										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="eKUkV3Yq8vY">Capstone Real Estate has announced a strategic partnership with Keyper to introduce the Rent Now, Pay Monthly (RNPM) digital system to its tenants in <a href="https://abudhabiverse.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abu Dhabi</a>, providing greater flexibility and convenience in managing rental payments.</p>
<p id="ehxBjd0yFJC">Through this partnership, Capstone Real Estate will integrate Keyper’s RNPM Digital solution into its property management operations, allowing eligible tenants greater flexibility in how they manage their rental commitments.</p>
<p id="e2cMmdIB4If">Flexible rent payment options are changing how annual market values are paid, shifting the market away from traditional bulk cheques toward monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual installments.</p>
<p id="eGAkxycwayZ">Dubai recorded over Dh32 billion in rental contract value across more than 253,000 contracts in early 2026, according to a report. Abu Dhabi’s real estate market is also going to grow with the flexi-rent programmes in the coming years.</p>
<p id="eg-6tprM0sX">Keyper will support Capstone Real Estate in activating and implementing the RNPM digital system in Abu Dhabi. Through this collaboration, Capstone Real Estate will become the first property management company in Abu Dhabi to implement the RNPM digital system, marking an important step toward modernizing rental payment solutions in the emirate.</p>
<p id="eatn8Hva3zg">The partnership reflects both companies’ commitment to providing tenants with more flexible and accessible rental payment options while supporting landlords and property managers with innovative financial solutions.</p>
<p id="eNdKydy2j5E6">By combining Capstone Real Estate’s property management expertise with Keyper’s technology and rental payment solutions, the collaboration aims to create a more convenient and tenant-focused rental experience.</p>
<p id="eclpJuq6N3ye"><strong>Amer Al Ahbabi</strong>, <strong>Chairman of Vertix Holdings</strong>, said, “We are pleased to partner with Keyper to bring greater flexibility to our tenants. The introduction of the RNPM digital system represents an important step in enhancing the rental experience and responding to the evolving needs of tenants in Abu Dhabi.</p>
<p id="euKAAk5M10Lj">“This will help automise the rent payment and collection in a more transparent way offering maximum benefits to tenants and landlords without any downtime. As the region moves towards a more digitised environment, we feel this is the way forward.”</p>
<p id="eq9y79t07dh2"><strong>Muhammad Shoaib</strong>, <strong>Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Real Estate</strong>, said, &#8220;Becoming the first property management company in the emirate to introduce Rent Now, Pay Monthly is a significant milestone for our business and for the market. It responds to what tenants have told us they need, and it strengthens our proposition to landlords by broadening the pool of qualified tenants able to commit to their properties.&#8221;</p>
<p id="eeawX4gbLdaz"><strong>Omar Abu Innab</strong>, <strong>Co</strong><strong>‑</strong><strong>Founder &amp; CEO of Keyper</strong>, said, “We are excited to work with Capstone Real Estate to activate the RNPM digital solution in Abu Dhabi. This partnership demonstrates how technology and innovative payment solutions can help create a more flexible and seamless rental experience for tenants.”</p>
<p id="efuIhkI8_Lim">The partnership is expected to contribute to the continued evolution of Abu Dhabi’s real estate sector by introducing innovative solutions that align with the changing expectations of tenants and property owners.</p><p>The post <a href="https://abudhabipropertyguide.io/capstone-real-estate-partners-with-keyper-to-introduce-flexible-rental-payments-in-abu-dhabi/">Capstone Real Estate Partners With Keyper To Introduce Flexible Rental Payments In Abu Dhabi</a> first appeared on <a href="https://abudhabipropertyguide.io">Abu Dhabi Property Guide</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="eK9Lbi6ycV">Aldar has become the first developer in Abu Dhabi to complete mortgage financing on an off-plan property for its customers through Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre’s (ADREC) newly launched framework that enables the financing bank to be formally named on the mortgage registration certificate before property handover.</p>
<p id="ev1dxIRAc-">The framework allows a customer who has paid 50% of the purchase price to arrange a mortgage against their off-plan property, with the bank funding the remaining installments and the final handover payment. This gives customers certainty over their financing terms in advance, preserves liquidity throughout the construction period, and removes the need to arrange a mortgage at completion. It provides an alternative to traditional financing arranged at handover, giving customers a wider range of financing options and greater choice over rates and terms.</p>
