The Source by Aldar at Saadiyat Island

Payment Plan

The Source is available on a 60/40 payment plan, a structure that is well-calibrated to the Q3 2026 possession timeline and that makes the financial commitment accessible and manageable for both buyers and investors planning around a near-term delivery date.

10% of the price is required to book, and 50% of the purchase price is paid during the construction phase from launch through to Q3 2026 possession, spread across milestone-linked instalments that correspond to verified progress on the development. Given the near-term possession date, the construction phase payment period is more compressed than typical off-plan projects with possession dates 3 to 4 years out, which means the financial commitment moves more efficiently toward the handover point rather than being distributed across a prolonged construction timeline.

The remaining 40% is due at handover in Q3 2026. For buyers planning to occupy The Source as their primary or secondary residence, the 40% handover payment arrives at the moment the apartment is ready to move into, aligning the second and final payment with the beginning of the residential experience the purchase was made for. For investors, the 40% handover payment coincides with the point at which the apartment can be placed with a tenant and begin generating rental income within a Saadiyat Grove community whose established tenant demand profile makes fast occupancy a realistic planning assumption rather than an optimistic projection.

The starting price of AED 2.3 million for a 1 bedroom apartment of 861 square feet with a wellness-centred specification in the Saadiyat Grove community on Saadiyat Island positions The Source at a price point that represents genuine value within the current Saadiyat apartment market, particularly given the near-term possession date that removes the extended waiting period and construction-phase uncertainty that typically accompanies off-plan purchases at this address level.

The Q3 2026 possession date is the feature of The Source that most significantly changes the nature of the buying decision for buyers who have been evaluating Saadiyat Island options and finding the construction timelines of most projects extending their decision horizon further than they want to commit to. Q3 2026 is close enough to plan around specifically, to make living and investment arrangements based on, and to hold with confidence given Aldar’s track record on Saadiyat Island and within Saadiyat Grove specifically.
