Oceanscape — Building Guide | Shams Abu Dhabi, Al Reem Island

 

Overview

Oceanscape is a waterfront twin-tower residential and mixed-use development by DAMAC Properties, located in Shams Abu Dhabi on Al Reem Island. The complex sits on Al Oud Street, directly between the two main access bridges that connect Al Reem Island to the Abu Dhabi mainland, and faces the man-made canal — giving residents direct water views from the majority of its 29 residential floors. The development was completed in 2009, making it one of the earliest delivered projects on Al Reem Island and one of the first major DAMAC Properties projects in Abu Dhabi.

The two towers are connected by a three-level podium that houses retail boutiques, covered parking, and the building’s leisure amenities, creating a self-contained mixed-use environment at street level. The residential component comprises approximately 340 units across 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartment configurations and 4-bedroom townhouses. All units come with private balconies and direct views of the canal and Arabian Gulf. A standout feature for a building of its era is the inclusion of individual smart home technology in each apartment — an early adoption in the Abu Dhabi residential market that gave Oceanscape a technological edge over most competing towers built around the same period.

More than 15 years since its completion, Oceanscape has established itself as one of the most recognisable and consistently traded buildings in Shams Abu Dhabi. Its combination of established waterfront positioning, DAMAC’s design quality, a varied product mix that includes the relatively rare 4-bedroom townhouse format, and a pet-friendly policy — unusual among Abu Dhabi towers — give it a distinctive market identity that newer buildings in the sub-community have not fully replicated.

Location and Setting

Oceanscape occupies one of the most strategically positioned plots in Shams Abu Dhabi. It stands alongside Al Oud Street — the primary access corridor through the Shams precinct — and sits between Al Reem Island’s two main bridges to the mainland, meaning residents can exit the island efficiently from either end. The building directly overlooks the man-made canal that runs through the Shams development and, from upper floors, delivers unobstructed views across the Arabian Gulf toward Abu Dhabi’s city skyline and Al Maryah Island.

Abu Dhabi Mall and Al Maryah Island’s financial district sit directly opposite Oceanscape across the water — close enough to be visible from the upper residential floors. The Galleria on Al Maryah Island, which houses over 400 retail outlets, multiple dining options, and a cinema complex, is approximately 15 minutes by car. Abu Dhabi’s Central Business District is reachable in around 10–15 minutes. Saadiyat Island, home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, NYUAD, and several beaches, is roughly 10 kilometres away. Abu Dhabi International Airport is approximately 32 kilometres from the building — typically 30–35 minutes by car.

Reem Central Park — one of Al Reem Island’s most-used community amenities, with a beach, sports courts, a skate park, and a canal promenade — is a one-minute drive or a short walk from the building. Within the same walkable radius, residents have immediate access to the Shams Marina promenade, Shams Boutik Mall, and a range of ground-floor cafes and restaurants within Oceanscape’s own podium. Other Al Reem Island districts — including City of Lights and Marina Square — are within a five-minute drive, making Oceanscape a well-connected base for residents who work or socialise across different parts of the island.

Property Types and Floor Plans

Oceanscape offers four primary residential configurations across five distinct floor-plan types, covering a size range of approximately 676 sq ft for the most compact 1-bedroom up to over 3,000 sq ft for the 4-bedroom townhouses. All units are finished to DAMAC’s quality standards with contemporary interiors, fully fitted kitchens, built-in wardrobes, and individual smart home control systems — a feature that allows residents to manage lighting, temperature, security, and entertainment from a central in-unit panel. Every apartment and townhouse has a private balcony or terrace with canal or sea views.

1-Bedroom Apartments (Types 1 and 2)

There are two 1-bedroom floor-plan variants in Oceanscape, both of which include two bathrooms — a configuration more common in 2-bedroom units in many other buildings. This reflects the generally larger unit sizes in the complex relative to mid-market peers. Floor areas for 1-bedroom units range from approximately 676 sq ft to around 1,212 sq ft depending on the specific layout, floor level, and whether a study or additional space is incorporated. The larger 1-bedroom formats on upper floors are particularly popular with tenants and investors who want the financial exposure of a 1-bedroom entry price with significantly more living space than a typical 1-bedroom unit in Shams Abu Dhabi. Balconies face the canal or the Gulf, and kitchen and living areas are designed as part of an integrated open-plan layout. One covered parking space is allocated to all 1-bedroom units.

