Talay is the first residential release at Marsa Al Saadiyat: 351 standalone villas in two collections on the beach side of Aldar's AED 100 billion district. Talay, 167 villas, hands over in Q4 2029; Talay Beach, 184 villas, in Q2 2031. Four, five and six bedroom homes with expansive layouts and private backyards, a school inside the community, and Talay apartments announced as coming soon. Launch prices: 4 bedroom from AED 13.5M (502 sqm, 5,403 sqft built up, about AED 2,500 per square foot), 5 bedroom from AED 15.5M (582 sqm), 6 bedroom from AED 17.2M (630 sqm). Launch pricing across Talay runs at roughly AED 2,500 to 2,600 per square foot. The payment plan is 50/50: 5% on booking, 5% on 1 March 2027, 1 September 2027 and 1 March 2028, 10% on 1 August 2028, 1 January 2029 and 1 June 2029, and 50% on handover: 20% in the first 18 months, half the price at the keys. Two interior palettes to choose from; standalone villas over two floors with a private garden and covered parking. Floor plans for all six types, Talay and Talay Beach, are in the pack, delivered on WhatsApp after registration. The design draws on Emirati building tradition rather than referencing it: an outdoor majlis pavilion for gathering, an aflaj irrigation system reimagined as a flowing water feature that cools the community, and areesh, woven palm-frond screens by Emirati designer Abdalla Almulla, set into the boundary walls. Families are the point of the location. Five private schools and six nurseries are within a gentle stroll, with NYU Abu Dhabi and Berklee Abu Dhabi minutes away, the beach and a retail hub each within a kilometre, and the whole community gated with 24/7 security. Built to target Estidama 3 Pearl, with a 30% reduction in energy consumption and 40% in water against baseline, recycled and regionally sourced materials, and energy-efficient lighting.
