Aldar Properties and Mubadala Investment Company have completed the acquisition of The Link at Masdar City through their joint venture formed in 2024. The deal is valued at AED 654 million and strengthens their portfolio of high-quality, income-generating assets.
The acquisition highlights growing investment activity in Abu Dhabi’s real estate and innovation sectors, supported by strong institutional demand and confidence in the emirate’s long-term economic growth.
The Link offers around 32,000 square metres of net leasable space across five buildings. The property is fully leased to leading global and future-focused organisations, including Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) and Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence.
The development features Grade A LEED Platinum-certified office spaces, a net-zero energy headquarters, a multi-purpose hall, and residential units. These features make it a key part of Masdar City’s integrated and sustainable environment.
Dr. Bakheet Al Katheeri, CEO of Mubadala’s UAE Investments Platform, said the deal reflects strong confidence in Abu Dhabi’s growth and its innovation-driven economy. He added that the investment aligns with Mubadala’s strategy of supporting sustainable infrastructure while delivering solid financial returns and contributing to the UAE’s Net Zero goals.
Talal Al Dhiyebi, Group CEO of Aldar, said the acquisition strengthens the company’s investment portfolio and reinforces its partnership with Mubadala. He noted that the asset increases exposure to a globally recognised hub focused on clean energy, advanced technology, and research.
Ahmed Baghoum, CEO of Masdar City, described The Link as an important addition to the city’s development. He said it supports the vision of combining sustainability with economic growth and future industries, further strengthening Abu Dhabi’s position as a global innovation hub.
