The Sustainable City - Yiti is a new community on the Muscat coast with three kinds of home: apartments at The Plaza from OMR 86,818, villas with gardens in the Sustainable District from OMR 238,747, and Nikki Beach serviced residences at The Arc from OMR 423,883. Those are the developer's September 2026 list prices, before VAT.
The Plaza is the furthest along, with handover targeted for December 2027. The developer has set 2040 as the date for the community to reach net-zero emissions.
Who is building it
The project company is Sustainable Development & Investment Company (SDIC). OMRAN Group, the state tourism developer, and SEE Holding own it jointly. The Sustainable City concept comes from Diamond Developers, a SEE Holding company.
SDIC signed a financing agreement worth OMR 38.5 million with IFC for The Plaza, which OMRAN announced on 30 September 2026. In IFC's description The Plaza comes to 1,225 apartments plus shops and commercial space.
Yiti is on the coast south-east of central Muscat. The AIDA clifftop project by Dar Global and OMRAN is a separate development in the same area. The Yiti area page lists everything on sale there.

Prices from the developer's September 2026 list, excluding VAT, as recorded on 4 October 2026.
The Plaza: apartments above the high street
The Plaza is the mixed-use centre of the community. One-bedroom apartments start at OMR 86,818, two-bedroom apartments at OMR 129,372 and three-bedroom apartments at OMR 213,402. Studios were marked sold out when the list was reviewed on 4 October 2026.
Where the catalogue gives internal areas, one-bedroom plans are about 71 to 75 sq m and two-bedroom plans about 107 to 115 sq m. Balconies are scheduled separately.
The apartments sit in Blocks A to E above ground-floor shops, restaurants and workspace, with around 70 retail, dining and lifestyle outlets planned. This is the choice for someone who wants a Muscat base with everyday errands downstairs.
The developer advertises five years with no service charge from handover. Ask what the offer covers and what the charge is expected to be in year six. Earlier announcements gave earlier handover dates, so get the date for your building in writing.
Sustainable District Villas: a garden of your own
The Sustainable District Villas come in three models. Courtyard villas are semi-detached homes in the West District: three bedrooms from OMR 238,747 with about 256 sq m of built-up area, and four bedrooms from OMR 264,711 with about 285 sq m. Garden villas are detached four-bedroom homes in the East District. They start at OMR 455,618, with about 459 sq m of built-up area and private parking.
Each has a private garden, a maid's room, insulated double glazing and high-efficiency cooling. The streets between homes are pedestrian lanes, with community pools, parks and play areas nearby.
Built-up area is not the same as internal area or plot size, so ask for all three. The developer advertises zero service fees for villas. Utilities, garden care and maintenance of the house remain yours.
Nikki Beach Residences at The Arc: serviced homes at the marina
Nikki Beach Residences at The Arc is a curved building of 132 residences beside the marina, in three collections called Oria, Onda and Opal. Only Onda has the full Nikki Beach branding. Oria and Opal have a lighter version, with a different schedule of owner benefits.
Two-bedroom homes start at OMR 423,883, three-bedroom homes at OMR 786,372 and four-bedroom homes at OMR 871,633, with four-bedroom penthouses from OMR 1,891,700. The plan promises round-the-clock concierge and security, a lounge and pool for residents, parking with electric vehicle charging, and valet-served access to the marina.
Site photographs from July 2026 show the building under construction. No single handover date is published for every home, so ask for the contractual programme for the residence you choose.
What "sustainable" means in practice
On paper the community generates renewable energy, cools buildings efficiently, irrigates with recycled water, grows food in urban farms and greenhouses, and is laid out for walking, cycling and electric vehicles. The wider masterplan adds a school and nursery, a sports complex, an equestrian centre, clinics, a wellness centre and a mosque.
Much of that is planned and not yet open. The useful question is which facilities will be operating on the day your home is handed over.
Living at Yiti
Yiti is a coastal setting outside the city. The neighbouring AIDA project gives its own location as about 20 minutes from central Muscat and about 25 minutes from Muscat International Airport, which is a fair guide. That suits a second home or a quieter family base more than a daily commute across the capital.
The three districts suit different lives. The Plaza is for a buyer who wants an apartment with a neighbourhood at the door. The villas are for families who want a garden and car-free streets. The Arc is for a buyer who wants a serviced home by the water and accepts the running costs that come with it.
Ownership, residency and costs
Ask the developer to confirm in writing the ownership route and title for the specific home, and which residency route applies. Golden Residency starts from OMR 200,000 for a completed home in an Integrated Tourism Complex with a title deed issued, so check whether your home meets each condition before relying on it. The residency guide explains the routes.
List prices exclude VAT, and foreign buyers also pay a 3% transfer fee on registration. Flexible payment plans are offered, with the schedule confirmed for each home. The payment plan calculator helps you test one. Property values and rents can fall as well as rise, and off-plan projects can be delayed.
