Aldar Properties has confirmed that it remains on schedule to deliver more than 3,500 homes across the UAE in 2026, supported by accelerated construction activity and record monthly contractor payments. The developer's March construction spend reached AED 1.55 billion (USD 422 million), marking one of its strongest operational months to date.

The update reflects Aldar's continued momentum across its residential and mixed‑use developments in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Ras Al Khaimah, reinforcing confidence in the UAE's real estate market and the company's delivery capabilities.

Strong Construction Progress in Q1 2026

Aldar completed 1,075 homes in the first quarter of 2026, including 550 units handed over in March alone. This pace positions the company well to meet its target of delivering more than 3,500 homes by year‑end.

Key operational highlights:

141 active construction sites across the UAE

30 million working hours completed in March, a 20 percent increase compared to March 2025

Three new construction sites activated during the month

All projects progressing in line with planned timelines

Aldar's ability to maintain consistent progress across such a large portfolio underscores the strength of its contractor network and long‑term procurement strategy.

Significant Economic Contribution and Supply Chain Investment

Aldar continues to play a major role in supporting the UAE's construction ecosystem and broader economy.

March economic impact: AED 1.55 billion paid to 71 contractors

AED 1.8 billion in new development contracts awarded to five UAE‑based contractors

AED 4.7 billion in development contracts awarded since the start of 2026

AED 1.78 billion recirculated into the national economy through the In‑Country Value (ICV) programme

172 active tenders valued at more than AED 30 billion

This level of investment highlights Aldar's commitment to strengthening local supply chains and supporting national economic diversification.

Upcoming Launches: Yas Park Place Phase 1

Aldar is preparing to launch Phase 1 of Yas Park Place in April 2026. The new residential community, located adjacent to Yas Central Park, is expected to attract strong demand from both investors and end‑users seeking modern, master‑planned living environments.

The launch forms part of Aldar's broader development pipeline, which continues to expand in response to sustained demand for high‑quality homes in Abu Dhabi.

Robust Financial Position Supports Growth

Aldar enters 2026 with one of the strongest financial positions in the region, enabling it to maintain delivery timelines and pursue new development opportunities.

Financial highlights: AED 167 billion revenue backlog across Aldar and government projects (as of end‑2025)

More than AED 30 billion in available liquidity

A well‑managed debt profile supporting long‑term expansion

This financial strength provides a solid foundation for continued growth and ensures resilience against market fluctuations.

Impact on the UAE Real Estate Market

Aldar's construction progress and financial stability have several implications for the UAE property market:

1. Increased confidence in off‑plan purchases Consistent delivery performance reassures buyers that projects will be completed on schedule.

2. Reduced risk of supply‑chain delays Aldar's local procurement strategy minimizes exposure to global disruptions.

3. Continued market stability Large‑scale construction spending and a substantial backlog support long‑term market confidence.

4. New investment opportunities Upcoming launches, including Yas Park Place, are expected to attract strong interest from both local and international investors.