<p id="e6zR5l5ap8">Setting a new precedent for the Abu Dhabi market, Aldar has completed the first registration under the new framework, with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) supporting the initial transactions as the mortgage bank, in line with the <a href="https://www.uaetoday.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UAE</a> Central Bank regulation which requires customers to have paid 50% of the property price to be eligible for off-plan mortgage financing.</p>
<p id="eRRu_z0GAl">Ghazi Saeed Alateibi, Executive Director &#8211; Real Estate Transaction Sector said: “The completion of this registration demonstrates ADREC’s off-plan mortgage registration service in live market use. By enabling mortgage interests in eligible off-plan real estate units to be recorded in the Initial Real Estate Register, the service strengthens transparency and provides greater clarity and protection for buyers, developers and financial institutions. The service is available on a market-wide basis to participating institutions that meet the relevant requirements, supporting a secure and well-regulated off-plan market in Abu Dhabi.”</p>
<p id="eR09NhqvSS">Faisal Falaknaz, Chief Financial and Sustainability Officer at Aldar said: “As Abu Dhabi continues to develop as a leading global business and lifestyle destination, its real estate market is growing in both appeal and sophistication. The new off-plan mortgage framework introduced by ADREC marks an important step in further enhancing the transparency and accessibility of the market. We are proud to have worked with ADREC and ADCB to complete the first transaction, translating the framework into greater financing flexibility for homebuyers, and look forward to extending this opportunity through our wider network of banking partners.”</p>
<p id="eHOR1p-eDL">Aldar customers can access off-plan financing through ‘Home Finance by Aldar’, an in-house mortgage advisory service available to customers without fees. It provides a simple way to explore options from a broad panel of participating banks and identify the most appropriate financing solution.</p>
<p id="eT7W_JdoGL">Home Finance by Aldar provides customers with access to a broad range of lenders, including leading UAE banks such as Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Dubai Islamic Bank, Emirates NBD, Emirates Islamic, First Abu Dhabi Bank and more. Customers can visit the Live Aldar app to access further information and request a call back from the Home Finance by Aldar team.</p><p>The post <a href="https://abudhabipropertyguide.io/aldar-and-adcb-complete-abu-dhabis-first-off-plan-mortgage-under-new-adrec-framework/">Aldar And ADCB Complete Abu Dhabi’s First Off-Plan Mortgage Under New ADREC Framework</a> first appeared on <a href="https://abudhabipropertyguide.io">Abu Dhabi Property Guide</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Residential sales reached AED 86.1 billion ($23.4 billion) in the first half of 2026, up 163.7% from the same period last year, despite regional tensions. Those sales were part of AED 117 billion ($31.9 billion) in total real estate transaction value, up 112% year-over-year and already equal to approximately 82% of the full-year total for 2025<sup>*</sup>.</p>
<p>The market is being shaped by an influx of global capital, as well as the emirate&#8217;s $1.7 trillion in sovereign wealth, which helps fuel the ongoing development of major real estate projects totalling tens of thousands of residential units and millions of square feet of offices, hotels, retail space, and cultural and entertainment venues.</p>
<p>Abu Dhabi has become a major hub for financial institutions and multinational corporations, driving high-net-worth population growth. The number of millionaires residing in the emirate grew by 80% over the past decade, and today&#8217;s millionaire population is expected to double by 2035<sup>*</sup><i>.</i></p>
<p>Johns and Chhatwani bring a proven track record with the Christie&#8217;s International Real Estate brand. In Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah, they have leveraged the brand&#8217;s international referral network and relationship with Christie&#8217;s auction house to serve a global clientele of consumers, investors and developers.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve had a front-row seat to the extraordinary evolution of luxury real estate in the UAE, and we believe Abu Dhabi is entering a defining period,&#8221; said Johns. &#8220;What is happening here isn&#8217;t merely an extension of Dubai&#8217;s growth or a short-term market cycle. Abu Dhabi has its own powerful fundamentals. The market is exceptionally strong today, but the long-term opportunity is what makes it so compelling.&#8221;</p>
