As part of the broader AlJurf masterplan, the phase includes a curated mix of residential offerings
Imkan has announced the launch of Naseem AlJurf, the newest phase of its landmark development, AlJurf. The development is located within a 90,580sqm area nestled between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
The project aims to redefine coastal living in the UAE and promises a lifestyle that blends modern living with cultural heritage.
As part of the broader AlJurf masterplan, the phase includes a curated mix of residential offerings, including 111 standalone villas, 60 contemporary townhouses, and eight low-rise apartment buildings. The announcement follows the success of AlJurf's first phase, which witnessed a complete sellout, highlighting the strong demand for lifestyle destinations that prioritise wellness, nature, and community connection.
Engineer Suwaidan Al Dhaheri, CEO of Imkan said, 'With Naseem AlJurf, we have envisioned more than just a residential development – we are creating a sanctuary where tradition meets modernity. This phase embodies our philosophy of placemaking – crafting soulful, human-centric communities that not only enhance the lives of our residents but also honor the natural beauty and rich heritage of Sahel Al Emarat.'
The launch event showcased the design of Naseem AlJurf and highlighted architectural elements inspired by the region's cultural roots, lush landscapes, and a profound respect for the surrounding environment. The community will also offer a range of amenities, green spaces, walking trails, and wellness-focused features to promote a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle, the developer said.

Al Reem Island leads the pack: 38% price surge puts it at no 1 in Abu Dhabi
Image credit: Supplied Abu Dhabi's real estate market is witnessing unprecedented momentum in 2025, with Al Reem Island emerging as the standout performer in both investment and lifestyle offerings. According to MERED, the international award-winning real estate developer, Al Reem Island recorded a remarkable 38 per cent year-on-year increase in off-plan property weighted average prices during Q2 2025. Read- These figures, based on extensive transaction data from Quanta, underscore the island's appeal as a premium investment destination. In comparison, Khalifa City and Jubail Island saw notable, though more modest, price increases of 24 per cent and 20 per cent respectively, further confirming the overall resilience and upward trajectory of Abu Dhabi's property market. Image credit: Supplied In the rental segment, Residents of Al Reem Island benefit from a unique urban lifestyle that blends waterfront living, Grade-A office spaces, top-tier healthcare, expansive retail offerings, and the sprawling 1,000,000 square-foot Reem Central Park. Situated between Abu Dhabi's business core and the cultural hub of Saadiyat Island, the island embodies a modern 'live-work-play' ethos. Branded residences power luxury real estate growth Abu Dhabi's booming real estate sector isn't limited to just one location. The luxury and branded residences market is experiencing record growth in 2025, with branded property launches increasing fourfold compared to 2024, according to Metropolitan Capital Real Estate (MCRE). Fuelled by rising interest from high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), international investors, and a growing pool of long-term residents, the capital's premium segment has seen a five per cent increase in transactions valued at Dhs7m and above, totaling Dhs6.3bn in the first four months of the year alone. More than half of these deals were in the Dhs10m and above bracket, signaling heightened investor confidence in Abu Dhabi's upscale real estate offerings. 'Abu Dhabi has firmly positioned itself as a premier destination for luxury and lifestyle-led investments,' said Evgeny Ratskevich, CEO of MCRE. 'Many investors who began with a single unit are expanding their portfolios, while long-term residents are choosing to buy rather than rent, reflecting a deep trust in the market's long-term potential.' One of the most significant drivers of this growth has been the surge in branded residence developments, particularly in hot spots like Saadiyat Island, Al Reem Island, and Mariah Island. With at least 25 new branded residences expected to launch in 2025, up from just a handful last year, Abu Dhabi is quickly becoming a hub for high-end, lifestyle-centric living. Notable launches this year include Jacob & Co Beachfront Residences, Brabus Residences by Cosmo, Waldorf Astoria Residences, Elie Saab Waterfront, SHA Wellness Residences, and Mandarin Oriental Residences. One standout transaction came from Nobu Residences, which made headlines with a record-breaking penthouse sale of Dhs137m, the highest ever residential sale in Abu Dhabi. New era for Al Reem Island and ADGM MERED is poised to further elevate Al Reem Island's profile with a new waterfront project that spans over 23,400 square meters within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) jurisdiction. Designed in partnership with Pritzker Prize-winning architects, the project promises to redefine super-prime living in the capital, offering direct sea views, iconic design, and unmatched luxury. 