Marina Heights
Marina Heights — Marina Square, Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi
Overview
Marina Heights is a twin-tower residential development in Marina Square, Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi. Developed by Profile Group Properties and Tamouh Investments, the two 43-storey buildings — Marina Heights 1 and Marina Heights 2 — are mirror images of one another and sit side by side in the western part of the sub-district. The complex delivers a range of residential options spanning studios through to five-bedroom penthouses with private rooftop swimming pools, making it one of the most diverse apartment developments in Marina Square in terms of unit variety.
Marina Heights 2 was completed in 2011 and offers 352 units across studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and five-bedroom penthouse configurations. Marina Heights 1 followed in 2016, delivering further studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments alongside additional penthouse inventory. With just six apartments per floor, the towers are designed to prioritise privacy — a deliberate design choice that differentiates Marina Heights from higher-density buildings in the same sub-district. Both towers are fully operational, freehold, and available to buyers of all nationalities.
For current listings, pricing, and availability across both towers, contact Address Point Properties.
Location and Setting
Marina Heights occupies a central position within Marina Square, situated on the western side of Al Reem Island alongside the community’s marina waterfront. The twin towers are positioned to maximise views of both Marina Bay and the landscaped park space at the heart of the sub-district, with units on opposite aspects of each building delivering either open-water marina views or park-facing outlooks. This dual-view orientation is one of the development’s most cited features among residents and buyers.
Abu Dhabi’s central business district is approximately fifteen minutes by car via the Hazza’ Bin Zayed the First Street bridge. Al Maryah Island — the capital’s financial centre and home to The Galleria — is five to eight minutes away. Saadiyat Island’s cultural district is ten to fifteen minutes depending on traffic. Abu Dhabi International Airport is a thirty to thirty-five minute drive. Two bridges connect Al Reem Island to the mainland; the island’s internal road layout means Marina Heights has straightforward vehicle access to both bridge exits without navigating congested internal streets.
The wider Marina Square community comprises fourteen towers accommodating approximately 8,500 residents. Paragon Bay Mall, ZOOM, and Carrefour Market are within a five to ten minute walk of Marina Heights. Neighbouring towers in the sub-district include Tala Tower, MAG 5 Residences, and Marina Bay Tower, all within the same walkable precinct.
Apartment Types and Floor Plans
Studio Apartments
Studio apartments in Marina Heights 2 span between 517 and 525 square feet and are the entry-level units in the complex. Each studio provides a sleeping area with an attached wardrobe, an open-plan kitchen, and an en-suite bathroom. The compact footprint makes studios popular with single professionals and graduate students who want a well-located, self-contained home close to Abu Dhabi’s business districts without the commitment of a larger unit. Studios in Marina Heights generate some of the highest rental yields in the complex — a characteristic of this unit type across Al Reem Island more broadly — making them a preferred choice for investors targeting strong short-term income performance.
One-Bedroom Apartments
One-bedroom apartments in Marina Heights 2 span approximately 862 to 950 square feet, each with an en-suite bathroom and open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area. In Marina Heights 1, one-bedroom units are available in similar size bands. All apartments are fitted with smart home systems, built-in wardrobes, premium kitchen appliances, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame either Marina Bay or the community park depending on unit orientation. Balconies are standard across the range, providing private outdoor space on upper floors with open water or skyline views.
One-bedroom units are the most actively transacted apartment type in Marina Heights, attracting both owner-occupiers and buy-to-let investors. The six-unit-per-floor configuration ensures a quieter, less crowded living environment than is typical in buildings with ten or more units per floor — a difference that is particularly valued by professionals seeking a premium feel without committing to penthouse or larger-format pricing.
Two and Three-Bedroom Apartments
Two-bedroom apartments in Marina Heights 2 range from 1,085 to 1,683 square feet and include a living and dining area, semi-open kitchen, laundry room, powder room, walk-in closet, and balcony. Three-bedroom apartments, available in Marina Heights 1, extend the range further and are designed for families requiring additional bedroom space without stepping up to a penthouse. All two- and three-bedroom layouts provide en-suite bathrooms to the master bedroom and deliver generous living area proportions relative to the tower’s overall unit mix.
Two-bedroom apartments in particular are favoured by professional couples and smaller families relocating to Abu Dhabi who value the privacy of six units per floor and the proximity of Repton School and Nord Anglia International School for families with school-age children. For floor-plan diagrams, specific unit availability, and current service charge rates across all two- and three-bedroom configurations, contact Address Point Properties.