<p>Luxury properties across the emirate range in price from approximately AED 2 million to more than AED 200 million ($544,600 to more than $54 million)<sup>*</sup>, and branded residences are a major force in the market, with names including Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons and The St. Regis.</p><p>The post <a href="https://abudhabipropertyguide.io/christies-international-real-estate-launches-in-abu-dhabi-amid-historic-housing-market-growth/">Christie’s International Real Estate Launches In Abu Dhabi Amid Historic Housing-Market Growth</a> first appeared on <a href="https://abudhabipropertyguide.io">Abu Dhabi Property Guide</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class="read">This edition forms part of ADREC’s bi-annual market reporting and is based on sales, lease and mortgage transactions registered during the period.</p>
<p class="read">Rashed Al Omaira, Director General of ADREC, stated, “Numbers measure the markets movement, but understanding the market requires us to look beyond the numbers, to read the trends, understand what is changing, and assess what those changes mean for investors, developers, and decision-makers.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="v1MsoNormal">The latest market data reports from <a href="https://74n5c4m7.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fcromptonpartners.com%2F/1/010201a013418f35-c20d7d13-c17c-4eec-b916-7237b6f4c322-000000/WZI7eQjpaEjkE4ZvQJlskhM1XKs=473" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Crompton Partners</a> reveal that <a href="https://abudhabiverse.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abu Dhabi&#8217;s</a> residential property market saw a marked shift in activity during the second quarter of 2026. The city&#8217;s off-plan (property bought before it is completed) secondary transactions rose by approximately 56 percent from Q1 as buyers increasingly targeted specific projects approaching completion.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">The company&#8217;s latest <a href="https://74n5c4m7.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fcromptonpartners.com%2Fresources%2Fcromptons-q2-2026-off-plan-secondary-market-report/1/010201a013418f35-c20d7d13-c17c-4eec-b916-7237b6f4c322-000000/bLXpgMIwiHwM_ArpJxOOKUziTOc=473" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Q2 2026 Off-Plan Secondary Market Report </a>recorded 883 transactions across 25,422 active off-plan units, compared with 567 transactions in Q1.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Yas Island &#8211; Abu Dhabi&#8217;s entertainment, leisure and residential hub &#8211; remained the centre of off-plan secondary activity, accounting for 366 transactions; more than 40 percent of the total recorded during the quarter. Yas Island Apartments generated 245 transactions, while North Yas recorded a further 121.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Yas Island&#8217;s Gardenia district was the single busiest project, with 156 transactions during Q2, while some of the strongest turnover rates were recorded in developments approaching or moving towards handover. Sustainable City led the market with an annual turnover rate of 18.8 percent, followed by Yas Golf Collection at 17.9 percent, Reem Eleven at 16.1 percent and Manarat Living 1 at 15.4 percent.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"><a href="https://74n5c4m7.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fcdn.roxhillmedia.com%2Fproduction%2Femail%2Fattachment%2F1840001_1850000%2F5fbd30906a5d7efa7e052ceb27b4e984d18a822a.jpg/2/010201a013418f35-c20d7d13-c17c-4eec-b916-7237b6f4c322-000000/-xEJZ4N8p055sA9PsURxR1THVRc=473" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ben Crompton,</a> Managing Partner of Crompton Partners, said: &#8220;The most interesting change this quarter is a distinct acceleration in the off-plan secondary market. Buyers are becoming much more specific about what they want, and we are seeing particularly strong liquidity in well-priced projects where completion is visible and buyers can see clearly what they are purchasing.&#8221;</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">&#8220;This is increasingly a project-by-project market, rather than one where an investor can simply choose an area and expect everything within it to perform in the same way. Handover timing, product, price point and the depth of the resale market all matter.&#8221;</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">&#8220;At the same time, the built market is giving us another important signal. Transaction numbers have moderated from the first quarter, but prices across many established communities are still showing substantial annual gains. That tells us demand has not disappeared. It is becoming more selective.