'Al Reem Island has unequivocally established itself as Abu Dhabi's premier residential destination. Waterfront properties are now averaging over Dhs1,800 per square foot, with new launches exceeding those prices,' said Artemiy Marinin, Project Director at MERED. A major catalyst in Al Reem's ascent has been the expansion of ADGM's jurisdiction to the island in April 2023. Since then, more than 1,100 new businesses have joined, bringing the total to over 11,000 registered entities. This influx of professionals, executives, and entrepreneurs has added further depth to the island's luxury appeal and rental demand. As Abu Dhabi's urban landscape evolves, the combination of strong fundamentals, visionary developments, and branded living is setting a new benchmark for residential real estate. From record-breaking sales to design-driven innovation, Al Reem Island is leading the charge in the capital's transformation into a global real estate hotspot.

Want to go home shopping in the UAE? Pick up your VR goggles
Buying and selling property has traditionally been a slow and often painful process, involving multiple parties, paperwork and physical viewings. But technology is making serious inroads into making property transactions both faster and smoother. Welcome to proptech (property technology). One example of proptech that is already being used is virtual tours. What started out as pre-recorded videos of the property became live thanks to streaming apps like Zoom. Now, more sophisticated property agents use Virtual Reality (VR) goggles to give a more immersive experience. 'Imagine a world where you, as a potential homeowner, can roam around your new property, whether it's off-plan or you are overseas. This is a game changer,' says Eyal Ashur, a sales consultant at AQUA Properties. 'Developers like Emaar, Dubai Properties, and DAMAC offer VR walk-throughs where you can tour balconies, change finishes, or see how sunset light hits your future living room,' adds Fouad Bekkar, a proptech expert and the CEO of Coraly (previously Coralytics). However, adoption is primarily limited to luxury and off-plan segments, according to Himanshu Niranjani, chief technology officer at Property Finder. 'We are exploring how best to expand immersive experiences, with the aim to solve real problems, be it decision anxiety, inability to visit in person, or lack of confidence in layout and lighting. We do not see VR as a gimmick, instead we view it as a utility when integrated into a larger decision-making journey.' Instant valuations What Proptech is having the biggest impact on how people buy and sell their homes in the UAE? 'Websites and apps that give regular people access to up-to-date transaction data from the Dubai Land Department (DLD),' says Jack Sellers, founder of YallaValue, a valuation platform that provides free estimates for properties in Dubai. 'Historically, this information was only accessible to brokers, but now it has leveled the playing field and created informed buyers and sellers.' Tools like the DLD's Smart Evaluation deliver government-backed valuations in seconds. 'If both parties agree, you can finalise the sale instantly, no agent or banker needed,' adds Sellers. Other solutions include Property Finder's Home Value Estimator, which crunches multiple market variables (transaction feeds, unit specs) to deliver fast valuations and heat-map pricing, which are handy for both sellers and those weighing up renting versus buying comparisons. Betterhomes has just launched an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered instant valuation tool and an AI co-pilot for brokers to give them real-time market data on the go. 'So much of the mundane day-to-day tasks of the brokerage can, and will, become automated, freeing up the very best brokers to focus more time on supporting a greater number of clients,' says board member Richard Waind. Property Finder has a price algorithm that looks at similar listings and determines a minimum and maximum realistic price of the listing. If the listing is under or overpriced (by approximately 5 per cent of the range), this is flagged to the real estate professional overseeing the listing. 