The Views

The Views rises on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah, inside Ardee Downtown: a 5.2 million sqft masterplan with a declared development value above AED 15 billion, conceived as the island's first genuine downtown district, with over 600,000 sqft of mall and retail, a one-kilometre walkable promenade, 350 luxury hotel keys and more than 50 food and beverage outlets.

The island's anchor has a date and a size. Wynn Al Marjan Island opens in September 2027: the first integrated resort with a commercial gaming licence in the UAE, 1,530 keys and a USD 5.7 billion investment. Around it, the island has 8,500 hotel rooms and 18,600 residential units planned across 2.7 million square metres and 7.8 kilometres of beachfront. Ras Al Khaimah closed 2025 with 1.35 million visitors and targets 5 million by 2030, on an A+ stable rating from Fitch and A stable from S&P.

The scheme is two towers arranged around a landscaped podium, with townhouses opening directly onto the pool deck. 616 residences in total: 272 studios, 288 one-bedroom and 56 two-bedroom apartments, a deliberately compact mix, which on a tourism-led island works better both in letting and resale.

Prices start at AED 888,000 for a studio, AED 1.30 million for one bedroom and AED 2.085 million for two, across areas from 368 to 1,082 sqft. The plan is a 50/50 with three years post-handover: 10% on booking, 10% within 45 days, 10% at the twelfth month, 10% at the twenty-fourth, 10% on completion, and the remaining 50% in quarterly instalments spread over three years after handover, expected in the fourth quarter of 2029. The structure moves half the price to a point where the property is already delivered, and potentially already earning.

Inside there is a fitness centre, a residents' wellness area, a resort-style family pool and a garden pool, fine dining with a restaurant and bar, an events room, social spaces, retail, concierge, valet service, round-the-clock security and EV charging points. Finishes follow a calm palette of limestone, oak and soft greige: limestone-look porcelain in 1500x750 format, taupe laminate kitchens with travertine-look surfaces, satin beige marble bathroom countertops, and Palermo oak laminate doors and joinery.

Ardee Developments carries a declared portfolio of more than AED 15 billion across 5.2 million sqft, all on Al Marjan Island. The company grows out of the entrepreneurial path of Romeo Abdo, begun in 1998 across telecoms, banking, insurance and real estate, and works with four international partners: Accor, Pelli Clarke & Partners, DP Architects and Mirage. Its leadership comes from Emaar, Meraas, Nakheel, Omniyat and Majid Al Futtaim.
