    Shortlist from Penang

    We send live availability, floor plans and the payment plan for each Modon project that fits your budget in MYR, so you compare before anything is reserved.

  2. Step 2
    Reserve remotely

    Units are held on a booking form and signed digitally. No trip to Abu Dhabi is required, which matters when the flight is around 7 hours 30 minutes.

  3. Step 3
    Remit the first payment

    A bank transfer from Penang covers the 10% booking amount plus the 4% Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre registration fee.

  4. Step 4
    Pay on milestones, then handover

    The balance follows construction milestones on the Modon payment plan. At completion we arrange snagging, handover and, if you want it, letting.

Questions from Penang

Modon property in Abu Dhabi, answered for Penang buyers

Can someone living in Penang buy an Modon property in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Modon communities are freehold, which means buyers based in Penang can own the property outright in their own name with no residency requirement and no local sponsor. The purchase is registered with the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre and the title deed is issued in the buyer's name.

How much do I need to start, in MYR?

Entry level Modon homes start from roughly RM 1.9M. On an off-plan launch the first payment is usually 10% of the price plus the 4% Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre fee, so a buyer in Penang typically transfers around 14% up front and pays the balance on the construction milestones.

Do I have to fly to Abu Dhabi to complete the purchase?

No. Buyers from Penang regularly reserve remotely: units are held on a booking form, documents are signed digitally and funds are remitted by bank transfer. Abu Dhabi is around 7 hours 30 minutes from Penang, so most buyers visit later for handover or snagging rather than to sign.

Which Modon communities suit buyers from Penang?

Investors focused on yield tend to choose apartments in Hudayriyat Island, Bashayer and Nawayef East. Families buying a second home lean towards villas and townhouses in Reem Island, Muheira and Nawayef Village, which is next to Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City.

Is the Golden Visa available on an Modon purchase?

A property investment of AED 2M or more qualifies for the 10-year renewable UAE Golden Visa, and it can be met with off-plan units as well as completed homes. Buyers in Penang often combine two smaller units to reach the threshold.

What is the tax position for a Malaysian buyer?

Abu Dhabi charges no annual property tax and no tax on rental income. There is a one-off 4% transfer fee at registration. Malaysian buyers should still check reporting obligations on overseas assets and rental income at home, which is covered in our Malaysia buyer guide.