2-Bedroom Apartments (Type 4)

Two-bedroom units in Oceanscape cover floor areas of approximately 1,191 sq ft to 1,500 sq ft and come with four bathrooms — again, a specification more generous than the typical 2-bedroom offering in Shams Abu Dhabi. Each unit includes a separate laundry area, a fully fitted kitchen, an open living and dining space, and a balcony with canal or sea views. The four-bathroom count includes an en-suite in the master bedroom, a second full bathroom, and two additional facilities — a configuration that works well for families and shared occupancy alike. Two covered underground parking spaces are allocated. The 2-bedroom segment represents the highest volume of both sales and rental activity in the building and accounts for the largest proportion of the roughly 340 total units.

3-Bedroom Apartments (Type 5)

Three-bedroom units range from approximately 1,453 sq ft to around 2,400 sq ft, with the largest configurations on upper floors delivering significantly more space than most 3-bedroom apartments in comparable Shams Abu Dhabi towers. Each unit includes five bathrooms — including a maid’s bathroom in many configurations — an open-plan or semi-closed kitchen, a large living and dining area, and a double-aspect balcony or wraparound terrace on certain upper-floor units. The additional bathroom count and generous floor areas make 3-bedroom Oceanscape units popular with larger families and with tenants who specifically seek a premium-specification property at a price point below full luxury. Two parking spaces are standard.

4-Bedroom Townhouses (Type 3)

The 4-bedroom townhouses are the most distinctive product in the building. Spanning approximately 2,700 sq ft to over 3,058 sq ft across multiple internal levels, they include six bathrooms, dedicated maid’s quarters, direct private access to allocated parking, and expansive terraces that are significantly larger than any apartment balcony in the complex. The townhouse format is relatively rare within Shams Abu Dhabi towers — most buildings in the sub-community are pure apartment blocks — and Oceanscape’s inclusion of this product type gives it a more varied buyer and tenant base, attracting families who want villa-scale space in a managed, high-rise community setting with all the security and amenity access that entails.

Amenities and Facilities

Oceanscape’s podium houses a substantial amenity programme for a building completed in 2009. The three-level podium structure connects both towers and contains the bulk of the shared leisure, retail, and parking infrastructure. The full amenity list includes:

  • Large outdoor swimming pool with dedicated sun deck and landscaped surroundings
  • Jacuzzi
  • Private gymnasium and health club with cardiovascular equipment and free weights
  • Children’s playroom (indoor) with supervised activity space
  • Shaded outdoor children’s play area
  • Audio-visual entertainment centre
  • Double-height lobby with guest lounge — suitable for informal business meetings or social gatherings
  • Illuminated open pathways and landscaped garden areas throughout the podium
  • Three levels of ground-floor retail boutiques accessible to residents and the public
  • Covered parking on ground, first, and second floors
  • 24/7 security personnel and CCTV monitoring of all common areas
  • 24-hour concierge service at the front desk
  • High-speed passenger and service elevators
  • In-unit smart home technology (individual to each apartment — not a shared system)
  • Pet-friendly building policy

The smart home system deserves particular mention. Installed as standard across all units at the time of construction, it allows individual control of climate, lighting, and security from a central panel within the apartment. While smart home features have become more common in newer Abu Dhabi developments, Oceanscape’s decision to include them in a building completed in 2009 was ahead of its time and remains a genuine differentiator for technology-conscious tenants and buyers. The pet-friendly policy is equally notable: many Abu Dhabi residential towers prohibit or restrict pets in common areas, and Oceanscape’s permissive stance on this front makes it consistently popular with residents who own dogs or cats.

Schools and Education

Oceanscape’s position near the heart of Shams Abu Dhabi places it within easy reach of several well-regarded educational institutions. Repton School Abu Dhabi — one of the most established British-curriculum schools in the emirate, rated ‘Very Good’ by ADEK and accepting students from Foundation Stage 1 through Year 13 — is approximately a two-minute drive from the building. The Repton School bus stop, served by Abu Dhabi public bus routes 67, 71, and 73, is within a two-minute walk of Oceanscape’s entrance, providing a convenient option for families without personal transport. Repton serves as a co-educational school and operates across campuses that cater to different year groups.

