Transaction Details

A premium Grade A office tower within the ADGM district on Al Maryah Island has been acquired by a regional sovereign wealth fund vehicle for AED 1.2 billion. The asset offers 42,000 sqm of net lettable area across 28 floors and was sold fully occupied with a weighted average lease expiry of 6.2 years.

Pricing and Yield

The acquisition reflects a net initial yield of 4.1%, a 30-basis-point compression versus comparable transactions in H1 2025. The implied capital value of AED 28,571 per sqm represents a significant premium to replacement cost, illustrating the scarcity premium of core assets.

Market Context

This transaction follows a record H1 2026 for Abu Dhabi commercial investment volume, which reached AED 3.8 billion: a 54% increase versus H1 2025. The depth of institutional demand for prime income-producing assets in the capital continues to outpace supply.
