For the first time in the emirate, eligible homebuyers will be able to access up to 75% off-plan home financing through ADIB.

Available exclusively for future Modon developments, the innovative solution enables customers to secure homes earlier in the development cycle through a more seamless purchasing journey, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of Abu Dhabi’s real estate market.

The MoU was signed during an official ceremony attended by Bill O’Regan, Group CEO of Modon Holding, Ibrahim Al Maghribi, CEO of Modon Real Estate, and Mohamed Abdelbary, Group CEO at ADIB.

Under the offering, customers can secure an off-plan property through a structured payment plan comprising a 15% payment plan during the construction phase and a further 5 to 10% payment upon handover. ADIB will finance up to 75% of the property’s value subject to customers’ eligibility during off plan and construction, providing customers with access to funding throughout their homeownership journey.

Bill O’Regan, Group Chief Executive Officer of Modon Holding, said, “Abu Dhabi continues to strengthen its position as one of the world’s most attractive destinations for investment and long-term growth, creating high demand for new real estate launches. Modon’s off-plan financing solution with ADIB will give more buyers access to these opportunities, reflecting the market’s ongoing transformation and supporting broader efforts to enhance global competitiveness. Together, we are helping create the conditions that enable sustainable sector growth while further reinforcing investor confidence.”

Mohamed Abdelbary, Group Chief Executive Officer of Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, said, “As Abu Dhabi’s real estate market continues to create compelling opportunities and attract strong demand, it is important that financing solutions evolve alongside it. Through our partnership with Modon, ADIB is introducing a first-of-its-kind offering in Abu Dhabi that transforms the home-buying experience by providing financing throughout the property development journey. By enabling eligible customers to finance up to 75% of a property’s value during construction and through to handover, we are making homeownership more accessible while supporting the continued development of Abu Dhabi’s real estate market.”

Ibrahim Al Maghribi, CEO of Modon Real Estate, said, “At Modon, innovation extends beyond the communities we create to how we make homeownership more accessible. Our partnership with ADIB represents a significant step forward in redefining off-plan home financing by introducing a game-changing financing solution marks a new chapter for Abu Dhabi’s real estate market. By unlocking easier access to Modon’s future developments, it expands opportunities for eligible buyers and enhances market accessibility.”

The partnership supports the continued development of Abu Dhabi’s real estate sector by introducing an innovative financing framework that expands access to off-plan investment and creates greater flexibility for buyers and investors. It further reflects Modon’s and ADIB’s commitment to delivering forward-looking solutions that enhance the property ownership journey while supporting the emirate’s long-term ambitions.

Within days of launch, the community achieved record-breaking sales exceeding AED 13 billion, marking the highest publicly recorded sales value for a single residential project launch in the UAE.

Comprising an exclusive collection of golf mansions, villas, and townhouses, the development saw 1,700 of its residences sold after few days of launch.

The response from buyers and investors reflects confidence in Abu Dhabi’s real estate market and Modon’s development vision, while reinforcing Hudayriyat Island’s position as a premier lifestyle destination.

Designed around privacy, wellbeing and premium living, the gated community attracted strong interest, with 15% being non-UAE resident, and 81% being new customers to Modon. Andalusian-inspired architecture, dual waterfront and fairway views, and a 95-hectare golf course are integrated within a walkable masterplan. A 2.3-kilometre green spine connects a range of amenities, including a clubhouse, wellness and fitness facilities, retail and leisure offerings, co-working spaces and a school.

His Excellency Jassem Mohamed Bu Ataba Al Zaabi, Chairman of Modon Holding, said: “This strong demand reflects the growing global confidence in Abu Dhabi and the UAE, underpinned by the leadership’s long-term vision, economic strength and commitment to sustainable development. It reinforces the emirate’s position as one of the world’s most attractive destinations for investment, talent and quality of life.”

Bill O’Regan, Group Chief Executive Officer of Modon Holding, said: “This response reflects a broader shift in how people choose where to live. Buyers increasingly seek communities that combine quality homes with lifestyle, wellbeing and connectivity. At Modon, our focus is on creating integrated destinations that bring these elements together in a way that delivers enduring value for residents, investors and the wider city.”

