About Al Reef Downtown

Al Reef Downtown is developed by Manazel, a prominent name in the UAE real estate sector. The project’s development started in phases, with 90% completed by 2012 and full completion by 2013. Its strategic placement at the centre of Al Reef makes it easily accessible and central to key facilities.

The residential offering here is strictly apartments, with no villas. This ensures a dense, walkable, and urban-style living experience. The community’s structure of 46 buildings and 1,818 units provides a variety of living options ranging from studios to 3-bedroom flats. These homes come with a mix of modern design and practical layouts, ideal for residents looking for an affordable yet well-connected home.

The development includes not just residential buildings but also social, commercial, and retail spaces. This makes Al Reef Downtown a self-sufficient neighbourhood with all essential amenities within reach. The presence of supermarkets, schools, clinics, and recreational facilities within close proximity is a major convenience for its residents.

With access to Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Road and a 9-minute drive to Abu Dhabi International Airport, Al Reef Downtown is logistically well-positioned. It strikes a balance between a quiet suburban lifestyle and proximity to key leisure and business districts like Masdar City and Yas Island.