'These programmes eliminate noise and enable faster, smarter transactions. We're not just showcasing listings, we're helping consumers get to the right decision faster,' says Niranjani. Mortgage approvals Another potential roadblock that slows property transactions is mortgages, but this is being tackled with proptech apps like Holo. It uses an algorithm integrated into the backend systems of more than 20 banks in the UAE to speed things up. 'Once a user submits their application, the platform runs real-time eligibility checks using live bank criteria, such as salary, employment type, and property details, to instantly generate a shortlist of personalised mortgage offers they actually qualify for,' explains Michael Hunter, CEO and Co-Founder of Holo. From there, in-house mortgage managers step in to analyse the shortlist and help the buyer understand which product offers the best long-term value based on their goals, whether it's lower monthly payments, early settlement flexibility, or the fastest approval timeline. 'So it's tech-driven speed, with human insight layered on top.' One of the major benefits of fractional ownership on the blockchain is liquidity. Currently, it's an administrative nightmare to change dozens of names on the title deed on a constant basis" Eyal Ashur, Sales Consultant At Aqua Properties Digital contracts Property purchases are known for being paper-based and requiring lots of in-person signatures and stamps. But the DLD now records nearly half of all property sales on a blockchain-based system. Think of the blockchain as a giant shared Google Doc for transactions — everyone can view and verify the document online — without needing a central owner. The DLD plans to put more transactions on the blockchain to verify ownership. It has launched the Dubai REST app (short for Real Estate Self Transaction). This is a digital platform that handles a wide range of real estate services, transactions, and market data in one convenient tool. Buyers can use the Dubai REST app to transfer funds securely, while the ownership title updates on the blockchain in real-time, cutting paperwork and delays by up to 30 per cent, according to Coraly's Bekkar. In June, a Kensington Waters apartment was tokenised and transferred in just under two minutes. 'That's not just fast, that's revolutionary. No more waiting days between deposit and deed, all transactions are traceable, tamper-resistant, and fraud-proof. International buyers can complete deals remotely, ID verification and e-signatures happen inside the app,' explains Bekkar. The DLD has also begun issuing tokenised title deeds via its Real Estate Evolution Space (REES) programme,. Betterhomes' Waind says he expects that RERA will be bringing in the same system for leasing contracts in coming months. Fractional ownership With spiralling property prices, particularly in Dubai, some providers now offer fractional ownership. This means you can buy a portion of the property, rather than the whole thing. One company doing this is called Stake. The DLD, via the Prypco Mint Platform, also offers a type of fractional ownership called property tokenisation. You can buy a fraction of a property, which is stored on the blockchain and exists in the form of a digital token. Such schemes are proving very popular. 'One of the major benefits of fractional ownership on the blockchain is liquidity. Currently, it's an administrative nightmare to change dozens of names on the title deed on a constant basis,' says Ashur. The future Property experts see a number of themes emerging in the coming years. One of them is artificial intelligence (AI) agents, which Property Finder's Niranjani predicts will become more mainstream. 'Imagine interacting with a voice or chat interface that learns your preferences, understands local nuances, and helps you search, compare and even initiate paperwork, without opening an app.' Another development could see one-click transactions, inspired by e-commerce, where verified units, identities, and payments create an ecosystem allowing for a rental agreement or home purchase to be completed in minutes. 'Proptech in the UAE isn't just about digitising forms, it's about rethinking the entire housing journey. Property Finder's approach is grounded in first-principles thinking, long-term product craftsmanship, and AI-first systems design. We're not chasing trends, we're building the foundation for the next 10 years of real estate in the region.' The UAE is working hard to become one of the leading digitally-focused countries in the world, and its booming property sector is at the forefront of this digital revolution. 'Dubai has become the global launchpad for smart real estate. Blockchain titles, instant valuations. VR walk-throughs, AI contracts. Whether you're scouting from Palm Jumeirah or Paris, you can now view a property, price it, fund it, and own it, all in one day,' adds Coraly's Bekkar.
