River Cove · waterfront apartments, Yas corridor

Guess what AED 1.31M buys on the waterfront.

Q: Is AED 1.31M really the price?

Yes — the genuine from-price for a 1-bedroom, matching ADREC-registered inventory, subject to availability and change. Final prices depend on floor, stack and view.

Q: Does a River Cove apartment come with a Golden Visa?

The entry 1-bedroom does not qualify alone. Property valued at AED 2M+ may make you eligible to apply for long-term UAE residence, subject to ICP criteria — at River Cove that typically means 2-bedroom residences. Never guaranteed; the ICP decides.

Q: What about rental returns?

We do not publish yield or return figures, because nobody can promise them. What is factual: the price list, the payment plan, and what is publicly announced around Al Bahiya.

This. The entry price to a ~38M sq ft Sobha masterplan at Al Bahiya, with payments staged through construction. Minutes from Yas Island and the airport.

Off-plan. Prices subject to availability and change. Madhmoun Permit No. 20260000881726-1046.

The number

The sharpest price on the Yas corridor.

New apartment launches in Abu Dhabi's established island districts start considerably higher. River Cove is the entry tier of the same kind of waterfront address — inside a new Sobha masterplan.

What we won't put on this page: rental yields and future prices. Nobody can promise you those. What's factual is the price list, the payment plan, and what is publicly announced around Al Bahiya — ask for all three.

1BR: from AED 1.31M — the anchor
2BR: from ~AED 2.4M — above the AED 2M Golden Visa threshold: eligible to apply, subject to ICP criteria
1BR & the visa: the entry 1-bedroom does not qualify alone

The plan

The upfront number matters more than the total.

On booking: 5%
During construction: 35%
On handover: 60% · anticipated December 2029

Most first purchases fail on the upfront number, not the total price. River Cove is structured for that reality: staged payments through construction rather than a single cheque.

There is no interest and no agency fee, and you will not need a bank until much later. Payments sit in a regulated project escrow account (Abu Dhabi Law No. 3 of 2015).

The corridor

Yas up the road. The airport minutes away.

Al Bahiya sits on the E10/E12 corridor: Yas Island's parks, golf and F1 weekend up the road, Zayed International Airport minutes away, and the announced Disneyland Abu Dhabi on the same corridor.

Downstairs: 2km waterfront promenade, parks, retail — planned
Yas Island: Theme parks, concerts, F1 — up the road
Announced Disneyland Abu Dhabi: Third-party announced destination — no affiliation

~38M sq ft masterplan · ~60% open & green space · 2 km waterfront promenade · three planned schools · Greg Norman par-3 golf · ~10 min to Yas Island. Figures indicative, subject to confirmation.

Questions

Straight answers

Is AED 1.31M really the price?

Yes. It's the genuine "from" price for a 1-bedroom, matching ADREC-registered inventory, subject to availability and change. Final prices depend on floor, stack and view. Register and today's full price list arrives on WhatsApp.

What's the payment plan?

Staged through construction: a booking amount, instalments while it's built, and a portion at handover. The exact split is being confirmed with the developer — the sales team sends the current schedule with the price list.

Does a River Cove apartment come with a Golden Visa?

Read this carefully, because many ads blur it: the entry 1-bedroom at AED 1.31M does not qualify alone. Property valued at AED 2M+ may make you eligible to apply for long-term UAE residence (Golden Visa), subject to ICP criteria — at River Cove that typically means 2-bedroom residences. Never guaranteed; the ICP decides.

What about rental returns?

We don't publish yield or return figures, because nobody can promise them, and UAE advertising rules prohibit it. What we'll give you instead: the price list, the payment plan, and what's publicly announced around Al Bahiya. Draw your own conclusions.

When is handover?

The anticipated handover date is being confirmed with the developer and will be stated here once verified. The sales team can share the current construction and phasing timeline.

What happens after I register?

The brochure and price list come to you on WhatsApp, and a consultant follows up with floor plans and the payment schedule during working hours (9:00–21:00 GST, seven days). Many buyers complete the whole process remotely; the sales-centre visit is optional.
