A leading real estate developer delivering premium waterfront and urban communities across Abu Dhabi
Iconic communities across Abu Dhabi's most desirable destinations
Aldar’s track record in Abu Dhabi is built on some of the most ambitious and successful master developments in the region. Yas Island, home to Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Yas Marina Circuit and Yas Mall, is a fully integrated leisure and residential destination that continues to attract millions of visitors and residents annually. Saadiyat Island is Abu Dhabi’s premium cultural hub, home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, stunning beaches, and some of the emirate’s most prestigious residential communities.
Al Raha Beach, a 5.2 kilometre waterfront development combining apartments, villas and retail, has become one of Abu Dhabi’s most established and desirable residential addresses, demonstrating Aldar’s ability to plan, build, and manage at a genuinely metropolitan scale.
A growing presence in Dubai's most exciting growth corridors
Aldar has expanded significantly into Dubai in recent years, bringing its proven development model to a new market. Projects including Athlon by Aldar in Dubailand, which sold over 1,000 villas and townhouses generating AED 4.1 billion on launch, and Haven by Aldar, a health and wellness-themed community, have demonstrated that Aldar’s community-building philosophy translates powerfully to Dubai’s market.
A joint venture with Expo City Dubai for a AED 1.75 billion mixed-use development further extends Aldar’s Dubai footprint into one of the city’s most strategically important emerging districts. These projects are bringing Aldar’s integrated community approach, with schools, healthcare, parks and retail built in from the outset, to a new generation of Dubai residents.
