Sila at a glance

101 townhouses in a district of apartment towers
That is the entire argument for Sila and it is worth stating plainly.
Every other Reportage project in Masdar City is an apartment building. Oasis Residences holds 612 units, Oasis Residences 2 holds 304, Plaza 1 holds 348, The Gate holds 463 and Royal Park holds 844. Sila holds 101 houses.
In a district built almost entirely of apartments, a townhouse is not competing with the surrounding supply at all. That is why the entry price is AED 2.8 million against AED 500,000 for a Masdar City studio, and it is also why the resale comparison set is thin in your favour rather than against you.
Where Sila sits in Masdar City
Masdar City is Abu Dhabi’s sustainable urban district, next to Abu Dhabi International Airport and roughly midway between the airport and Yas Island. It is a designated investment zone, so all nationalities can own freehold.

We do not publish a price per square foot for this project. The developer does not release a plot and built up area band we can verify against registered sales, and at this price level an unverified figure would be worse than none. On enquiry we send the live availability sheet with exact plot size, built up area, layout and price.
Amenities
- Fully equipped gym
- Swimming pool
- Kids swimming pool
- Kids play areas
- Barbecue areas
- Seating spots
- Basement parking
Across 101 homes, this amenity set is genuinely usable at peak times rather than nominally present. That is the quiet advantage of a small scheme and it is worth more than a longer list shared by 800 households.
Construction progress and handover
Reportage describes Sila as starting soon. This is a pre construction community. Nothing has been built.
Pre construction gives you first pricing, the longest payment runway of the project’s life and first choice of plot position, which in a 101 home community is a meaningful choice. It costs you the full build period and the full delivery risk.
Reportage has not published a fixed handover date. We confirm the current expected date in writing with the developer before any reservation.
Who Sila suits
Abu Dhabi families who want a house near the airport corridor. Masdar City has schools, retail and a working population, and almost no houses.
Buyers who want scarcity. 101 townhouses in an apartment district is limited stock that cannot easily be replicated on a site that size.
Early stage buyers with patience. This is a wait and should be planned as one.
It suits you less if you are yield hunting. At AED 2.8 million entry the rental maths does not compete with a AED 500,000 Masdar City apartment, and we will show you both sets of numbers rather than only the one that pays us more.
Abu Dhabi purchase costs
Abu Dhabi charges no annual property tax. Registration is 2 percent of the purchase price, against 4 percent in Dubai. On a AED 2.8 million home that is AED 56,000 rather than AED 112,000.
Masdar City is a designated investment zone, so all nationalities can own freehold here.
