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.
Aldar and Mubadala Capital have officially announced the formation of Aldar Capital, a new investment management platform. The joint venture will focus on connecting global institutional investors, including sovereign wealth funds and pension funds, with high-quality real estate and infrastructure opportunities across the UAE and the wider GCC region.
Aldar has increased its ownership in Aldar Estates to 82.55% after acquiring Modon Holding’s 17.45% indirect stake. The platform, now managing AED 3 billion in active contracts, has expanded rapidly in recent years with significant growth in residential units, commercial space and revenue, reinforcing Aldar’s long-term investment strategy.
Aldar has finalised a deal with AD Ports Group to acquire two institutional-grade logistics assets in KEZAD for AED 570 million. The transaction significantly expands Aldar’s industrial and logistics footprint across the UAE. The acquired Grade A facilities are fully leased to Noon and Emtelle. The assets benefit from direct connectivity to Khalifa Port and Etihad Rail. This acquisition aligns with Aldar’s strategy to scale its recurring income platform.
