Aldar Properties has recorded AED 1.5 billion in sales during the initial release of The Canopies, a six-building residential community situated at Yas Point on Yas Island. The launch attracted strong international interest, with first-time buyers accounting for 84% of total sales across the development.
Aldar has announced Yas Point, a new six billion dirham waterfront development on the northern shore of Abu Dhabi's Yas Island. The massive mixed-use masterplan spans 600,000 square metres and will feature 1,600 residences, a five-star resort hotel and an international school. The project focuses heavily on walkability, incorporating three public parks and a 700-metre shoreline promenade alongside the first northern beach on the island.
Abu Dhabi developer Aldar has unveiled The Orchids, a new gated community within its established Yas Acres development on Yas Island. The project introduces 217 family homes, including townhouses and villas, designed around central parks and sports facilities. Residents will gain access to the wider masterplan, which features premium leisure options and sits close to local international schools and major entertainment hubs.
Aldar and the Department of Municipalities and Transport have formed a massive public-private partnership to transform Abu Dhabi's urban landscape. The deal activates 20 million square metres of land across five locations to create integrated communities. These developments include affordable rental housing, lifestyle districts and the first-ever residential project on Al Mihsinah Island. The project focuses on walkable neighbourhoods, green spaces and enhanced connectivity.
Aldar has acquired a major industrial and logistics portfolio in Abu Dhabi for AED 650 million from AD Ports Group. The deal involves 163,000 square metres of warehouse space within the KEZAD Al Ma’mourah cluster. This move brings Aldar’s total logistics portfolio to over 700,000 square metres as the company continues to capitalise on the high demand for trade and manufacturing hubs in the UAE.
Aldar and Mubadala Investment Company have completed an AED 654 million acquisition of The Link at Masdar City through their 2024 joint venture. The mixed-use development is fully leased to major institutions, including Masdar and MBZUAI. Covering 32,000 square metres, the site features LEED Platinum office space and residential units. This deal highlights the growing demand for high-quality, sustainable assets within Abu Dhabi’s innovation ecosystem.
