H1 2026 Group Highlights:

• Group revenue reached a semi-annual record of AED 9.2 billion, a 40% year-on-year increase, driven by growth across multiple segments with accelerated development progress, a full half-year contribution from Arena following its acquisition in May 2025, improved hospitality performance, and resilient recurring leasing income.

• Group Adjusted EBITDA¹ reached AED 3.0 billion and Group net profit AED 2.2 billion. Excluding prior year one-off items related to realised gains on the disposal of non-core financial assets and the corresponding dividend income, Adjusted EBITDA and net profit increased by 18% and 23% year-on-year respectively, reflecting the strength and resilience of the Group’s underlying earnings. Adjusted EBITDA margin stood at a robust 32.6% primarily reflecting changes in business mix.

• The Group maintained a strong liquidity and capital position, with AED 8.6 billion of unrestricted cash and AED 1.5 billion of undrawn committed facilities, providing continued financial flexibility to fund future growth while maintaining a conservatively managed balance sheet.

• Group revenue backlog increased to a record AED 65.4 billion, doubling year-on-year and rising 42% since FY 2025, providing strong multi-year earnings visibility. Development projects across the UAE and Egypt accounted for 95% of the total backlog.

• Real Estate remained the Group’s primary earnings driver supported by ongoing execution across flagship master-planned developments. Real Estate sales reached AED 26 billion across Abu Dhabi, Egypt and Spain, reinforced by the record-breaking launch of Hudayriyat Golf Estates alongside the successful sell-out of Tara Park on Reem Island, demonstrating continued demand for high-quality residential communities in Abu Dhabi. Internationally, strong momentum continued at Wadi Yemm in Egypt through the launch of additional phases, and at the ultra-luxury La Zagaleta estate in Spain.

• Events, Catering & Tourism demonstrated resilient underlying performance, supported by the full-period contribution of Arena and recent acquisition of Production Elements Inc (PEI), despite a period of softer tourism demand.

• Asset & Investment Management continued to strengthen the Group’s recurring income base, supported by higher rental yields, consistently high occupancy levels and active portfolio optimisation. Performance was driven by broad-based growth across all asset classes.

• International investments also progressed, supporting long-term geographic diversification, with the Group recognising its first profit contribution from Wellington Lifestyle Partners in Florida and commencing construction of the Harborside 4 joint venture in Jersey City. Construction at 2 Finsbury Avenue in London continues to make progress, with exterior and internal works advancing for both towers.

• Hospitality delivered improved operational performance, driven by disciplined revenue management, operational efficiencies and continued progress toward an owner-operator model. The business successfully diversified demand sources during periods of softer international tourism, demonstrating the resilience of its operating model and brand positioning.

Jassem Bu Ataba Al Zaabi, Chairman of Modon Holding, said:“Modon’s performance in the first half of 2026 demonstrates the strength of the Group’s ambition, agility and resilience, translating a bold long-term vision into sustainable value while advancing growth. Strong results across our integrated portfolio highlight the institutional strength, operational excellence and strategic foresight that continue to define Modon’s success.

Supported by a diverse business platform and expanding international footprint, the Group is well positioned to capture emerging opportunities and deliver consistent, long-term value for shareholders. Modon remains focused on creating lasting impact for investors and customers, extending its scale and global reach while contributing meaningfully to Abu Dhabi’s economic and social development ambitions.”

Abdulla AL Sahi, Group Managing Director Oo Modon Holding, said:“Modon has successfully generated consistent year-on-year revenue and profit growth. An exceptional performance from real estate positioned Modon as the largest developer in Abu Dhabi in terms of sales value during H1. This included the UAE’s highest-ever single-project sales value for the launch of Hudayriyat Golf Estates, with AED 13 billion achieved within days.

Successful repositioning of services for Events, Catering and Tourism, as well as Hospitality assets pivoting to local guests, ensured we maintained growth across the Group throughout the six months, while higher rental yields and strong performance from Asset and Investment Management further strengthened the Group’s recurring income base.”

Bill O’regan,

Group CEO of Modon Holding, added: “The Group’s H1 2026 performance reflects the continued execution of Modon’s strategy, the strength of its integrated platform and its international presence. Delivering a record AED 9.2 billion in revenue with AED 2.2 billion in net profit demonstrates the scale of Modon’s ambition, its capability to deliver on commitments, and a business model built on sound foundations.

