History

Aldar was founded on 12 January 2004.[5] The shares were listed in 2005.

In 2013 the company merged with Sorouh Real Estate.[6] The combined entity continues to operate under the Aldar name.

In December 2017, Aldar acquired the International Tower in Abu Dhabi.[7]

In March 2018, Aldar announced a ″strategic partnership″ with Emaar, a leading developer from Dubai.[8]

In 2010, Aldar was hit hard by the global financial crisis, which caused property prices to plummet and left the company with a significant amount of debt. In response, the Abu Dhabi government stepped in with a $10 billion bailout package, which included the acquisition of some of Aldar's assets.

Since then, Aldar has rebounded and become one of the leading real estate developers in the UAE. The company has completed a number of high-profile projects, including the Gate Towers, which are three residential towers located on Reem Island in Abu Dhabi, and the World Trade Center Abu Dhabi, which is a mixed-use development that includes office space, a hotel, and residential apartments.

In recent years, Aldar has also focused on developing sustainable and eco-friendly projects, such as the Mamsha Al Saadiyat development, which is a beachfront residential community that was designed with sustainability in mind.

Today, Aldar Properties continues to play an important role in the development of Abu Dhabi and the UAE, with a portfolio of projects that includes residential communities, commercial buildings, and hospitality projects.

Aldar and Dubai Holding have partnered to develop projects in Dubai in 2023.[9]
