Al Naseem Residences — Overview

Al Naseem Residences are the three defining towers of the Al Bandar precinct — cascading high-rise buildings completed in December 2010 by Aldar Properties, each distinguished by its large wrap-around glass balconies that give units a panoramic, corner-spanning relationship with the marina, the Al Raha Canal, and the Arabian Gulf. Together, towers A, B, and C deliver 366 apartments ranging from 1-bedroom to 4-bedroom split-level duplexes — the largest residential volume in Al Bandar and the building complex that most visibly defines the Al Bandar skyline from the water and from Al Raha Boulevard.

The wrap-around balcony is the defining spatial characteristic of the Al Naseem apartments. Rather than a single-direction terrace, the balcony wraps around a corner of the unit, framing the marina and canal views from two orientations simultaneously. From the upper floors of Tower A, B, or C, this creates a panoramic relationship with the water that standard single-aspect balconies cannot replicate — the horizon, the canal, the marina basin, and the Aldar HQ building are all visible from different angles of the same outdoor space. It is the feature that most consistently drives demand for Al Naseem units over the other Al Bandar buildings.*

Al Naseem Residences also offer the only 3-bedroom split-level duplexes and 4-bedroom split-level duplexes in the Al Bandar precinct. These duplex configurations occupy two levels within the tower and are among the most sought-after formats in the Al Raha Beach district — providing multi-floor family living with the security and management of a high-rise apartment building and the full Al Bandar Marina and Clubhouse access that the precinct offers.

Al Naseem Residences are the three cascading towers of Al Bandar — 366 freehold apartments from 1-bedroom to 4-bedroom split-level duplexes, all with wrap-around glass balconies, overlooking the marina, canal, and Gulf from the Al Bandar peninsula.

The Three Towers — Unit Distribution

Tower A — 110 Apartments

Tower A contains 110 apartments: 24 one-bedroom, 57 two-bedroom, 25 three-bedroom, and 4 four-bedroom units. The 1-bedroom apartments in Tower A are approximately 895 sq ft. Two-bedroom apartments range from approximately 900 to 1,450 sq ft. Three-bedroom apartments have maid’s quarters, at least two allocated car spaces, and large wrap-around balconies or sun decks. Four-bedroom apartments have video intercom systems, the latest kitchen appliances, maid’s quarters, and at least two allocated car spaces.

Tower B — 122 Apartments

Tower B contains 122 apartments: 28 one-bedroom, 63 two-bedroom, 27 three-bedroom, and 4 four-bedroom units. The distribution reflects Tower B’s larger floor plate compared to Tower A, which increases the two-bedroom count significantly. The same specification applies across all units: marina and sea views from every apartment, kitchen appliances, built-in wardrobes, and the wrap-around glass balcony that is the defining feature of all three towers.

Tower C — 134 Apartments

Tower C contains 134 apartments: 32 one-bedroom, 64 two-bedroom, 33 three-bedroom, and 5 four-bedroom units — the largest allocation in the complex and the tower with the highest number of both 3-bedroom apartments and 4-bedroom units. Tower C’s 33 three-bedroom units make it the primary source of 3-bedroom supply within Al Naseem Residences, and its 5 four-bedroom apartments represent the largest 4-bedroom allocation of the three towers.

Duplexes

Al Bandar contains 15 three-bedroom split-level duplexes and 7 four-bedroom split-level duplexes, distributed across the Al Naseem Residences towers. Each duplex occupies two levels within the building — a configuration that provides the spatial separation of multi-floor living (with distinct floor-level zones for sleeping and living) without requiring the footprint of a standalone townhouse. Three-bedroom duplexes have maid’s quarters, video intercom systems, kitchen appliances, and at least two allocated car spaces. Four-bedroom duplexes share the same specification and the wrap-around balcony and sun deck characteristic of the larger Al Naseem formats.*

The Wrap-Around Balcony — What It Means for Daily Life

The wrap-around glass balcony is the feature most frequently cited by Al Naseem residents as the reason they chose the building over its Al Bandar alternatives. The balcony frames two views simultaneously — depending on the unit orientation, this might be the marina and the canal in one direction, and the open Gulf and the Aldar HQ on the horizon in another. For evening use, the marina-facing balcony orientations look directly across to the lit promenade and the boats moored in the Al Bandar Marina basin; for morning use, the Gulf-facing orientations see the first light on the water well before the rest of the apartment is lit.