Our Group revenue backlog of AED 65.4 billion, alongside additional income-generating assets coming online, ensure a positive outlook for future growth. As we move into the second half of the year and beyond into 2027, Modon will expand on its objectives, maintaining forward progress with a disciplined and relentless focus on delivery.”

Zayard Memora is a luxury boutique compound situated in the Green Belt district of New Sheikh Zayed City. The project extends over 7.5 feddans, with a built-up area limited to 25% of the total land area, allowing the majority of the site to be dedicated to landscaped gardens, internal roads, and integrated service areas.

The development enjoys a prime strategic location with easy access to the Central Axis Road, Al Wahat Road, El Dabaa Axis, and the Cairo–Alexandria Desert Road. It is also just minutes away from Cairo International University, Dahshour Link Road, Mall of Arabia, and Sphinx International Airport.

The project has been designed through a collaboration between the internationally renowned ASQ Architecture, operating in Cyprus and the United Kingdom, and Egypt’s BOLD ARCHITECTS. Together, they have adopted a distinctive multicultural design approach that harmonizes architecture with human-centered living while creating strong connections between nature, community life, architecture, and the surrounding urban environment.

The philosophy behind Zayard Memora is inspired by the word “memory,” reflecting the company’s vision of creating a residential community where a limited number of residents can build lasting memories through a unique living experience. The project focuses primarily on three-bedroom homes, reinforcing its family-oriented character. Residential offerings include three-bedroom townhouses with a built-up area of 240 square meters, as well as three-bedroom standalone villas with a built-up area of 245 square meters.

Zayard Developments expressed its appreciation to the Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities and the New Urban Communities Authority for their tangible role in advancing Egypt’s urban development. The company stated that the issuance of the ministerial decree represents another successful milestone in a series of implementation achievements since its establishment and reflects its vision of delivering projects that combine prime locations, high-quality real estate products, and efficient execution.

The company added that the project embodies its philosophy of offering developments that combine quality of life with the integrated services typically found in luxury communities, while maintaining a lower population density to provide a more private and distinguished residential experience. Zayard Memora features a contemporary design centered on technology and sustainability, reducing resource consumption and enhancing energy efficiency. The project also offers all the features sought by both Egyptian and international buyers, making it well-positioned to support the export of Egyptian real estate.

Founded two years ago, Zayard Developments specializes in mixed-use developments, including residential, administrative, commercial, and hospitality projects. The company plans to launch two new developments before the end of the current year.

Residential market

Abu Dhabi’s residential market remained resilient during the second quarter of 2026, with residential transaction volumes 85% higher than Q2 2025 despite moderating from the record levels seen in Q1. H1 2026 performance also remained exceptionally strong, with residential transaction volumes increasing by 107% compared with H1 2025, underpinned by record off-plan activity and sustained buyer demand.

The off-plan market continued to dominate activity, accounting for 85% of all residential transactions, while approximately 2,100 residential units were launched during the quarter, reflecting continued developer confidence despite broader regional uncertainty. Apartments represented 78% of all residential transactions, while the quarter also recorded several landmark ultra-prime sales, including the AED 200 million penthouse transaction at Four Seasons Private Residences on Saadiyat Island.

Residential prices remained resilient despite more measured activity. Median apartment prices eased by 6.6% quarter-on-quarter, while villa and townhouse prices recorded a more modest 3.3% adjustment. Savills notes that these movements largely reflect the mix of transactions and newly launched developments rather than a broad-based decline in underlying values.

Andrew Cummings, Head of Residential Agency at Savills Middle East, commented, “Following an exceptional start to the year, the market has naturally transitioned towards a more sustainable pace during the second quarter. Whilst transaction volumes moderated compared with the record levels seen in Q1, Q2 residential transactions remained 85% higher than Q2 2025, while H1 2026 transaction volumes increased by 107% compared with H1 2025, highlighting the continued strength of Abu Dhabi’s residential market.

The underlying fundamentals remain firmly intact. Demand continues to be driven by end-users and off-plan buyers, developer confidence remains high, and the pace of new project launches reflects continued confidence in Abu Dhabi’s long-term growth story. Importantly, much of the recent sales activity has yet to be reflected in official transaction data due to the lag between project launches, sales activity and transaction registration. Combined with continued economic diversification, population growth and investment into the emirate, we remain confident Abu Dhabi’s residential market is well positioned for continued growth over the medium term.”

