About the project
Fahid Beach Residences is a premium development by Aldar in Fahid Island, Abu Dhabi. Published prices start at $955K (AED 3.5M), and the advertised range runs up to AED 15M for the largest units. Handover is scheduled for Q2 2029.
The unit mix covers 1BR, 2BR, 3BR, 4BR, 4BR+. Layout availability changes constantly on off-plan projects — the developer’s own listing is the only reliable source for what is left in each size.
A Q2 2029 handover means your money goes in well before you can use or rent the home. On an off-plan purchase in the UAE those instalments sit in a project escrow account and are released to the developer against construction milestones, not paid to them directly — how that protection works.
Abu Dhabi allows foreign freehold inside designated investment zones, and the transfer fee is 2% rather than Dubai’s 4% — a material difference on a purchase of this size. Compare the three emirates.
Everything on this page comes from the developer’s published listing, not from a site visit. Nothing here is advice or a recommendation — verify the project’s registration and escrow status with the land department before you commit money.
What it costs to buy
Worked through on the entry price of AED 3.5M. These are the one-off costs, not the price itself.
| Entry price | AED 3.5M ($955K) |
|---|---|
| Transfer fee 2% | AED 70K |
| Agency commission 2% + VAT | about AED 74K |
| Registration and trustee | about AED 8.4K |
| Cash needed beyond the price | roughly AED 148K |
The developer publishes a 10/55/35 plan. On the entry price that splits as:
| On booking — 10% | AED 350K |
|---|---|
| During construction — 55% | AED 1.93M |
| On handover — 35% | AED 1.23M |
What these splits mean in practice.
At this price the purchase clears the AED 2 million threshold for the ten-year Golden Visa. On off-plan, Oqood registration with a RERA-registered developer is what counts — the old requirement to have paid half the price was dropped in February 2026. Residency thresholds.
Indicative arithmetic on published figures, not a quote. Fee schedules change and some charges depend on unit type.

Neighbours by published entry price across the 35 projects in this ranking. Entry prices compare the cheapest unit in each project, not like-for-like layouts.
Good and poor fit
A good fit if
- You want to start small: 10% falls due at booking, which is AED 350K on the entry price.
- You want most of the price settled before the keys: only 35% is left for handover.
- You can wait until Q2 2029 and are not counting on rent before then.
- You want the purchase to clear the AED 2 million threshold for the ten-year Golden Visa at the entry price.
- You want the smallest entry into the project: the mix starts at 1BR.
A poor fit if
- You need rental income soon: nothing is paid out before Q2 2029.
- You are comparing on price per square foot: this page carries entry prices, not unit-level rates.
- You want a completed unit you can inspect: this is an off-plan purchase.
Drawn from the figures on this page: entry price, published payment plan, handover and emirate. Not advice — the fit depends on your own budget and timing.