For younger children, Maple Bear Nursery is within a two-minute drive and operates under the Canadian early childhood education framework, with programmes covering infants through to pre-kindergarten age. Hummingbird Early Learning Centre — which offers five programmes from baby care through Foundation Stage 2 for children up to approximately four years old — is reachable in around four minutes by car. GEMS World Academy Abu Dhabi, an IB-curriculum international school, is approximately 3.7 kilometres from the building. Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, offering French higher-education programmes, is roughly three kilometres away. The breadth of educational options within a short distance makes Oceanscape particularly well-suited to families with children across multiple age groups.

Healthcare

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, one of the region’s most respected multi-disciplinary hospitals and the UAE partner of the globally recognised Cleveland Clinic brand, is approximately 4.3 kilometres from Oceanscape — roughly a 10-minute drive via the mainland bridges. The hospital covers a comprehensive range of specialist services including cardiology, oncology, neurology, and orthopaedics. Burjeel Hospital, another major private hospital serving Abu Dhabi residents, is approximately 5.4 kilometres away and accessible in around 10–12 minutes. Burjeel Day Surgery Centre on Al Reem Island is the closest on-island medical facility for routine procedures and outpatient specialist consultations. Pharmacies including those within Shams Boutik Mall are within walking distance of the building for everyday pharmaceutical needs.

Transport and Connectivity

Oceanscape occupies an especially well-connected position for a building on Al Reem Island. Sitting between the island’s two main access bridges, residents can choose which bridge to use based on their destination — one connects directly toward Abu Dhabi city’s central grid, the other toward Al Maryah Island and the financial district. This dual-bridge access is a practical advantage over buildings positioned further north or south within Shams Abu Dhabi, where one bridge effectively dominates the exit route.

By car, Abu Dhabi’s Central Business District is typically a 10-minute drive; Al Maryah Island is approximately eight minutes; Abu Dhabi Mall is effectively across the water and reachable in under 10 minutes. Yas Island with its entertainment and leisure venues is around 30 minutes by car. Abu Dhabi International Airport is approximately 32 kilometres — typically a 30–35-minute journey depending on traffic.

Public transport from Oceanscape is more accessible than from many other Shams Abu Dhabi buildings. The Repton School Bus Stop — the nearest public bus stop — is a two-minute walk from the entrance and serves routes 67, 71, and 73. Taxis and ride-hailing services (Careem and Uber) are readily available in the Shams precinct. For those who prefer to travel by water, the PSI listing for the building also notes historical water taxi access, though this service is subject to availability and route scheduling.

Shopping, Dining, and Attractions

Residents of Oceanscape benefit from on-site retail directly within the building’s podium: three levels of boutiques and food and beverage outlets at canal level and ground floor are accessible without leaving the complex. Shams Boutik Mall — the principal lifestyle retail centre within the Shams precinct, housing a supermarket, boutique retail, a bank branch, pharmacies, and a range of cafes and restaurants — is approximately a four-minute drive and also accessible on foot through the Shams promenade network.

For larger grocery runs, Dikkan Saifan, Almaya Mart, Lulu Express Fresh Market, and Waitrose are all accessible within two to six minutes by car. Reem Mall, one of Abu Dhabi’s newer large-format centres with a cinema, a snow park, and extensive dining, is approximately three kilometres away. The Galleria on Al Maryah Island — Abu Dhabi’s premium waterfront retail destination — is approximately 15 minutes by car and offers a significantly larger selection of luxury brands and dining options.

Reem Central Park is the building’s most valued nearby amenity for outdoor recreation. A one-minute drive or short walk away, the park features a city beach section, a canal promenade, a skate park, tennis courts, basketball and football pitches, open green lawns for picnics and exercise, and dogs are permitted in designated areas — relevant given Oceanscape’s pet-friendly policy. The Shams Marina waterfront is equally accessible on foot, bringing the yacht club, beach club, waterfront cafes, and the luxury hotel within a few minutes’ stroll.

Sale Prices

Oceanscape has maintained an active secondary sales market since its 2009 completion, with pricing that reflects both the building’s premium waterfront positioning within Shams Abu Dhabi and the broader price appreciation that has taken hold across Al Reem Island over recent years. The building’s relatively large unit sizes — particularly the 1-bedroom apartments, which are larger than typical 1-bedroom units in competing buildings — mean that price-per-square-foot comparisons can sometimes make Oceanscape appear more expensive per listing than it actually is per square foot of living space.

