ALDAR LAUNCHES THE ROW SAADIYAT IN ABU DHABI’S CULTURAL DISTRICT

Aldar Properties has announced The Row Saadiyat, a lifestyle and residential quarter designed by BIG with interiors by Kettle Collective. Located in Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Cultural District – within walking distance of the Zayed National Museum, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Guggenheim, and upcoming Natural History Museum – The Row Saadiyat comprises seven residential buildings arranged around a central linear spine. This spine creates a seamless visual and spatial connection between a mosque at one end and the Zayed National Museum on the other, offering residents unobstructed vistas that celebrate the district’s cultural icons. Combining vibrant street life with calm, private spaces above, The Row Saadiyat’s ground floors will host dining, wellness, and lifestyle outlets, while amenities include kids’ clubs, a pet spa, a co-working lounge, and a wellbeing club open to residents and the wider community. The mosque, also designed by BIG, blends Emirati vernacular with Saadiyat’s contemporary architecture, featuring a prayer hall that aligns with Mecca and an upper form that orients toward the Zayed Museum. A spiraling ramp connects these elements, creating a fully accessible roofscape and marking the first mosque of its kind inspired by the Malwiya form. The first phase of sales for 315 one- to three-bedroom homes in The Row Saadiyat opens on November 1st.
