Al Reem Island has emerged as Abu Dhabi’s premier residential investment destination, demonstrating remarkable growth and strong market momentum. According to data analyzed by MERED, an award-winning international real estate developer, off-plan property weighted average prices increased by 38% year-on-year in Q2 2025. This positions Al Reem Island at the forefront of the capital’s property market.

Other key Abu Dhabi areas, including Khalifa City and Jubail Island, recorded weighted average price growth of 24% and 20% respectively, highlighting the resilience and dynamism of the city’s real estate sector. Al Reem Island’s appeal extends to the rental market, where apartment rents rose 21% year-on-year in Q2 2025, based on Quanta’s rental indices.

Why Al Reem Island is a Top Investment Destination
The island’s sustained demand is supported by high-quality infrastructure and amenities, including:

• Waterfront living and panoramic sea views

• Grade-A offices and mixed-use developments

• Retail, dining, and entertainment options

• Advanced healthcare facilities

• The 1,000,000 square foot Reem Central Park

Strategically located between Abu Dhabi’s mainland business core and Saadiyat Island’s cultural coastline, Al Reem Island offers a self-contained “live-work-play” environment, combining luxury, convenience, and lifestyle appeal.

MERED’s Visionary Waterfront Project
Building on this momentum, MERED has announced a design-led waterfront development on two prime plots totaling over 23,400 square meters within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). Collaborating with Pritzker Prize-winning architects, the project promises to redefine super-prime living with sea views, architectural excellence, and integrated luxury amenities.

“Al Reem Island has firmly established itself as Abu Dhabi’s premier residential destination. Average prices in waterfront projects have exceeded AED 1,800 per square foot, with new projects launched at even higher rates,” said Artemiy Marinin, Project Director at MERED.

ADGM Expansion Drives Growth
The expansion of ADGM to Reem Island in April 2023 has further strengthened the market, attracting over 1,100 new businesses and more than 11,000 registered companies. The influx of high-earning professionals has fueled demand for premium residential units, solidifying Al Reem Island’s status as a hub for both luxury living and business activity.

Investment Outlook
Al Reem Island represents a strategic opportunity for investors seeking exposure to Abu Dhabi’s luxury real estate market. Its combination of high-quality infrastructure, premium amenities, and strong price appreciation make it an attractive destination for local and international buyers. MERED’s innovative projects further enhance confidence in the island’s long-term potential.
