Royal, SAAS announce sell out of Phase 1 of Abu Dhabi waterfront project
An AED 1.6 billion ($435 million) project, Seamont Autograph Collection Residences is being developed in collaboration with Marriott International. Project is expected to be completed and handed over by Q4 of 2028, said the statement from the developer.
Strategically located near Downtown Reem Island, Maryah Island, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Saadiyat Beach Club and Abu Dhabi International Airport, the development offers unparalleled connectivity and urban convenience, said the developer at an exclusive launch event held at Abu Dhabi's St. Regis Hotel at Saadiyat Island.
It will be Abu Dhabi's first Autograph Collection branded residences, thus marking a milestone in the city's luxury residential landscape and offering residents the curated hospitality and lifestyle experience synonymous with Marriott.
Overlooking the canal, Seamont features 497 luxurious units, including 1-to-3-bedroom apartments, 4-bedroom townhouses and signature penthouses offering panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf and Saadiyat Island's cultural district.
Royal Development Holding said there was an overwhelming response for the project from the investors with the Phase I units fully sold out.
Buoyed by the success, the developer has now begun accepting expressions of interest for its second phase.
This rapid sell-out reflects the growing investor and buyer confidence in Abu Dhabi's premium residential market and the rising demand for globally branded, experience-led living, it added.
Tariq Nazzal, General Manager of Royal Development Holding said: "Seamont Residences introduces a new benchmark in premium waterfront living. Embodying the authentic and unique character of Autograph Collection properties, every element within the project demonstrates our mission of evolving spaces and elevating lives."
Inspired by the fluidity of water, the project's design harmonizes urban elegance with coastal tranquility, he noted.
"Boasting open-sea views, world-class amenities and direct access to the capital's cultural and commercial hubs, the exceptional sales performance of Phase 1 illustrates Seamont's premium positioning and undeniable appeal," he stated.
Ahmed Al Qassimi, CEO of SAAS Properties, said: "Seamont is a testament to our commitment to thoughtful design, innovation, and community-centric living. It stands out as a distinctive destination that merges elegance, comfort, and a curated lifestyle experience that redefines branded residences in the capital."
Residents will benefit from concierge and 24/7 housekeeping services, as well as access to a thoughtfully curated suite of wellness and lifestyle amenities, including pools, a kids' club, a cinema, a games room, a residents' lounge, fully-equipped gyms, spa facilities and outdoor zones for yoga, meditation, family recreation and leisure, he stated.
Seamont homeowners will also enjoy enhanced benefits through the Marriott Bonvoy Loyalty Program, including automatic Gold Elite status and exclusive lifestyle privileges, he added.

Oman's non-oil exports grow 9.1% to $8.3bln in H1
Muscat – Buoyed by strong demand for Omani products in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and India, the sultanate's non-oil exports recorded a robust increase of over 9% in the first half of 2025. According to data released by the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI) on Wednesday, Oman's total non-oil exports rose by 9.1% to RO3.260bn between January and June 2025, compared with RO2.989bn in the same period of 2024. The growth was largely driven by rising demand from key regional and global markets. Exports to the United Arab Emirates surged by nearly 30%, reaching RO593mn in the first six months of 2025, up from RO457mn in the corresponding period last year. Shipments to Saudi Arabia climbed by 35.7% to RO538mn, compared with RO396mn a year earlier. India also emerged as a strong market for Omani products, with non-oil exports rising 33% to RO335mn in the first half of 2025, from RO252mn in the same period of 2024. The NCSI data indicated that the expansion in non-oil exports is broad-based across almost all of Oman's major trading partners, with the notable exception of the United States. This performance underlines the continued success of Omani exporters in expanding their reach and meeting overseas demand. However, exports to the United States fell by 14.2% to RO189mn in the first half of this year, down from RO220mn in the same period last year. Non-oil exports to other countries also recorded modest growth of 1.9%, amounting to RO1.345bn between January and June 2025, compared with RO1.319bn in 2024. In terms of product categories, Oman's mineral product exports stood at RO886mn in the first six months of 2025, an increase of 4% compared with RO853mn in the same period last year. Exports of chemical products rose by 4.4% to RO403mn, up from RO386mn. With enhanced production capacity in Oman's downstream industries, exports of plastics, rubber and related items grew by 3.1% to RO488mn, compared with RO473mn in the corresponding period of 2024. Base metals and related articles contributed RO674mn in export value during the six-month period, reflecting a 0.5% increase from RO671mn last year. Meanwhile, exports of live animals and animal products surged 150% to RO274mn this year, against RO109mn in the first half of 2024. In contrast, Oman's re-export activity declined by 5.9% in the first six months of 2025, falling to RO815mn from RO867mn in the same period of 2024. This decline was primarily attributed to lower transshipments of transport equipment and mineral products in the first half of this year. © Apex Press and Publishing Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