The size of the wrap-around balconies — larger than any other Al Bandar building — also means they are genuinely usable as outdoor living spaces rather than decorative ledges. Al Naseem residents consistently use their balconies for outdoor dining, morning coffee, and evening relaxation in a way that adds a meaningful daily increment of outdoor living area to even the smaller 1-bedroom configurations. This practical addition to liveable outdoor space is one of the harder things to replicate in a waterfront building and one of the reasons Al Naseem units command a premium within the Al Bandar market.*

Amenities

Building Amenities

Al Naseem Residences have basement parking (at least one space per unit; 4-bedroom and duplex units receive a minimum of two), high-speed elevators, landscaped gardens, water fountains, a tennis court, a swimming pool, a gymnasium with sea views, a large lobby with 24-hour front desk and concierge service, CCTV security, and a pet-friendly policy. Residents of towers A, B, and C can rent one of 160 storage units — ranging from 5 to 8 sqm — on 6 or 12-month terms, providing the kind of additional storage capacity that is rarely available in comparable Al Raha Beach buildings.

Al Bandar Community Amenities

As part of the Al Bandar precinct, Al Naseem residents have full access to all Al Bandar community infrastructure. The Clubhouse (residents only) includes a fully equipped gymnasium, outdoor swimming pool with jacuzzi, squash courts, dance studio, billiards room, children’s playroom, and juice bar. The Al Bandar Marina (131 berths, 6.5m–24m, 220m visitor pontoon, 24/7 operation) is accessible from the waterfront pathway within the precinct. Spinneys supermarket, the marina promenade restaurants (Pacifico TIKI, Ornina, Desert Lotus, Nolu’s, Art House Cafe), and the Halla Walla Watersports Club are all within a few minutes on foot.

Healthcare

HealthPlus Family Clinic Al Bandar is within the Al Bandar precinct — the closest in-community primary care facility for Al Naseem residents. For specialist and hospital-level care, Mediclinic Khalifa City is within approximately 5–10 minutes via the E10 highway. The broader Khalifa City hospital cluster — NMC Royal Hospital, Mediclinic — is the primary secondary care destination for Al Bandar and Al Naseem residents. Burjeel Medical Centre Al Zeina is approximately 3.1 km along the Al Raha Boulevard corridor.

Schools

Raha International School Gardens Campus — Abu Dhabi’s first IB-accredited school, established 2006 — is approximately 3.9 km from Al Naseem Residences, accessible in 5–8 minutes via the E10 junction. GEMS American Academy in Khalifa City is approximately 10–12 minutes. The Canadian International School (Alberta curriculum) is approximately 9 minutes. Ryan International School (IB) is approximately 10 minutes. The broader Al Raha Gardens school cluster is the primary school destination for Al Naseem families.

Getting Around

By Bus

The Al Rahah St / Al Bandar bus stop is approximately a 4-minute walk from Al Naseem Residences and serves routes 170 and 175, connecting directly to Abu Dhabi’s central bus network. This is the most walkable public transport access point for the entire Al Bandar precinct.

By Car

Al Bandar Street connects to the E10 highway (Al Salam Street / Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Street) within approximately two minutes. Abu Dhabi International Airport is approximately 10 minutes via Airport Road. Yas Island is approximately 10–15 minutes. Abu Dhabi city centre is approximately 20–25 minutes. Dubai is approximately 50 minutes via E11. Basement parking is allocated per unit.

