Aldar Investment has announced a sweeping Dh3.8 billion exercise to build new homes for the rental sector across Abu Dhabi, underlining its confidence in long-term demand and recurring income streams.
On the residential front, Aldar plans a major community in Al Shamkha offering almost 2,000 units — studios, one-, two- and three-beds — targeting the rental market with lifestyle amenities, open green space and community retail. The location benefits from proximity to Zayed International Airport and fast highway links connecting Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Supply remains tight, especially for well-located, ready-to-move-in rental stock, fueling upward pressure on both rents and capital values. In Q1 2025 the average transaction price for ready homes stood at about Dh2.5 million in Abu Dhabi City, the highest in recent quarters.
