• The new land plots extend across coastal locations, islands and inland areas within the most prominent growth axes in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, supporting the development of luxury residential projects and integrated communities geared towards families.
• This addition reflects growing confidence in the foundations of sustainable demand in Abu Dhabi’s real estate market, and underscores the disciplined approach Aldar is taking to achieving growth.

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates: Aldar Group announced the addition of a number of strategic land plots in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, with a total development value estimated at approximately AED 23 billion, in a move that strengthens its strategic land portfolio and provides a base to support sustainable and long-term growth across the capital’s most attractive development hubs.

These sites, spanning a total area exceeding 2.3 million square meters, are expected to contribute to the development of approximately 3,000 new residential units on land located on Saadiyat Island, Yas Island, and surrounding areas. Collectively, these sites offer significant flexibility in developing a diverse range of residential products, supporting long-term population growth and strengthening the foundations for sustainable housing demand in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

Land plots on Saadiyat Island are ideally suited for developing luxury residential units, including spacious villas and elegant mansions, benefiting from their strategic location and proximity to the emirate's leading cultural, entertainment, and world-class beaches. Meanwhile, land plots on Yas Island offer opportunities for developing large-scale, master-planned residential communities focused on family-oriented lifestyles, supported by existing and advanced infrastructure that includes retail, entertainment, and integrated lifestyle facilities.

On this occasion, Talal Al Dhiyabi, CEO of Aldar Group, said: “The expansion of our land portfolio in Abu Dhabi reflects our firm belief in the long-term strength of the market’s fundamentals and the depth of opportunities available across the capital’s various growth axes. By building on our existing destinations and expanding into new growth areas, these locations enable us to develop a diverse range of high-quality residential communities, in line with the foundations of sustainable demand. We are confident that this portfolio will contribute to delivering attractive and long-term returns for our shareholders, while supporting Abu Dhabi’s continued journey as a leading international hub for business and lifestyle.”

The projects will be launched and brought to market in a phased and well-considered approach that aligns with demand levels, with the first launches commencing in 2026. This phased and disciplined approach aims to support flexible and stable absorption rates, enhance clarity regarding revenue and profit growth paths in the medium and long term, and ensure the highest degree of flexibility in dealing with various market cycles.

These additions are part of Aldar Group’s comprehensive growth strategy, which focuses on building a high-quality land portfolio in key markets. With record levels of development projects underway and continued international interest in Abu Dhabi’s real estate market, Aldar remains focused on enhancing and activating its land portfolio by developing integrated, high-quality communities that support the emirate’s long-term vision and its economic and developmental trajectory.

These lands will be activated through a joint venture structure with an established partner, enhancing the efficiency of capital deployment, with Aldar Group retaining full responsibility for overseeing all phases of the development cycle, including planning, execution, sales and delivery of new projects.
