What you can buy at The Gate
- Studios at the entry price, the cheapest freehold route into the district
- 1 and 2 bedroom apartments for professionals, couples and long let investors
- 3 and 4 bedroom apartments for families who want the district without a villa budget
- Townhouses with ground level access and private outdoor space
The four bedroom apartments and the townhouses are the limited stock in this scheme. In a 463 unit development they are a small share of the total, and that scarcity is what supports resale on those layouts.
Prices and the entry point
Entry is AED 500,000 for a completed, handed over home. In Abu Dhabi terms that is close to the floor of the freehold market.
We do not publish a price per square foot for The Gate. The developer does not release a unit size band we can verify against registered sales, and we will not print a number we cannot stand behind. On enquiry we send the live availability sheet with the exact size, floor and price for each unit still held.
Amenities
- Large swimming pools
- Kids swimming pools
- Gymnasium
- Landscaped garden
- Jogging track
- Playground
- Barbecue areas
A jogging track inside the development is a genuine addition rather than a listing line. Masdar City was planned for walking, with shaded pedestrian streets designed to keep ground temperatures down, and the two work together.
Completed and delivered
The Gate is 100 percent complete. That removes the two biggest risks in an off plan purchase. There is no construction delay to absorb, and there is no gap between the render and the finished home.
It also changes what you can do before signing. You can walk the actual unit, check the finish and the view, and speak to residents already living in the building. An off plan buyer cannot do any of that.
For an investor the practical point is timing. Rent starts when you take the keys, not in three years.
Who The Gate suits
First time buyers. AED 500,000 with immediate possession is the shortest step from renting to owning in Abu Dhabi.
Yield investors. A finished building lets you underwrite an actual rent rather than a projection. Masdar City draws tenants from the airport corridor, the university and the technology cluster.
Buyers who will not buy from a drawing. If you want to see the product first, completed stock is the only honest answer.
It suits you less if you want a long payment plan. Completed inventory is generally sold on shorter terms than a launch.
Masdar City as an investment location
Masdar City sits under Mubadala, the Abu Dhabi sovereign investor. Its tenant base is institutional rather than speculative, which is why rental demand here is steadier than in districts driven by resale activity.
Two structural points for any Abu Dhabi buyer. There is no annual property tax. Registration is 2 percent of the purchase price against 4 percent in Dubai. On a AED 500,000 purchase that is AED 10,000 rather than AED 20,000.
