Perla 1 by Reportage Properties — Yas Bay, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi
Developer & Strategic Significance
-
Developer: Reportage Properties, Abu Dhabi–based since 2014; known for pioneering loft-style apartments in Abu Dhabi and growing quickly via aggressive pricing and internal construction management.
-
Sales Strategy: Their signature finance model—steep cash discounts (30–40%), 1% monthly installments, and minimal (~0–5%) down payments—are often offered outside DLD escrow-protected structures.
Location & Access Highlights
-
Site: Fronting Yas Bay waterfront, part of Yas Island’s mixed-use sector encompassing Etihad Arena, Marina, and promenade retail.
-
Connectivity:

5 min → Yas Beach, Etihad Arena, and Formula 1 circuit

Payment Scheme & Purchase Terms
-
Standard Offer: 10% down + 1% per month up to handover (common across Reportage projects)
-
Early Pledge Discounts: Up to ~15% savings depending on upfront payment size and timing
-
Escrow Status: Projects frequently marketed as “freehold,” but many buyers report leasehold title, with title deed issued only after Reportage settles land dues with the master-developer. Review your SPA carefully—cash-based discounts often circumvent escrow protection.
