The first-ever property crowdfunded in Abu Dhabi has been officially made by SmartCrowd, the first-ever regulated real estate crowdfunding platform in the region.
The milestone property is a high-end studio worth AED 1.2 million on Yas Island. With an excellent canal and a pool, this property is the beginning of SmartCrowd venturing into the capital and heralds the new era in the minds of investors, who are diversifying the opportunities outside Dubai.
Chief Operating Officer of SmartCrowd, Ammar Nawaz Malhi, said that “Abu Dhabi represents the next chapter in the UAE’s property evolution. It blends cultural heritage with modern ambition and continues to inspire confidence among investors. Our platform now gives everyday investors the chance to be part of this growth story for the first time.”
The real estate sector is about to enter into a new potent phase, and the reason is the strategic urban planning, huge developments, and stable economic growth in Abu Dhabi.
Capital hosts global destinations like the Yas Bay, Saadiyat Island, and Al Reem Island, alongside cultural landmarks including the Louvre Abu Dhabi and Warner Bros. World.
Future developments like Disney World Abu Dhabi and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi will further add to the fame of the city and bring in long-term investment.
With the help of a vivid government vision and the policy of sustainable growth, Abu Dhabi remains one of the most attractive and safe real estate markets in the region.
Since it was launched, SmartCrowd has changed the way real estate investment is accessed in the UAE. The platform has enabled over AED 290 million in Dubai real estate investments and has been increasing the number of its investors both within the GCC and other global markets.
SmartCrowd simplifies and makes property ownership hassle-free with investment entry points that are AED 500.
Every property on the platform is subject to a tough selection process in terms of value, location, and income potential.
The company is still transforming the way people invest in real estate, through innovative products such as SmartCrowd Flip, where investors can invest in short-term appreciation projects.
It is a significant milestone that SmartCrowd and its investors can accomplish by becoming the first platform to list a crowdfunded property in Abu Dhabi.
This success enables them to diversify their portfolios in various emirates using a single, regulated platform.
Chief Executive Officer of SmartCrowd, Riz Ahmed, added that “This milestone reflects SmartCrowd’s commitment to opening access to real estate investing across the UAE. Abu Dhabi is just the beginning of a larger expansion. We will continue introducing properties from other emirates so investors can diversify, grow their portfolios, and share in the UAE’s success through one digital platform.”
The move by SmartCrowd to Abu Dhabi underscores its goal of empowering investors with innovation and accessibility.
The company is still developing the future of real estate investment by providing people with new opportunities to invest in the growing property market in the UAE.
