Abu Dhabi Business Infrastructure

Infrastructure in the UAE is unlike any other. Telecommunications,  including mobile and fixed telephony in addition to internet access is on  par, if not better, than the world’s leading international business  hubs. The road network is continually upgraded and ports and airports are of world-class standards. Additionally, the UAE is creating one of the world’s largest and most competent cargo handling centres. To date, the Government has invested heavily in infrastructure development, but it has also opened up its utilities and also other infrastructure to greater private sector involvement, so much so that public-private partnerships are now the norm.

Real Estate Purchase within Abu Dhabi

The real estate and construction industry is proving to be a crucial economic sector for Abu Dhabi. The promulgation of a new Property Law in  the emirate in 2005, allowing UAE nationals to own and trade land for  the first time, GCC nationals to own freehold land in designated areas,  and 99-year leases in these areas for other expatriates, provided the  much-awaited impetus for the sector. Late as it may be compared to neighbouring Dubai, whose convulsive pace of property development stretched back to 2002-03, Abu Dhabi is quick to compensate due to its late entry with the magnitude of real-estate projects that it has set on the horizon.

The majority of Abu Dhabi’s ongoing multi-billion dollar development projects  are found in Al Ream Island and Saadiyat Islands, while the rest are  situated along the underdeveloped fringes of Abu Dhabi city (e.g. Al  Raha Beach and Khalifa City) or even inside the city centre perimeter  itself (e.g. The Gate Development and Danet Abu Dhabi). The formation of these exclusive residential and commercial towers and villas in addition to luxury hotels, however, doesn't preclude the construction of housing complexes that cater to the low and mid-market residents of the emirate.
