Abu Dhabi, UAE – Al Reem Island has emerged as the most compelling opportunity for Al Reem Island Abu Dhabi property investment, achieving a remarkable 38% year-on-year rise in off-plan weighted average prices in Q2 2025, according to analysis by developer MERED using Quanta data. This growth cements the island’s leadership in Abu Dhabi’s residential market.
Accelerating Growth Across the Capital
Al Reem’s performance far outstripped other developing areas—Khalifa City saw a 24% increase, while Jubail Island recorded 20% growth, demonstrating broad strength across the real estate landscape.
Demand extends beyond ownership. Apartment rents on Al Reem Island surged 21% year-on-year in Q2 2025, per Quanta data. Meanwhile, Bayut’s H1 2025 rental report shows mid-tier rental increases across unit types—studios up 12.1%, one-bedrooms 12.8%, and two-bedrooms 18.6%—highlighting healthy returns for investors.
Live-Work-Play Environment and Infrastructure Edge
Al Reem’s appeal is underpinned by top-tier development:
- Reem Central Park spans 1 million sq ft of green space
- Waterfront living, Grade-A offices, healthcare facilities, and retail options
- Strategically positioned between Abu Dhabi’s business precinct and Saadiyat’s cultural attractions
These features support the island’s integrated “live-work-play” ethos—an appealing proposition for residents and investors alike.
Landmark Development by MERED
MERED is raising the bar with a 23,400 sq m waterfront development within Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), crafted by Pritzker Prize-winning architects. This super-prime initiative aims to redefine luxury living in Abu Dhabi.

A pivotal catalyst has been the ADGM’s April 2023 jurisdiction expansion to include Al Reem Island. Since that move, over 1,100 new businesses have registered, bolstering credibility and demand. ADGM’s strategic commitment, including reduced fee incentives and smooth licensing transitions, underscores its position as a high-growth regulator.
This expansion has also elevated ADGM’s profile, with company registrations rising 31% in the first half of 2024 and assets under management spiking by 226%—major global financial institutions like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs have been among those to establish operations.
“Al Reem Island has unequivocally established itself as Abu Dhabi’s premier residential destination. Waterfront projects are now averaging AED 1,800 per sq ft, with newer launches commanding even higher prices,” stated Artemiy Marinin, MERED’s Project Director.