Five-Bedroom Penthouses
The five-bedroom penthouses in Marina Heights — available primarily in Marina Heights 2 — are among the most spacious and exclusive residential units in Marina Square. Occupying the upper levels of the tower, penthouses span approximately 9,000 to 9,150 square feet across multiple floors and feature several private balconies, a dedicated maid’s room, premium fitted kitchen, and a private rooftop swimming pool. Views from the penthouse levels are unobstructed in all directions, encompassing Marina Bay, the Arabian Gulf, the Abu Dhabi skyline, and the Saadiyat Island horizon on clear days.
These units attract a narrow segment of buyers — typically UAE nationals, high-net-worth expatriates, and investors seeking a Marina Square address with a private pool and hotel-grade space without the formality of a villa compound. For penthouse pricing, availability, and viewing arrangements, contact Address Point Properties directly.
Building Amenities and Facilities
Marina Heights delivers a full complement of residential amenities across both towers. The shared podium provides a large swimming pool, a children’s pool, and a children’s play area for family residents. A fully equipped gymnasium is available for resident use, alongside a barbecue area and landscaped communal gardens on the podium level. Beach access is included among the development’s facilities — an amenity that sets Marina Heights apart from many comparable Marina Square towers and is particularly valued by families and active residents.
Ground floor retail space in each building provides immediate convenience for residents, housing shops and cafes without requiring a trip out of the complex. The buildings are served by high-speed elevators, 24-hour security with CCTV, concierge services in the lobby, and round-the-clock maintenance. Secure basement car parking provides one allocated space per residential unit, with visitor parking options nearby within the Marina Square precinct. Both towers are designated pet-friendly — a characteristic shared with the wider Marina Square community and consistently cited among the most searched criteria for renters on Al Reem Island.
Smart home systems are fitted throughout all apartments and penthouses, enabling residents to manage climate, lighting, and building access remotely. The six-unit-per-floor layout means shared lobby and lift spaces are quieter and less congested than in towers with more units per floor, contributing to the premium feel of everyday living in Marina Heights. A daycare centre operates within or adjacent to the complex, adding convenience for parents of young children at both towers.
Schools and Education
Nurseries
Playhouse Nursery on Al Reem Island — following the UK Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum — is a short walk from Marina Heights through the Marina Square precinct. Hummingbird Nursery and Mosaic Nursery are also within a five-to-ten-minute drive of the complex, providing parents with multiple early years education options in and around the island. A daycare centre is available within the Marina Heights complex itself, giving residents with very young children a convenient on-site solution for childcare during the working week.
Primary and Secondary Schools
Repton School Abu Dhabi — offering British National Curriculum education from Foundation Stage through to Year 13 — is approximately ten to eleven minutes from Marina Heights by car and is one of the most sought-after schools in Abu Dhabi among the island’s expatriate population. Nord Anglia International School Abu Dhabi is similarly well regarded, with a broad international curriculum and strong co-curricular programming in sports and the arts. Both schools serve Marina Square families as their primary catchment base and their proximity is a meaningful driver of family demand for two- and three-bedroom apartments in Marina Heights specifically.
Higher Education
Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi is located on Al Reem Island and was founded in 2006 under an agreement between the Abu Dhabi government and Sorbonne University Paris. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across humanities, sciences, and social studies in a landmark campus setting. NYU Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island is ten to fifteen minutes by car, providing access to one of the most competitive liberal arts university environments in the Gulf region. Academic staff and postgraduate students from both institutions regularly rent apartments in Marina Square, sustaining a well-educated, professionally diverse residential community in and around Marina Heights.
Healthcare
On Al Reem Island
Reem Hospital is Al Reem Island’s primary full-service private hospital, offering 24-hour emergency care, specialist consultations, surgical services, maternity care, and a broad range of outpatient and diagnostic services. It is reachable from Marina Heights in approximately ten minutes by car. Burjeel Day Surgery Centre on the island handles outpatient surgical and specialist procedures including physiotherapy, orthopaedics, and diagnostic imaging — a practical option for residents who need specialist treatment without hospital admission. Both facilities address the majority of healthcare needs for Marina Heights residents without requiring a trip to the mainland.
