Burtville Developments has officially launched its seventh residential project in Abu Dhabi: Bab Al Qasr Canal View Residence 22, a hotel-branded luxury development in a strategic canal-front location of Al Raha Beach. Construction commenced in early July 2025, with handover expected by the second quarter of 2029.
Prime Waterfront Location
Set along the Al Raha Beach canal waterfront, the project benefits from excellent connectivity. Situated at the main entrance to Al Raha Beach, residents will enjoy easy access to Yas Island, Zayed International Airport, and downtown Abu Dhabi, affirming its appeal for families and investors seeking a well‑connected, waterfront address.
Design & Residential Mix
The development comprises three slender, contemporary towers designed to maximize daylight and open views. Across these towers are 242 fully furnished homes, categorized into simplex apartments, duplexes, and sky villas. Tower A houses 96 units, Tower B contains 85, and Tower C includes 61 units. Select apartments also feature panoramic sea views.
Hospitality-Style Amenities
Reflecting its hotel-branded nature, the development integrates a range of high-end lifestyle amenities:
- Pools: Three rooftop infinity pools (one per tower) plus two ground-level pools amid landscaped gardens and private seating zones.
- Services: Optional hospitality offerings such as housekeeping, valet parking, and in-residence dining are available, courtesy of the partnership with Bab Al Qasr Hotel.
- Furnishings: Interiors are curated by The One Furniture, featuring parquet floors, marble finishes, built-in wardrobes, and premium Siemens & Samsung appliances.
Retail & Community Offerings
At ground level, six retail outlets, including a supermarket, pharmacy, separate beauty salons, café, restaurant, and pastry shop, will address daily resident needs.
- Beach & Pool Access: Complimentary five-year access for families (up to six members) to Yas Beach Club facilities.
- Hotel Benefits: Five years of complimentary access to Bab Al Qasr Hotel’s beach and pool, plus exclusive discounts on hotel services.
Strategic Growth in Abu Dhabi’s Real Estate Market
This launch underscores Burtville’s expanding footprint in Abu Dhabi’s fast-growing residential market. Earlier in March 2025, the developer unveiled its first hotel-branded residential project in Masdar City, Bab Al Qasr Resort Residences 18 & 19, a five-hundred-plus unit complex scheduled for completion by Q3 2028. Burtville has emphasized its commitment to combining luxury living with lifestyle experiences and sustainable architecture.
Growth continues across its portfolio: Ville 11 and 12 in Masdar City, as well as Bab Al Qasr Residences 25 and 31 on Yas Bay, are actively under construction.
In June 2025, Burtville also unveiled a live-streaming service allowing buyers and investors to track construction progress at its Masdar and Yas Bay sites in real time, a move the company described as part of its transparency and digital transformation efforts.
Context: Abu Dhabi’s Accelerating Property Landscape
Burtville’s launch aligns with robust market dynamics. In Q1 2025, Abu Dhabi property values increased 7.2% year-on-year, even amid slower sales volume, with rental values climbing 9.0% annually. Villas saw average rents rise by 6.3%, and apartments by 11.6%.
New residential supply was limited; only 279 units were completed (90 apartments and 189 villas), a small share of the nearly 14,000 units planned by the end‑2025. Despite lower off-plan sales, prime projects, especially those that carry a strong brand identity or hospitality tie-in, continue attracting interest from both investors and end-users.
Burtville’s strategy is well timed: targeting high-net-worth buyers and discerning families seeking fully serviced, hotel-branded, waterfront residences. These properties promise not just luxury finishes but a lifestyle, with recourse to private lounges, beach clubs, and concierge services.
With Bab Al Qasr Canal View Residence 22, Burtville adds a refined layer to Abu Dhabi’s real estate palette, bringing together waterfront living, high-end hotel services, and immersive community amenities. Backed by strong demand, competitive rents, and a maturing luxury sector, the project signals confidence in Abu Dhabi’s premium residential market through to 2029.
