Abu Dhabi’s real estate market witnessed continued growth in the first half of 2025, as transaction activity in both residential and commercial sectors gained momentum. Key infrastructure developments, including Etihad Rail and the upcoming Disneyland on Yas Island, have significantly contributed to rising property values and increased rental demand in high-potential areas.
This trend reflects sustained investor confidence in Abu Dhabi’s long-term economic vision and its appeal as a stable, high-growth property market in the UAE.
Infrastructure Projects Driving Real Estate Growth
The expansion of Etihad Rail is reshaping inter-emirate connectivity, making Abu Dhabi more accessible and further enhancing the attractiveness of real estate zones such as Yas Island, Al Raha, and Saadiyat Island. At the same time, the highly anticipated launch of Disneyland has positioned Yas Island as a focal point for tourism, hospitality, and residential investment.
These major developments are not only boosting demand for prime real estate but also supporting long-term capital appreciation for investors and property owners.
Sales and Rental Transactions on the Rise
According to market reports, Abu Dhabi recorded a strong uptick in real estate transactions during H1 2025. Both off-plan and ready property sales saw healthy engagement from local and foreign investors. In parallel, the rental market grew significantly in response to increased population inflow and tenant interest in well-connected, amenity-rich communities.