Nearby
Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi on Al Maryah Island is one of the most advanced multi-specialty hospitals in the Middle East and is reachable from Marina Heights in five to eight minutes by car. It is the preferred tertiary care provider for residents across Al Reem Island in areas including cardiology, oncology, neurology, and transplant medicine. NMC Royal Hospital on the mainland is within fifteen minutes and provides a further layer of specialist and general care. Together, these facilities give Marina Heights residents access to comprehensive healthcare within a compact geographic radius — a consistent draw for families and older residents making long-term rental or purchase decisions.
Transport and Getting Around
Public Transport
The Khor ‘Azeez Street / Marina Square bus stop is a three-to-five minute walk from Marina Heights, served by bus route 71. The Hazza’ Bin Zayed Street / Marina Square stop is within five to seven minutes on foot and provides access to additional routes connecting to Abu Dhabi’s main bus station — reachable in approximately fifteen minutes. Taxis and ride-hailing services via Careem and Uber are available from Marina Square at street level throughout the day and evening, making car-free commuting to central Abu Dhabi and Al Maryah Island a practical option for residents without a vehicle.
Roads and Highways
Marina Heights sits within the Marina Square road network, connected to the Hazza’ Bin Zayed the First Street highway that bridges Al Reem Island to the Abu Dhabi mainland. This route links directly to Airport Road (E20), providing access to the central business district in approximately fifteen minutes and to Abu Dhabi International Airport in thirty to thirty-five minutes. A second bridge via Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street provides an alternative mainland route. The E11 — connecting Abu Dhabi to Dubai — is accessible within five to ten minutes from the island bridge exits, making Marina Heights a practical base for residents who commute regularly between the two cities.
Bicycle rental stations are distributed across Marina Square, providing an alternative to vehicles for short journeys between towers, the waterfront promenade, and nearby retail clusters. The sub-district’s compact layout means that Paragon Bay Mall, the marina promenade, and most Marina Square dining are all accessible within ten minutes on foot from the Marina Heights lobby.
Nearby Attractions and Lifestyle
Restaurants and Dining
Marina Heights residents are within easy walking distance of Marina Square’s established dining scene. First Clique Marina Square Café and Restaurant in Marina Blue Building serves Italian, French, and international cuisine with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the marina. 800PIZZA offers wood-fired Italian pizza within a five-minute walk, while Bshawarma brings traditional Middle Eastern street food to the community. PINSANITY on Al Reem Island has become a local favourite for its creative pinsa menu and relaxed setting. Oxid Cafe is a convenient daytime stop for coffee, light meals, and pastries a short stroll from the Marina Heights lobby.
For a wider restaurant offering, Reem Mall — reachable by a short drive — houses Wagamama, Eataly, The Butcher Shop and Grill, and New Shanghai across its two dining levels. The Shams Boutik Mall dining strip in the Shams Abu Dhabi district includes La Brioche, Nando’s, and The Kettle Corner for residents seeking variety beyond Marina Square’s immediate waterfront.
Malls and Shopping
Paragon Bay Mall is the closest retail hub to Marina Heights — approximately five minutes on foot along the Marina Square promenade. It houses a Carrefour Market, ZOOM convenience store, BinSina Pharmacy, and a range of service outlets including laundry, banking, and a butchery. ZOOM supermarket and Carrefour Market are also individually accessible within a seven-to-ten-minute walk of the towers. For a fuller retail experience, Reem Mall — Al Reem Island’s flagship destination — spans over 400 stores and includes Snow Abu Dhabi, VOX Cinemas, and a food court anchoring the eastern end of the island.
For luxury retail and premium dining, The Galleria Al Maryah Island is five to eight minutes by car, bringing international designer labels, waterfront restaurants, and a premium cinema into easy reach of Marina Heights residents. Abu Dhabi Mall on the mainland is approximately fifteen minutes by car for mid-market retail variety.
Places of Worship
Al Aziz Mosque, one of the largest mosques in Abu Dhabi with capacity for approximately 2,500 to 2,770 worshippers, is a five-minute drive from Marina Heights. The mosque is architecturally distinctive — its calligraphic Arabic panels are illuminated at night and the light-reflective facade shifts colour across the day. A second mosque serves the Reem Central Park area, providing additional Friday prayer capacity for the island’s growing resident population. Churches serving residents of other faiths are located in the Al Mushrif area on the mainland, approximately fifteen minutes by car. The BAPS Hindu Mandir and Sikh Gurdwara are reachable within twenty to thirty minutes, reflecting Abu Dhabi’s broad provision for its multinational community.
