The Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) has launched the Value Housing Programme to bolster versatility in the emirate’s real estate market.
The programme, which will be rolled out in strategic phases, aims to improve the living standards for individuals and families alike, strengthening social integration and fostering community bonds – which form key elements underpinning the UAE Year of Community.
By ensuring the housing units are both affordable and of exceptional quality, the programme underscores a commitment to cultivating dynamic and inclusive communities.
As part of this effort, DMT signed an agreement with Sdeira Group (previously KEZAD Communities) to develop a range of residential units and commercial assets. DMT also signed an agreement with Central Holding Group, a leading real estate and asset management company in Abu Dhabi, to promote collaboration, facilitate the exchange of knowledge and expertise, and enhance the efficiency and impact of housing initiatives across the emirate.
His Excellency Mohamed Ali Al Shorafa, Chairman of DMT, said the agreements aim to create vibrant and thriving neighbourhoods that would set new benchmarks for quality and innovation.
His Excellency said: “These partnerships underscore our dedication to delivering housing solutions that adhere to our principles of inclusivity and sustainability. They are a crucial step in addressing the growing demand for housing in the emirate, while improving living standards and providing opportunities for everyone to access housing that enhances their wellbeing.”
The department is committed to working closely with investors, developers, and partners to identify new opportunities and drive the Value Housing Programme forward. By fostering strategic partnerships, it seeks to drive sustained growth, reshape the real estate sector, and ensure the versatility of Abu Dhabi's housing market by offering diverse options for all segments of society.
These efforts not only support the emirate’s high standards of liveability but have also contributed to Abu Dhabi being recognised as the most liveable city in the MENA region by the Economist Intelligence Unit’s (EIU) Global Liveability Index 2024.
