  • Abu Dhabi Report H22012
    Abu Dhabi Report H2 2012 “2012 was a pivotal year for the Abu Dhabi real estate market with the delivery of significant new developments which have raised the quality of living and working standards in the capital. The residential sub-sectors are now becoming more clearly defined by qualitative factors with tenants seeking value for money. In 2013 we expect to see a widening segregation in rental rates between the popular new developments, which, with occupancy levels rising, will be able to sustain rental levels and in some cases achieve growth, and the less popular older stock, that will continue to see rents come under downward pressure as landlords compete to maintain occupancy.“ Paul Maisfield, Associate Director & General Manager Abu Dhabi, Asteco Property Management Abu Dhabi Supply Estimates 2012 New Supply 2013 Scheduled New Supply Average Apartment Rental Rates (AED’000/pa) Apartments (in units) 9,000 12,000 Studio 1 BR 2 BR 3 BR Villas (in units) 6,000 5,000 From To From To From To From To Offices (in m2) 312,000 290,000 Marasy -- 87 110 135 170 185 237 Marina Square 55 65 75 85 110 130 140 180 Nation Towers - - 95 100 145 170 165 300 Reef Downtown - - 55 65 70 75 85 95 Residential Market Overview Rihan Heights -- 95 122 130 150 155 190 We estimate that approximately 15,000 new homes have been delivered to the Abu Dhabi market Saadiyat Beach Apartments -- 81 128 130 163 165 206 over the course of 2012, with a further 17,000 scheduled for completion in 2013.