Parks and Outdoor Spaces
Reem Central Park is Al Reem Island’s landmark public green space — a one-million-square-foot Aldar-managed park encompassing an adventure trail, skate park, beach area, running and cycling tracks, children’s playgrounds, and a beach mosque. It hosts regular community events, weekend markets, and outdoor fitness sessions and is one of the primary lifestyle draws for families choosing Al Reem Island over comparable Abu Dhabi communities. Marina Heights residents can reach the park by a short drive or an extended waterfront walk via the Marina Square promenade.
Al Fay Park on Al Reem Island offers a sports-focused outdoor environment with badminton, basketball, and table tennis courts, mini-golf, a climbing wall, a skatepark, and dedicated running and cycling paths — Abu Dhabi’s first urban park designed around biodiversity improvement. Both parks provide Marina Heights residents with a quality of outdoor recreation that significantly enhances everyday living in Marina Square beyond the tower’s own pool and garden amenities.
Attractions and Landmarks
Cultural landmarks are well within reach of Marina Heights. Louvre Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island is approximately thirteen minutes by car — one of the most visited cultural destinations in the UAE and a regular weekend outing for Al Reem Island residents. Qasr Al Watan, the Presidential Palace open for public visits, is around fifteen minutes away. Corniche Beach — Abu Dhabi’s famous seven-kilometre public waterfront — is fifteen to twenty minutes by car and remains one of the city’s most popular outdoor destinations for residents from island communities.
For family entertainment further afield, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, and Yas Waterworld on Yas Island are all approximately thirty minutes by car — practical day-trip destinations from Marina Heights for families looking to make use of the world-class theme park and leisure cluster Abu Dhabi offers.

For penthouse pricing, availability, and viewing, contact Address Point Properties directly.
Apartment Rental Prices in Marina Heights
Studios
Studio apartments in Marina Heights are available for rent from approximately AED 55,000* per annum in Marina Heights 2. These compact, self-contained units attract single professionals and graduate students seeking an accessible annual rent close to Abu Dhabi’s business districts. Studios in Marina Heights tend to lease quickly given the low entry point relative to the wider Marina Square market, resulting in shorter vacancy periods that benefit buy-to-let investors.
One-Bedroom Apartments
One-bedroom apartments in Marina Heights are currently rented from approximately AED 75,000* to AED 100,000* per annum depending on floor, furnishing status, and view aspect. Units with direct Marina Bay views or high-floor park outlooks command the upper end of this range. The overall rental range across both Marina Heights towers spans AED 65,000* to AED 140,000* annually, encompassing all unit types from studio to three-bedroom. Payment terms are typically two to four cheques per year depending on the landlord and unit.
Two and Three-Bedroom Apartments
Two-bedroom apartments in Marina Heights currently rent from approximately AED 110,000* to AED 140,000* per annum for units in the 1,085 to 1,683 square foot range, depending on floor level and tower. Marina Heights 2 — the earlier tower — may offer slightly softer rental pricing than Marina Heights 1 on comparable floor levels, though the spread is typically modest. Three-bedroom apartments in Marina Heights 1 command higher annual rents reflecting their additional bedroom; for current three-bedroom rental listings, contact Address Point Properties.
Investment Case for Marina Heights
Marina Heights offers one of the widest investment entry points in Marina Square — from studios at around AED 550,000* through to one-bedroom apartments and up to five-bedroom penthouses — enabling investors to position across multiple segments of the market from a single development. The twin-tower structure means that buyers can choose between Marina Heights 2 (the established 2011 handover with the longest occupancy track record) and Marina Heights 1 (the 2016 completion with more recently refreshed interiors and layouts), depending on their preference for price, floor level, and condition.
Rental yields in Marina Heights are competitive within Marina Square, with studio apartments delivering the strongest returns by unit type — a characteristic of freehold marina-adjacent stock across Al Reem Island. The six-unit-per-floor layout sustains a premium living environment that retains quality tenants longer than higher-density towers, reducing turnover costs for landlords. As a freehold development, all units are eligible for UAE Golden Visa applications by buyers meeting the qualifying purchase price threshold.
Profile Group Properties and Tamouh Investments have both been active in Abu Dhabi’s established residential market for many years. The twin-tower format creates a larger resident community with shared amenities — generally associated with stronger service charge management and building maintenance standards over time. For a detailed investment comparison across Marina Heights 1 and Marina Heights 2 — covering current yields, comparable transactions, and available stock — contact Address Point Properties.
