Waterfront by Missoni: A Floor-by-Floor Guide to Reem Island's Beachfront Tower
Waterfront by Missoni puts 250 homes on one of Al Reem Island's few direct beachfront plots, with interiors shaped by the Italian fashion house known for its zigzag patterns and bold colour. This guide covers Waterfront by Missoni floor by floor: what each residence type offers, where it sits in the building and who it suits.
A rare beachfront plot on Reem Island
Most of Al Reem Island faces canals or the mainland. Waterfront by Missoni, developed by Emirates Developments in the Shams Abu Dhabi district, has direct beach access on one side and a canal on the other. That gives the tower water views in all four directions, and mangroves, sea and the city skyline are all visible from the upper floors.
The unit mix at a glance
Every residence size below includes its balcony. The building is laid out so that home sizes increase as you go higher. Full layouts are on the Waterfront by Missoni floor plans page:
| Residence | Units | Size (sq ft) | Floors |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom | 61 | 668 – 1,141 | 1 – 10 |
| 2 Bedroom | 135 | 1,105 – 1,821 | 1 – 37 |
| 3 Bedroom | 44 | 2,490 – 2,545 | 11 – 33 |
| 4 Bedroom | 8 | 2,945 – 3,438 | 34 – 37 |
| 5 Bedroom Penthouse | 2 | 4,442 | 38 |
One-bedroom residences (floors 1–10)
The 61 one-bedroom homes are all on the lower ten floors, close to the amenity deck. At up to 1,141 sq ft, the larger layouts are generous for the category. They suit first-time buyers into branded property, professionals working on Reem or Al Maryah Island, and investors looking for the lowest entry price into the Missoni name.
Two-bedroom residences (floors 1–37)
Two-bedrooms make up more than half the building, with 135 homes running almost the full height of the tower. That gives buyers the widest choice of view and floor. A lower-floor unit close to the pool deck will feel very different from one on floor 30 or above looking out to sea. For families and rental investors, this is the most flexible type.
Three-bedroom residences (floors 11–33)
At about 2,500 sq ft, the 44 three-bedroom homes sit in the middle and upper floors, above the lower-level views. They are aimed at families moving up to a larger home, with enough space for a proper dining room and a family terrace.
Four-bedroom residences and penthouses (floors 34–38)
Only eight four-bedroom homes sit on floors 34 to 37, ranging up to 3,438 sq ft. Above them, floor 38 holds just two five-bedroom penthouses of 4,442 sq ft each. With so few of them, these will likely be the most contested homes at launch.
The Missoni design signature
Missoni is known for its colour, texture and pattern, and the interiors bring that into a calmer, livable palette: light oak, warm ivory finishes, bronze details and Missoni Home fabric accents. The Missoni interior design shows the brand's zigzag in the facade and in details such as rugs and soft furnishings, so the effect is noticeable without overwhelming the space.
Amenities on the first-floor deck
Shared facilities, shown in the Waterfront by Missoni lifestyle gallery, are on a landscaped podium deck on the first floor, so residents can get from the lift to the pool in moments:
- Swimming pool with a sun deck facing the water
- Padel court, one of the most popular sports in the UAE right now
- Fitness centre with a studio space
- Kids' room for younger residents
- BBQ area and public terraces for evenings outdoors
- Clubhouse with lounge and bar seating, and a designed arrival lobby
