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.
