Best Properties by Aldar Properties

In 2020, Aldar Properties became the largest listed developer in Abu Dhabi after its shares rose to the highest value in six years as a result of a deal with the holding company ADQ.

In total, over 25,000 land plots and villas for UAE nationals are under the management of Aldar Properties. The value of the contract is AED 30B, USD 8B.