1-bedroom apartments in Oceanscape are advertised from approximately AED 660,000* at the lower end to around AED 1,500,000* for the largest high-floor configurations, with the majority of active 1-bedroom listings clustered in the AED 750,000*–AED 1,000,000* range. Average asking price across 1-bedroom stock in the building is approximately AED 800,000*. Two-bedroom apartments are listed from approximately AED 1,200,000* to AED 1,700,000*, with the most active listings in the AED 1,200,000*–AED 1,500,000* range. The overall property price range in Oceanscape extends to AED 3,150,000*, covering the 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom townhouse inventory. For current 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom asking prices, contact Address Point Properties directly for up-to-date listings.

Oceanscape is a freehold development, available to all nationalities. Units at AED 2,000,000* or above qualify for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa. For current pricing and available inventory across both towers, contact Address Point Properties.

Rental Prices

Rental demand in Oceanscape has been consistent since completion, with the building attracting a stable mix of professional singles, couples, and small families who prioritise waterfront views, smart home convenience, and direct access to the Shams promenade and park network. The pet-friendly policy and the inclusion of an audio-visual entertainment centre within the building also contribute to longer average tenancies relative to some comparable buildings.

Currently, at the time of writing, 1-bedroom apartments in Oceanscape rent from approximately AED 73,000* per year at the lower end to around AED 90,000* per year for mid-to-upper-floor units with canal or sea views. Furnished or premium upper-floor 1-bedroom units are occasionally listed as high as AED 120,000* per year. Trends data* shows an overall average asking rent across all unit types in the building of approximately AED 58,000* per year, starting from AED 49,990* — this average reflects the full mix of stock including smaller and lower-floor units. Rental listing data for 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units was limited in current search results; for up-to-date 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom rental pricing, contact Address Point Properties. The 4-bedroom townhouses are negotiated individually given their rarity within the building and significantly larger floor plates.

Most landlords in Oceanscape structure tenancies as one or two cheques. Furnished units achieve a clear premium over unfurnished equivalents, particularly for 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments that attract corporate tenants on 6-to-12-month placements. For current available rentals across both towers, all enquiries should be made through Address Point Properties.

Investment Case

Oceanscape’s investment case rests on a combination of factors that are difficult to replicate in newer buildings: a waterfront plot within Shams Abu Dhabi that places it between the island’s two bridges; a DAMAC-quality specification that has aged well; unit sizes that are larger than the Shams Abu Dhabi average, particularly in the 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom segments; and a suite of differentiating features — smart home technology, pet-friendly policy, townhouse product, and on-site boutique retail — that give it enduring tenant appeal. Indicative gross rental yields sit at approximately 7.3%* per year based on available data*, above the Al Reem Island mid-tier apartment benchmark of 6%–7.5%* and positioning Oceanscape as one of the stronger-yielding established buildings in the Shams sub-community.

The building’s age — it was delivered in 2009 — is a double-edged consideration. On one hand, it means the common areas and some finishes are older than competing buildings completed in 2013 or later. On the other hand, it means there is a long and transparent transaction history available to buyers, and service charge levels and building management performance are well-established and verifiable. Buyers who conduct proper due diligence — reviewing service charge accounts, building maintenance history, and strata management records — have a much clearer picture of ongoing running costs than they would in a recently delivered building still in its first ownership cycle.

The broader Al Reem Island mid-tier market continued to attract strong investor interest in H1 2025 according to Bayut’s market data, with mid-tier apartment prices recording growth of between 2% and 27% compared to H2 2024. Oceanscape’s secondary market pricing reflects this trend. For investors comparing options across the island, Meera Towers offers a newer Aldar-built alternative at a similar price point, while Mangrove Place offers an older but architecturally distinctive product across the Shams sub-community. The full comparison of available stock and current pricing across all buildings is best made through Address Point Properties.

How Oceanscape Compares to Nearby Buildings

Within Shams Abu Dhabi, Oceanscape’s most direct competitors are Mangrove Place, Meera Towers, Pixel Tower, Reflection Tower, and Leaf Tower. Mangrove Place (2013) offers a distinctive staggered-terrace design with townhouses and a penthouse but lacks smart home technology and the pet-friendly policy. Meera Towers (2018) is a newer Aldar-developed product with eight floor-plan layouts and park-side positioning, but does not offer townhouses or the same unit-size generosity in the 1-bedroom range. Pixel Tower is more recent and targets a younger, design-conscious buyer profile. Reflection and Leaf Towers offer slimmer floor plates with different view corridors.

