Aldar announced it has generated more than Dhs 5 billion in sales across the launches of Talay and Yas Riva Reserve. The announcement comes as Abu Dhabi hosts the inaugural Liveability and Investment Exhibition (LIVEX), a global forum exploring how liveability drives long-term economic and social value.
The strong sales performance reflects continued demand for residential developments in Abu Dhabi and the growing appeal of waterfront communities on Saadiyat and Yas Islands.
Talay marks the first residential community within Marsa Al Saadiyat, while Yas Riva Reserve is a new gated waterfront community to the northeast of Yas Island. Together, the developments build on the distinct character of Saadiyat and Yas Islands through designs, residential spaces and amenities tailored to the needs of families and contemporary lifestyles.
First-time Aldar customers accounted for 54 per cent of buyers, while UAE nationals represented 31 per cent of the buyer base. Expatriate residents and overseas buyers accounted for 69 per cent of sales.
Buyers from the UAE, UK, Russia, Jordan and India were among the leading nationalities by sales volume. Female buyers represented 30 per cent of sales, compared with 70 per cent for male buyers, while 55 per cent of all buyers were under the age of 45.
Jonathan Emery, Chief Executive Officer of Aldar Development, said, “Abu Dhabi continues to strengthen its position as one of the world’s most attractive places to live, invest, and build for the long term, supported by an exceptional quality of life and a clear vision for sustainable growth.”
“The continued demand we are seeing, from UAE nationals, residents, and international buyers, reflects confidence in the emirate and underscores momentum as we convene for LIVEX 2026,” he added.
