Premium residences that echo the values, quality and timelessness of the cultural powerhouse that is Abu Dhabi are now being offered to investors.

Born out of a world-first partnership between Louvre Abu Dhabi and leading developer Aldar Properties, the project will bring to the UAE capital some exquisite branded homes.

“Few places on Earth offer such stunning natural beauty, as well as unrivalled heritage and artistry the moment you look out of the window. But this is the everyday reality of Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences, a development that weaves the style and prestige of the world-famous museum into its very core,” says Aldar.

The world’s first Louvre-branded residences, located within Saadiyat Grove, Aldar’s iconic AED10-billion ($2.27 billion) landmark destination on Saadiyat Island, will boast 400 apartments including studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom units and five exclusive penthouses.

Featuring unparalleled views, designs, spaces, amenities and services, Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences will be the most sought-after address in Abu Dhabi once handed over to residents in 2025, says Aldar.

Aldar Development CEO Jonathan Emery says: “Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences at Saadiyat Grove is our response to the demand for a premium residence that echoes the values, quality, and timelessness of the cultural powerhouse that is Abu Dhabi. Neighbouring Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum, Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences represents the pinnacle of art, culture, and design, tailored and delivered for the ever-discerning homeowner.

“Through our partnership with Louvre Abu Dhabi, we will build and deliver the ultimate lifestyle and product to match the world-famous institution and architectural masterpiece.”

At Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences, life flows seamlessly from one moment to the next, facilitated by a comprehensive range of bespoke services.

An ever-evolving destination at the heart of the island, Saadiyat Grove makes art and culture a part of life.

“The aesthetic beauty will flow through the streets too, offering haute couture on every corner, as well as the latest trends in technology and lifestyle, weaving artistry into every item and each purchase made,” says Aldar.

Looking ahead, Abu Dhabi’s proposed metro project planned to finish construction by 2030 will link the city centre with Saadiyat Island.

The development offers a lounge for residents – Le Salon Détente, a 12-seater Cinema Privé for private theatre experience, a wellness centre – Spa Bien-être – that features a gym and sauna rooms, multi-use spaces for yoga and meditation, and an indoor kids’ playroom – the Creativité Room.

Residents can also indulge in uninterrupted views of Louvre Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi’s skyline at the elevated swimming pools, sunset deck, and gardens, states the Abu Dhabi developer.

The lobbies and shared spaces within Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences will feature art and sculptures selected in close consultation with the Louvre Abu Dhabi.

Meticulously designed for distinction and sophistication, every apartment at Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences will be finished with interior fittings and fixtures and built-in home appliances of choice from world-renowned brands.

Manuel Rabaté, Director of Louvre Abu Dhabi, says: “Aldar’s vision and expertise in building the most inclusive communities resonate with Louvre Abu Dhabi’s philosophy of celebrating cultural connections. With this new project, now there is an opportunity to reside at the most inspiring cultural address in the world.”

With the launch of Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences, homeowners and residents can benefit from an exclusive membership that provides access to Louvre Abu Dhabi’s exhibitions and events, branded merchandise, as well as personalised art consultation and services, he adds.

Spanning an area of 242,000 sq m, Saadiyat Grove will boast immersive retail, entertainment, and leisure spaces. Including the newly-launched project, Saadiyat Grove will feature approximately 3,000 residential units, two hotels and co-working spaces for new enterprises and start-ups.

Aldar is one of the most recognised real estate lifestyle developed in the UAE. “Our goal isn’t simply to build properties; we strive to shape communities that people love to live in,” says Aldar.
