Abu Dhabi, UAE – January 2026
As 2025 ends, LEAD Development reflects on a year of achievements centered on one clear goal: creating people-focused communities. Since its start in 2010, LEAD has worked hard to build special places that add lasting value to the UAE. Their projects now total over AED 30 billion in value.
Throughout the year, LEAD has turned big dreams into real communities. The company stands on six main values: Entrepreneurship, Integrity, Accountability, Innovation, Delivery, and Excellence. These are more than just words; they guide every project. For LEAD, making a home goes beyond construction; it is about bringing together nature, well-being, and shared areas so people feel connected and at ease.
This year, much effort has gone into making large residential areas inviting and convenient. These communities encourage walking, have lots of green parks, and offer nearby services. LEAD’s plan is simple: help residents feel comfortable, safe, and part of a real neighborhood.
Jubail Island: A Leading Waterfront Development in Abu Dhabi
One of the biggest highlights this year is Jubail Island. It’s now known as one of the finest waterfront developments in Abu Dhabi. Located between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, this AED 15 billion project covers 4,000 hectares and is home to mangrove forests and peaceful coastlines. Jubail Island is proof that luxury living and respect for nature can go hand in hand.
This year, several parts of the island’s master plan became reality. The island features six unique villages: Marfaa Al Jubail, Nad Al Dhabi, Seef Al Jubail, Ain Al Maha, Souk Al Jubail, and Bada Al Jubail. Each one offers different home types and shared spaces, including parks, waterfront walkways, boat marinas, and big green zones for relaxing and meeting with neighbors.
A standout attraction is Jubail Mangrove Park. It gives residents a chance to kayak and stroll along wooden boardwalks in the heart of nature. This focus on outdoor life helps everyone to stay active and connect with the environment. With its balance of coastal living and fun, Jubail Island is a peaceful escape within the city.
Commitment to the Environment
Caring for the planet is key to LEAD Development. The company proudly supports the UAE Green Agenda 2030, aiming for a greener country. A big step is planting one million mangrove trees on Jubail Island. These trees clean the air and provide a safe place for wildlife.
Every LEAD project is held to high environmental standards. On Jubail Island, designs focus on energy saving, reducing water use, and picking building materials that are gentle on nature. This commitment sets LEAD apart as a responsible company. As one of the premier real estate developers in Abu Dhabi, LEAD aims to lead by example for others in the industry.
Covering Every Step
LEAD Development manages every stage of its projects. They are with each community from the first sketch to the final sale, and even manage the property after residents move in. This comprehensive approach means quality is checked at every step, reducing risk for investors and ensuring communities remain great places to live for years to come.
Jubail Island is a major part of their work, but LEAD also has many other well-known projects. These include Hidd Al Saadiyat on Saadiyat Island and the Waldorf Astoria DIFC in Dubai. These examples show how LEAD can create ideal homes, offices, and mixed-use spaces that feel right at home in their settings.
Looking Forward
After such a strong year, LEAD Development is excited for what comes next. The company will keep working to improve its communities and add even more thoughtfully designed places to Abu Dhabi. They also stick to strict standards for safety and quality, making sure they always deliver the best.
LEAD’s main goal stays the same: taking great ideas and turning them into real places where people love to live. They are helping to build a happier, more sustainable future for all.