By Water Taxi

Abu Dhabi Maritime Water Taxi connects the Al Bandar Marina — within walking distance of Al Naseem — to Yas Bay and Yas Marina on Yas Island at approximately AED 10 per adult one-way. For residents travelling to Yas Island events, the water taxi provides a bypass of the E10 junction traffic.

Investment in Al Naseem Residences

Al Naseem Residences consistently rank among the most actively transacted buildings in the Al Bandar precinct. The wrap-around balcony, the range of configurations from 1-bedroom to 4-bedroom duplex, the marina views, and the proximity to the Clubhouse and marina combine to create a rental demand base that pulls from multiple tenant demographics simultaneously — airline professionals, corporate couples, small families, and premium family tenants seeking the largest Al Bandar configurations. The 160 storage units available to Naseem residents are a practical differentiator from comparable Al Raha Beach buildings that do not offer this additional facility.*

The duplex configurations — both 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom split-level — are among the rarest and most demanded formats in the Al Raha Beach market, and their location within the Al Bandar precinct gives them an amenity context (marina, Clubhouse, licensed promenade dining) that freestanding villas or townhouses in other communities cannot replicate. For investors targeting premium tenants in the Al Raha Beach corridor, Al Naseem 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom duplex units represent a supply-constrained segment with consistent demand.* Contact Address Point Properties for current investment analysis.*

Al Naseem Residences Within the Al Bandar Building Hierarchy

Al Bandar has four buildings. Al Naseem A, B, and C (366 units) are the architectural centrepiece of the peninsula — the cascading high-rise towers with the wrap-around glass balconies that define the precinct’s skyline. Al Barza (132 units) is the 6-floor mid-rise with exposed brickwork, home to all Al Bandar studios and the more human-scale, texturally warm building of the precinct. Al Manara (12 units + 1 penthouse) is the glass-cube boutique tower of full-floor luxury apartments. The Al Hadeel building (2017, 223 units) is the newest addition with the 10th-floor infinity pool and a townhouse inventory.

Within this hierarchy, Al Naseem occupies the highest-volume, broadest-range position — it is the building complex where the greatest number of unit types and price points are represented, from the entry-level 1-bedroom to the premium 4-bedroom duplex. For most buyers and tenants who say “Al Bandar,” they are thinking primarily of Al Naseem — it is the building complex that most fully expresses the Al Bandar waterfront apartment concept in both scale and design language.*

Living in Al Naseem — The Daily Experience

The daily experience of living in Al Naseem Residences is shaped by three things: the view, the promenade, and the marina. The wrap-around balcony delivers the view — from any floor above the third, the combination of the marina basin, the Al Raha Canal, and the open Gulf creates a waterscape that changes character across the day, from the flat calm of early morning to the late afternoon light that catches the glass towers and the water simultaneously. For residents who spend time on their balcony — and Al Naseem residents consistently do, given the balcony size and orientation — this view becomes a central part of daily life rather than a background feature.

The promenade delivers the social infrastructure. The walk from the Al Naseem towers to Pacifico TIKI, Ornina, or Desert Lotus is less than five minutes and passes through the marina-side walkway that is the social spine of the Al Bandar community. In the cooler months, this promenade is used by residents for morning runs, evening walks, and spontaneous weeknight dining in a way that suburban communities without a waterfront promenade simply cannot replicate. The accessibility of a licensed restaurant within walking distance — one of the rarer attributes of Abu Dhabi residential living — is one of the consistently cited advantages of the Al Naseem address.

