Real estate often evolves in step with a nation’s growth, mirroring its priorities, progress, and both its economic and social maturity. For years, especially during the earlier decades of Abu Dhabi’s rapid development, investors and real estate developers operated with a straightforward mindset: buy land, build housing or commercial towers, sell as quickly as possible, and move on to the next project, focusing more on building the city rather than building communities.
As national priorities shift, Abu Dhabi’s real estate market is rethinking its role by aligning with the emirate’s Liveability Strategy, a government-led vision focused on improving the quality of life for all residents across the emirate. The strategy aims to revitalize and modernize residential areas to meet community needs, diversify and enhance transportation options, reimagine vibrant mixed-use destinations, and breathe new life into older districts. All with a broader vision in mind, to plan and maintain an inclusive, sustainable emirate for all.
According to the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), average district completion scores across Abu Dhabi rosefrom 67 percent in 2023 to 81 percent in 2025, reflecting major progress in urban renewal, service accessibility, and public-space enhancement.
This new direction has inspired investors and real estate developers to perceive what they build as more than an asset or a means of income, but as an opportunity to create vibrant, human-centered, and sustainable developments that meet modern standards of design and energy efficiency, while promoting heritage and connectivity. It is this very approach that has positioned Royal Development Holding – a subsidiary of Emirates Stallions Group (ADX: ESG) – to distinguish itself as a premier developer aligned with Abu Dhabi’s vision for liveability and sustainable growth.
Royal Development Holding’s vision of modern, community-focused living is embodied in its new landmark project, ‘Seamont Autograph Collection Residences’, developed in partnership with luxury boutique developer SAAS Properties, which exemplifies Abu Dhabi’s commitment to building a sustainable urban future. Overlooking a serene canal, the development features 497 upscale units, including 1- to 3-bedroom apartments, 4-bedroom townhouses, and signature penthouses, surrounding residents with dazzling views of the Arabian Gulf and Saadiyat Island’s cultural landmarks, while leveraging natural assets to create beautiful public realms, vibrant destinations, and stronger connectivity.
At the rare meeting point between sea and sky, nestled along the calm shoreline of Reem Island, this refined development blends design excellence and enduring value with timeless aesthetic. It provides residents with an exceptional home living experience tailored carefully around their needs and evolving lifestyle, while offering them a vibrant sense of community. With its wellness-driven amenities and community facilities, Seamont creates spaces rooted in inclusivity, accessibility, and sustainable urban living, key pillars of Abu Dhabi’s Liveability Strategy.
Moreover, through its smart and innovative design, Seamont is setting new standards in sustainable living, integrating modern, energy-efficient systems and forward-thinking design principles that reflect Abu Dhabi’s vision for a more liveable future. By balancing technology and sustainability, the development resonates with residents’ needs, making everyday life easier, more comfortable, and more efficient while remaining mindful of the environment.
With landmark developments like Seamont, Royal Development Holding demonstrates how visionary design can translate policy into lived experience. By shaping projects that prioritize community, sustainability, and quality of life, the company plays a key role in realizing Abu Dhabi’s Liveability Strategy. Its work stands as a blueprint for the emirate’s next chapter of human-centered, future-ready urban growth.