Ibrahim Al Maghribi, Chief Executive Officer of Modon Real Estate, added: “Hudayriyat Golf Estates has been designed to offer a distinctive residential experience centred around quality, privacy and active living. The response from buyers reflects the appeal of the community, its unique setting and the strength of demand for thoughtfully planned homes in Abu Dhabi. We are grateful for the trust placed in Modon and look forward to bringing this community to life.”

Scheduled ahead of the mall’s 25th anniversary, the redevelopment will introduce comprehensive upgrades across the mall’s retail, dining, entertainment and public spaces, alongside the addition of hotel services, reinforcing the mall’s position as one of Al Ain’s leading lifestyle destinations.

A key feature of the redevelopment is the complete transformation of the mall’s external façade, alongside the expansion and relocation of its existing ice rink, which is expected to become one of the largest in Al Ain upon completion. The upgraded facility will expand to nearly three times its current size and serve as the centerpiece of a larger family entertainment offering within the mall.

The redevelopment will also deliver significant improvements across retail and food and beverage areas, together with enhancements to accessibility, customer circulation, seating areas, lighting, and public spaces, creating a more modern and integrated visitor experience.

The mall expansion will also introduce hotel services linked to the destination. The expansion is expected to attract new visitors, strengthen its hospitality offering, and support Al Ain’s growing tourism and business sectors.

Nehayan Hamad Alameri, Managing Director and Group CEO of MAIR Group, said:

“Mall of Al Ain has served generations of residents and visitors for more than two decades and remains an important destination within Al Ain’s retail landscape. This redevelopment reflects our confidence in the city’s continued growth and our commitment to investing in high-quality assets that create lasting value for our customers, tenants, shareholders and the communities we serve. Through Makani Real Estate, we continue to strengthen a resilient commercial real estate portfolio.”

The redevelopment forms part of MAIR Group’s broader investment strategy across retail and commercial real estate in the UAE and underscores Makani Real Estate’s role in executing the Group’s long-term strategy to enhance asset quality, elevate customer experience and create sustainable long-term value.

Haisam Sleiman, Chief Executive Officer of Makani Real Estate, commented:

“Mall of Al Ain has always been more than a retail destination for the city. This redevelopment represents a significant milestone in the evolution of the destination, introducing enhanced retail, dining and entertainment experiences while preserving the qualities that have made the mall an integral part of everyday life in Al Ain. Our objective is to ensure the asset continues to meet the evolving needs of customers and tenants for many years to come.”

Construction is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026. The redevelopment will be implemented in phases, allowing the mall to remain fully operational throughout the construction period.

A market analysis issued today by ADXinteract revealed that sales of apartments and villas combined have climbed by 173.9% in value to AED 84.49 billion and by 103% in volume to 16,585 transactions compared with the first six months last year.

The report highlighted steady growth in annual sales volumes in Abu Dhabi over the last five years, from 7,242 transactions in 2021 to 9,053 in 2022, 15,013 in 2023, 16,244 in 2024 and 24,942 with a total value AED 91.9 billion last year.

So far this year, off-plan transactions represent 78% of all sales, and the median property prices stand at AED 1,927 per sqft for apartments and AED 1,500 per sqft for villas, rising by 22.5% and 41% respectively on the first half of 2025.

The bulk of the market activity so far this year has centred on Al Reem Island which has seen the biggest volume of sales, Al Hudayriyat which has recorded the highest overall value for transactions, Yas Island and Al Saadiyat Island.

Data from ADXinteract, the recently launched online property market intelligence platform, shows that major development in these four areas has accounted for 11,137 (67.15%) of overall sales deals and AED 54.8 billion (64.86%) of total sales value.

Significantly, it also reveals a 51% average absorption rate for all 286 projects comprising 98,823 units which are currently under development in Abu Dhabi.

Fateh Al Msaddi, Founder of ADXinteract, said the market was continuing to display continued momentum following a strong Q1 performance which saw 8,806 residential property sales with a combined value of AED 48.76 billion.

“The Abu Dhabi market has moved from quiet strength to strong, visible momentum,” said Al Msaddi. “The sharp rise that we’ve seen in sales value and the growth in transactions show that the capital is entering a new phase, one driven by real buyer demand, major project activity, and increasing market transparency.”

The new partner platform for the well-established DXBinteract was introduced to meet market demand for a comprehensive source of real estate data in the capital. In addition to tracking deals, it presents detailed insights on the key players in the Abu Dhabi real estate ecosystem.

