Aldar

Abu Dhabi developer Aldar and Sharjah-based Arada have entered into a landmark strategic partnership worth approximately AED 15 billion. Marking Arada's entry into the Abu Dhabi property market, the agreement involves co-developing a 1.5 million square metre mixed-use masterplan at Seih Sdeirah and acquiring three residential plots on Yas Island to deliver premium lifestyle communities.
Abu Dhabi developer Aldar has announced the launch of Yas Riva Reserve, a gated villa community to the northeast of Yas Island. Featuring 292 four-, five- and six-bedroom villas, including 45 waterfront units with pontoon options, the development links directly to Yas Island via a new bridge. Sales open on 26 September with prices starting from AED 7.9 million.
Aldar has announced that Saadiyat Grove, a major luxury retail and fine dining destination in Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Cultural District, will open in the fourth quarter of 2026. Bringing together over 100 global brands and 20 regional debuts, the mixed-use scheme includes luxury residences, hotels, executive office space, a wellness clinic and a 2,000 square metre BXR gym.
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.
