GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions about Zayed City.

What is the expected yield?+

Yield for apartments: 6-7%. Villas: 5-6%.

When will the area be developed?+

Completion of the master plan is expected by 2030 under Plan Abu Dhabi 2030.

What makes Zayed City strategically important?+

Formerly the Capital District / Khalifa City C, Zayed City is master-planned as Abu Dhabi's future government and business hub — set to host government offices, embassies and Fortune 500 regional HQs, with a target of 370,000 residents. Sitting between Mohammed bin Zayed City and the airport, it is a long-term play on the capital's administrative growth under Plan Abu Dhabi 2030.

How is the location and connectivity?+

Zayed City lies just ~5 minutes from Zayed International Airport, about 15 minutes to Yas Island and roughly 25 to Abu Dhabi Downtown, with access via Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Street. There is a Zayed City Bus Station today and future metro plans under Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 — so present connectivity is road-based, with rail expected as the district matures.

Who is this area best suited to?+

It suits long-term investors with a 5–10 year horizon and government and corporate professionals who will work in the Government Quarter and Embassy District. With stable yields of 6–7% for apartments — near the ~6.5% Abu Dhabi benchmark — the appeal is steady income plus appreciation tied to the pace of the masterplan's delivery, rather than a quick flip.

What costs and residency benefits should I expect?+

Buyers pay UAE's standard one-time transfer fee and no annual property tax; service charges here run about 12–18 AED per sqm. With prices around AED 1,000–1,500 per sqft, many apartments and most villas can exceed the AED 2M Golden Visa threshold, granting 10-year residency, while purchases from AED 750K can support a 2-year investor visa. Confirm eligibility per unit.
