Sunstone

28 storeys on the Gulf waterfront, steps from Abu Dhabi's first climate-controlled promenade

Sunstone rises on Al Reem Island inside Makers District, a mixed-use coastal neighbourhood developed by IMKAN Properties. The tower comprises 28 residential floors above a two-level podium and two basement levels. It offers one to four bedroom apartments and duplexes with three or four bedrooms, some including a dedicated staff room. Completion is scheduled for late December 2028 under freehold tenure. The building sits directly on Makers Beach and overlooks a one-kilometre promenade engineered to remain comfortable year-round through outdoor climate control technology.

Makers District: a 1 km cooled waterfront walkway

Makers District features Abu Dhabi's first climate-controlled promenade, a one-kilometre stretch designed to stay walkable even during peak summer heat. Over 100 retail outlets, cafés and restaurants line this pedestrian corridor, which connects residential towers and townhouses to the waterfront. Padel courts, cycling paths and open-air art installations punctuate the public realm. This infrastructure shifts the lifestyle equation for residents, enabling outdoor routines that would otherwise migrate indoors from May to September.

Direct beach access and unobstructed Saadiyat views

Sunstone provides residents with immediate pedestrian access to Makers Beach, a dedicated stretch of sand maintained for the district's inhabitants. South and west facing units frame the Arabian Gulf and Saadiyat Island, while city-facing apartments overlook Al Reem's skyline and Shams Central Park. At 28 storeys, the upper floors clear neighbouring structures and preserve open sightlines. All apartments include balconies sized for outdoor furniture, extending living space toward the horizon.

Interior palette: light timber, reconstituted stone, silk accents

Apartments use a natural colour scheme inspired by the coastal setting. Flooring and wall finishes combine light timber with reconstituted stone, while soft furnishings introduce silk textures. Kitchens arrive fully fitted with integrated appliances as standard. Three and four bedroom duplexes feature double-height living areas and a separate service entrance for staff quarters. The material consistency ties interiors to the sandy tones visible through every window, reinforcing the waterfront identity.

Podium amenities: cinema, multipurpose hall, pool deck

The podium level houses a swimming pool with surrounding deck, a gym fitted with current-generation equipment and a private cinema room for residents. A multipurpose hall accommodates business meetings or private gatherings with flexible configuration. Landscaped gardens include a sunken garden, outdoor yoga zones and children's play areas. A tennis court and dedicated walking paths round out the offering, all monitored by CCTV and controlled-access entry points.

Twenty minutes to Louvre Abu Dhabi, thirty to the airport

From Sunstone, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the future Guggenheim and the Zayed National Museum lie roughly twenty minutes away by car. Downtown Abu Dhabi and the Abu Dhabi Global Market financial centre fall within the same radius. Abu Dhabi International Airport is a thirty-minute drive, while Al Maktoum International Airport near Dubai takes approximately fifty minutes. This positioning appeals to professionals who split their working week between Abu Dhabi's government hubs and Dubai's commercial centres.
