## Tamouh Investments — Ambitious Vision, Proven Execution in UAE Real Estate | Attribute | Detail | |---|---| | Developer / Investment Group | Tamouh Investments | | Headquarters | Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates | | Name Meaning | "Tamouh" — Arabic for ambition, aspiration | | Market Focus | Residential and mixed-use development — Abu Dhabi and UAE | | Primary Project | Marina Square, Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi | | Development Philosophy | Large-scale master planning, quality infrastructure, community permanence | | Regulatory Status | ADRE (Abu Dhabi Real Estate) and UAE authority licensed | | Target Buyers | UAE residents, GCC nationals, international investors | ### Tamouh Investments — Ambition That Builds Cities "Tamouh" — Arabic for ambition — is a name that Tamouh Investments has earned the right to carry. The group is best known for Marina Square, one of Abu Dhabi's most significant waterfront residential developments on Al Reem Island — a master-planned community of multiple towers, retail podiums, and landscaped waterfront promenades that helped establish Al Reem Island as Abu Dhabi's premier freehold residential destination. Developing at the scale and quality of Marina Square requires more than ambition — it requires the financial strength, project management capability, contractor relationships, and regulatory expertise to coordinate hundreds of millions of dirhams in infrastructure investment across a multi-year programme. Tamouh Investments has demonstrated this capability, delivering Al Reem Island's waterfront community to a standard that attracted owner-occupier families, professional investor-tenants, and international capital allocators seeking quality Abu Dhabi residential exposure. The group continues to invest in Abu Dhabi's most compelling residential and mixed-use development opportunities, informed by its Marina Square experience and its deep relationships with Abu Dhabi's government and master developer entities (ALDAR Properties, Mubadala, Abu Dhabi Investment Council). ### Marina Square — The Flagship Achievement Marina Square on Al Reem Island represents Tamouh's most ambitious completed project — a large-scale waterfront residential development comprising multiple residential towers, a retail podium, and a landscaped marina promenade. The development transformed a section of Al Reem Island's western coastline into a genuine waterfront community with: - Multiple residential towers of varied heights (from 15 to 40+ storeys), providing a diverse product offering from studios to four-bedroom family apartments - Retail podium with F&B, convenience retail, health and wellness, and children's services - Marina promenade with public landscaping, seating, and water views - Community amenities: multiple swimming pools, gymnasiums, children's play areas, and residents' lounges - Covered parking with over 2,000 dedicated bays across the development - 24/7 security and concierge across all towers Marina Square's scale meant Tamouh could invest in community infrastructure that smaller developers cannot justify — the retail activation that makes daily errands walkable, the marina promenade that transforms a coastal edge into a genuine civic space, and the community programming that turns a collection of apartments into a neighbourhood. ### Al Reem Island — Abu Dhabi's Freehold Waterfront Al Reem Island holds a unique position in Abu Dhabi's real estate landscape: it is the emirate's primary designated investment zone for international real estate ownership — the Abu Dhabi equivalent of Dubai's freehold zones — situated directly adjacent to Abu Dhabi City Centre, offering waterfront and skyline views with a 10-minute drive to the Central Business District and a direct road connection to Abu Dhabi's major arterials. | Al Reem Island Metric | 2024 Data | |---|---| | Distance to Abu Dhabi City Centre | 10 min drive / 2km | | Distance to Abu Dhabi International Airport | 35–40 min | | Distance to Yas Island | 20 min | | Gross Rental Yield (1BR) | 7.0–9.0% | | Capital Appreciation (2020–2024) | 28–42% | | International Owner Proportion | ~35% | | Freehold Zone Status | Yes — open to all nationalities | Al Reem Island has benefited from substantial government infrastructure investment: Al Reem Island Bridge connecting to Muroor Road, the new Abu Dhabi Metro connectivity studies, and ALDAR's continued master development activation of the island's northern reaches. These investments have driven sustained capital appreciation and rental yield stability that compare favourably with Dubai's own established residential corridors. ### Development Quality — Tamouh Standards **Structural:** - High-rise concrete frame construction (shear wall and flat slab) designed to Abu Dhabi Municipality seismic zone requirements - Marine-grade concrete (w/c ≤ 0.38, BFSC cement, minimum 40MPa) for all coastal and below-grade elements - Structural design life: 50 years minimum **Waterproofing:** - Below-grade: Crystalline waterproofing additive + hot-applied bituminous membrane - Podium decks and balconies: Liquid polyurethane (15-year manufacturer guarantee) - Rooftops: TPO white membrane **MEP:** - ADWEA (Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority) compliant electrical and plumbing design - District cooling connected where available (Abu Dhabi's Tabreed network) - FTTH (fibre to home) — minimum 1Gbps per unit - Building Management System (BMS) for energy monitoring and maintenance **Interior — Standard:** - Porcelain floor tiles (600×600mm+) throughout - Kitchen: Laminate or painted cabinets; composite worktop; integrated appliances - Bathrooms: Chrome fittings; wall-hung WC; ceramic/porcelain tiling **Interior — Premium:** - Large-format marble or 900×600mm+ porcelain - Kitchen: Custom joinery; quartz worktop; Miele/Bosch integrated suite - Bathrooms: Hansgrohe/Grohe; freestanding bath (master); underfloor heating - Smart home: Lutron/Crestron system ### Amenity Stack — Marina Square Scale | Amenity | Marina Square Community | |---|---| | Swimming Pools | Multiple pools across development; lap and leisure | | Gymnasiums | Per-tower gymnasium; commercial equipment | | Retail Podium | F&B, convenience, health and wellness, children's services | | Marina Promenade | Public waterfront landscaping; seating; water views | | Security | 24/7 CCTV; access control; concierge per tower | | Parking | 2,000+ covered allocated bays | | Children's Play | Multiple zones; outdoor and indoor | | Community Rooms | Per-tower multipurpose residents' rooms | ### Drive Times from Marina Square / Al Reem Island | Destination | Drive Time | |---|---| | Abu Dhabi City Centre / Corniche | 10 min | | ADNEC (Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre) | 12 min | | Abu Dhabi International Airport | 35 min | | Yas Island | 20 min | | Ferrari World / Warner Bros.
