Waterfront by Missoni Abu Dhabi: floor plans, payment plan and location on Al Reem Island

Waterfront by Missoni is a 38-storey, 250-home tower on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, and the Italian fashion house’s first residential project in the UAE capital. Emirates Developments is building it, with interiors by Missoni. The payment plan is 40/60 with 5% down, and handover is set for Q2 2030.

The project was unveiled in October 2026. Homes are freehold and open to international buyers without UAE residency.

Where is Waterfront by Missoni?

In Shams Abu Dhabi on Al Reem Island, right on the water’s edge. A canal runs along one side of the building and the sea along the other, with a private beach directly at the foot of the tower.

The developer puts central Abu Dhabi about ten minutes away. Reem Mall, Shams Boutik, Repton School, Reem Hospital and Burjeel Hospital are close by, and Al Maryah Island with the ADGM financial centre is a short drive across the bridge.

What floor plans does Waterfront by Missoni offer?

One- to four-bedroom apartments and two five-bedroom penthouses on the top floor. The tower rises 38 residential floors above a ground-plus-four podium of parking and retail. The developer’s pre-launch unit mix:

Type	Units	Size incl. balcony, sq ft
1 bedroom	61	668–1,141
2 bedrooms	135	1,105–1,821
3 bedrooms	44	2,490–2,545
4 bedrooms	8	2,945–3,438
Penthouse, 5 bedrooms	2	4,442

Homes are delivered fitted in Missoni Home style, with integrated kitchen appliances and built-in wardrobes. Pre-launch layouts are indicative; final areas are fixed in the sale and purchase agreement.

What is the Waterfront by Missoni payment plan?

A 40/60 structure. Buyers pay 5% on booking, then 5% every six months until 40% is paid during construction. The remaining 60% falls due on handover in Q2 2030.

That keeps the construction-phase burden light but leaves a large final payment. It can be covered with a mortgage on the completed home or by assigning the contract before handover. Abu Dhabi charges a 2% registration fee on top of the first instalment.

Who is the developer?

Emirates Developments is an Abu Dhabi developer focused on branded residences. Its portfolio includes Jumeirah Residences on Al Maryah Island, Stellar by Elie Saab on Yas Island, Hilton Al Raha in Abu Dhabi and a Hilton tower in JLT, Dubai.

Missoni was founded in 1953. In Dubai the brand already appears on Urban Oasis by Missoni in Business Bay and The Bay Interiors by Missoni on Dubai Islands. Waterfront is its first address in the capital.

What amenities are in the building?

• a first-floor amenity deck with a pool, padel court, Technogym-equipped gym, spa, residents’ clubhouse, children’s room, terraces and barbecue area;
• a cinema, VR room and business lounge on the ground floor;
• a private beach and views across the canal, the sea and the city.

Who is this project for?

Buyers who want a waterfront home in the capital and value the brand. Branded residences are still scarce in Abu Dhabi compared with Dubai. Al Reem is a mature island where ADGM staff underpin rental demand; our piece on new financial firms arriving in ADGM explains why.
