Nord Lifestyle Development, a boutique luxury real estate developer operating under Goldfield Holding, has launched HENGE Residences, a $136 million (AED 500 million) flagship development on Saadiyat Island.
The project is launched in collaboration with iconic Italian design house HENGE, marking its first entry into the Abu Dhabi real estate market, and is set to roll out a new perspective to luxury residential living in the capital.
Located just 20 minutes from Downtown Abu Dhabi and within close proximity to the Saadiyat Cultural District and NYU Abu Dhabi, HENGE Residences offers convenience, connectivity, and lifestyle. Situated in the heart of Saadiyat Island’s Marina District, the development introduces a new standard of boutique, branded residences that merge contemporary living with artistic expression.
A fusion of craftsmanship, elegance, and curated comfort, HENGE Residences is a limited collection of ten-story branded residences featuring interiors and furnishings exclusively assembled by HENGE’s master artisans. Every element within each home, from bespoke furniture to material selection, is a direct extension of the European designer’s globally celebrated aesthetic language, offering residents an immersive experience in artisanal living.
The project comprises 166 units, including studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as two duplexes, with a total build-up area of over 400,000 sqft. Sales have officially launched, with units available through Nord’s direct channels and an approved network of brokerage partners. Completion is scheduled for the first quarter of 2028.
Designed to elevate the residential experience, HENGE Residences offers a curated selection of lifestyle amenities, including 24×7 security, a padel court, a health club with sauna and steam rooms, a temperature-controlled swimming pool, dedicated children’s pool, indoor and outdoor play areas, smart home automation, and full concierge services.
The development also showcases premium materials that reflect a shared commitment to intentional design integrity and craftsmanship. Selected finishes include natural marble surfaces, sintered stone, natural wood accents, and more, underscoring the project’s bespoke design ethos.
Maher Rahabi CEO Nord Lifestyle Development
“Saadiyat Island is the cultural epicenter of Abu Dhabi, and partnering with a global icon in design allows us to offer a truly differentiated product that complements the island’s vibrancy, architecture, and global ambition. This is the beginning of our story, one built on vision, substance, and human-centered design. We are making a clear statement about the value of creativity and hand-finished quality in every detail. We don’t mass-produce; what we’re creating is bold, soulful, and a true reflection of Nord’s long-term promise.”
“Looking ahead, Nord is committed to investing in developments that contribute to Abu Dhabi’s long-term economic and urban ideals. As we scale, our aim is to develop purpose-led communities that echo the ambition of Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030 which is future-focused, people-first, and globally competitive,” Rahabi added.