The marina delivers the lifestyle differentiation. Whether or not an Al Naseem resident owns a boat or actively uses the watersports club, the marina basin outside the building defines the community character — the boats, the evening lights on the water, the water taxi departures to Yas Island, the Halla Walla Watersports activity on weekend mornings. These ambient daily encounters with a working marina are part of what makes living in Al Bandar’s Al Naseem towers a materially different experience from living in a comparable-specification waterfront building without a marina.*

The Al Bandar Catchment — Schools, Hospitals, Shopping

Al Naseem Residences are positioned in the western half of the Al Raha Beach corridor — at the airport end of the district — which gives them efficient access to the three most commonly needed daily and weekly destinations for the community: Raha International School and Yasmina British Academy in Al Raha Gardens (approximately 5–8 minutes via the E10), the Khalifa City hospital cluster — Mediclinic Khalifa City and NMC Royal Hospital (approximately 10 minutes) — and Al Raha Mall (approximately 5 minutes along Channel Street). For residents who need all three of these services regularly — and families with school-age children typically do — the Al Bandar / Al Naseem position in the corridor is among the most efficient in the district.

The Al Muneera Beach Plaza open-air beachfront retail strip is approximately 750 metres east of the Al Bandar waterfront — accessible by the canal cycling and jogging track in approximately 5 minutes, or by a short drive along Al Raha Boulevard. For Al Naseem residents who want a change from the Al Bandar promenade dining scene, the Beach Plaza provides Leopold’s of London, Berris La Brioche, and Meylas Emirati Restaurant as an extension of the district’s dining ecology within easy cycling distance. The broader canal track that runs from Al Naseem’s doorstep through Al Muneera and all the way to Al Zeina‘s beachfront covers 11 kilometres of continuous waterfront active recreation corridor — one of the more genuinely usable cycling routes available in Abu Dhabi’s suburban residential landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions — Al Naseem Residences

How many apartments are in Al Naseem Residences?

Al Naseem Residences contain 366 apartments across three towers. Tower A has 110 units (24×1BR, 57×2BR, 25×3BR, 4×4BR). Tower B has 122 units (28×1BR, 63×2BR, 27×3BR, 4×4BR). Tower C has 134 units (32×1BR, 64×2BR, 33×3BR, 5×4BR). The complex contains no studio apartments — those are exclusively in the adjacent Al Barza building. The complex was completed in December 2010 and developed by Aldar Properties.

What makes Al Naseem Residences architecturally distinctive?

The defining feature of Al Naseem Residences is the large wrap-around glass balcony that extends around the corner of each unit, providing panoramic views of the marina, canal, and Gulf from two orientations simultaneously. This is the only building complex in the Al Bandar precinct with this wrap-around configuration — Al Barza has standard balconies, Al Manara has terraces, and Al Hadeel has glass-fronted balconies. The cascading tower form, combined with the wrap-around glass, creates the distinctive rippling-facade appearance that defines Al Naseem from the water and from the Al Raha Boulevard approach.

Are split-level duplexes available in Al Naseem?

Yes — Al Bandar contains 15 three-bedroom split-level duplexes and 7 four-bedroom split-level duplexes, distributed across the Al Naseem towers. Each duplex occupies two levels within the building, providing distinct floor separation between the living and sleeping zones. Three-bedroom duplexes include maid’s quarters, video intercom systems, kitchen appliances, and at least two allocated car spaces. Four-bedroom duplexes share the same specification. The duplex format represents the upper end of the Al Naseem market and one of the most supply-constrained configurations in the Al Raha Beach corridor.*

What rental prices can I expect in Al Naseem Residences?

Based on current market data from Tower A, yearly rents start from approximately AED 110,000 and average approximately AED 127,000 per year across available units.* Rental sizes typically range from approximately 830 to 1,400 sq ft, with a market average of approximately 900 sq ft.* 1-bedroom units rent from approximately AED 110,000–130,000 per year; 2-bedroom from approximately AED 130,000–175,000 per year; 3-bedroom and duplex units from approximately AED 200,000 per year.* All figures are indicative.

Can residents store belongings on-site?

Yes — Al Naseem Residences offer 160 storage units available to rent for residents of towers A, B, and C. Each storage unit ranges from 5 to 8 sqm and is available on 6 or 12-month rental terms. This is a storage provision that is not available in most Al Raha Beach buildings and provides a meaningful practical advantage for residents with bicycles, watersports equipment, seasonal items, or simply belongings that exceed the apartment’s built-in storage capacity.
