Just seven minutes from downtown Abu Dhabi and 20 minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport, the 27 square kilometre Saadiyat Island is undergoing a remarkable transformation into a world class leisure, residential, business and cultural hub of global proportions, housing the world's largest single concentration of premier cultural assets.

Al Reem Island is a natural island located about 600 meters off the north-eastern coast of Abu Dhabi. It's a mixed community with both residential, retail and commercial units and business projects. Spanning 6.5 million square meters and with investment costs amounting to $30 billion, the project has become among the renowned international projects, being one of the first free zones in Abu Dhabi, and gained the highest level of international interest, since properties in the area are open for foreign nationals for buying or leasehold.

While there are a lot of residential complexes scattered across Dubai City, some of them are more popular than others due to a number of reasons. We are going to take a look at four of the most popular projects in the city.

Khalifa City (formerly known as Khalifa City A) is a residential, master-planned community developed by Aldar Properties and located on the highway to Dubai, in 22 km from Abu Dhabi.

Set amongst luscious verdant spaces, Golf Gardens is an upscale residential community in Khalifa City A, managed by the UAE’s largest listed developer, Aldar Properties. Initially, the AED 1B (USD 272.2M) project was launched back in 2008 by Sorouh Real Estate in collaboration with the Tourism Investment and Development Company (TDIC). Since then, Sorouh Real Estate and Aldar Properties completed an AED 9.3B (USD 2.5B) merger in 2013, and as a result, the residential community belongs solely to Aldar Properties’ real estate portfolio.

Exuding the utmost exclusivity and privacy, Palm Jebel Ali in Jebel Ali Free Zone is set to become Dubai's largest island. It is being developed by the award-winning Nakheel Properties, who created the iconic Palm Jumeirah, ever popular among the city's wealthy. In December 2024, the developer announced the construction of 5-7 bedrooms luxury villas at The Frond D on the right side of Palm Jebel Ali. The starting cost of these residences is AED 18.1M (USD 4.9M).
