Abu Dhabi, UAE – January 2026

LEAD Development is celebrating a successful year of building communities designed for people, helping to shape the future of Abu Dhabi. Since starting in 2010, the company has become known for creating high-end properties that have added more than AED 30 billion in value to the UAE.

This past year, LEAD continued its mission to turn big ideas into beautiful, livable places. The company follows six key values in every project: Entrepreneurship, Integrity, Accountability, Innovation, Delivery, and Excellence. This means they do more than just construct buildings. They focus on creating “places” where people feel connected. By mixing nature, wellness, and shared amenities, LEAD builds neighborhoods that help residents form strong bonds with each other.

A major focus has been on developing large residential areas that are easy to get around and make everyone feel like they belong. With designs that encourage walking, lots of green areas, and all the necessary services nearby, LEAD’s projects are made to ensure residents are comfortable and can live a balanced, happy life.

Jubail Island: Where Nature and Luxury Meet

Jubail Island is a perfect example of LEAD’s work and is considered one of the premier waterfront developments in Abu Dhabi. Located between the popular Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, this AED 15 billion project is a special place. It is home to 4,000 hectares of mangrove forests and calm coastal waters. This shows how LEAD combines luxury living with care for the environment.

Many parts of the island’s main plan were completed this year. The six unique villages on the island, Marfaa Al Jubail, Nad Al Dhabi, Seef Al Jubail, Ain Al Maha, Souk Al Jubail, and Bada Al Jubail, offer different types of homes and high-quality features. People living there can now enjoy beautiful parks, paths along the water, a marina for boats, and plenty of green spaces to relax in.

The Jubail Mangrove Park is a highlight, offering activities like kayaking and walks along boardwalks. It helps residents connect with nature and supports a healthy lifestyle. This focus on nature makes Jubail Island a true sanctuary, a place that perfectly blends coastal life with fun and sustainability.

A Commitment to Our Planet

Being sustainable is a core part of what LEAD Development does, fitting with the UAE’s Green Agenda 2030. A major commitment is the planting of one million mangrove trees on Jubail Island. These trees are great for the environment, helping to clean the air and support local wildlife.

LEAD uses high environmental standards in all its work. Jubail Island is designed to meet special ratings for sustainability, focusing on saving energy, using less water, and choosing eco-friendly building materials. This dedication shows that LEAD is a responsible developer committed to protecting the natural beauty of the UAE. As one of the leading real estate developers in Abu Dhabi, the company sets a high standard for others to follow.

A Complete Approach for Lasting Value

LEAD handles every step of a property’s journey. This includes everything from checking if a project is possible and creating the first designs to marketing, selling, and managing the property for years to come. This all-in-one method ensures every project is high-quality, reduces risks, and provides lasting value for both investors and residents.

Besides Jubail Island, LEAD is also behind other well-known projects. These include Hidd Al Saadiyat on Saadiyat Island and the Waldorf Astoria DIFC in Dubai. These projects prove LEAD’s skill in creating excellent homes, offices, and mixed-use spaces that fit perfectly into their surroundings.

What’s Next?

With the success of this year, LEAD plans to continue creating great places for people to live. The company will improve its current communities and add to Abu Dhabi’s landscape with more thoughtfully designed projects. By following international standards for quality and safety, LEAD is ready to bring even more innovation and sustainability to the real estate world.

The company stays true to its mission: turning creative ideas into real places and building a better, greener future for everyone.
