Marking a significant milestone in the luxury real estate sector of Abu Dhabi, Metropolitan Capital Real Estate (MCRE), a premier full-service real estate firm and a key part of the Metropolitan Group, is supporting the launch of Elie Saab Waterfront by Ohana Development, the first branded residence on Al Reem Island.
Ohana Development has unveiled its Elie Saab Waterfront project, an innovative residential skyscraper poised to transform luxury living at the core of Abu Dhabi’s Al Reem Island.
The 39-story building, the first of its kind on the Island and the second in Abu Dhabi, is set to be completed in Q1 2027. It will offer 174 opulent apartments priced from AED 2 million to AED 45 million and include 300 parking spaces.
Signifying the robust growth of Abu Dhabi’s property market, the project’s first phase has already sold out.
This exceptional venture, resulting from a prestigious partnership with fashion legend Elie Saab, perfectly melds the world of high fashion with a lifestyle of unmatched luxury and refinement. It showcases Ohana Development’s commitment to sustainable, high-quality construction alongside Elie Saab’s timeless design elegance.
Residents will enjoy homes that are not just aesthetically pleasing but also reflect Elie Saab’s distinctive style, marked by elegant contours, refined textures, and a touch of classic charm.
Last year, Metropolitan Capital Real Estate successfully sold “Ohana by the Sea”, a project featuring over 100 premium villas located at the border of Dubai and Ghantout, in less than 30 days, making it one of the fastest off-market sales in the UAE for an entire villa development, totaling over AED 1 billion and exclusively managed by the agency.
Husein Salem, CEO of Ohana Development, stated: “Our collaboration with Elie Saab represents a cornerstone in luxury real estate. Together, we are setting unparalleled standards for what it means to live elegantly. Elie Saab Waterfront transcends mere residence; it is the epitome of luxurious living and architectural innovation, crafted to offer our discerning clientele a truly enriching experience.”
Evgeny Ratskevich, CEO of Metropolitan Capital Real Estate, said: “As a leading associate of Ohana Development, we are pleased to sell the luxurious Elie Saab Waterfront project. This truly unique offering is in one of the most exclusive communities in Abu Dhabi and offers stunning views of the Arabian Gulf, Al Reem Island skyline and the marina, making it the perfect home for those who are looking for ultimate luxury.”
The tower will feature a range of amenities, including an advanced fitness center, an extravagant spa, a paddle court, electric vehicle charging stations, and infinity pools with views of the cityscape. The project is designed to meet every luxury need, providing a lifestyle that is both indulgent and seamless.
Customized concierge services ensure that each resident’s requirements are addressed with the highest level of professionalism and care. The tower also boasts elegant lounges, a library, meeting spaces, and beautifully maintained gardens, creating peaceful settings for relaxation and socializing. Residents will enjoy an array of high-end retail and gourmet dining options within the tower, enhancing convenience and luxury.
The interiors feature bespoke furnishings, premium materials, and a subtle color scheme, ensuring residents experience an atmosphere of sheer beauty and sophistication from the grand lobby to the privacy of their apartments.