Office market

Abu Dhabi’s office market also experienced a more measured quarter, with total leasing transactions declining 5% quarter-on-quarter to 10,760 transactions. Savills attributes the slowdown to the typical seasonal effects of Ramadan, Eid and the onset of summer, compounded by regional geopolitical uncertainty that prompted some occupiers to defer leasing decisions rather than cancel them altogether. Despite this, office leasing activity during the first half of 2026 remained 4% higher than H2 2025, highlighting the market’s underlying resilience.

Demand continued to be concentrated in the Grade A segment, particularly within ADGM, which accounted for approximately two-thirds of recorded office enquiries during H1 2026. Financial services firms remained the primary source of demand, alongside legal, technology, healthcare and insurance occupiers, while flexible workspace continued to gain traction.

Looking ahead, approximately 170,000 sq m of new Grade A office space is expected to be delivered through developments including One Maryah Place, Yas Business Park and Saadiyat Business Park, with most scheduled for completion during 2027. Given the limited near-term pipeline, Savills expects Grade A availability to remain constrained, supporting high occupancy levels and rental resilience.

Harry Ransom, Head of Commercial Agency at Savills Middle East, commented, “Whilst leasing activity moderated during Q2, this should be viewed as a temporary pause in decision-making rather than a weakening in occupier demand. Businesses remain committed to Abu Dhabi, particularly within the Grade A segment, where availability continues to be constrained.

As regional stability improves and deferred requirements return to the market, we expect leasing activity to strengthen during the second half of the year. Combined with Abu Dhabi’s continued economic diversification, ADGM’s growing role as a regional financial hub and a limited supply of premium office space, these fundamentals are expected to support sustained occupier demand and rental resilience over the medium term.”

Outlook

Looking ahead, Savills expects both sectors to remain well supported by Abu Dhabi’s strong economic fundamentals, continued investment, population growth and business-friendly environment. While Q2 reflected a more measured pace following an exceptionally strong start to the year, the market continues to demonstrate resilience, with healthy demand, sustained development activity and positive long-term growth prospects across both the residential and office sectors.

The launch comes at a time when Abu Dhabi’s real estate market continues to experience strong growth, driven by increasing demand for integrated residential developments offering premium living environments, strategic locations, and world-class amenities.

The project distinguishes itself by allocating 67% of its total land area to landscaped gardens, water features, and outdoor recreational facilities, reflecting Burtville’s commitment to creating communities that promote healthier and more balanced lifestyles. Residents will enjoy expansive green spaces, a 275-metre water canal, a 360-metre jogging track, a variety of sports and leisure facilities, and carefully designed open spaces that enhance wellbeing and quality of life.

Strategically located directly opposite Masdar City’s Central Park and along the city’s main boulevard, the development offers convenient access to key educational, commercial, and leisure destinations, while being only minutes away from Zayed International Airport, further strengthening its appeal for both homeowners and investors.

Bab Al Qasr Garden Residences 65 features a wide selection of fully furnished residences ranging from one-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom homes, including duplexes and sky villas. For the first time in Masdar City, the project also introduces selected one- and two-bedroom residences with private gardens, offering residents a unique blend of privacy and nature-inspired living.

As a branded residential development under the Bab Al Qasr hospitality brand, residents will benefit from an integrated hospitality-inspired lifestyle, with access to optional premium hotel services. Homeowners will also enjoy exclusive five-year privileges, including complimentary access to the private beach and swimming pool at Bab Al Qasr Hotel, 25% discounts on hotel services, and complimentary access to Yas Beach for up to six family members for five years.

The development also includes 11 retail outlets designed to serve residents and the surrounding community, creating a vibrant mixed-use environment that caters to everyday lifestyle needs.

Burtville Developments stated that the launch of Bab Al Qasr Garden Residences 65 forms part of its long-term strategy to develop residential communities that redefine quality of life in Abu Dhabi while responding to the evolving expectations of homebuyers and investors seeking integrated lifestyle destinations. The company noted that purchasing decisions today are no longer driven solely by location or architectural design, but increasingly by the overall living experience, the quality of services, and the project’s long-term investment potential.

The company further explained that the project has been designed around a people-first philosophy, dedicating more than two-thirds of its total area to landscaped green spaces and open-air amenities that support healthier and more sustainable living. Its partnership with the Bab Al Qasr hospitality brand adds a distinctive dimension by combining luxury residential living with premium hotel-inspired services, a concept that continues to witness growing demand among both local and international buyers.

Burtville also highlighted that Masdar City continues to strengthen its position as one of Abu Dhabi’s leading sustainable urban destinations, thanks to its advanced infrastructure and strategic location, factors that further enhance the project’s long-term investment appeal. Construction has already commenced, and the development is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2030, with delivery in accordance with the company’s highest standards of quality and execution.

