About this project
Foster Developers
A Marina Square tower, bought whole and renovated, selling from the developer
Al Durrah Tower is a completed residential tower in Marina Square on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, beside the island's marina, with title registered at ADGM. For years it had a single owner — Aabar Properties, the real-estate arm of Mubadala, which let the apartments out. Foster Developers bought the entire tower, renovated its entrance and lobby, its pools, gym, corridors and changing areas, and now sells the homes one by one at its own price list: thirteen of them on 3 October 2026, from AED 1,858,064, at AED 1,370 to 1,450 per square foot — the lowest price per square foot of the completed buildings still selling from their developer on the island.
Vacant or tenanted
Nine of the thirteen are vacant: the keys are handed over on the day the title transfers at ADGM, so a buyer can move in, or let the home, immediately; one of the nine, a three-bedroom, is listed as upgraded and priced accordingly. Four are tenanted, with leases ending between 19 October 2026 and 19 February 2027; the rent and the tenant's deposit pass to the buyer from the transfer date, so an investor is earning from day one and can occupy or re-let when the lease ends.
What is for sale
Two one-bedroom apartments of 1,356 sq ft, four three-bedroom apartments with a maid's room of 2,669 sq ft, three three-bedroom apartments with a study and a maid's room of 2,982 sq ft, and four four-bedroom apartments with a maid's room of 4,176 to 4,209 sq ft, on floors 3 to 37, with marina views or marina and panoramic island views. There is no instalment plan: a 10% deposit cheque reserves the home and the price is paid in full at transfer, in cash or with a mortgage. On every three- and four-bedroom the 2% ADGM transfer fee is currently waived.
Sold directly by Foster Developers
Foster Developers, an Abu Dhabi property developer, owns the remaining homes and sells them at its own price list; Impala Real Estate is the broker and adds no mark-up. Every figure on this page is Al Durrah Tower's own.

What is for sale now: nine vacant homes and four tenanted
On 3 October 2026 the developer, Foster Developers, holds thirteen homes for sale at Al Durrah Tower, on floors 3 to 37. Nine are vacant and are handed over with their keys on the transfer date — one of them, a three-bedroom on the 15th floor, is listed as upgraded and priced accordingly; four are tenanted, with the rent and the tenant's deposit passing to the buyer from the transfer date until the lease ends. All are sold at the developer's price list, with no mark-up, and on every three- and four-bedroom the 2% ADGM transfer fee is currently waived.

The upgraded three-bedroom
One of the four 2,669 sq ft three-bedrooms, on the 15th floor, is listed as upgraded and priced at AED 3,870,698 — AED 1,450 per square foot against AED 1,370 on the other three. It is not tenanted, so it is handed over with its keys at transfer like the other vacant homes; what the upgrade comprises, room by room, is confirmed when you enquire or view.
Price per square foot
The price list is written at round rates: AED 1,370 per square foot on ten of the thirteen homes — both one-bedrooms, three of the three-bedrooms and all four four-bedrooms — AED 1,400 on the three three-bedroom-plus-study homes and AED 1,450 on the upgraded three-bedroom. That is the lowest range of the three completed buildings a developer is selling on Al Reem Island.
The ways in
- ◆Lowest price, any home: AED 1,858,064 — a 1,356 sq ft marina-view one-bedroom, vacant; two are available, on the 3rd and 4th floors
- ◆Lowest-priced three-bedroom: AED 3,657,143 — 2,669 sq ft with a maid's room, marina and panoramic island view, vacant, on the 10th, 11th or 12th floor; the 2% ADGM fee (AED 73,143) is waived
- ◆Lowest-priced home with a study: AED 4,174,240 — 2,982 sq ft with study and maid's room, vacant, on the 30th floor; the waiver is worth AED 83,485

Counts, prices, views and tenancy dates are as at 3 October 2026 and change as homes sell. Every home for sale is shown on its floor plan under Layouts, with its floor, view, size, status and price; the complete list, with unit numbers, is sent on request from the price-list panel at the top of this page.
The three- and four-bedroom offer: the 2% ADGM transfer fee is waived
On every three- and four-bedroom at Al Durrah Tower the ADGM transfer fee — normally 2% of the price or of the ADGM valuation, whichever is higher, paid by the buyer on the transfer date — is waived. That is eleven of the thirteen homes for sale, and it is worth AED 73,143 on the lowest-priced three-bedroom and AED 115,318 on the largest four-bedroom. It does not apply to the two one-bedrooms. No end date has been set for the offer.
- ◆Applies to all four three-bedrooms (including the upgraded one), all three three-bedroom-plus-study homes and all four four-bedrooms — vacant or tenanted
- ◆Worth AED 73,143 on a 3,657,143 three-bedroom, AED 77,414 on the upgraded one, AED 83,485 on a 2,982 sq ft home, AED 114,433 on a 4,176 sq ft four-bedroom and AED 115,318 on the 4,209 sq ft one
- ◆The other buying costs are unchanged: ADGM valuation certificate AED 1,092, ADGM administration fee AED 1,050, the building's NOC AED 3,150, the service and district-cooling charges in advance and the cooling deposit
- ◆A 2,669 sq ft three-bedroom at AED 3,657,143 bought in cash therefore completes for about AED 49,200 in costs on top of the price, instead of about AED 122,300
The waiver is the developer's offer and can be withdrawn or changed; the terms in force when you reserve govern, and they are confirmed in writing at reservation.
The building: a Marina Square tower, bought whole and renovated, now sold home by home
Al Durrah Tower stands in Marina Square, the first community delivered on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, beside the island's marina. For years it had a single owner: Aabar Properties, the real-estate arm of Mubadala, owned the entire building and rented its apartments out. Foster Developers then bought the whole tower, renovated it — the entrance and lobby, the swimming pools, the gym, the corridors and lift lobbies, the dressing and changing areas — and now sells the apartments one by one, at its own price list, registered at ADGM, Al Reem Island's property registry. The homes for sale are on floors 3 to 37.

