Abu Dhabi’s property market is off to a strong start at the International Real Estate & Investment Show (IREIS 2025), where the value of active development projects has been reported at $758.79 billion.
Industry data shows that urban construction accounts for $221.56 billion, underlining the emirate’s scale as a regional development hub. Developers are offering on-site booking discounts of up to 20 per cent to attract buyers, with groups expected to purchase in bulk over the weekend at the three-day exhibition that started on September 12.
The pipeline of new residential supply is also accelerating. Around 2,400 units were delivered in the capital during 2025, with 10,400 scheduled for completion by year-end and more than 11,000 due in 2026, according to Cavendish Maxwell.
Abu Dhabi’s real estate market continues to show strong momentum. Data from the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre indicates that transaction values in the first half of 2025 grew 39 per cent year-on-year to AED 51.72 billion, up from AED 37.2 billion in 2024.
Exhibitors at IREIS 2025 include Reportage, Danube Properties, Dugasta Properties, Grovy Developers, and Object 1, among others. A new dedicated zone for citizenship and residency consultants has been introduced, reflecting rising demand for second-home opportunities and Golden Visa-linked investments. Panel discussions at the International Investment Conference are focusing on proptech, branded residences, off-plan demand, and Abu Dhabi’s Vision 2030 roadmap.
Organisers said this year’s event highlights the emirate’s growing role in shaping the future of regional real estate. “From smart cities to tokenised property assets, IREIS shows how innovation, regulation, and investor confidence converge to make the UAE an unrivalled destination for growth,” said Arun Bose, Director of IREIS.
The three-day exhibition, running from September 12–14 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), brings together more than 2,000 investors, 35 exhibitors, and international experts.
