These apartment are actually quite spacious, and the whole project is an attempt to get some decent housing quick. Not really my cup of tea in the long term but certainly a huge improvement on living in a hotel room. The swimming pools are not very large for a serious swimmer. (About 12m by my pacing) but will be great for kids while mums dissolve in jaccuzzi....

For those that dont know it, EY has taken 10 apartment blocks of 12 floors, out of about 15 in development. It isnt Mussafah.... except to those who want to run it down.... unless Abu Dhabi is being renamed Dubai South. SMBZC is next to Mussafa, but there are lotsa nice suburbs worldwide next to less desirable ones. The villas (not EY) being built around SMBZC dont look too cheap!

The buldings at the front are all a new shopping Mall and office blocks so there is no need to consider those 'nearest supermarket' photos on the website linked above.