How a purchase works, and what it costs
A completed home is bought the way a resale is, not the way off-plan is: there is no instalment plan, the full price is paid on the transfer date, and the keys — or the tenancy — pass the same day. Cash and mortgage buyers follow the same steps; a mortgage adds the bank's valuation and offer letter.
- Step 1ViewViewings of the vacant homes and the furnished display apartments are arranged through Impala; tenanted homes are viewed by appointment with the tenant.
- Step 2ReserveAgree the price, complete the buyer forms and provide passport, Emirates ID and visa copies — and a mortgage pre-approval letter if you are financing. A 10% security-deposit cheque reserves the home.
- Step 3Sign the sale agreementThe sale and purchase agreement is issued for review and signed within two days of being shared.
- Step 4Mortgage buyers: valuation and final offerThe bank values the home and issues its final offer letter — up to 80% of the price on a home under AED 5 million, 70% above it. Cash buyers skip this step.
- Step 5ADGM valuation and the building's NOCAn ADGM valuation certificate is obtained and the building's no-objection certificate is arranged.
- Step 6ADGM verificationBuyer and seller documents are verified by ADGM and the transfer appointment is booked — in person at ADGM or by video call.
- Step 7Transfer and handoverThe balance is paid on the transfer date and the 10% deposit cheque is returned the same day. A vacant home is handed over with its keys; on a tenanted home the rent and deposit pass to you pro-rata and you are introduced to the tenant.
Buying costs, in addition to the price
| Item | Amount | Who pays, and when |
|---|---|---|
| ADGM transfer fee | 2% of the price or of the ADGM valuation, whichever is higher — waived on every three- and four-bedroom | Buyer, on the transfer date (not charged on a three- or four-bedroom while the offer runs) |
| ADGM valuation certificate | AED 1,092 | Buyer |
| ADGM administration fee | AED 1,050 | Buyer |
| Building no-objection certificate (NOC) | AED 3,150 | Buyer |
| Mortgage registration | 0.1% of the loan amount | Mortgage buyers only |
| District-cooling deposit | AED 1,000 | Buyer |
| Service charge | AED 12.26 per sq ft a year — from the transfer date, plus six months in advance | Buyer, to the building management |
| District-cooling service charge | AED 3.80 per sq ft a year, on the same basis | Buyer, to the cooling provider |
Worked example, a 2,669 sq ft three-bedroom at AED 3,657,143 bought in cash: ADGM transfer fee AED 73,143 — waived under the three- and four-bedroom offer; valuation certificate, administration fee and NOC AED 5,292; first-year service charge about AED 32,700 and district-cooling charge about AED 10,100; cooling deposit AED 1,000 — around AED 49,200 in all with the waiver, or around AED 122,300 without it, before any mortgage costs. On the 1,356 sq ft one-bedroom at AED 1,858,064, where the waiver does not apply, the same items come to about AED 65,200, the transfer fee included. Amounts are those in force on 3 October 2026.
Mortgages on a completed home are available through UAE banks. For an expatriate resident buying a first home the loan can run to 80% of the price under AED 5 million and 70% above it — the limits set by the Central Bank, which put the four-bedrooms here in the second band; non-residents are usually offered less. The cash needed at transfer is therefore the balance after the loan plus the costs above.
On a tenanted home the rent and the tenant's security deposit pass to the buyer pro-rata from the transfer date to the end of the lease. General maintenance before handover is completed on vacant homes, and on homes that fall vacant within a month of transfer.

About the figures on this page
Counts, prices, sizes, views and tenancy dates are as at 3 October 2026 and change as homes sell; the price list in force at reservation governs. Sizes are the areas on the price list for the homes for sale; the typical plan drawings print their own areas, which can differ from a sale size by a few square feet. Service and district-cooling charges are per square foot a year and are confirmed on the statement of account at transfer. Drive times are approximate. Square metres are converted at 1 m² = 10.7639 sq ft. Every image on this page is a photograph of the building as it is today; the two furnished apartments photographed are display homes.

- ◆Applies to 11 of the 13 homes for sale: the four three-bedrooms, the three three-bedroom-plus-study homes and the four four-bedrooms, vacant or tenanted; not to the two one-bedrooms

What is the difference between a vacant and a tenanted unit at Al Durrah Tower?

- ◆You buy from the developer, not from a private seller
- ◆The price is the developer's list price; Impala adds nothing to it
- ◆Viewings, reservations and the transfer are arranged through Impala
Is there a payment plan at Al Durrah Tower?

No — as a completed home it is bought outright: a 10% deposit cheque reserves the home and the full price is paid on the transfer date, in cash or with a mortgage.
- ◆10% security-deposit cheque to reserve, returned to you on the transfer date
- ◆The balance is paid in full on the transfer date

Can I get a mortgage on a ready unit at Al Durrah Tower?
+
Yes — because the building is complete, banks lend against it as they would any ready property: up to 80% of the price for an expatriate resident's first home under AED 5 million, and 70% on the four-bedrooms, which are above it.
- ◆A mortgage pre-approval letter is needed at reservation if you are financing
- ◆The bank values the home and issues its final offer letter after the sale agreement is signed