The project forms part of Burtville Developments’ broader expansion strategy to deliver distinctive developments across Abu Dhabi’s most prominent locations, focusing on creating long-term value for homeowners and investors through superior quality, timely delivery, and sustainable communities designed to meet the needs of current and future generations.

The destination was inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, who visited the project launch site to view the masterplan accompanied by Aldar’s Chairman His Excellency Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, and Group Chief Executive Officer Talal Al Dhiyebi.

Aldar is the master developer of Marsa Al Saadiyat, responsible for its overall design and delivery of its primary infrastructure, and during the visit His Highness directed the renaming of the project from Saadiyat Marina District to Marsa Al Saadiyat.

Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of Aldar commented: “Marsa Al Saadiyat marks the activation of the final phase of the Saadiyat Island masterplan, and with it, the beginning of the most ambitious chapter yet in the island’s evolution. Abu Dhabi today stands among the world’s most compelling destinations for long-term capital, offering a combination of vision, economic momentum and a quality of life that continues to attract the most discerning investors and residents from around the world. Marsa Al Saadiyat is a direct expression of that confidence: a development of genuine global scale, conceived with an ambition that reflects Abu Dhabi’s place on the world stage.”

Talal Al Dhiyebi, Group Chief Executive Officer at Aldar, said: “Marsa Al Saadiyat is a landmark development for Abu Dhabi, reinforcing the emirate’s emergence as a powerful force in the global luxury landscape. With a development value of AED 100 billion, the masterplan will add significant scale and character to the island, a destination already recognised as one of the most compelling cultural and lifestyle addresses in the world.”

Saadiyat Island has established itself as Abu Dhabi’s most distinctive address, where culture, nature, and island life come together in a setting unlike anywhere else. Marsa Al Saadiyat is the next significant addition to that story, complementing a destination that already offers one of the world’s top 20 beaches, protected natural habitats, and the greatest concentration of cultural institutions, including the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Natural History Museum, the Zayed National Museum, teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi, and the upcoming Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.

Marsa Al Saadiyat will be home to over 58,000 residents, who will reside in private mansions, luxury villas, waterfront apartments, branded residences, and a 22.5-metre hillside community of standalone villas, each positioned to make the most of the surrounding landscape.

At the centre of the destination is Abu Dhabi’s largest marina, lined with waterfront restaurants and featuring more than 350 berths accommodating everything from sailing boats to superyachts. It forms the focal point of a waterfront community that spans eight kilometres of coastline and a total development area of 6.4 million square metres.

Active and outdoor life has been integrated into the masterplan from the outset, reflecting the island’s broader connection to nature and wellbeing. The destination offers 5.6 km of beach, approximately 140 km of interconnected walking paths, and a 46 km cycling loop, with every home located within 150 metres of the route.

Designed so that daily life unfolds within the community rather than outside it, the masterplan is woven together by a network of green linear parks, anchored by a landscaped central park that extends to the waterfront, children’s play areas, community clubhouses with outdoor pools, sports courts, premium healthcare, and three schools, ensuring that amenities are never more than a walk, cycle or short drive from home.

A scenic walkway connects the destination directly to Saadiyat Cultural District, placing residents within easy reach of the island’s world-class museums, dining, and five-star hospitality. Within Marsa Al Saadiyat itself, a one-kilometre promenade of retail, dining, a yacht club, and two luxury hotels provides its own social and commercial core, alongside a theatre district that will be anchored by Dar al Funoon, a performing arts venue with capacity for more than 6,000 guests to enjoy musicals, live productions, and international performances.

The island’s offer for families is well established, with each stage of the education journey catered to from nurseries to universities. Internationally recognized institutions such as NYU Abu Dhabi, Berklee Abu Dhabi, Cranleigh Abu Dhabi, American Community School of Abu Dhabi, and Harrow International School Abu Dhabi are accessible to residents across the community.

Marsa Al Saadiyat extends Aldar’s vision for Saadiyat Island as a place where every neighbourhood is connected to experiences that enrich everyday life. With the Cultural District, established beachfront communities, and the island’s natural environment all within reach, it adds a new chapter to an island that continues to set the standard for how people experience life in Abu Dhabi.

Through a series of new roads and tunnels, Marsa Al Saadiyat will connect directly to both Umm Yifeenah Island and Reem Island, resulting in a major infrastructure update that will significantly reduce travel time from Saadiyat Island to Abu Dhabi mainland. The destination will also be connected by bridge to a new island that is being developed by Aldar off the coast of Saadiyat Island. An Etihad Rail underground high-speed rail station, integrated within a Transit-Oriented Development hub, will further enhance sustainable mobility and connectivity to the wider UAE.

