As Abu Dhabi’s property market witnesses record prices, Crompton Partners compiled a list ranking the top ten most expensive luxury real estate projects currently in the capital
Abu Dhabi is now entering the ultra-prime arena, and it’s playing to win. In the last two years, we’ve seen properties in the likes of Saadiyat Island, Al Maryah Island, and Al Jurf producing record prices that would have drawn sceptical smiles in 2022. Developments that once competed regionally are now being tracked globally. And buyers who once defaulted to Dubai are now asking a different question: Why not Abu Dhabi?
The capital has moved from steady-handed alternative to headline-maker, closing the gap on the region’s most coveted addresses with the kind of velocity that gets investors interested.
But how far has the market travelled? To find out, we’ve ranked the ten most expensive luxury projects currently on the market in Abu Dhabi, measured by price per square meter, and based on transactions recorded across 2025 and 2026. The numbers tell a story that Abu Dhabi’s ambitions have been promising for years. Here they are, in reverse order.
