Object 1 has announced its first residential development in Abu Dhabi, A1LA Residence, located on Al Reem Island. The project will comprise 171 units, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a limited collection of two- and three-bedroom duplexes across 17 residential floors. A1LA Residence spans approximately 247,022 sqft of built-up area, with handover scheduled for Q4 2028.
The development is designed around three levels of amenities, including a sky pool on the 17th floor, cinema, clubhouse, gym, yoga and pilates room, BBQ area, games room, kids’ play areas, outdoor sports zones, and landscaped social spaces, creating a more layered offering for modern urban living.
The launch forms part of Object 1’s wider Abu Dhabi strategy, following the developer’s acquisition of four waterfront plots on Al Reem Island spanning more than 2 million sqft, with a combined project value of AED 4.5 billion.
Tatiana Tonu, CEO of Object 1, says, “Our decision to enter Abu Dhabi is based on long-term conviction. We are not approaching the Emirate as an opportunistic market cycle play, but as a developer committed to building residential projects that hold their value over time, serve real communities, and reflect the standards of a capital that is planning decades ahead. A1LA Residence brings together a proven location, clear market fundamentals, and a development strategy grounded in reliability, quality, and long-term relevance. As Abu Dhabi advances under Economic Vision 2030, we see strong alignment between the emirate’s direction and the kind of projects we want to deliver.”