Marsa Al Saadiyat is targeting an Estidama 2 Pearl rating for the masterplan, while also applying Fitwel principles for wellbeing in the built environment. Key assets within the destination will aim for LEED Silver and Gold certification, complemented by advanced digital infrastructure and smart-city technologies integrated throughout the development.

Sales of the first homes at Marsa Al Saadiyat will start in the second half of 2026, with site enabling and infrastructure works to commence in Q3.

The project builds on the success of Rixos Financial Center Road Residences in Dubai, the first ever Rixos branded residences worldwide, also designed by Aedas. Following strong market response, East&West Properties has once again appointed Aedas to develop the next Rixos residential destination in the UAE, reflecting continued confidence in the practice’s expertise in branded living.

Conceived as a refined waterfront address, the development is strategically positioned to capture views of the sea and Abu Dhabi skyline. In response to the highly saturated urban context of Al Reem Island, often characterised by repetitive glass façades, the design adopts a more restrained architectural language, where simplicity becomes a defining gesture. The tower’s massing and façade are carefully articulated to optimise orientation, enhance residential comfort, and establish a clear, elegant identity within the skyline. At podium level, landscaped terraces and activated edges create a strong connection to the public realm, supporting pedestrian engagement and urban integration.

The collaboration between Aedas and East&West Properties reflects a shared ambition to deliver distinctive residential destinations that align architecture, hospitality, and lifestyle. Through this partnership, both parties contribute to the growing demand for branded residential experiences across the region.

With this project, Aedas further expands its portfolio of branded residential developments in the Middle East, reinforcing its role in shaping integrated, hospitality led living environments.

RESIDENTIAL PERFORMANCE

Apartment prices across Abu Dhabi’s key districts recorded appreciation in the year to June 2026, with values on Yas Island and Al Reem Island both increasing by approximately 18% year-on-year. Al Saadiyat Island maintained its position as the emirate’s most premium apartment market, with average transaction prices reaching approximately AED 43,100 per sqm in the year to June 2026, a year-on-year increase of around 21%, underscoring the resilience of the luxury segment.

In contrast, villa price performance was more fragmented. Al Jubail Island recorded the strongest annual price growth at approximately 40%, while Al Reem Island declined by 22% over the same period. Al Saadiyat Island remained the most expensive villa location in Abu Dhabi, with average transaction values of approximately AED 26,500 per sqm in the year to June 2026, continuing to command a material price premium over all other districts tracked by Knight Frank.

Faisal Durrani, Partner – Head of Research, MENA, said: “Despite the geopolitical challenges posed by the ongoing regional conflict, Abu Dhabi’s residential market continues to be supported by robust domestic demand, with prime waterfront communities such as Al Saadiyat and Yas Island leading the emirate’s price growth. The breadth of price appreciation across both apartments and villas reflects this. Aiding this positive momentum of course is the emirate’s relative affordability, when compared to Dubai, with prices on average 10% lower than Dubai.”

FUTURE SUPPLY

Abu Dhabi’s residential pipeline for 2026-2030 stands at approximately 36,900 units under construction, with apartments accounting for 66% and villas 33%, while serviced apartments represent a marginal share of just 1%, according to Knight Frank’s analysis. Approximately 70% of the apartment pipeline is scheduled for completion in 2026 and 2027, although Knight Frank cautions of possible delays due to construction raw material price hikes, alongside increasing shipping insurance premiums and costs.

Yas Island dominates the community-level pipeline with approximately 7,700 units under construction, followed by Fahid Island (3,550 units) and Saadiyat Island (3,250 units).

Shehzad Jamal, Partner – Real Estate Consultancy, MENA added:“With close to 37,000 homes in the pipeline through to 2030, supply is beginning to catch up with several years of sustained demand. Even so, the concentration of new stock in a handful of master-planned communities means well-located, ready properties in areas like Al Saadiyat and Yas Island are likely to retain their premium.”

OFFICE MARKET

Abu Dhabi’s office leasing market showed its first signs of moderation in the year to June 2026, following several years of uninterrupted growth. Leasing volumes reached approximately 53,200 transactions across full-year 2025, extending a five-year run of continued annual growth and representing an 11% increase on 2024’s already elevated total of around 49,300 transactions.

