The Row Saadiyat by Aldar
One, two and three bedroom apartments on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi, from AED 3.7 million, on a 5% deposit.
My take on The Row Saadiyat
The Row is one of Aldar's newest Saadiyat Island launches, a collection of apartments with large terraces facing the cultural district and the sea. One bedrooms start at 957 square feet, which is generous by Dubai standards.
What makes it stand out is the deposit. A 5% booking on Saadiyat is unusual, and it lets you secure a prime Abu Dhabi address with very little cash committed before 2030.
As with Mamsha, this is a prime address first and a yield play second.
