Aldar announced on Wednesday that it awarded AED66 billion in development contracts during 2025, covering residential, commercial, infrastructure and logistics projects across the UAE.
The company said the awards reflect its role in supporting the UAE’s economic, industrial and social development objectives.
In line with the UAE’s National In-Country Value (ICV) Programme, almost 45 per cent of the total contract value, amounting to AED30 billion, will be reinvested into the local economy. Aldar said this will support economic diversification, industrial development and job creation across the UAE.
Nearly AED30bn to be reinvested through ICV programme
Aldar stated that it continues to embed ICV requirements across its procurement processes by prioritising UAE-based contractors and suppliers and supporting domestic capacity across the construction supply chain.
The contracts cover residential communities, infrastructure, and commercial and logistics assets across locations in the UAE. The projects are expected to deliver new homes, commercial and logistics facilities, and infrastructure to meet market demand and urban development requirements.
“The value of contracts awarded by Aldar in 2025 underscores the continued pace of development across the UAE and our role in delivering assets that contribute to long-term economic growth and social prosperity,” Adel Albreiki, Chief Executive Officer of Aldar Projects, said in a statement.
“With AED66 billion awarded, almost half of which will flow back into the local economy, these projects will support thousands of jobs, strengthen local supply chains, and accelerate the delivery of critical residential, commercial, and infrastructure developments. By working closely with leading UAE-based contractors, we are building local capacity while maintaining the highest standards of quality, sustainability, and delivery,” he added.
In Abu Dhabi, contracts were awarded for projects developed by Aldar and for government developments. On Saadiyat Island, Fibrex was appointed for Mamsha Gardens and Nobu Residences, while Dutco Construction Company was awarded the main construction package at The Arthouse.

In Ras Al Khaimah, Shapoorji Pallonji was awarded contracts for the Al Marjan Beachfront development as Aldar expands its activities in the emirate.
Aldar said sustainability and supply chain resilience remain part of its procurement and delivery framework. All contractors are required to hold valid ICV certification and meet sustainability performance requirements.
Since the launch of the ICV programme in 2020, Aldar has reinvested AED67 billion into the national economy. Annual ICV contributions increased from AED0.25 billion in 2020 to AED30 billion in 2025.
In partnership with the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, Aldar operates a sustainability incentive programme for suppliers, linking sustainability performance to financial and non-financial incentives in support of the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 target.