This currently consists of 1,124 agencies and 3,699 brokers, 3,378 of which are employed by registered agencies, with 321 self-licensed and operating independently. Of the 140 developers presently operating in Abu Dhabi, 38 are primary developers holding primary project registration, and 102 are secondary developers who build within a primary developer’s master project.

One of the defining architectural features of the collection is the inclusion of private internal courtyards. Rooted in regional architectural traditions, these landscaped spaces serve as a secluded oasis within each residence, providing natural light, privacy and a sense of tranquillity rarely found in contemporary waterfront developments. The courtyards create a dialogue between Mediterranean and Emirati living traditions, reflecting the broader philosophy that underpins Riviera Residences.

Michael Belton, CEO of MERED, said: “Luxury today is defined by individuality. Buyers are looking for homes that offer a genuine sense of identity and cannot be replicated elsewhere. With the Bay Villas, we wanted to create residences that are truly distinct in character. Each villa carries its own design inspiration and relationship with the waterfront, combining the timeless influence of the French Riviera with the cultural depth of Abu Dhabi.”

The development reflects the continued evolution of Abu Dhabi’s premium residential market, where demand is shifting toward design-led homes that prioritise privacy, architectural distinction, and long-term value. According to the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC), the emirate recorded AED 66 billion in real estate transactions in Q1 2026, marking its strongest quarterly performance to date. Reem Island remained one of the most active investment zones, generating AED 9 billion in transactions.

Riviera Residences occupies a prime first-line waterfront position on Reem Island — one of Abu Dhabi’s most active residential destinations and part of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the emirate’s international financial centre. MERED’s bay villas are positioned directly above the waterfront promenade, with uninterrupted views of the sea and Al Reem skyline, a Beach Club within a three-minute walk, and immediate access to Riviera Residences’ wider resort-style amenities. These include more than 15,000 plants integrated throughout the landscape, 4 pools, wellness facilities, elegant lounges, a Sky Garden on the 17th floor, and five themed children’s zones.

Riviera Residences will offer over 400 apartments and 11 villas, among them sky villas, bay villas, and a penthouse, alongside landscaped gardens and an elegant waterfront promenade designed as a destination in its own right, where boutique retail, refined dining, and cafés are framed by breathtaking waterfront views and a vibrant social atmosphere.

The landscape design has been conceived by Michel Desvigne Paysagiste (Paris), one of the world’s leading landscape architecture practices, working in close collaboration with Herzog & de Meuron. Rather than serving as a decorative layer, the landscape shapes the microclimate, enhancing shade, creating visual privacy, and reinforcing a sense of resort seclusion.

Enabling works at Riviera Residences have been completed, with construction progressing on schedule. Phase 1 delivery is targeted for Q1 2029.

Based on in-house analysis of Abu Dhabi property activity between January and June 2026, Bayut and dubizzle recorded clear performance metrics across key demand indicators by Week 14.

Property views recovered to 95% of the 2026 baseline, while impressions recovered to 83%, active users to 80% and unique buyers to 87%, pointing to a gradual but consistent return to normalcy in search and enquiry behaviour.

The data also shows that agent activity has remained highly resilient. Daily agent responses across Bayut and dubizzle in Abu Dhabi now stand at 102% of the 2026 baseline, suggesting that real estate professionals across the emirate have continued to actively engage with property seekers to match market momentum.

Bayut and dubizzle’s AI-led analysis of more than 7,000 property inquiry calls recorded through their platforms in Abu Dhabi further highlights the strength of underlying demand. The analysis showed that the split between sales and rental enquiries remained stable before and after the period of disruption, with sales accounting for 54% of calls and rentals 46%.

Rental demand shows strong recovery across key apartment and villa communities

Bayut and dubizzle’s area-level analysis points to notable recovery in several popular rental communities across Abu Dhabi, with several apartment areas moving above baseline levels for user activity.

For rental apartments, communities such as Masdar City, Al Reef, Al Raha Beach, Yas Island, Al Khalidiyah and Al Reem Island have recorded a strong recovery in views, with many of these areas now returning to pre-conflict levels of demand. This suggests that established apartment communities, waterfront destinations and emerging residential hubs continue to attract strong interest from tenants.

Villa rental communities also recorded significant recovery in user activity, with several areas moving well above baseline levels. Al Shamkha saw particularly strong traction, while Mohamed Bin Zayed City, Al Reef, Khalifa City and Yas Island also remained among the most active villa rental communities. The data indicates continued demand for spacious family homes, particularly in established suburban neighbourhoods and lifestyle-led destinations.

