Waterfront by Missoni by Emirates Developments at Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi

Emirates Developments in Partnership with Missoni | Al Reem Island

Where Missoni’s Italian Flair Meets Al Reem Island

Waterfront by Missoni has been unveiled by Emirates Developments in partnership with Missoni, bringing the Italian fashion house’s first branded residential address to Abu Dhabi. Announced on 19 October 2026, the project introduces an oval, 38-floor tower to the waterfront at Shams Abu Dhabi on Al Reem Island.

The tower comprises 250 freehold residences, open to international buyers. The collection spans one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, crowned by five-bedroom penthouses on the 38th floor. Every residence is delivered fitted and ready to occupy, with kitchens and built-in wardrobes completed to Missoni specification.

Missoni’s signature zigzag runs through the scheme at several scales, from the multicolour podium paving to the tower cladding and mid-section. The building holds water on two sides, canal to one and sea to the other, with direct beach access at its base and views spanning sea, canal, city and community aspects.

Residences

Fitted Homes Styled Under Missoni’s Creative Direction

The residential collection at Waterfront by Missoni is planned to suit a range of households, from professionals seeking a design-led island apartment to families requiring larger waterfront homes. The 250 residences are arranged across a single oval tower, with apartments of one to four bedrooms forming the core of the offering.

Every home is delivered fitted and ready to occupy, with integrated kitchen appliances and built-in wardrobes installed to Missoni specification. The design language runs through the common areas and into the interior of each home, rather than being confined to the façade, giving the residences a consistent identity throughout.

Amenities and Lifestyle

Missoni-Styled Wellness, Sport and Social Spaces

The amenity programme at Waterfront by Missoni is styled by Missoni throughout, combining wellness, sport and social facilities within the tower and its waterfront setting. A dedicated amenity deck gathers the principal leisure facilities, complemented by ground-floor lifestyle spaces and direct access to the beach at the base of the building.

Location and Connectivity

Waterfront by Missoni at Shams Abu Dhabi, Al Reem Island

Waterfront by Missoni sits within Shams Abu Dhabi on Al Reem Island, an established freehold community around ten minutes from the city centre. The building holds water on two sides, canal to one and sea to the other, with direct beach access at its base and views spanning sea, canal, city and community.

Al Reem Island is one of Abu Dhabi’s principal residential districts, combining waterfront living with established schools, healthcare, retail and leisure. Residents are within easy reach of Reem Mall, Shams Boutik, Repton School Abu Dhabi, Reem Hospital and Burjeel Hospital, while the island’s freehold status makes the residences available to international buyers.

Floor Plan

Waterfront by Missoni Floor Plans and Home Types

The Waterfront by Missoni collection includes one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, together with five-bedroom penthouses on the 38th floor. The oval tower form gives the residences a variety of aspects across sea, canal, city and community views.

Individual unit areas, detailed layouts and floor positions should be confirmed against the developer’s floor plans and sales documentation, as final specifications may vary by residence type and level.

Master Plan

An Oval Tower Defined by the Missoni Zigzag

The Waterfront by Missoni tower is conceived as a single oval building wrapped in continuous horizontal fins that lend a textile quality to the façade, with planted balconies breaking the banding across the full height. Missoni’s signature zigzag appears in the multicolour paving at the heart of the podium, reads across the cladding and returns in the tower’s mid-section, legible from the promenade and from the air.

Within the tower, a dedicated amenity deck on the first floor gathers the principal leisure facilities, while a cinema, VR room and business lounge complete the line-up at ground level. The design places branded interiors, resort-style amenities and a dual-aspect waterfront position within one residential address.

Pricing and Payment Plan

Waterfront by Missoni Price and Payment Plan

Residences at Waterfront by Missoni start from AED 1.9 million, with final pricing dependent on residence type, size, floor and aspect. Third-party listings indicate a 40/60 payment structure, with the majority of the price falling due on handover; the plan remains subject to confirmation by Emirates Developments in the official sales documentation.

Third-party listings show 5% payable on booking under the 40/60 structure, with the balance during construction and 60% on handover. Buyers should confirm the booking amount, instalment schedule and final prices in the developer’s official sales documentation before reserving.

Investment Perspective

Why Consider Waterfront by Missoni at Al Reem Island?

Waterfront by Missoni brings a globally recognised fashion brand to one of Abu Dhabi’s most established freehold communities. Branded residences with interiors carried through each home, rather than limited to shared spaces, form a distinct segment of the capital’s residential market.

An entry price from AED 1.9 million, with the larger part of the price understood to fall due on handover under the indicated 40/60 structure, may suit buyers seeking staged exposure to Abu Dhabi’s waterfront market ahead of the Q2 2030 completion.

Potential buyers should evaluate the confirmed payment schedule, service charges, unit specifications and contractual delivery terms before making an investment decision. Future rental demand and capital appreciation are not guaranteed.
