Aldar Investment has announced a AED 3.8 billion programme to develop new residential communities designed for the rental market in Abu Dhabi. The move reflects confidence in long-term housing demand and stable income growth.
The investment focuses on Al Shamkha and Yas Island — two of Abu Dhabi’s fastest-growing areas.
New residential projects
In Alreeman (Al Shamkha), Aldar plans around 2,000 units of studios and one- to three-bedroom apartments, along with shops, green areas and leisure facilities.
On Yas Island, the company will add 665 rental homes, including 217 townhouses and villas plus 448 apartments, expanding staff housing options.
Commercial and logistics developments
Aldar will also build Yas Business Park — four office towers offering 47,500 m² of Grade A space, set for completion in 2027.
In addition, 175,000 m² of new logistics and warehouse facilities will be built near Abu Dhabi Business Hub to support e-commerce and distribution.
Market outlook
Abu Dhabi’s property market continues to thrive with rising prices, limited supply and solid rental yields above 5 %. Aldar’s total portfolio of income-generating assets now exceeds AED 17.6 billion.
