Aldar Development, Abu Dhabi’s leading property development company, reported sales of Dh1.1 billion in Q4, bringing the full year total sales to a record figure of Dh7.2 billion. Major project launches including multiple phases of Noya and Yas Acres, Al Gurm and the third phase of Saadiyat Reserve were the primary drivers behind this highest-ever sales figure. Sales were supported by a broadening customer profile, with an increasing number of younger and female buyers purchasing properties in Abu Dhabi.
The overseas and resident expat customer segment showed strong demand throughout the year, representing 44 per cent of Aldar’s sales, up 32 per cent from the previous year. Yas Island remains a key priority, with developments on the island accounting for 62 per cent of the total value of sales throughout 2021.
