Masdar City
Who Masdar City suits: and who it doesn't
Masdar is Abu Dhabi's sustainability quarter grown into a real residential market: the low-carbon free zone's research-and-tech campus now ringed by contemporary apartment communities (The Gate, The Link, Masdar Gardens…) trading actively. It suits professionals in the free zone and airport corridor, and investors backing the emirate's most distinctive urban product. It doesn't suit villa families. What to watch: its transactions register under Khalifa City district, and new launch supply inside Masdar is brisk, resales compete with developer payment plans. , Equity Edge analyst note