How Marina Heights Compares in Marina Square
Within Marina Square, Marina Heights is most directly compared to Tala Tower, MAG 5 Residences, and Marina Bay Tower. Marina Heights’ twin-tower format is its primary structural differentiator — offering twice the inventory base of a single-tower competitor, which generally supports stronger liquidity for buyers and sellers in the secondary market. The six-unit-per-floor design provides a privacy standard above most Marina Square peers, while the inclusion of studios and five-bedroom penthouses in the same development makes it the broadest unit-range offering in the sub-district.
Compared to Tala Tower — developed by Aldar Properties — Marina Heights does not carry the same institutional developer brand, but compensates with a more diverse range of unit types including studios and large-format penthouses that Tala Tower does not offer. Tala Tower has an on-site nursery that Marina Heights lacks, which is relevant for families with very young children. Against towers in the City of Lights — such as Horizon Towers and Hydra Avenue — Marina Heights commands a location premium reflecting the direct Marina Square waterfront position and the maturity of the sub-district’s community infrastructure. Buyers choosing between the two precincts will typically weigh unit size and price per square foot against location quality and community depth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who developed Marina Heights and when were the towers completed?
Marina Heights was developed by Profile Group Properties in partnership with Tamouh Investments. The development was built in two phases: Marina Heights 2 was completed in 2011, and Marina Heights 1 was completed in 2016. Both towers are 43 storeys each and are designed as mirror images of one another, sitting side by side in the western part of Marina Square on Al Reem Island. Profile Group Properties is an Abu Dhabi-based developer with a track record across residential and commercial projects in the emirate. Tamouh Investments has been one of the master developers involved in the broader Marina Square sub-district, contributing to the community infrastructure that has made the precinct one of Al Reem Island’s most established residential addresses.
What is the difference between Marina Heights 1 and Marina Heights 2?
Marina Heights 2 was completed in 2011 and offers studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom apartments, and five-bedroom penthouses — a total of 352 units with six apartments per floor. Marina Heights 1 was completed in 2016 and adds studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as further penthouse inventory. As the later completion, Marina Heights 1 units typically feature more recently fitted interiors and may command a marginal asking price premium on comparable floors. Marina Heights 2, with its longer occupancy track record, tends to have a more established secondary market with a wider selection of resale listings. Both towers share the same amenity facilities and are designated pet-friendly within the freehold Marina Square precinct.
Is Marina Heights freehold and can all nationalities buy?
Yes. Marina Heights is located within Marina Square, which is a freehold investment zone on Al Reem Island — one of the first areas in Abu Dhabi to be designated as such. Apartments in both Marina Heights 1 and Marina Heights 2 can be purchased with full ownership rights by buyers of any nationality. There are no restrictions on reselling or renting freehold units. Buyers who meet the qualifying purchase price threshold are eligible to apply for a UAE Golden Visa — a ten-year renewable residency visa — which makes larger apartments and penthouses in Marina Heights particularly relevant for international investors seeking UAE residency linked to property ownership in Abu Dhabi.
What unit types are available in Marina Heights?
Marina Heights offers one of the widest unit-type ranges in Marina Square. The development includes studios of 517 to 525 square feet; one-bedroom apartments of 862 to 950 square feet; two-bedroom apartments of 1,085 to 1,683 square feet; three-bedroom apartments (available in Marina Heights 1); and five-bedroom penthouses spanning approximately 9,000 to 9,150 square feet with multiple balconies and a private rooftop swimming pool. All apartments feature smart home systems, built-in wardrobes, floor-to-ceiling windows, balconies, and premium kitchen appliances. Just six apartments occupy each floor across both towers, providing a low-density living environment compared to most of the sub-district’s peer buildings.
What are the current sale prices for apartments in Marina Heights?
Studio apartments in Marina Heights are currently listed for sale from approximately AED 550,000*. One-bedroom apartments range from approximately AED 800,000* to AED 1,200,000* depending on floor level, view, and tower. Two-bedroom units in Marina Heights 2 are listed from approximately AED 979,000* to AED 1,200,000* for units of 1,085 to 1,683 square feet. Three-bedroom apartments and five-bedroom penthouses are available by enquiry — pricing for these larger and rarer units varies considerably based on floor, furnishing, and aspect. All figures are indicative at time of writing and should be verified with Address Point Properties for current availability.
What are the current rental prices for apartments in Marina Heights?
