What Makes This Project Special?

This isn’t just a regular upgrade. The Al Maryah Waterfront project is designed to change how people enjoy the island. The centerpiece will be a giant 30-meter-tall luminous sphere, shining brightly in the bay. Imagine a glowing ball surrounded by flowing water .it’s set to be a breathtaking sight!

And there’s more — over 1,000 AI-powered water jets will dance in the air, shooting up to 75 meters high, all perfectly timed to music composed by the famous Ramin Djawadi. These spectacular water features are being designed by WET, a world-leading water design company known for creating iconic shows.

Other Key Features:

  • Seaboard Walk Extension — Get closer to the water with new walking areas.
  • Shaded Outdoor Cooling System — Stay cool and comfortable, even during hot months.
  • New Dining & Event Spaces — Enjoy fresh food options and spaces for gatherings.
A Vision for the Future

Dr. Bakheet Al Katheeri called this project a “strategic investment in the future of Al Maryah Island.” It’s set to become a lively place for public events, tourism, and community life — a key part of Abu Dhabi’s plan to grow as a global city.

How the Al Maryah Waterfront Project Will Boost Real Estate Growth

The Al Maryah Waterfront enhancement project is set to bring new energy and growth to the island’s real estate market. With the addition of iconic attractions — like the 30-meter luminous sphere, waterfront boardwalks, and vibrant public spaces — the island will become a more attractive place to live, work, and invest.

These upgrades are expected to increase foot traffic and enhance the island’s overall appeal, naturally boosting the value of existing properties, including residential, retail, and commercial spaces. As demand rises for well-located, lifestyle-focused communities, Al Maryah Island is positioned to stand out as one of Abu Dhabi’s top destinations.

With new leisure spots, scenic walkways, dining areas, and entertainment zones, investors and developers can look forward to promising long-term growth opportunities.

Key Real Estate Benefits:

1.Higher Property Values — Driven by strong demand for prime waterfront homes and commercial spaces.
2. Boost in Rental Yields — As residential and retail properties attract more tenants and footfall.
3.Stronger Investor Confidence — Mubadala’s involvement signals stable, long-term growth potential.
4. Lifestyle Destination Appeal — Strengthening Al Maryah Island’s position among Abu Dhabi’s top luxury waterfront hubs, alongside Saadiyat Island and Yas Bay.

The new Al Maryah Waterfront enhancement will add stunning attractions, green spaces, dining areas, and public entertainment zones right by the water. This will create a lively and appealing environment, making the whole island more attractive for residents and investors. Here’s how it will impact the main luxury residences:

1. Seamont Autograph Collection Residences

  • Distance: About 1 to 2 km from the new waterfront area
  • Impact: The enhanced waterfront will increase foot traffic and leisure options nearby, making Seamont more desirable for buyers who want luxury living with easy access to vibrant public spaces and nature.

2. St. Regis The Residences

  • Distance: Around 1.5 km from the waterfront enhancement site
  • Impact: The addition of entertainment zones and scenic walkways will attract more residents looking for an upscale lifestyle close to water views and cultural hotspots. This will boost property demand and value.

3. Four Seasons Private Residences

  • Distance: Roughly 1.2 km from the upgraded waterfront
  • Impact: Four Seasons’ branded luxury living will benefit greatly from the nearby public spaces, restaurants, and events, increasing its appeal as a vibrant yet exclusive community.

4. W Branded Residence

  • Distance: Approximately 1.3 km from the waterfront project
  • Impact: With the new lifestyle attractions and improved environment, W Residence will attract young professionals and investors looking for trendy, modern living spaces near vibrant social hubs.

All four projects are within walking or short driving distance of the new Al Maryah Waterfront development. The project will create a lively and attractive setting that raises the quality of life on the island. This naturally leads to:

  • Higher demand for luxury apartments
  • Increased property values
  • Stronger rental potential

This project reflects Mubadala’s ongoing commitment to shaping a modern, competitive, and sustainable urban future for Abu Dhabi. It supports the emirate’s vision of creating a world-class destination. A vibrant place where people from around the world will want to live, work, and visit.
