Riviera Residences

Riviera Residences is a waterfront residential development by MERED on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, designed by Herzog & de Meuron. Its architectural concept draws on the emirate's pearl-diving heritage: the façade is described as having a mother-of-pearl character, while the public realm is organised around a landscaped waterfront promenade with cafés, dining and retail. The official residential mix includes one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, duplexes, Bay Villas, Ocean Villas, Sky Villas and a penthouse. MERED publishes minimum apartment areas from 64 square metres for a one-bedroom home, 107 square metres for a two-bedroom home and 173 square metres for a three-bedroom home, with substantially larger villa and sky-villa formats. Property Finder's broader launch inventory represented approximately 689 to 20,096 sq ft across the development. Exact dimensions remain residence-specific. The amenity programme includes four swimming pools, fitness and wellness spaces, resident lounges, sports and family facilities, a private-marina setting and the waterfront promenade. The Al Reem Island address is positioned near Reem Mall, The Galleria, Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, GEMS schools and Reem Central Park, while maintaining access to central Abu Dhabi. MERED's official payment information states 5% on booking, 45% through construction and 50% on completion. Official phase guidance lists Q3 2029 for Phase 1 and Q2 2030 for Phase 2. Property Finder represented launch pricing from AED 2.7 million; that figure is an indicative market reference and not a guarantee of current stock or a specific residence. Buyers should confirm which phase, building and unit they are considering, because handover timing, size, view, parking and payment milestones vary.
