Who is Aldar Properties, and who backs it?
Aldar Properties PJSC is Abu Dhabi's leading real-estate developer and manager — not a Dubai-based developer. Its Dubai-market activity runs through a binding joint venture with Dubai Holding, signed 2 February 2023, covering 38.2 million square feet across three locations on the E311/E611 corridors and more than 9,000 units. Aldar Properties PJSC is listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ticker ALDAR).
What has Aldar delivered in the Dubai market?
Aldar's Dubai-market activity runs through a binding joint venture with Dubai Holding, signed 2 February 2023, covering 38.2 million square feet across three locations on the E311/E611 corridors and more than 9,000 units. Individual project completion dates for this joint venture were not accessible in the pages we could reach. Aldar's own home market is Abu Dhabi, where it is master developer of Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, Al Raha and Reem Island — outside Dubai and outside this site's own coverage.
What should you check before buying from Aldar Properties?
The same due-diligence steps apply to any Dubai developer, Aldar Properties included. Confirm the project's registration and escrow status before you sign anything or send a deposit.
- Verify the project's Oqood off-plan registration and its escrow account directly with the Dubai Land Department, not from a sales brochure.
- Read the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) for the payment plan, the handover date and any penalty clauses before you pay a reservation fee.
- Ask Aldar Properties for the project's DLD registration number and check it yourself.
This is the same due-diligence process we recommend for every developer on this site, not a Aldar Properties-specific step.
What are the limitations of this profile?
This page states only what Aldar Properties' own published pages, and the government sources named above, say as of 8 September 2026. Aldar's own investor-reports page is a JavaScript application our research could not render this round, so per-project or per-segment pricing was not available. No price-per-square-foot or return figure appears anywhere on this page: this research round found no dated, sourced pair that meets ProEstate's own basis-and-citation standard for Aldar Properties or its projects, so none is shown, estimated or implied.
