About this project
Foster Developers
A completed tower on the canal, selling from the developer
Marafid Tower is a completed residential tower on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, with frontage on the island's canal: 223 apartments and duplexes and five retail units, registered at ADGM, with residents already living in the building. The homes still held by its developer, Foster Developers, are sold directly at the developer's price list — forty-four of them on 3 October 2026, from AED 1,461,738.
Vacant, tenanted, or a show apartment
Fourteen of the forty-four 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. Twenty-three are tenanted, with leases ending between 30 September 2026 and 14 September 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. Seven are the building's show apartments: not tenanted, and viewable at once.
What is for sale
One-bedroom apartments of 967 to 1,298 sq ft, two-bedroom apartments with a maid's room of 1,416 to 1,481 sq ft, and three-bedroom apartments with a maid's room and a private lift lobby of 2,336 to 2,338 sq ft, on floors 1 to 20, with community, skyline, canal or sea views and, on forty of the forty-four, a balcony. 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 of up to 80%. On every one-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 Marafid Tower's own.

Show apartments
Seven of the forty-four are show apartments: six one-bedrooms, priced from AED 1,636,164 to 2,149,129, and one canal-view two-bedroom at AED 2,495,104. They are the display homes used for viewings, so they are not tenanted and can be seen immediately; whether the furniture is included in the price is confirmed per home when you enquire.
Price per square foot
Across the forty-four homes the price works out at AED 1,474 to 1,762 per square foot: AED 1,474 – 1,700 on the one-bedrooms, AED 1,530 – 1,762 on the two-bedrooms and AED 1,512 – 1,556 on the three-bedrooms. The canal-view two-bedroom show apartment sits at the top of the range; a 1,202 sq ft community-and-skyline one-bedroom at AED 1,771,490 sits at the bottom.
The cheapest ways in
- ◆Lowest price, any home: AED 1,461,738 — a 967 sq ft community-view one-bedroom without a balcony; two homes are at this price, one whose lease ended on 30 September 2026 and one tenanted to 18 November 2026
- ◆Lowest price, vacant: AED 1,734,796 — a 1,111 sq ft community-view one-bedroom with a balcony on the 17th floor, keys at transfer
- ◆Lowest price per square foot: AED 1,474 — a 1,202 sq ft one-bedroom with community and skyline view at AED 1,771,490, vacant
- ◆Lowest-priced two-bedroom: AED 2,200,679 — 1,438 sq ft with a maid's room, community and skyline view, vacant, on the first floor
- ◆Lowest-priced three-bedroom: AED 3,535,941 — 2,338 sq ft, canal, city and skyline view, tenanted to 4 October 2026; the lowest-priced vacant three-bedroom is AED 3,550,472, on the 6th floor
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 and price per square foot, is sent on request from the price-list panel at the top of this page.
The one-bedroom offer: the 2% ADGM transfer fee is waived
On every one-bedroom at Marafid 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 while the offer runs. On the thirty one-bedrooms for sale that is worth AED 29,235 on the lowest-priced home and AED 43,129 on the highest. It does not apply to the two- and three-bedrooms.
- ◆Applies to all 30 one-bedrooms on the price list — vacant, tenanted or show apartment
- ◆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 charge in advance and the cooling deposit
- ◆A 1,111 sq ft one-bedroom at AED 1,734,796 bought in cash therefore completes for about AED 26,300 in costs on top of the price, instead of about AED 61,000
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: 223 homes, five shops, a canal frontage
Marafid Tower is a completed, occupied residential tower on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, with frontage on the island's canal: 223 apartments and duplexes — one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments on floors 1 to 21 and three-bedroom duplexes on the 22nd and 23rd floors — and five retail units of 700 to 2,017 sq ft at the base.

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 show 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. 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 or show apartment 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 — currently waived on every one-bedroom | Buyer, on the transfer date (not charged on a one-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 + AED 493.50 | Mortgage buyers only |
| District-cooling deposit | about AED 1,000 | Buyer |
| Service charge | about AED 18 per sq ft a year, provisional — pro-rated from the transfer date, plus six months in advance | Buyer, to the building management |
Worked example, a 1,111 sq ft community-view one-bedroom at AED 1,734,796 bought in cash: ADGM transfer fee AED 34,696 — waived under the one-bedroom offer; valuation certificate, administration fee and NOC AED 5,292; first-year service charge about AED 20,000; cooling deposit about AED 1,000 — around AED 26,300 in all with the waiver, or around AED 61,000 without it, before any mortgage costs. On a 1,438 sq ft two-bedroom at AED 2,200,679 the same items come to about AED 76,200, the transfer fee included. Amounts are those in force on 3 October 2026; the service charge is provisional.
Mortgages on a completed home are available through UAE banks. For an expatriate resident buying a first home under AED 5 million the loan can run to 80% of the price, the limit set by the Central Bank; 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.

+
On every one-bedroom the ADGM transfer fee — normally 2% of the price or the ADGM valuation, paid by the buyer on the transfer date — is not charged while the developer's offer runs, a saving of AED 29,235 to 43,129 depending on the home.

- ◆The terms in force when you reserve govern and are confirmed in writing at reservation
What is a show apartment at Marafid Tower, and how is it different from a vacant unit?

- ◆Viewable immediately, like the vacant homes
What is the difference between a vacant and a tenanted unit at Marafid Tower?
+
A vacant home is handed over empty with its keys on the transfer date; a tenanted home comes with a tenant in place, and the rent and the tenant's deposit pass to you pro-rata from the transfer date until the lease ends.
- ◆Vacant: move in, furnish or let the home from the day of transfer
- ◆Tenanted: rental income from day one; occupy or re-let when the lease ends

When do the tenancies on the tenanted units at Marafid Tower end?