Oceanscape’s clearest competitive advantages over its Shams neighbours are the 4-bedroom townhouse product, the larger-than-average unit sizes in every bedroom category, smart home technology as a standard feature, and the pet-friendly policy. Its primary competitive disadvantage relative to Meera Towers and some newer buildings is its age — common areas are older, and some units will show wear depending on tenancy history. Buyers comparing Oceanscape against buildings in other Al Reem Island sub-districts — such as Tala Tower in Marina Square, or Horizon Towers in City of Lights — will find broadly comparable pricing with differences in community environment, commute patterns, and amenity access. Within Marina Square specifically, MAG 5 Residences, Marina Bay Tower, and Marina Heights are worth comparing for buyers open to the eastern end of the island. The Landmark and Hydra Avenue in City of Lights round out the mid-market comparison set for buyers with flexibility on sub-district.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who developed Oceanscape and when was it completed?

Oceanscape was developed by DAMAC Properties, one of the UAE’s largest private real estate developers, best known for premium residential projects across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and internationally. The development was completed in 2009, making it one of the first major residential projects to be delivered on Al Reem Island and one of DAMAC Properties’ earliest significant developments in Abu Dhabi. The building consists of two 35-floor towers connected by a three-level podium and contains approximately 340 residential units across 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments and 4-bedroom townhouses.

What makes Oceanscape different from other buildings in Shams Abu Dhabi?

Several features distinguish Oceanscape within the Shams Abu Dhabi building stock. First, the 4-bedroom townhouse product — which spans over 3,000 sq ft across multiple internal levels with six bathrooms, a maid’s room, and direct parking access — is not available in most Shams apartment towers. Second, the unit sizes across all bedroom categories are larger than the sub-community average, particularly in the 1-bedroom range where units extend to over 1,200 sq ft. Third, individual smart home control technology was installed in every unit at the time of original construction in 2009 — a feature that was ahead of the market at the time and remains a practical differentiator. Fourth, Oceanscape operates a pet-friendly policy, which is not universal across Abu Dhabi residential towers and consistently attracts a pool of tenants who own pets. Finally, three levels of on-site retail boutiques within the podium add a commercial animation to the building that most purely residential towers in the area lack.

Is Oceanscape freehold and who can buy?

Yes, Oceanscape is a freehold development, which means ownership is available to all nationalities including expatriates and non-residents. This makes it accessible to the full range of international buyers active in the Abu Dhabi property market. Purchasers buying a unit at AED 2,000,000* or above may be eligible for the UAE 10-year Real Estate Golden Visa, subject to standard criteria set by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship. This threshold currently captures the upper end of the 2-bedroom range and the majority of 3-bedroom and townhouse units. For buyers below this threshold, standard freehold ownership rights apply. Address Point Properties can advise on current eligibility requirements.

What are current sale prices in Oceanscape?

Current at the time of writing: 1-bedroom apartments are advertised from approximately AED 660,000* at the lower end up to around AED 1,500,000* for the largest high-floor units, with the main active cluster in the AED 750,000*–AED 1,000,000* range and an average of approximately AED 800,000*. Two-bedroom apartments are listed from approximately AED 1,200,000* to AED 1,700,000*, with the most active listings in the AED 1,200,000*–AED 1,500,000* range. The overall property price range in Oceanscape extends to AED 3,150,000*. Specific 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom asking prices are best confirmed directly through Address Point Properties, as listings in those categories are more limited in volume and vary significantly by floor and condition. Actual prices depend on floor level, view aspect, unit condition, furnishing, and individual negotiation. All figures are indicative.

What are typical rental prices in Oceanscape?

1-bedroom apartments are advertised from approximately AED 73,000* per year at the lower end to around AED 90,000* per year for mid-to-upper-floor units with sea or canal views. Premium furnished 1-bedroom units on higher floors have been listed at up to AED 120,000* per year. Trends data shows an overall average asking rent across all unit types of approximately AED 58,000* per year, starting from AED 49,990* — reflecting the full mix of stock including smaller and lower-floor units. For current 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom rental pricing, contact Address Point Properties directly, as live listings for those categories were limited at the time of writing. The 4-bedroom townhouses are negotiated individually. Furnished units in all categories command a premium over unfurnished equivalents.

