Nawayef Park Views: Abu Dhabi’s First Freehold Apartments on Hudayriyat Island

Introduction

Hudayriyat Island’s residential story took a significant turn in December 2024 when Modon Holding launched Nawayef Park Views — the first freehold apartment development on the island. While previous Modon releases on Hudayriyat focused on villas, townhouses, and land plots, Nawayef Park Views opens the island to a wider audience of buyers and investors seeking premium apartment living at a more accessible entry point. With Mediterranean-inspired architecture, panoramic park and sea views, and a rich lifestyle offering built directly into the community, it represents one of the most distinctive off-plan apartment launches in Abu Dhabi in recent years.

What Is Nawayef Park Views?

Nawayef Park Views is a low-rise freehold apartment development by Modon Properties, nestled between the two man-made hills of the Nawayef master community on Hudayriyat Island. The project draws its architectural character from Portuguese and broader Mediterranean design traditions — featuring warm façades, shaded terraces, textured finishes, and a human-scale streetscape that feels more akin to a European coastal village than a conventional Abu Dhabi residential tower.

Rising to ground plus five storeys, the development is deliberately low-rise, preserving the visual openness of its setting and ensuring that residents enjoy unobstructed views of the Arabian Gulf, the Abu Dhabi skyline, and the expansive Nawayef Park directly below.

Unit Types and Sizes

Nawayef Park Views offers a diverse range of apartment configurations to suit different lifestyles and investment strategies:

• 1-bedroom apartments — from 1,044 sqft
• 2-bedroom apartments — mid-range sizes ideal for couples and small families
• 3-bedroom apartments — spacious layouts with private terraces
• 4-bedroom apartments — up to 5,328 sqft, select units featuring home offices and staff quarters

All residences include private balconies or terraces and powder rooms as standard. Larger units are designed with dedicated staff quarters, reflecting the development’s appeal to families seeking full-service island living. Smart layouts maximize natural light and indoor-outdoor connectivity throughout.

Location and Connectivity

Nawayef Park Views occupies one of the most carefully considered positions within the Nawayef master community — set in the valley between Nawayef West and East Hills, surrounded by greenery and just steps from the Nawayef Souq and the beach. The island’s connectivity to the Abu Dhabi mainland via the Hudayriyat Bridge ensures residents are never far from the city’s key destinations:

• Abu Dhabi city center — approximately 20 minutes
• Zayed International Airport — approximately 35 minutes
• Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque — approximately 15 minutes

Beyond its physical location, Nawayef Park Views benefits from the full breadth of Hudayriyat Island’s lifestyle infrastructure — Surf Abu Dhabi, Velodrome Abu Dhabi, Circuit X, Marsana Beach, and a network of cycling and running tracks that span the island.

Community Amenities

Nawayef Park Views is designed around a wellness-first philosophy, with amenities that support an active, balanced daily routine:

• Fully equipped fitness center and yoga studio
• Adult lap pool and children’s pool with splash features
• Shaded green spaces and BBQ areas
• Outdoor cinema and community clubhouse
• Jogging tracks and children’s playgrounds
• Concierge and butler services
• On-site supermarket, cafés, and retail outlets
• Healthcare facilities and 24/7 security

Adjacent to the development sits the Nawayef Souq — a luxury shopping village offering high-end fashion, fine dining, and entertainment — adding a vibrant social dimension to what is already one of the island’s most complete residential addresses.

Investment Details

• Starting price: AED 2 million
• Payment plan: 60/40, including 10% booking deposit
• Handover: Q1 2028
• Ownership: Freehold, open to all nationalities
• Projected ROI: 7–8%

The AED 2 million entry point makes Nawayef Park Views the most accessible freehold opportunity within the Nawayef master community, significantly broadening the buyer profile compared to the villa and plot releases that preceded it. The projected rental yield of 7–8% reflects strong anticipated demand from professionals and families drawn to the island’s growing lifestyle offering, making it equally compelling for investors targeting rental income.

Conclusion

Nawayef Park Views marks a pivotal milestone in Hudayriyat Island’s development — bringing freehold apartment living to an island that had previously been the domain of villas, townhouses, and land plots. With a Mediterranean design identity, a prime location between the Nawayef Hills, strong investment fundamentals, and the full force of Modon’s island-wide masterplan behind it, Nawayef Park Views offers a rare combination of lifestyle quality and long-term value. For investors and end-users entering Abu Dhabi’s off-plan market in 2025 and 2026, it deserves serious consideration.
