Abu Dhabi-based developer Modon has launched Phase 1 of Maysan, a high-end freehold residential community on Reem Island. The project spans over 600,000 square metres and introduces 316 new homes across two distinct districts — marking one of the most anticipated residential launches on the island in 2024.
Mayar District: Abu Dhabi's First Stacked Maisonettes
The Mayar district comprises 132 stacked maisonettes — a residential typology new to Abu Dhabi. Each four-bedroom, four-storey home is designed around a philosophy of indoor-outdoor living, with layouts that open seamlessly toward nature. The district is anchored by a 300-metre scenic spine park with walking trails, positioned as the community's social and recreational centrepiece, drawing families, investors, and individuals seeking a resort-style lifestyle.
Thoraya District: Townhouses Focused on Community Life
The Thoraya district offers 184 townhouses built from premium materials and designed with a contemporary architectural language. Shared amenities include communal barbecue areas, landscaped open spaces, children's play facilities, parks, and a fitness centre — all oriented toward active neighbourhood living.
Masterplan Amenities Across Maysan
Beyond the two districts, the broader Maysan masterplan incorporates a beach, a community centre, a green spine, a linear park, adult and children's pools, a clubhouse, an indoor gym, a multi-purpose sports court, a pet park, a reading pavilion, and a picnic lawn. These features position Maysan as a self-contained lifestyle destination within Reem Island.
What Modon's Leadership Said
Bill O'Regan, Group CEO of Modon Holding, said the project is designed to "deliver communities that enrich the lives of residents and contribute to the long-term growth" of Abu Dhabi.
Ibrahim Al Maghribi, CEO of Modon Real Estate, added: "We are delighted to launch the first phase of Maysan, which marks a new chapter in our efforts to create vibrant, well-designed developments that meet the full spectrum of residents' needs."
Future Phases and Investor Demand
Subsequent phases of Maysan will introduce villas, park-district villas, and beach residences — all larger homes offered in three-to-five bedroom configurations. Demand for Phase 1 was exceptionally strong: the 316 homes sold out on the day of launch, underscoring robust investor confidence in Reem Island freehold property.
Maysan is open to buyers of all nationalities and is expected to attract both end-users and investors looking for freehold exposure in one of Abu Dhabi's most sought-after island addresses.
