Post by : Bianca Hayes

Abu Dhabi’s real estate landscape is set for a major expansion as Aldar announces a series of develop-to-hold projects worth AED3.8 billion. The new investments span residential, commercial, and logistics sectors, bringing Aldar’s total develop-to-hold pipeline to AED17.6 billion and reinforcing its position as a key market leader.

Residential Developments

Aldar is introducing nearly 2,000 residential units in Alreeman, including studios and 1- to 3-bedroom apartments. The community will feature retail outlets, leisure amenities, and green spaces, strategically located near Zayed International Airport and major highways linking Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

On Yas Island, Aldar will deliver 665 new rental units, comprising 217 townhouses and villas designed for young professionals and families. Additionally, 448 apartments will expand Yas Residential Village to accommodate staff working on the island, enhancing Yas Island’s residential offerings.

Commercial Expansion

The company is also strengthening its commercial footprint with Yas Business Park, a four-tower office complex totaling 47,500 square metres of leasable space. Positioned next to Yas Mall and Aldar Square, the development promises flexible floorplans, modern amenities, and vibrant public spaces, providing an attractive option for corporate tenants. Completion is scheduled for H2 2027.

Logistics Growth

Aldar is further expanding Abu Dhabi Business Hub (ADBH), adding 175,000 square metres of premium logistics space. The development addresses growing demand from e-commerce, distribution, and third-party logistics tenants, benefiting from direct access to the E30 highway and Abu Dhabi’s strategic transport infrastructure.

Specialty Projects

The announcement also includes Abu Dhabi’s first Tesla Experience Centre—a 5,000 sqm build-to-suit facility featuring a showroom, service centre, and delivery operations, cementing Yas Island’s reputation as a hub for global brands.

These projects will become part of Aldar Investment’s AED47 billion income-generating real estate portfolio, positioning the company to deliver strong leasing returns while diversifying its assets across high-demand sectors.
