Overview
Reem Hills is a gated community built on a landscaped man-made hill on Al Reem Island, with luxury villas, townhouses and apartments in one address. It was launched by Q Properties, the development arm of Q Holding, which became Modon Holding in 2024 and now publishes Reem Hills alongside its other Reem Island communities.

Location
Reem Hills sits at the Najmat Abu Dhabi end of Al Reem Island, a short drive from the bridges that link the island to Abu Dhabi island, Al Maryah and the Corniche. The developer puts Reem Hospital three minutes away by car, The Galleria on Al Maryah Island and Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi ten minutes, and Reem Mall a 15-minute walk. Schools, supermarkets and clinics on Al Reem are already open, so daily errands do not depend on crossing a bridge. The sandy beaches inside the community add a shoreline that most Reem addresses do not have.

About the developer
Reem Hills is published by Modon, which lists it among its Reem Island developments with Muheira, Tara Park and Maysan. Modon Holding PSC (formerly Q Holding) was formed in February 2024; in 2025 L'imad Holding Company, wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi Government, acquired an 84.75% stake. The group reported 2025 revenue of AED 13.8 billion and net profit of AED 3.9 billion.
Q Properties launched Reem Hills as its Al Reem Island project before Q Holding was folded into Modon Holding, so the community is now delivered under Modon's name and management. Buyers value the Abu Dhabi Government ownership behind Modon and the fact that one group now runs several Reem Island communities, which keeps standards and after-sales in one hand.
Why this project
- Entry at AED 1.5M for a one-bedroom apartment, published by the developer itself.
- A 50/50 payment plan from the developer, so half the price waits until handover.
- Freehold for all nationalities, and the developer's FAQ confirms that a purchase of AED 2M or more qualifies for a Golden Visa application.
- Villas hand over in Q2 2026 and apartments in Q2 2027, so the community is close to being lived in.
- Amenities on site rather than across the island: mosque, community centre, club house, pool, tennis, jogging trails, beaches and retail.
Master plan & phases
The master plan places villas, townhouses and apartments on and around a landscaped man-made hill, with verdant parkland, a community centre and sandy beaches shared by all residents. Modon does not name phases on its Reem Hills page; the apartments from AED 1.5M are the release currently open for registration, while the villas are the first homes due for handover in Q2 2026. Ask for the plot map and the exact cluster of any unit offered, because the developer publishes no unit areas or phase names.
Unit types, areas & starting prices
Published prices
- 1BR apartment — Reem HillsFrom 1,500,000 AED
The AED 1.5M starting price is for a one-bedroom apartment; villa and townhouse prices and all unit areas are not published by the developer, so request them per unit.
Payment plan
50/50 payment plan
50/50 means half of the price is paid in instalments during construction and the other half at handover; confirm the instalment dates in your sales agreement.
The honest drawbacks
What may not suit you, before you book, with the other side of each point.
Al Reem Island connects to Abu Dhabi island by a handful of bridges, and the morning and evening queues onto them are a known part of Reem life.
CounterweightReem Hills sits at the Najmat end, and the developer places a hospital, two malls and a university within minutes on the island itself, so most daily trips never reach a bridge.
Handover is staggered: villas in Q2 2026 and apartments in Q2 2027, so early residents live next to active construction for a while.
CounterweightThe villa handover comes first, which means the community centre, mosque and parkland are in use before the apartments are delivered.
Al Reem is one of the densest high-rise districts in Abu Dhabi; a hilltop villa here is surrounded by towers, not by open desert or sea like Saadiyat or Yas.
CounterweightThat density is also why the hospital, malls and university are minutes away; the gated hill and the internal beaches are what set the address apart from the towers.
The AED 1.5M entry apartment sits below the AED 2M figure the developer gives for Golden Visa eligibility, so the cheapest unit does not qualify on its own.
CounterweightLarger apartments, townhouses and villas cross that line; we confirm eligibility per unit against the current rules before you book.
Modon publishes no unit areas, phase names or villa prices for Reem Hills, so price per sq ft cannot be compared from the website alone.
CounterweightThe factsheet and floor plan exist per unit; we request them with the price list so the comparison is done on paper before any deposit.
Al Reem has a very deep apartment stock, so a one-bedroom here competes with thousands of resale and rental units across the island.
CounterweightVillas and townhouses on Al Reem are scarce, and that is the part of Reem Hills that has no real competitor on the island.
Amenities & services
Days here run from a jog on the hill trails to a swim, a tennis game or an afternoon on the community's own sandy beach, without getting in the car. The mosque, supermarket, restaurant and retail sit inside the gates, and the club house and community centre give families a place to meet that is not a mall.

Who this project suits
- End-user families: a villa or townhouse with a garden, a school run that stays on the island, and a hospital three minutes away.
- Investors: a one-bedroom from AED 1.5M on a 50/50 plan in Abu Dhabi's most established apartment rental market, with handover in Q2 2027.
- Upgraders already on Al Reem: move from a tower apartment to a gated villa without changing school, office or commute.
- Second-home and Golden Visa buyers: freehold for all nationalities, with the developer stating that purchases of AED 2M or more qualify to apply.
Before you book: points to verify
- Confirm the exact cluster, plot and handover quarter of the unit offered; villas and apartments in Reem Hills hand over a year apart.
- Check that the project and the unit are registered with Abu Dhabi's Department of Municipalities and Transport and that the sale goes through a DMT-approved escrow account.
- Ask for the service-charge estimate per sq ft in writing; gated communities with beaches, pools and a club house carry higher charges than a plain tower.
- Ask which units carry a hill, sea or park premium and how much of the price is the view rather than the home.
- Read the resale clause: how much must be paid before an off-plan unit can be assigned, and what the developer's transfer fee is.

Frequently asked questions
What is the starting price at Reem Hills?
The developer publishes AED 1.5M as the starting price for a one-bedroom apartment. Villa and townhouse prices are not published; request today's price list and we send it per unit.
What unit types are there?
Luxury villas, townhouses and apartments. The developer does not publish bedroom counts or areas, so ask for the floor plan of the specific unit.
When is handover?
Villas are scheduled for Q2 2026 and apartments for Q2 2027, per the developer's FAQ.
What is the payment plan?
The developer offers a 50/50 payment plan: half during construction, half at handover. Instalment dates differ by unit, so confirm the schedule in the sales agreement.
Where is Reem Hills and how is the commute?
On Al Reem Island at Najmat Abu Dhabi. Reem Hospital is three minutes by car, The Galleria and Sorbonne University ten minutes, and Reem Mall a 15-minute walk. Trips to Abu Dhabi island cross the Reem bridges, which are busy at peak hours.
Does Reem Hills qualify for the Golden Visa?
The developer states that any Reem Hills property valued at AED 2M or more qualifies the buyer to apply. Units at or above the current threshold qualify; we confirm per unit.
Is it off-plan or ready?
Off-plan today, with villas the first to hand over in Q2 2026. Buying before handover means a payment plan and construction-stage pricing; buying after means seeing the finished home.
Can expats and foreigners buy, and who is the developer?
Yes. Al Reem is a freehold investment zone and the developer states that all nationalities can fully own at Reem Hills. The project is delivered by Modon Holding, formerly Q Holding, which is majority owned by the Abu Dhabi Government. Service-charge estimates per sq ft are confirmed with the sales advisor.
