About Aldar Properties

Aldar Properties is Abu Dhabi's largest developer and a pillar of the emirate's urban development strategy. The developer behind Yas Island, Saadiyat Island (in partnership with the government), Al Raha Beach, and Al Reem Island, Aldar occupies the same brand position in Abu Dhabi that Emaar holds in Dubai.

Aldar's portfolio spans residential, commercial, retail (Yas Mall, The Galleria), hospitality, and schools (Aldar Academies network). Recent acquisitions of Emaar Egypt and expansion into Dubai via the Athlon community mark a new growth phase. ADNOC and the Abu Dhabi government remain anchor shareholders.
