Urgent Sale | 3.7% Below OP | 2 BR in Nobu Residences

Overview of the deal

This is a resale of a two-bedroom apartment at Nobu Residences on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, a project by Aldar that is still under construction. The asking price is AED 14,342,000, and the buyer takes over the seller's remaining developer instalments.

The property is in Abu Dhabi, not Dubai, so the transfer is registered with the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC) and Abu Dhabi fees apply. Mahboob Estate checks the current terms with the owner on every enquiry. All figures here should be verified at enquiry, as price and availability can change.

The unit

• Type: apartment, 2 bedrooms

• Size: approximately 2,411 sq ft

• Floor: mid floor

• Views: garden and road

• Private balcony

• Dedicated parking

• Handover: Q2 2027, with a completion date of 1 April 2027 in our records

The mid-floor position and garden outlook suit a buyer who prefers a calmer aspect to a high-floor view. If you usually search for a 2 bedroom apartment Dubai side, note that this home is in Abu Dhabi and follows Abu Dhabi practice.

The building and community

Nobu Residences is an Aldar project on Saadiyat Island. Aldar is a UAE developer working across residential, commercial, retail and hospitality projects. The owner's material does not list amenities, so ask us for the developer's amenity schedule and floor plan.

Price, discount and payment position

The owner states the discount against the original price plus a 4% fee, a combined AED 14,890,980. The asking price is AED 548,980 below that figure, which the owner gives as 3.7%. The owner's sheet calls that 4% a DLD fee, a Dubai term, so ask us how the original cost was worked out for this Abu Dhabi unit.

Due on transfer, per the owner:

• Payment to the seller: AED 8,502,092

• Transfer fee, listed by the owner at 2%: AED 291,980

• Trustee office fee: AED 5,250

• Buyer's agency commission (2% plus VAT): AED 301,182

That makes AED 9,100,504 on transfer. The remaining developer plan is AED 1,459,977 due on 31 January 2027 and AED 4,379,931 on handover, a total of AED 5,839,908. The owner gives the total cost for the buyer as AED 14,940,412. Confirm the exact transfer fee with ADREC before signing.

Why this deal and for whom

This deal suits a buyer who wants a large two-bedroom home on Saadiyat Island, has the transfer amount ready now and can wait for a Q2 2027 handover. Buyers who usually compare off-plan properties Dubai launches should treat this as a different market with its own registration steps. Nothing here is a promise of future value or return.
