ALAIN Breaks Ground on Vida Residences Saadiyat Island, Marking Vida’s First-Ever Branded Residences in Abu Dhabi

ALAIN has officially commenced construction on Vida Residences Saadiyat Island, marking a milestone and the arrival of the first Vida-branded residences in the UAE capital.

The project has reflected strong investor confidence in both ALAIN’s vision and delivery approach and Emaar Hospitality Group’s ability to deliver a unique lifestyle and service quality. The project sell-out further reinforces the continued strength of Abu Dhabi’s premium residential market and the growing appetite for differentiated, amenity-rich developments on Saadiyat Island.

The ceremony took place on-site on Saadiyat Island and was attended by senior leadership from ALAIN and Emaar Hospitality Group, alongside key consultants and project partners. The start of construction signals the transition from concept to delivery and demonstrates tangible progress on one of Saadiyat Island’s most anticipated branded residential projects.

Situated at the heart of Saadiyat Island, residents will benefit from immediate access to cultural landmarks including the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Zayed National Museum and the upcoming Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. The development is also within close proximity to leading educational institutions such as New York University Abu Dhabi, Harrow International School Abu Dhabi and Lycée Louis Massignon, complemented by Saadiyat Island’s pristine beaches and leisure destinations.

Khaled Al Khoori, Managing Director of ALAIN, said, “Breaking ground on Vida Residences Saadiyat Island represents an important milestone for ALAIN and reflects our commitment to delivering distinctive residential destinations shaped by design, community and experience. Vida’s vibrant, contemporary identity complements Saadiyat Island’s continued evolution and we are proud to introduce a development that blends creativity, connectivity and hospitality within one of Abu Dhabi’s most sought-after locations.”

Nicolas Bellaton, Head of Hospitality at Emaar Hospitality Group, added, “Vida Residences Saadiyat Island marks an exciting milestone for the Vida brand as we introduce our first branded residences in Abu Dhabi. The development reflects Vida’s modern, community-driven ethos and reinforces our commitment to creating design-led residential experiences that resonate with a new generation of global residents.”
