Sei Saadiyat Payment Plan
Sei Saadiyat by Aldar is offered on a 50/50 payment plan: a 5% down payment, 45% payable in scheduled instalments during construction and 50% payable on handover.
How the 50/50 structure works
The plan splits the purchase across three stages. A 5% down payment secures the residence at booking. A further 45% is then paid in scheduled instalments while the building goes up, completing the first half of the plan. The remaining 50% falls due at handover, expected in Q4 2030.
Payable on booking to secure the selected residence.
Paid in scheduled instalments across the construction period.
The balance falls due when the residence is handed over.

Why the construction linkage matters
Two plans can carry an identical headline split and behave very differently. A schedule tied to construction milestones moves with the build; a schedule tied to calendar dates does not. That distinction governs when money actually leaves an account, and it is set out in the sale and purchase agreement rather than in the headline.
The same applies to the 50% completion balance. A sum of that size falling due at handover is a different commitment from the same sum spread across the build.
Costs that sit outside the plan
An instalment schedule is not the whole cost. Registration fees payable to the Abu Dhabi authorities, the service charge attaching to the building, and any administrative charges set by the developer sit alongside it. Aldar's sales documentation will set out which apply and at what rate.
The starting price of AED 2.95M is confirmed, but the full unit-by-unit price list is not yet published, so the plan can be worked as percentages against a specific unit price only once that schedule is released.

Handover is expected in Q4 2030, subject to the construction schedule and to the official sale and purchase documentation.
The down payment is 5% of the purchase price. With a starting price of AED 2.95M, the minimum down payment on the lowest-priced residence is approximately AED 147,500, subject to the final unit price.
Yes. Government registration fees, the building service charge and any developer administrative charges sit outside the instalment schedule and are set out in Aldar's sales documentation.
