Driven Properties Reports Strong Real Estate Growth in Abu Dhabi

Driven Forbes Global Properties, a leading name in the UAE’s luxury real estate sector, has unveiled data from its 2025 Abu Dhabi report and observations for Q1 2026, marking the official launch of its new Abu Dhabi headquarters. The company’s findings highlight a 48 per cent year-on-year growth in total real estate transactions, reaching AED 94 billion in the first nine months of 2025. Foreign direct investment amounted to AED 6.2 billion, with capital inflows from 97 countries. Residential prices surged by 52 per cent in off-plan properties and 39 per cent in ready units between 2021 and 2025, while rental yields hit 7.4 per cent.
Moving into 2026, Driven Properties observed a shift in investor preferences towards completed, income-generating assets, prioritising quality, risk management, and income visibility. The tightening supply pipeline and continued demand in established communities are expected to sustain price stability and foster fundamentals-driven investment.
Abdullah Alajaji, CEO, Driven Properties, noted that the data underscores the market's strength and the company's confidence in Abu Dhabi's long-term growth potential. Abdallah Alhusari, Director of the Abu Dhabi Branch, added that the new office would enable Driven Properties to better serve the growing demand in the capital, reinforcing its commitment to the region’s real estate evolution.
The findings were shared during a market briefing attended by key industry stakeholders and media, alongside prominent figures including Omar Shehata, Head of Broker Management at Aldar
