What the price range actually works out at
Modon has given a price range and a size range but has not published a price for each individual layout. Putting the two together gives you a rough sense of the rate, and we are showing our working rather than asking you to trust a number.
| Entry, on the smallest one bedroom | AED 2,350,000 against 1,001 sq ft total area works out at roughly AED 2,350 per sq ft |
| Top, on the largest residence | AED 7,650,000 against 4,327 sq ft total area works out at roughly AED 1,770 per sq ft |
| Read this carefully | These are indicative only. We have paired the bottom of the price range with the smallest unit and the top with the largest, which is an assumption, not a fact. The prices themselves also differ by release, and Modon own site currently shows a higher entry of AED 2.5 million. The rates are also against total area including balcony, and some of these homes carry balconies of 82 to 175 sqm. On a like for like internal area the rate would be higher. Ask us for the unit level price list before you rely on any of this |
What a 50/50 plan means for you
Half the value is paid across the construction period and half falls due on handover in October 2029. That back loading is the attraction, because it keeps your capital free for longer than a plan that front loads the payments. It is also the thing to plan for, because a single large payment lands in late 2029 and you will want the mortgage arranged before it does, not after. Ask us for the instalment schedule so you can see exactly when each payment falls.
Questions, answered
How much do Bashayer Residences cost?
From AED 2,350,000 up to AED 7,650,000 across the one to four bedroom range. Modon has not published a price per individual layout, so ask us for the unit level list.
When do Bashayer Residences hand over?
The release we have been given says October 2029. Modon own website says Q2 2030 and Property Finder splits it by phase between Q3 2029 and Q1 2030. They do not agree, so confirm the date for your specific phase in writing. Either way this is a long dated off plan purchase, not a near term one.
What is the payment plan?
50/50. Half across the construction period and half on handover in October 2029.
How many bedrooms are available?
One, two, three and four bedroom residences.
How big are the apartments?
One bedrooms are 93 to 100 sqm in total, about 1,001 to 1,076 sq ft. Two bedrooms are 133 to 160 sqm, about 1,432 to 1,722 sq ft. The larger residences run to 258, 397 and 402 sqm, about 2,777 to 4,327 sq ft.
Why are some balconies so large?
Several of the upper floor residences carry balconies of 82 to 175 sqm. On a 397 sqm home that is nearly half the total area. It is a genuine feature on a waterfront building, but it means a price per square foot quoted on total area will look cheaper than the same home measured on internal area alone.
Are Bashayer Residences freehold?
Yes. Modon markets the Hudayriyat Island residential product as freehold.
What is the service charge?
Modon has not published one. We will get it in writing before you commit, because on a building with a marina, a beach club and this much amenity it is a material number.

Also on Hudayriyat Island. Modon has released Wadeem Gardens, freehold four, five and six bedroom villas from AED 8.7 million on a 25/75 plan, with handover in Q2 2031.

What Abu Dhabi actually registered
In the first half of 2026, Hudayriyat Island recorded AED 19 billion in residential sales, the strongest district in the emirate, taking 27 per cent of all residential sales value. That figure is published by the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre, the regulator that registers every transaction in the emirate.
Across Abu Dhabi, residential sales reached AED 70.4 billion in the first half of 2026, against AED 25.3 billion in the same period a year earlier. Off plan took 89 per cent of that value and 82 per cent of the deals. In the ready market, 61 per cent of purchases completed in cash.
Rents are moving faster than most buyers expect. New lease prices rose 17 per cent year on year for apartments and 9 per cent for villas. Inside the investment zones, where a foreign buyer can own freehold, those figures are 21 per cent and 16 per cent. On repeat sales, the same apartment resold 20 per cent higher and the same villa 12 per cent higher.
The emirate holds 233,000 active lease contracts worth AED 9.3 billion, up 8 per cent. Supply stands at about 409,000 homes with a further 71,000 expected by 2030, peaking in 2028 at roughly 21,800 units. That pipeline is the number to weigh against the rent growth above, because it is what eventually answers it.
Where this comes from, and what it does not yet tell you. Every figure on this page is from the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Market Report H1 2026, published by ADREC on 18 August 2026. It is district level and half yearly, so it is not the unit level record we publish for Dubai communities. We have applied for direct ADREC data access and will publish Abu Dhabi at the same depth as Dubai once it is granted. We would rather tell you the limit of what we know than dress a half year figure up as something finer.
