Lifestyle & Amenities

Every element of The Row Saadiyat is curated to enhance wellbeing, community, and creativity. Amenities include:

• A signature wellness club featuring fitness, spa, and pool facilities open to residents and the wider community
• Kids’ clubs and creative play zones designed to inspire imagination
• The Other Space – a beautifully designed communal hub for art events, creative workshops, and social gatherings
• A co-working lounge for modern professionals seeking a balanced lifestyle
• A dedicated pet spa and grooming studio, reflecting Aldar’s attention to detail and inclusivity

Sustainable Living and Smart Homes

Aldar continues its commitment to environmental responsibility through sustainable design and operations. The Row Saadiyat integrates advanced smart home systems, energy-efficient materials, and eco-friendly landscaping.

The project aims to achieve a 3 Pearl Estidama rating and a 2-star Fitwel rating, aligning with Abu Dhabi’s sustainability goals for urban communities.

Investment and Ownership

The Row Saadiyat represents one of the most promising real estate investment opportunities in Abu Dhabi. Open to buyers of all nationalities, the development offers a rare chance to own property within a globally recognized cultural district. This market segment is known for long-term appreciation and high rental demand.
