Penthouses for sale in Abu Dhabi

Penthouses in Abu Dhabi are mostly on Al Reem, Saadiyat and Al Maryah: the market is noticeably smaller than Dubai’s, and the choice often comes down to a few buildings. In return there is less competition when buying, and developers such as Aldar sell the top floors on the same payment plan as the rest of the tower.

A penthouse is the top floor of a building with a terrace and, often, a private pool. It is a one-off product: a tower has one or two of them, so the price per square foot runs above the flats a floor below, and the circle of buyers at resale is narrower. The main trap is the area: the brochure counts the terrace and the pool into the square footage, while the title deed may record them differently. Check the floor plan attached to the contract, not the one in the presentation.

Our database currently holds 2 penthouses in Abu Dhabi: the entry price is AED 5.3M and the middle of the sample is AED 6.25M. On 2 properties the seller has already cut the price, the deepest cut being 10%. Most of the listings right now are in Al Bandar, Marina Square. The list is rebuilt every night, and the figures on this page are computed from the very lots shown below.

The stock is anonymised: the exact address, the floor and the documents for a property are sent on request via WhatsApp or Telegram. I check the developer, the form of title and the price history before you pay a deposit.