&#8221;</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Meanwhile,<strong> </strong>across the six key areas covered by Crompton Partners&#8217; latest <a href="https://74n5c4m7.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fcromptonpartners.com%2Fresources%2Fcromptons-q2-2026-abu-dhabi-secondary-market-report/1/010201a013418f35-c20d7d13-c17c-4eec-b916-7237b6f4c322-000000/J58kO4YQLFMWFnWMVSfq3RVolCA=473" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Secondary Market Transaction Report</a>, some 483 properties changed hands for a combined AED 1.25 billion during Q2 2026.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">High-rise residential and commercial zone, Reem Island, remained the most active established residential market, recording 223 transactions worth AED 399.3 million, accounting for almost half of all the transactions covered in the report.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Price growth on Reem was also broad-based. Average prices per square metre increased year on year by 33.6 percent at Sun Sky Gate, 27.1 percent in Najmat, 25.7 percent at Marina Square, 20.2 percent in City of Lights and 19.8 percent across Shams Reem Island.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Al Reef district also emerged as one of the quarter&#8217;s strongest performers, with 108 transactions worth AED 183.7 million. Al Reef Villas 2 recorded a 59.3 percent annual increase in average prices and the fastest annualised turnover rate in the built market report, at 12.56 percent. Al Reef Apartments rose 40.2 percent year on year.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">On Yas Island, Yas Acres recorded a 57.6 percent annual increase in average prices, while Water&#8217;s Edge rose 32 percent and Noya 29.2 percent.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">The capital city&#8217;s<strong> </strong>cultural, luxury and beachfront destination, Saadiyat Island, continued to stand apart from the wider market in terms of transaction values.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Just 13 transactions generated a massive AED 273.6 million during Q2, with HIDD alone accounting for AED 205.5 million across six sales.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Mamsha remained the highest-priced community tracked by Crompton Partners at AED 57,365 per sqm, while Saadiyat Beach Villas recorded the largest year-on-year price increase in the report, at 83.9 percent, although Ben Crompton cautions that percentage changes in very low-volume communities should be treated carefully.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Ben Crompton added: &#8220;Abu Dhabi is now demonstrating several different property markets operating at the same time. Reem remains the liquidity engine of the established apartment market, while Saadiyat continues to command exceptional values at the premium end. Al Reef is showing very strong price and transaction momentum, and Yas is dominating off-plan secondary activity.&#8221;</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">&#8220;For buyers and investors, the lesson is that broad market averages are becoming less useful. The important questions are increasingly about the individual community and project: how much stock is actually trading, who is buying it, how close it is to completion and are prices being supported by genuine liquidity?&#8221;</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">The off-plan data also points to growing activity beyond Abu Dhabi&#8217;s traditional island communities. The Abu Dhabi outskirts recorded 235 transactions during Q2, led by Al Reeman with 148 sales and Bloom Living with 80, highlighting continued demand for family-oriented communities at more accessible price points.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Saadiyat&#8217;s off-plan market is also developing as projects move closer to delivery. Saadiyat Cultural District recorded 97 secondary transactions during the quarter, while Saadiyat South recorded 139.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Crompton Partners publishes its market reports quarterly to give buyers, investors, sellers and landlords a uniquely detailed view of Abu Dhabi property performance at community and project level, including transaction activity, pricing, turnover and resale liquidity.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><a href="https://abudhabiverse.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abu Dhabi&#8217;s</a> luxury residential market is evolving as buyers place greater emphasis on long-term value, quality of design and the overall living experience, according to <a href="http://mered.ae"><u>MERED</u></a>, the award-winning international real estate developer.</h3>
