Apartments in a new Abu Dhabi project sold out in 24 hours

We recently wrote a post and filmed a video about a new launch on Hudayriat Island in Abu Dhabi.

All the apartments were sold out within the first 24 hours after launch. It’s a gated community with 330 premium residences, 157 villas and penthouses.

Sales brought the developer, Modon, 3 billion dirhams, or $816.8 million.

That’s why we recommend preparing for launches in advance. We always keep you updated on the most promising and important ones — stay with us ❤️

Capital of the Capital: Why Abu Dhabi Became the Top Investor Magnet in 2025

Hi, this is Danil, Inside expert.

Let me explain why experienced investors in 2025 are looking not only at Dubai, but at Abu Dhabi as well.

In 2025, the investment map of the UAE has shifted. Dubai’s real estate market is entering a stabilization phase, while Abu Dhabi has strong growth potential for the coming years. Investors see this clearly.

Here’s why:

🟦Abu Dhabi’s market opened to foreigners 17 years later than Dubai’s. That’s why the UAE capital is now at one of the most attractive entry points — the main growth is still ahead.

🟦The emirate is growing twice as fast as Dubai. In 2024, the population of Abu Dhabi emirate grew by 7.5% (the wider Abu Dhabi region by 8.8%), while Dubai grew by 4.6%. That’s a huge influx of people who all need housing, offices, and infrastructure.

🟦Housing supply is limited. In the first half of 2025, only 2,700 new units were delivered in Abu Dhabi, compared with 28,100 in Dubai. A 10x difference. Demand is outpacing supply + strong shortage = price growth.

🟦Rents are climbing. Over the past year, average rental rates in the emirate have grown by 14.2%, and in some districts by up to 24%.

🟦It’s the capital of the capital. More than $1.7 trillion of sovereign wealth is concentrated in Abu Dhabi. 3 funds. The money goes into infrastructure, tech parks, museums, communities, and transport. As the city becomes more convenient and attractive, real estate values rise.

🟦A global AI hub is forming here. Microsoft is investing $15+ billion into G42 and data center development. OpenAI, Nvidia, Oracle, and SoftBank are building the giant AI cluster Stargate with an area of 26 sq. km — a future AI hub closely integrated with major US corporations. All these new specialists and companies will need housing — and that will also drive prices up.

🟦Thoughtful urban planning and a clear development strategy. Abu Dhabi doesn’t build chaotically, as happens in some regions. Every district has a clear concept: Yas is for entertainment, Saadiyat for culture, Hudayriat for sports. These projects develop steadily and predictably, giving investors confidence.

If you’re looking to invest for the long term and get excellent returns at exit, Abu Dhabi is one of the best opportunities in the Middle East right now.

Message me using the contacts below — I’ll tell you which locations and projects are best for buying property.

Beyond to build giant seafront project on Dubai Islands

The SIORA project will cover 2 million sq. ft (185,800 sq. m) — about the size of 26 FIFA soccer fields

The complex will be inspired by Japanese garden philosophy and the principles of ikigai.

What’s exciting:

🟠 70%+ of the territory will be dedicated to green spaces,
🟠6 km of beaches nearby and direct access to the waterfront promenade.

SIORA will follow sustainability principles inspired by Japanese nature philosophy.

Here’s what that means:

🟠Kaze (wind) — the buildings are designed so sea breezes can flow freely between them and naturally cool the area.

🟠Mizu (water) — fountains and water features will help maintain a comfortable air temperature.

🟠Kage (shade) — shade from trees and architectural elements will protect from the heat and make streets pleasant for walking.

Over the past year, Beyond has launched 9 new projects, attracted investors and buyers from 40+ countries, and surpassed AED 10 billion in sales.

Three reasons to buy an apartment in a Radiant project on Reem Island

Developer Radiant is actively building in Abu Dhabi on Reem Island. Here are three reasons to buy property here:

🟩Dubai 2020–level prices

Apartments start at $177,000, and you can enter with just $70,800 — that’s the down payment for a studio on Reem Island. In Dubai, prices like this are gone even in residential areas like JVC.

🟩Interest-free installments through 2028

The developer allows resale at early stages — you only need to pay 10% of the apartment’s price. This payment plan enables a simple investor strategy: buy the unit, wait 2–3 years, and resell before handover.

🟩Strong project amenities

Radiant’s building will include offices and a podium with well-developed infrastructure: pools, a shop, a long waterfront promenade — a European-style living format that end users want. That means the apartment will be easier to resell or rent out.

🟩Abu Dhabi is set for strong growth

Abu Dhabi’s real estate market opened to foreigners 17 years later than Dubai’s. Property here is 20–30% cheaper than in Dubai, and the population is growing faster — with the main growth phase still ahead. You can profit from this with us.

😄 Watch our expert’s review of Radiant Garden here.

Leave a request for the Radiant project in Abu Dhabi, and we’ll send you a specific offer. Message us using the contacts below.

The UAE Central Bank has cut the base interest rate from 3.90% to 3.65%

This is the lowest level in the past three years. The rate is pegged to the US Federal Reserve, and the decision followed the Fed’s latest rate cut.

As a result, mortgage payments are now 0.25% lower. For example, if you buy a two-bedroom apartment in the family-friendly Dubai Hills area, the monthly payment would be $2,589 instead of $2,658 (at a 4% rate).

Buying property with a mortgage has become even more выгоднее than renting. We’ve already compared which option makes more sense here.

You can arrange a mortgage in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Ras Al Khaimah. Message us using the contacts below—we’ll be happy to advise you.

A Ready Apartment in Dubai Hills for You and Your Family — $2,700/month Mortgage

In one of Dubai’s most comfortable (and one of our favorite )neighborhoods, Dubai Hills, there’s a great home for living: 89 sq. m with two bedrooms.

The apartment is being sold furnished. It has an open-plan kitchen, a bright living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a balcony overlooking the pool. Just imagine how much space you’ll have for cozy family evenings together.

The residential complex offers great amenities:

▫️ a gym,
▫️ landscaped parks and jogging paths,
▫️children’s playgrounds,
▫️direct access to the park.

The building is located in the heart of the green, family-friendly Dubai Hills community. Within walking distance you’ll find supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants. And you can walk to key spots—the Dubai Hills Mall and the big park—in 15–20 minutes.

Apartment price: $639,900. You can get a mortgage, and then:

▫️down payment — $169,000,
▫️monthly payment — $2,700.

These apartments are suitable for living and for renting out. If you decide to rent it, use $40,500 per year as a benchmark—similar apartments in the building generate that amount.