However, H1 2026 leasing transactions totalled approximately 23,616, a decline of around 13% compared to the same period in 2025 (27,152), marking the first meaningful year-on-year contraction of the current cycle. The softening in rental volume transactions was broadly across all districts, while Al Reem Island was the notable exception, posting a sharp increase of over 148%. Musaffah and Al Danah retained their positions as the two most active leasing districts by transaction volume, although here too both locations recorded year-on-year rental volume contractions of 12% and 20%, respectively.

FUTURE SUPPLY

Approximately 428,000 sqm of new office space is scheduled for delivery between 2026 and 2028, evenly distributed across 2026 (166,000 sqm) and 2027 (165,000 sqm) before Knight Frank expects this to decline to 98,000 sqm in 2028. The volume of incoming supply, set against the current softening in leasing demand, points to potential upward pressure on vacancies in the near term.

James Hodgets, Partner – Occupier Strategy & Solutions, MEA: “The outlook for Abu Dhabi’s office market is firmly positive. Occupancy stands at around 98% with rental rates up year-on-year, and with only around 166,000 sq. m of new supply due in 2026, Grade A space will remain scarce.”

Sales of the project’s residential units are set to commence on 29th July.

The development comprises 592 apartments across six mid-rise buildings, offering studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. The community also features more than 10,000 sqm of landscaped open space, with shaded pathways, gardens, outdoor wellness areas, and social spaces.

The Canopies is located minutes from Yas Island’s leading entertainment and lifestyle attractions.

This growth amounted to 112 percent compared with the same period in 2025, while the number of transactions increased by 61.7 percent, reaffirming Abu Dhabi’s position as a global destination for real estate investment.

Sales transactions led real estate activity during the first half of the year, with their value rising by 163.7 percent to AED86.1 billion across 16,838 transactions compared with the same period last year, reflecting continued strength in actual demand and the expansion of the investor base. Mortgage transactions recorded notable growth of 33.5 percent to reach AED26.7 billion through 8,876 transactions. Musataha and long-term lease transactions amounted to around AED4 billion, while gift transactions reached AED311.5 million.

The Centre’s data also revealed the performance of foreign direct investment, which reached AED13.8 billion during the first half of 2026, an increase of 309 percent compared with the same period last year. The value of foreign direct investment recorded during the first six months of the year exceeded the total achieved throughout 2025, marking the highest level of foreign direct investment ever recorded during the first half of a year and reflecting growing confidence among international investors and the attractiveness of Abu Dhabi’s real estate market.

The number of nationalities represented by non-resident foreign investors in Abu Dhabi’s real estate market rose to 116 during the first half of the year, compared with 82 nationalities during the same period last year. The United Kingdom, China, Russia, the United States, Germany and France ranked among the leading sources of foreign direct investment. Abu Dhabi’s investment zones, which are open to ownership by investors of all nationalities, attracted total investment of AED75 billion during the first half of 2026, an increase of 181 percent compared with AED26.7 billion during the same period last year.

Rashed Al Omaira, Director-General of the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre, said, “Investment decisions begin long before any transaction is completed. They start with a clear understanding of the market, its trends and the regulatory frameworks governing it. From this standpoint, our focus at the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre is on providing investors with the highest level of clarity and credibility from the outset through a transparent regulatory framework and reliable, continuously updated market data, giving them a strong basis to assess investment opportunities and make long-term decisions. As Abu Dhabi’s real estate market continues to evolve, the true measure of success lies not only in the scale of growth, but also in how that growth is achieved, ensuring that the regulatory environment remains aligned with the emirate’s long-term strategic direction.”

As part of efforts to support the sustainable growth of the real estate market, the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre approved eight new investment zones, bringing the total number of investment zones in the emirate to 50. The Centre also registered 28 new real estate projects during the first half of the year, an increase of 16 percent compared with the same period last year, reflecting continued activity in real estate development and the availability of new investment opportunities for local and international investors across the emirate.

Real estate professions also continued to grow, with the Centre issuing 2,040 licences for real estate professions during the first half of the year, representing annual growth of 34 percent. The number of licensed real estate brokers in the emirate reached 3,302.

The Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre continues to implement initiatives aimed at enhancing transparency and the use of data in the real estate market through the development of its digital services ecosystem. Since its launch, the Madhmoun platform has contributed to the issuance of more than 41,200 permits for real estate advertisements, enhancing the quality and credibility of real estate information available in the market and reinforcing the confidence of investors and stakeholders in real estate advertisements through continued transparency and trust in Abu Dhabi’s real estate sector.