<p>The shift is being underpinned by continued market momentum. According to Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC) transaction data, Abu Dhabi recorded AED65.4 billion in real estate transactions year-to-date, including AED48.7 billion in sales, AED14.8 billion in mortgage activity and AED8.2 billion in foreign direct investment from investors representing more than 100 countries. The data also highlights continued activity across Abu Dhabi&#8217;s established waterfront destinations, reflecting sustained investor interest in integrated lifestyle communities.</p>
<p><em><i>&#8220;Headline market growth tells only part of the story. Buyers are increasingly distinguishing between developments that command a premium because of genuine quality and those benefiting from broader market momentum. Abu Dhabi&#8217;s luxury residential market has evolved significantly. Buyers are no longer evaluating developments solely on location, size or finishes. They&#8217;re evaluating the complete living experience and the credibility of the developer behind it. That&#8217;s a sign of a healthier, more mature market. As expectations rise, developers have to think beyond creating impressive buildings and focus instead on creating places where people genuinely want to live for years to come,&#8221; said </i></em><strong><em><b><i>Michael Belton, CEO of MERED.</i></b></em></strong></p>
<p>Drawing on its experience in Abu Dhabi&#8217;s premium residential sector, MERED believes three themes are increasingly shaping buyer decisions across the market.</p>
<p><strong><b>Trend 1 &#8211; The rise of destination living </b></strong></p>
<p>One of the most significant shifts MERED is observing is that buyers are increasingly comparing destinations rather than developments. Decisions are being shaped not only by the quality of a residence, but by the broader environment that surrounds it, from public waterfronts and landscaped open spaces to dining, wellness, culture and walkability. Luxury developments are increasingly expected to contribute to a complete neighbourhood rather than exist as standalone residential assets.</p>
<p>The market continues to concentrate around established lifestyle destinations, with Al Reem Island and Yas Island leading transaction activity, while Saadiyat Island remains the benchmark for Abu Dhabi&#8217;s ultra-premium residential offering, reflecting a broader shift in buyer behaviour. Increasingly, established waterfront destinations are valued not only for their location but also for the lifestyle they offer, combining residential communities with hospitality, retail, wellness, culture and public spaces that support long-term liveability.</p>
<p><strong><b>Trend 2 &#8211; Execution has become the ultimate differentiator</b></strong></p>
<p>Off-plan continues to perform strongly, but buyers are placing greater emphasis on construction progress, delivery certainty and the developer&#8217;s ability to execute on its vision before making a purchasing decision. Approximately 65% of residential sales continue to take place in the off-plan market, underscoring sustained confidence in Abu Dhabi&#8217;s development pipeline. That confidence, however, is increasingly being earned through visible execution rather than marketing alone.</p>
<p><strong><b>Trend 3 &#8211; Global design, local identity </b></strong></p>
<p>As Abu Dhabi attracts a broader international investor base, buyers are bringing higher expectations around architecture, interiors and landscape design. Increasingly, these disciplines are viewed as long-term value drivers rather than aesthetic enhancements.</p>
<p>This shift is also reflected in the growing international appeal of Abu Dhabi&#8217;s residential market. Foreign direct investment reached AED8.2 billion, with buyers from more than 100 countries participating in the market.</p>
<p>These principles are reflected in Riviera Residences, MERED&#8217;s landmark waterfront development on Al Reem Island, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog &amp; de Meuron. The project combines over 400 residences with a limited collection of 11 villas, integrated landscape design by Michel Desvigne Paysagiste and a waterfront promenade conceived as a vibrant public destination, bringing together architecture, landscape and community planning in line with the trends shaping the next phase of Abu Dhabi&#8217;s luxury residential market.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, MERED expects Abu Dhabi&#8217;s premium residential market to continue benefiting from the emirate&#8217;s economic diversification, regulatory transparency and growing international profile. However, as competition increases, the company believes the projects that will stand out are those that create lasting value through exceptional design, disciplined execution and thoughtfully curated living environments.</p>
