The Source by Aldar Properties is a different kind of residential project on Saadiyat Island—a wellness-focused residential development. Instead of focusing just on luxury finishes and water views, this one is built around wellness—physical health, mental wellbeing, the whole package. It’s located within Saadiyat Grove, which is the mixed-use district in the heart of Abu Dhabi's cultural district, placing residents moments away from iconic attractions like the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Zayed National Museum.
The Source is not just a building with a gym and a swimming pool, t’s designed from the ground up to support a healthier lifestyle. The developers brought in specialists to think about materials, colours, airflow, and even the landscaping—everything is meant to reduce stress and promote wellbeing. This approach embodies wellness living with a holistic lifestyle that integrates physical and mental health features. The project is split into two phases: The Source I has 204 apartments, and The Source II, launched later, adds another 148 units. The Source II is an eight-storey building with 146 apartments, emphasizing natural tones and high-quality finishes. Both sit within walking distance of the Cultural District’s main attractions and the retail promenade at Saadiyat Grove.
The project offers a variety of unit options, including 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, with some two-bedroom units including a maid’s room. The layouts are open-plan, with the living and dining areas flowing into each other, and floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto balconies that face either the Cultural District or the landscaped podium. The developers offer two interior finish themes—one light, one dark—so buyers can pick the one that suits their taste.