Is Oceanscape pet-friendly?

Yes. Oceanscape operates a pet-friendly building policy — a feature that is far from universal across Abu Dhabi’s residential towers. Residents can keep pets including dogs and cats in their apartments, and the building’s nearby access to Reem Central Park — where dogs are permitted in designated areas — makes the overall living environment genuinely practical for pet owners. This policy contributes to longer average tenancy durations in the building: pet owners are typically harder to relocate once settled, and landlords benefit from the reduced vacancy and turnover that accompanies this tenant profile. It is always advisable for prospective tenants with pets to confirm current building management rules with their broker, as policies can be subject to management discretion.

What does the smart home system in Oceanscape include?

Each residential unit in Oceanscape was fitted with an individual smart home control system at the time of original construction in 2009. The system provides centralised in-unit control of climate, lighting, security, and audio-visual entertainment functions from a single panel within the apartment. This gives residents a level of home automation comfort that was significantly above-market for a building of its era and remains a practical convenience feature for technology-conscious tenants and buyers. It is worth noting that, as the system has been in place for over 15 years, some units may have upgraded or replaced individual components depending on the owner’s investment in the property. Prospective buyers and tenants should verify the operational status of the smart home system during a viewing.

How is public transport from Oceanscape?

Oceanscape is among the better-connected buildings in Shams Abu Dhabi for public transport access. The Repton School Bus Stop is a two-minute walk from the building’s entrance and serves Abu Dhabi bus routes 67, 71, and 73, connecting residents to the island’s broader bus network and to the mainland. Taxis and ride-hailing services via Careem and Uber are readily available in the Shams precinct at most hours. For residents who drive, the building’s position between the island’s two main bridges provides direct access to multiple mainland routes, making it one of the most efficiently positioned buildings on Al Reem Island for cross-town commuters.

Are there retail shops inside Oceanscape?

Yes. Oceanscape’s three-level podium was designed as a mixed-use development, with retail boutiques on the canal-facing ground level and on the first and second podium floors. These in-building retail units house a combination of shops, cafes, restaurants, and service providers. The retail activation at podium level is one of Oceanscape’s more distinctive features among residential towers in Shams Abu Dhabi: most purely residential buildings in the sub-community have only ground-floor lobby or service facilities, while Oceanscape has a proper retail arcade that adds commercial energy to the building’s street presence. This also provides residents with a short walk to essentials without leaving the building.

How does Oceanscape compare to Meera Towers?

Both Oceanscape and Meera Towers are well-established twin-tower complexes within Shams Abu Dhabi, but they appeal to different buyer and tenant profiles. Meera Towers is newer (2018 vs 2009), Aldar-developed, positioned directly adjacent to Reem Central Park, and offers eight distinct floor-plan layouts within a mid-market price bracket. Oceanscape is older and DAMAC-developed, offers significantly larger unit sizes (particularly in the 1-bedroom range), includes townhouses, is pet-friendly, incorporates smart home technology, and has three levels of on-site retail. Meera Towers tends to attract buyers prioritising park proximity, newer finishes, and Aldar’s brand assurance. Oceanscape attracts buyers and tenants who prioritise space, smart home convenience, townhouse formats, and pet-friendly living. Both deliver indicative gross yields in the 6.5%–7.5%* range, with Oceanscape’s reported average sitting at approximately 7.3%*.

Summary

Oceanscape is one of the most comprehensively specified residential offerings in Shams Abu Dhabi — a DAMAC Properties twin-tower complex completed in 2009 with approximately 340 units spanning 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments and 4-bedroom townhouses, all finished with individual smart home technology, all with balconies and direct canal or sea views, and all within a pet-friendly, mixed-use building that includes three levels of on-site retail. Its waterfront position between Al Reem Island’s two main bridges gives residents unmatched connectivity to the mainland, and its proximity to Reem Central Park, the Shams Marina, and Shams Boutik Mall delivers a quality-of-life environment that justifies its consistent secondary market activity across more than 15 years of operation.

For buyers and investors comparing options across Al Reem Island or the wider Abu Dhabi market, Oceanscape offers a genuinely distinctive profile — larger unit sizes, a rare townhouse format, smart home features, and a pet-friendly policy — that is hard to replicate at a comparable price point in the Shams sub-community. For current listings, pricing, and viewing arrangements, contact Address Point Properties.
