Dubai property developer Deyaar has launched Rivage, its first residential project on Abu Dhabi’s Al Reem Island, marking the company's entry into the capital’s real estate market.

Deyaar said construction is set for completion by the last quarter of 2027 but did not disclose the project’s financial details.

Developed in partnership with Arady Properties, Rivage will offer resort-style waterfront living with a variety of luxury homes, including one to three-bedroom units, duplexes, “sky villas and sky palaces”, the Dubai-listed company said in a statement on Tuesday.

Rivage is a “blend of vibrant city life and peaceful waterfront serenity, providing stunning views and top-notch amenities ideal for families seeking both excitement and tranquillity”, Saeed Al Qatami, Deyaar’s chief executive, said.

Located near Zayed International Airport, with healthcare facilities, educational institutions and shopping centres, Rivage aims to appeal investors and families. The development will also include a sky pool, spa, fitness facilities and smart home technology for sustainable living.

“We are confident that Rivage will become one of the most sought-after luxury and lifestyle developments on the island,” said Khaled Al Fahim, chairman of Arady Properties.

“The combined blend of urban sophistication and the tranquil waterfront living offers an unparalleled lifestyle experience to the residences and families,” Mr Al Fahim added.

The UAE’s property market continues to grow on the back of government initiatives such as residency permits for retired people and remote workers, as well as a strong expansion in its non-oil economy.

Deyaar has a share capital of Dh4.38 billion ($1.19 billion). Since its establishment in 2002, the company has delivered an extensive portfolio of commercial and residential properties.

In February, it launched a Dh700 million project in Dubai’s Jebel Ali, ranging from studios to three-bedroom flats. In January, it launched Rosalia Residences in Al Furjan, which has sold out.

Abu Dhabi’s property market, in particular, is booming. In the first half of the year, the emirate recorded 12,439 property transactions valued at Dh36.2 billion, with Dh23.7 billion worth of sales and purchase deals and Dh12.5 billion comprising mortgage transactions, according to the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre.

Investors from 75 countries including the US, the UK, China, Russia and Kazakhstan bought property worth Dh3.28 billion in the emirate during the six-month period, the latest data shows.

You may remember …

Robbie Keane (Atletico de Kolkata) The Irish striker is, along with his former Spurs teammate Dimitar Berbatov, the headline figure in this season’s ISL, having joined defending champions ATK. His grand entrance after arrival from Major League Soccer in the US will be delayed by three games, though, due to a knee injury.

Dimitar Berbatov (Kerala Blasters) Word has it that Rene Meulensteen, the Kerala manager, plans to deploy his Bulgarian star in central midfield. The idea of Berbatov as an all-action, box-to-box midfielder, might jar with Spurs and Manchester United supporters, who more likely recall an always-languid, often-lazy striker.

Wes Brown (Kerala Blasters) Revived his playing career last season to help out at Blackburn Rovers, where he was also a coach. Since then, the 23-cap England centre back, who is now 38, has been reunited with the former Manchester United assistant coach Meulensteen, after signing for Kerala.

Andre Bikey (Jamshedpur) The Cameroonian defender is onto the 17th club of a career has taken him to Spain, Portugal, Russia, the UK, Greece, and now India. He is still only 32, so there is plenty of time to add to that tally, too. Scored goals against Liverpool and Chelsea during his time with Reading in England.

Emiliano Alfaro (Pune City) The Uruguayan striker has played for Liverpool – the Montevideo one, rather than the better-known side in England – and Lazio in Italy. He was prolific for a season at Al Wasl in the Arabian Gulf League in 2012/13. He returned for one season with Fujairah, whom he left to join Pune.
