01 / ISLAND ANALYSIS

The island and masterplan

Hudayriyat Island is Modon’s major residential, waterfront and sports destination in Abu Dhabi, opposite Al Bateen. Its proposition combines coastal living, elevated villa neighbourhoods, recreation and everyday services.

Masterplan figures refer to the full development vision. They should not be presented as facilities all completed today.

MetricOfficial masterplan figure
AreaMore than 51 million sqm, approximately 51 sq km
ScaleEquivalent to 53.8% of Abu Dhabi Island
Added coastline53.5 km
Beaches16 km
Planned cycling network220 km

The masterplan includes Surf Abu Dhabi, Velodrome Abu Dhabi and the emirate’s largest urban park. Existing leisure destinations include Marsana, 321 Sports and public beaches. Education, healthcare, shopping and additional hospitality form part of the wider residential ecosystem.

Modon markets approximately 10 minutes to Abu Dhabi city. Actual travel time depends on the residential community, destination and traffic. No verified island-wide population or final housing total is stated in this report.

Al Naseem: standalone Ground + 1 villas with South Californian or Modern Contemporary façades. A published 5BR example has 587 sqm internal BUA plus 195 sqm external BUA, totalling 782 sqm (approximately 8,417 sqft). Compare enclosed space separately from external areas.

Hudayriyat Golf Estates

An Andalusian-inspired community alongside fairways and water channels, with an 18-hole golf course, country clubhouse, wellness facilities, parks and cycling trails. Published areas below use Modon’s “size” label; confirm the area definition for the selected unit.

3BR townhome204 sqm4.2M
4BR townhome237 sqm4.9M
4BR Golf Home372 sqm7.4M

Par 3 Villa235 sqm4.9M
Par 4 Villa327 sqm6.6M

Payment plan: 40/60. Published handover: Q3 2030, specifically August 2030 in the project FAQ.

Modon states that pre-handover resale requires at least 20% of the total payment made and compliance with project requirements. The community is offered on a freehold basis to all nationalities.

Buyer fit: suitable for buyers prioritising golf community living with a 2030 delivery horizon. It does not meet a mandatory 2027 or early-2028 handover requirement. Confirm actual golf frontage rather than relying on the product name.

Bashayer waterfront residences

Bashayer occupies the northern waterfront. Its portfolio includes 4–5BR villas plus apartments, townhomes and penthouses. Prices below are published averages, not live stock quotes.

ResidencePublished size rangeAverage price (AED)
1BR apartment81–94 sqm2.5M
2BR apartment129–226 sqm3.15M
3BR apartment178–299 sqm4.6M
2BR townhome164–207 sqm4.3M
4BR townhome253–386 sqm6.2M
Penthouse390–489 sqm9M

Payment plan: 50/50, described as 5% booking, 45% during construction and 50% at handover. Amenities include pools, parks, padel courts, a gym and cycling / jogging trails.

Handover discrepancy: the dedicated Bashayer page currently lists apartments for Q2 2030 and villas for Q1 2030. Modon’s island overview contains earlier dates, including Q1 2029 in the project card and Q3 2028 in its FAQ. Obtain the specific phase’s written factsheet and SPA before committing to a date.

The AED 6.2M product is labelled a 4BR townhome on the dedicated page. Earlier references to Q1 2030 apartment delivery or a generic 4BR apartment at that price should not be reused without phase-specific verification.

Modon reported the final Bashayer developer phase sold out in July 2026. The published product prices remain historical reference figures; ask Ahmed about resale availability and the selected unit’s contractual delivery date.

05 / ISLAND ANALYSIS

Wadeem and Wadeem Gardens

Wadeem plots and Wadeem Gardens villas offer different ownership routes. Wadeem plots let buyers design and build their own home. Wadeem Gardens delivers developer-built villas.

Wadeem: more than 1,700 residential plots, typically around 6,450 to over 9,650 sqft. Planned amenities include a 16-hectare central park, six neighbourhood parks and an approximately 4.9 km walking and cycling loop. Modon reports the launch release sold out in 72 hours, generating approximately AED 5.5B.

Wadeem GardensStarting price (AED)Published size*
4BR villa8.7M532 sqm
5BR villa10.2M630 sqm
6BR villa11.6M720 sqm

*The website labels these figures “size”. Confirm the plot and built area breakdown in the unit factsheet. Payment plan: 25/75. Published handover: Q2 2031.

The district includes a 2.3 km central spine, six clubhouses, an arena, office park, healthcare, two international schools and a waterfront promenade. These are announced community amenities.

Wadeem Gardens villas are not directly waterfront. Promenades are within walking distance. Each villa has designated space and provision for a pool, subject to community approvals, rather than an unconditional promise of an installed pool.

Modon’s ADIB home finance arrangement is subject to eligibility, credit policies and approval. Do not present the 75% financing component as automatically available to every purchaser. Pre-handover resale requires at least 20% paid and compliance with project requirements.

06 / ISLAND ANALYSIS

Buyer fit and advisor conclusions

The strongest comparison starts with the buyer’s delivery deadline, property type and required frontage. An island address, water view, waterfront plot and direct beach access carry different meanings and values.
