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.

Rule of law is Africa's new gold: African Development Bank Group's (AfDB's) Adesina calls for bold legal and governance reforms to unlock prosperity
'When Africa stands for the rule of law, the world will stand with Africa,' the President of the African Development Bank Group ( Dr Akinwumi Adesina, has told more than 1,200 lawyers, judges, and government officials attending the Kenya Law Society's 2025 Annual Conference. Delivering the closing keynote, title Public Finance, Governance, Justice and Development, Dr. Adesina drew a clear link between judicial independence, sound public finance, and sustainable economic growth. He stressed that Africa's true wealth lies not only in its natural resources but also in its ability to govern them transparently, enforce contracts fairly, and ensure justice for all citizens. Turning challenges into opportunities Africa faces a $100 billion annual gap in foreign direct investment, he noted, a situation compounded by weak rule of law rankings, debt vulnerabilities, and predatory 'vulture fund' cases. These involve investors buying national debt at a discount on secondary markets, then exploiting weak legal systems to sue debtor nations for full repayment — plus backdated interest and legal fees. 'Evidence suggests that foreign direct investments move more to countries that have political stability, stable democracies, transparency, and low levels of corruption,' Adesina said during the conference held at Kenya's coastal town of Diani, some 35 kilometres south of Mombasa. Other key drivers, he added, include an independent and transparent judiciary, strong regulatory frameworks, public accountability, efficient public service, competition policy, and respect for intellectual property rights. He also underlined the vital connection between justice and development, arguing that access to justice must be universal. This means legal aid, digitised courts, and grievance mechanisms that bring the law closer to citizens. 'Justice is not a byproduct of development — it is the foundation of development,' he declared. Adesina urged African nations to: Strengthen judicial independence and transparency to attract global capital. Reform natural resource laws to ensure benefits reach communities, not elites. Develop sovereign wealth funds to safeguard prosperity for future generations. Build strong African arbitration systems to settle disputes locally and fairly. He challenged Africa's lawyers, judges, and arbitrators to rise as 'guardians of promise and stewards of destiny' by enforcing constitutional safeguards on public finance. He called on the Kenya Law Society members to champion ethics and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, digitise court systems, improve legal infrastructure, and protect national assets from predatory debt practices. Adesina's keynote culminated a 3-day conference focused on corporate governance, protecting constitutionalism and the rule of law, responsible public finance management, and digitalization of legal systems. The closing ceremony included the participation of Kenya's legal luminaries and government, including Kenya's Chief Justice Martha Koome, Kenya Law Society President Faith Odhiambo, Mombasa County Governor Abdulswamad Nassir and the AfDB's Director General of East Africa Alex Mubiru. Solutions in motion The African Development Bank supports its regional member countries to address governance, public finance, and justice challenges. In Rwanda and Côte d'Ivoire, Bank support to create and modernise specialised commercial courts has reduced dispute resolution times by nearly half, unlocking more than $1 billion in investment. In Seychelles, Bank-backed constitutional reforms require all sovereign borrowing to receive parliamentary approval — contributing to a fall in the debt-to-GDP ratio from over 100% to below 55%. In Kenya, Bank-supported procurement and debt transparency reforms, including parliamentary oversight of public borrowing, are safeguarding public funds. Known as Africa's 'Optimist-in-Chief,' Adesina urged the continent's legal community to recognise that they hold the keys to turning governance into growth and making development a daily reality rather than a distant promise. 'Let us make a choice that history will record, and generations will remember,' he said. 'As lawyers, justices and guardians of the law, I urge you to uphold the rule of law, to execute justice with fairness and righteousness.'
