Modon Sets New Benchmark for UAE Real Estate with Hudayriyat Golf Estates

Modon Holding achieved a UAE real estate record with the launch of Hudayriyat Golf Estates in Abu Dhabi, generating more than AED 13 billion in sales within days. The development saw 1,700 residences, including golf mansions, villas, and townhouses, sold to a buyer pool where 81% were new customers to Modon.

Liquidity Influx and the Abu Dhabi Market Pivot

The AED 13 billion figure represents the highest publicly recorded sales value for a single residential project launch in the UAE. According to Modon Holding, the demand underscores a growing global confidence in Abu Dhabi’s economic strength and the leadership’s long-term vision for sustainable development.

Bill O’Regan, Group Chief Executive Officer of Modon Holding, stated that the response reflects a broader shift in how people choose where to live, noting that buyers now seek communities combining quality homes with lifestyle, wellbeing and connectivity to deliver enduring value.

Analyzing the Hudayriyat Golf Estates Asset Class

The development is anchored by Andalusian-inspired architecture and a 2.3-kilometre green spine. This infrastructure connects a clubhouse, wellness and fitness facilities, retail and leisure offerings, co-working spaces and a school, effectively creating a self-contained ecosystem.

• Inventory Velocity: 1,700 units sold in a matter of days.
• Client Acquisition: 81% of buyers are new customers to Modon.
• Foreign Direct Investment (FDI): 15% of the buyer base consists of non-UAE residents.

The proximity to downtown Abu Dhabi (20 minutes) and Zayed International Airport (30 minutes) makes the project a viable primary residence for executives, rather than just a secondary vacation home.

Strategic Implications for Modon Holding’s ADX Position

Ibrahim Al Maghribi, Chief Executive Officer of Modon Real Estate, attributed the success to the "strength of demand for thoughtfully planned homes in Abu Dhabi."

Jassem Mohamed Bu Ataba Al Zaabi, Chairman of Modon Holding, noted that this demand reinforces the emirate’s position as an attractive destination for investment and quality of life.

Connectivity and the Lifestyle Ecosystem

The project leverages the existing infrastructure of Hudayriyat Island. Residents have direct access to Surf Abu Dhabi, the Velodrome and an extensive network of cycling, running and recreational trails.
