Abu Dhabi: Modon announces sellout of Hudayriyat Island residential plots
Leading Abu Dhabi developer Modon has announced the complete sell-out of its first residential plots, Wadeem, on Hudayriyat Island within 72 hours of launch, generating sales of AED5.5 billion ($1.5 billion). The sales place Wadeem as 2025's highest-valued real estate release in Abu Dhabi to date, said a statement from Modon. Set opposite Abu Dhabi's prestigious Al Bateen area, Wadeem is the first new offering of land so close to the city's most exclusive areas in more than 15 years, as well as the first residential plots release on Hudayriyat Island. The rapid sell-out reflects strong demand and rising confidence in the emirate's real estate projects, it stated. Plots in Wadeem feature ample room for a four- to six-bedroom villa and are generous enough to accommodate a swimming pool alongside outdoor dining and entertainment spaces. Homes in the community - just a stone's throw from Hudayriyat Island's idyllic coastline - will each offer owners the chance to enjoy stunning views of Abu Dhabi's impressive skyline, as well as easy access to the island's many pristine beaches and the azure waters of the Gulf. On the solid response, Group CEO Bill O'Regan said: "As demand for high-quality real estate in prime locations grows, Modon continues to strengthen its position as a trusted name in shaping vibrant, people-centric destinations." "The strong interest in Wadeem is testament to individual and investor confidence in our capabilities in delivering exceptional residential communities," he stated. Offering discerning buyers the opportunity to design and build their own dream homes in one of Abu Dhabi's most desirable emerging locations, Wadeem seamlessly complements Modon's larger Hudayriyat Island masterplan as a unique lifestyle proposition. At the heart of the neighbourhood will be a community centre with a selection of shopping outlets, a private school, a mosque and a central park, connected by walking and cycling paths meandering through lush greenery, said the developer. Supporting healthy lifestyles and wellbeing, a selection of local outdoor exercise areas will include a recreational hub boasting swimming pools, a jogging track, and sports courts, as well as a yoga and meditation zone, it added. Modon Real Estate CEO Ibrahim Al Maghribi said: "The response to Wadeem and the value of sales generated are an outstanding achievement, representing a significant milestone in realising Modon's vision for Hudayriyat Island." "The launch reinforces Hudayriyat's position among Abu Dhabi's most desirable residential destinations, offering unparalleled quality, lifestyle, and diversity of choice for future residents," he added.- TradeArabia News Service

UAE emerges as global base for digital nomads
ABU DHABI: The United Arab Emirates has consolidated its status as a leading force and key player in the digital nomad economy, rising to second place globally as a top destination for digital nomads in 2025. This remarkable achievement, advancing from fourth place globally in 2023 according to the VisaGuide Digital Nomad Visa Index, reflects a forward-looking vision that goes beyond immediate economic gains, investing in people and digital infrastructure as future assets. The platform Immigrant Invest ranked the UAE second globally after Spain, ahead of countries such as Montenegro, the Bahamas and Hungary. The evaluation was based on strict criteria including internet quality, tax policies, cost of living, healthcare, and unmatched levels of safety and stability. With remote work transforming from a fringe concept to a global economic force valued at around US$800 billion annually, governments worldwide are now racing to attract this segment of talent. Mohammad Alard, digital nomad and founder of the Arab Digital Nomads platform and community, highlighted the UAE's regional leadership, saying, 'The UAE is not only participating in this race but leading it. I visited the UAE multiple times and lived in Sharjah, where I personally witnessed the advanced digital infrastructure, widespread high-speed internet, availability of co-working spaces, and a culturally diverse society.' He noted the UAE's strong appeal to entrepreneurial digital nomads and tech startup founders seeking legal stability, security, and a high quality of life. 'UAE cities shine on the global map. Abu Dhabi and Dubai have solidified their positions as must-consider destinations,' he added. Alard further explained, 'Dubai can be classified as a global digital business hub competing with cities like Bangkok, Barcelona or Cape Town.' He cited tailored initiatives such as the Virtual Working Programme in Abu Dhabi and the Remote Work Visa in Dubai, which are designed to attract high-value professionals. Global rankings support this, with Dubai leading as the top city for remote work and Abu Dhabi ranked fourth, according to RemoteWork360. Recognising early the strategic value of attracting digital talent, the UAE launched a renewable one-year visa for digital nomads in March 2021, becoming one of the first countries to create an ideal environment for this workforce. These efforts align with an unprecedented global trend. What began as a quiet revolution powered by computing and the internet turned into a widespread movement during the COVID-19 pandemic, which compelled millions to embrace remote work. Today, digital nomadism is no longer a fringe lifestyle but a mainstream way of living, shared by nearly 40 million people globally. If this global movement were a country, it would rank 41st in population size. Looking ahead, projections suggest that by 2035, up to one billion people may live and work as digital nomads, comprising nearly one-third of the global workforce. This transformation, driven by 5G networks, the Internet of Things, and growing demand for flexible and hybrid work models, positions the UAE as an ideal candidate to become the leading global hub for remote work. To ensure long-term leadership, Alard advised enhancing engagement between official entities and the broader community of local and international digital nomads, supporting more affordable living options, and showcasing the UAE's natural and cultural appeal to attract a wider range of global talent.
