Baia

Baia is a townhouse community by Reportage Properties at Al Raha Beach, and the defining number is 50. That is the whole project. Reportage built its name on large-volume communities where unit counts run into the thousands, so a fifty-home, townhouse-only scheme on the Abu Dhabi waterfront is a deliberate step away from what the company is usually associated with.

Three and four bedrooms, delivered finished

The homes are three- and four-bedroom townhouses handed over complete rather than as a shell, each with private outdoor space. Selected layouts include a maid’s room and a separate laundry, which is usually the detail that settles the decision for families running a household with staff. Parking and arrival are pushed down into two basement levels, so the internal streets stay in use by residents instead of vehicles. The shared side covers landscaped grounds, pools, a gym, children’s play zones and pet-friendly areas.

Low-rise is the scarce product on this waterfront

Al Raha Beach was master-planned to carry its density in mid-rise blocks along the water, which is why nearly everything standing there is an apartment. Family housing at ground level exists in small pockets, it is largely occupied, and it changes hands rarely. New townhouse releases on this stretch of coast are infrequent by design rather than by accident, and fifty homes will not shift that balance. Anyone who has tried to rent or buy a townhouse in this part of Abu Dhabi already knows how thin the supply is.

Who buys a townhouse instead of an apartment

The buyer here is narrower and more predictable than in a tower. Families choose townhouses for a front door at street level, real storage, and a garden that belongs to them rather than a shared podium deck. They also tend to stay, which keeps turnover low and supports values in a way that a building full of one-bedroom rentals does not. The same trait works against short-term investors: fifty homes will never produce a liquid resale market, so this is a hold rather than a flip. Payment runs from a booking deposit through construction instalments to handover in 2029, and the current schedule and pricing sit in the panel above. Gorilla Real Estate can set Baia against the townhouse stock on Yas Island and in Al Zeina, which is the realistic shortlist for anyone looking at this format in Abu Dhabi.