Sales activity reflects demand across ready and off-plan segments

Within the ready sales segment, apartment communities such as Al Raha Beach, Yas Island, Saadiyat Island and Al Reem Island continued to show steady user interest. These communities remain relevant for buyers exploring established waterfront, island and urban residential options in Abu Dhabi.

For ready-sale villas, Al Shamkha recorded particularly strong recovery across both impressions and views, moving above baseline levels. Al Reef and Khalifa City also remained key areas of interest, with recovery broadly ranging from the 80% to 130% band across user activity indicators. This points to sustained interest in family-led villa communities, especially those offering larger homes, community infrastructure and long-term residential appeal.

Off-plan activity also showed continued interest in Abu Dhabi’s emerging and lifestyle-led communities. For off-plan apartments, Masdar City recorded strong recovery, while Zayed City, Yas Island, Al Reem Island, Al Maryah Island and Al Hudayriat Island continued to attract attention from users exploring future-ready residential options.

In the off-plan villa segment, Ramhan Island, Yas Island and Saadiyat Island remained among the notable areas for user interest. These figures indicate that premium island communities and master-planned destinations continue to remain relevant for buyers considering long-term residential and investment opportunities.

Commenting on the findings, Haider Khan, CEO of Bayut and dubizzle and CEO of Dubizzle Group MENA, said:

“Abu Dhabi’s property market has continued to demonstrate resilience, supported by strong fundamentals, improving user activity and a clear appetite for quality residential communities.

“The market is also benefiting from a more structured and transparent regulatory environment. ADREC’s continued focus on strengthening the sector, along with measures such as the recent rent freeze announcement, gives tenants, landlords and real estate professionals greater clarity when making decisions. This kind of predictability is important for long-term confidence, especially in a market where users are becoming more deliberate, data-driven and value-conscious.”

Bayut and dubizzle’s latest data points to a measured but encouraging recovery in Abu Dhabi’s property market. While user behaviour has become more selective, the continued rebound in views, active users, unique buyers and agent engagement suggests that demand remains firmly present across the emirate.

As Abu Dhabi continues to strengthen its residential offering through established neighbourhoods, emerging communities and lifestyle-led developments, Bayut and dubizzle expect data transparency, responsive agents and quality listings to play an increasingly important role in helping property seekers make confident decisions.

Strategically located, SENSI introduces a refined residential offering in a destination globally recognised for its unique fusion of culture, nature, luxury hospitality, and premium lifestyle experiences.

As Abu Dhabi continues investing in world-class destinations and lifestyle-led communities, Saadiyat remains one of the emirate’s most sought-after investment locations, offering strong long-term value appreciation, sustained demand, and enduring residential appeal.

The project also marks an important chapter in Reportage Group’s Abu Dhabi journey. After shaping communities and launching landmark developments across multiple districts of the capital, the Group now expands its footprint into Saadiyat Island – bringing its signature philosophy of delivering some of the market’s most competitive investment propositions, without compromising on design, quality, or lifestyle.

The groundbreaking ceremony signals the transition of SENSI from vision to reality only five months after its official launch, reflecting Reportage Group’s integrated and operationally efficient business model, strong execution capabilities, and ability to rapidly transform ambition into reality.

In an industry often characterized by extended development timelines, the accelerated progression of SENSI underscores Reportage Group’s disciplined approach to development and its commitment to delivering projects with speed, confidence, and long-term vision.

Inspired by the essence of its name — SENSI, the Italian word for “the senses” — the development introduces a distinctive architectural identity rooted in elegance, intentionality, and emotional connection.

On the key milestone, CEO and Group Managing Director Andrea Nucera said: “The groundbreaking of SENSI only months after its launch reflects the strength of Reportage Group’s integrated and operationally efficient business model – one that enables us to move with speed, precision, and confidence from vision to execution.”

“At Reportage, we manage the full development lifecycle with a disciplined and agile approach, allowing us to consistently deliver value to our investors and customers alike,” he stated.

We believe Sensi is uniquely positioned to offer an exceptional balance between architectural distinction, lifestyle quality, and compelling investment value, reinforcing our commitment to making upscale living more accessible while continuing to shape communities that stand the test of time,” he added.l
