About Masdar City

Masdar City is Abu Dhabi's purpose-built sustainable urban district, sitting roughly 30 kilometres from central Abu Dhabi and about 45 kilometres from Dubai. It was conceived as a low-carbon, low-waste city and is now maturing into a genuine residential address — not just a research campus. Our take: this is one of the most coherent master-plans in the UAE, and it's still early enough that buyers can get in ahead of the crowd. Thirteen active projects in our catalogue signal that the residential pipeline is accelerating fast. If you want space, clean infrastructure, and a long-term capital story, Masdar City deserves serious attention.

Frequently asked questions about Masdar City

Is Masdar City a freehold community?
Masdar City is part of Dubai's freehold framework — international buyers can take 100% ownership with full title registered at the Dubai Land Department. Purchases above AED 2 million qualify for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. Properties below AED 750,000 may also qualify the buyer for a 2-year residence visa.
Can foreigners buy property in Masdar City?
Yes. Masdar City sits within Dubai's freehold zones, where international buyers take perpetual 100% ownership with title registered at the Dubai Land Department. No UAE residency is required to buy, though purchases above AED 750,000 (2-year visa) or AED 2 million (10-year Golden Visa) entitle owners to apply for residence.
What payment plans are available in Masdar City?
Most off-plan projects in Masdar City offer staged payment plans tied to construction milestones — typically a 10–20% deposit at booking, instalments through the build, and a balance on handover (commonly 60/40 or 70/30 splits). Some developers also offer post-handover payment plans of 1–3 years. Each project page above lists its specific plan.
What fees should I expect when buying in Masdar City?
Standard one-time costs for any Dubai property purchase: 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, AED 4,000 DLD admin fee, 2% real estate agent commission, AED 4,000 trustee/registration fee, and a mortgage registration fee of 0.25% of the loan amount if you're financing.
