The St. Regis Residences

Branded tower rises 38 floors above Abu Dhabi's financial island

Al Maryah Island hosts ADGM headquarters, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, and The Galleria mall. SAAS Properties is building The St. Regis Residences on this waterfront, a 38-story residential tower sitting on four basement levels. The collaboration with St. Regis brings Marriott's hospitality standards to a freehold ownership structure. Units range from one-bedroom apartments to duplex penthouses, all featuring floor-to-ceiling glazing facing either the canal or the city skyline. Handover is scheduled for Q4 2028, with a 50/50 payment plan spread across eight installments before completion and the balance due on key collection.

Walking distance to Galleria, Zuma, and Cleveland Clinic

The location eliminates car dependency for daily errands. Cleveland Clinic, a major regional hospital, sits within a five-minute walk. The Galleria mall offers 400 retail outlets and restaurants including Zuma and Nusr-Et. Across the canal, Saadiyat Island houses Louvre Abu Dhabi and the future Guggenheim. Sheikh Zayed Tunnel connects the island to the mainland and the airport corridor. This combination of healthcare access, retail depth, and cultural proximity positions the project for end-users who prioritize convenience alongside investment potential.

Four basement levels and St. Regis butler service

The building dedicates four underground floors to parking and back-of-house operations. At ground level, a signature lobby leads to concierge desks staffed around the clock. Marriott licenses the St. Regis name but does not develop or sell units, meaning residents receive branded hospitality without hotel ownership overhead. Butler service, doorman reception, and priority booking for amenities come standard. This branded residence model appeals to investors targeting furnished rentals or buyers seeking turnkey luxury for occasional personal use.

Infinity pool, golf simulator, private cinema

Common areas exceed typical Abu Dhabi tower offerings. The rooftop infinity pool overlooks the canal, complemented by an indoor pool and deck lounge. A golf simulator serves the business crowd accustomed to club memberships. The Sanctuary Spa includes treatment rooms, a yoga and Pilates studio, and a multi-level fitness center. A private cinema, library, and boardroom-equipped coworking space add utility for residents working from home or hosting clients. Families benefit from a kids club, play area, and community kitchen, while a hair salon and laundry service keep daily routines inside the building.

50/50 payment: eight installments before handover

Buyers commit to 50% of the purchase price across eight payments from reservation through June 2028. The breakdown starts with 10% on booking, followed by increments of 5% to 10% at six-month intervals. The remaining 50% falls due upon handover in Q4 2028. This structure limits pre-completion exposure while locking in today's pricing. It also allows buyers to arrange mortgage financing only at handover, avoiding interim interest charges. The absence of post-handover terms may deter some investors, but it signals developer confidence in absorption at the luxury tier.

SAAS Properties enters the branded residence segment

SAAS Properties operates in Abu Dhabi's luxury real estate market with a focus on international partnerships. The St. Regis Residences marks the developer's first collaboration with a Marriott brand. Marketing materials emphasize sustainability commitments and premium finishes, from marble flooring to bespoke joinery. Interior specifications target buyers familiar with five-star hotel suites. The tower will join the Al Maryah Island skyline alongside Four Seasons, regional bank headquarters, and upcoming mixed-use developments on neighboring Reem Island.