Studio apartments in Marina Heights rent from approximately AED 55,000* per annum. One-bedroom apartments currently range from approximately AED 75,000* to AED 100,000* per annum. Two-bedroom apartments rent from approximately AED 110,000* to AED 140,000* per annum. The overall rental range across both towers spans AED 65,000* to AED 140,000* annually for residential apartments, with penthouses commanding significantly higher rents depending on the lease terms. Furnished units and high-floor apartments with marina views are typically priced above these ranges. Payment is usually structured across two to four cheques per year.
What makes Marina Heights different from other Marina Square towers?
Three factors consistently distinguish Marina Heights in Marina Square. First, the six-unit-per-floor design limits the number of neighbours sharing each lift lobby and floor, creating a quieter and more private living environment than towers with eight to twelve units per floor. Second, the development spans the widest unit-type range in the sub-district — from studios to five-bedroom penthouses with private pools — within a single twin-tower complex. Third, the dual-tower structure provides a meaningful depth of inventory in both the sale and rental markets, with the two towers offering slightly different completion dates, interior specifications, and price points that suit different buyer profiles. Marina Heights also benefits from beach access among its listed amenities — less common in Marina Square than swimming pool access alone.
What schools are near Marina Heights?
Playhouse Nursery — operating the UK EYFS curriculum — is a short walk through Marina Square. Hummingbird Nursery and Mosaic Nursery are within a five-to-ten-minute drive. Repton School Abu Dhabi — offering British curriculum from Foundation Stage to Year 13 — is approximately ten to eleven minutes by car. Nord Anglia International School is similarly close. For higher education, Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi is on the island, and NYU Abu Dhabi is ten to fifteen minutes away on Saadiyat Island. The school cluster is one of the primary reasons families with children consistently choose Marina Square — and Marina Heights specifically — over towers in other parts of Al Reem Island.
What healthcare facilities are accessible from Marina Heights?
Reem Hospital on Al Reem Island offers 24-hour emergency and specialist care and is approximately ten minutes from Marina Heights by car. Burjeel Day Surgery Centre on the island provides outpatient and specialist services. Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi on Al Maryah Island — one of the most advanced hospitals in the region — is five to eight minutes by car. NMC Royal Hospital on the mainland is within fifteen minutes. This combination of on-island and nearby mainland healthcare facilities covers acute, specialist, outpatient, and emergency needs for Marina Heights residents comprehensively.
Are the Marina Heights towers pet-friendly?
Yes. Both Marina Heights 1 and Marina Heights 2 are designated pet-friendly, consistent with the wider Marina Square community standard. Residents with dogs, cats, and other domestic animals are accommodated in the complex. The proximity of Reem Central Park — with open green space, running tracks, and waterfront promenades — makes Marina Heights and Marina Square one of the most practical addresses in Abu Dhabi for pet owners who value convenient outdoor exercise options. Specific breed or size restrictions, if applicable, should be confirmed with the building management or landlord at the time of enquiry.
How does Marina Heights fit into the Marina Square community?
Marina Heights sits at the centre of Marina Square’s residential fabric, flanked by other established towers and set within a fully built-out, pedestrian-friendly sub-district with comprehensive retail, dining, and nursery provision within walking distance. The fourteen-tower Marina Square precinct houses approximately 8,500 residents across 3,440 residential units — a population density that sustains a lively community atmosphere while remaining quieter and more residential in character than Abu Dhabi’s more urban neighbourhoods. For buyers and tenants comparing Marina Heights to other towers in the sub-district — including Tala Tower, MAG 5 Residences, or Marina Bay Tower — Address Point Properties can provide a detailed comparative analysis of pricing, amenities, and availability across all Marina Square options.
Summary
Marina Heights stands out in Marina Square for two reasons that are difficult to replicate elsewhere in the sub-district: a six-unit-per-floor layout that delivers genuine residential privacy, and a unit range that spans from entry-level studios to extraordinary five-bedroom penthouses with private rooftop pools. That breadth of offering — across two 43-storey towers with separate completion dates, different interior specifications, and varied price points — means Marina Heights can accommodate almost every buyer and renter profile that Al Reem Island attracts.
Both towers are fully operational, freehold, and pet-friendly in one of Abu Dhabi’s most mature waterfront communities. For current listings across studios, one-, two-, three-bedroom apartments, and penthouses in Marina Heights 1 and Marina Heights 2, contact Address Point Properties.
