JOUD Residence by One Development at Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi

One Development | Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi

AI-Powered Living, 48 Storeys Above the Waterfront

JOUD Residence is a G+48 storey smart residential tower by One Development, rising on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi’s established waterfront community in the heart of the capital. The tower brings together 289 contemporary residences, AI-integrated living spaces and a full wellness programme in a single sculpted address, with homes ranging from one bedroom apartments to a limited collection of four bedroom residences.

What sets JOUD apart is how deliberately it is built around the way residents actually live. Intelligent community features and AI-driven home systems manage lighting, climate and access, while future-ready mobility, including urban drone taxi access and a drone delivery system, is designed into the building from the start. A ground floor retail component of 3,789.65 sq ft keeps everyday conveniences inside the development.

Prices start from AED 1.46 million under a balanced 50/50 payment plan, with handover expected in June 2029. For buyers who want a technologically advanced home on one of the capital’s most complete island communities, JOUD Residence is One Development’s most ambitious Abu Dhabi statement to date.

Project Highlights

JOUD Residence: Key Facts

Residences

Generous Homes That Think Ahead

The collection at JOUD Residence spans 289 apartments in one, two, three and four bedroom configurations, and the defining trait across every type is space. One bedroom homes run from 854 to 2,337 sq ft and two bedroom homes from 1,254 to 3,041 sq ft, sizes well above the Al Reem Island norm, while a limited set of eight three bedroom residences of 2,695 sq ft and sixteen four bedroom residences of 3,408 sq ft serve larger households. Interiors pair open-plan layouts and floor-to-ceiling glazing with panoramic views over the Arabian Gulf and the Abu Dhabi skyline.

Every residence is a smart home. AI-driven automation, intelligent climate control and secure access systems are integrated throughout, supported by community-wide intelligent features that shape everything from energy use to deliveries. Premium finishes and careful spatial planning keep the homes feeling modern and calm, with a seamless flow between living, dining and relaxation areas.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Wellness, Cinema Nights and Deliveries by Drone

JOUD’s amenity programme blends a serious wellness offer with technology that still feels ahead of its time. The wellness spa includes sauna and treatment rooms and a hyperbaric oxygen therapy facility, a rarity in residential buildings, while an infinity swimming pool, indoor and outdoor gyms, a sports court and a jogging track cover daily fitness. Evenings are served by an outdoor cinema, a barbecue area and a sunken majlis, families get an outdoor kids playground, and the building’s drone delivery system and urban drone taxi access point to how residents will move and receive goods in the decade ahead.

Location & Connectivity

Al Reem Island: The Capital’s Island Community

Al Reem Island is one of Abu Dhabi’s most complete residential districts: a freehold island community of waterfront promenades, parks, cafés, schools and retail, sitting directly across the water from the city centre and Al Maryah Island. JOUD Residence places residents inside that established fabric, with the Shams Abu Dhabi retail and dining district within walking distance and the island’s cycling tracks and waterfront walks at the door.

Daily life is well covered within minutes. Reem Mall and Mediclinic Reem Mall are about five minutes away, GEMS World Academy and Redwood Montessori Nursery about five minutes, Repton School Abu Dhabi about eight minutes and Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi about ten minutes. Abu Dhabi city centre is roughly ten minutes by car, and Zayed International Airport is reachable in about 35 to 40 minutes, keeping both the Corniche and international travel within easy reach.

Floor Plans

JOUD Residence Floor Plans: Space at Every Level

Floor plans at JOUD Residence are defined by their generosity. One bedroom layouts span 854 to 2,337 sq ft and two bedroom layouts 1,254 to 3,041 sq ft, giving buyers a genuine choice of scale within each type rather than a single repeated plate. The three bedroom residences are set at 2,695 sq ft and the four bedroom residences at 3,408 sq ft, each planned around open-plan living, abundant natural light and wide views.

Detailed floor plan drawings for each layout are available on request, and registering interest is the way to receive the full plan set with current availability across the tower’s 48 floors.

Master Plan

A Tower Shaped Around Light, Views and Calm

Within its plot on Al Reem Island, JOUD Residence is planned as a self-contained vertical community: residences stacked above a ground floor retail component of 3,789.65 sq ft (about 352 sqm), with the amenity programme, from the infinity pool and spa level to the outdoor cinema and sunken majlis, woven into the building rather than spread across a podium estate. The sleek vertical form and expansive glass façades are designed to hold the light and frame the Gulf, keeping the tower’s footprint efficient while the island itself supplies the parks, promenades and open space around it.

The project also marks a step in One Development’s Abu Dhabi growth. The Abu Dhabi based developer, founded by Ali Al Gebely, builds design-driven, technology-integrated communities under its Smart Development Ecosystem, and JOUD joins its earlier ONE Residence on Al Reem Island and Laguna Residence in Dubai as the portfolio expands across the Emirates and Egypt.

Pricing & Payment Plan

JOUD Residence Prices and the 50/50 Payment Plan

Prices at JOUD Residence start from AED 1.46 million for one bedroom residences, AED 1.96 million for two bedroom residences, AED 4.41 million for the eight three bedroom residences and AED 4.99 million for the sixteen four bedroom residences, according to One Development’s official fact sheet. Ownership is freehold.

The schedule runs 10% on booking, 5% at month 6, 6% at month 12, 7% at month 18, 10% at month 24 and 12% at month 30, keeping monthly exposure measured while construction progresses.

Investment Perspective

Why Investors Are Watching JOUD on Al Reem Island

Al Reem Island is a leading address for living and investment in the capital, and JOUD Residence offers a competitive entry into high-rise living there, backed by strong demand and proven growth potential. The island’s tenant base is deep and durable: professionals working in the city centre and Al Maryah Island’s financial district, healthcare staff at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, and families drawn to its schools all rent within the community, and stock of genuinely large one and two bedroom layouts is limited.

Differentiation strengthens the case. AI-integrated living, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, drone delivery and drone taxi access give JOUD a specification story that few competing towers can match, and distinctive product tends to hold attention in both the leasing and resale markets. The 50/50 payment plan also keeps capital committed during construction at half the purchase price, with the balance only due at handover in June 2029.

As with any off-plan purchase, yields and capital growth cannot be guaranteed. Investors should verify the project’s escrow arrangements and Abu Dhabi registration once contracts are issued, and take independent advice before committing.
