Modon

Modon is an Abu Dhabi based master developer and real estate platform operating within Modon Holding PSC, one of the UAE capital's major listed investment groups. Its property activity spans residential communities, waterfront destinations, hospitality, commercial assets and large scale urban development, placing the business in a very different category from developers focused only on individual apartment buildings.

The origins of Modon Properties as a standalone company date to its establishment under Abu Dhabi law in 2018. The corporate structure changed significantly in February 2024 when Q Holding acquired Modon Properties, Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company and other strategic assets. Q Holding was subsequently renamed Modon Holding, creating a much larger group with activities across real estate, hospitality, events, asset management, investment and tourism.

His Excellency Jassem Mohamed Bu Ataba Al Zaabi serves as Chairman of Modon Holding. Abdulla Al Sahi is Group Managing Director, while Bill O'Regan serves as Group Chief Executive Officer. Within the real estate division, Ibrahim Al Maghribi is Chief Executive Officer of Modon Real Estate and leads much of the group's current residential development activity.

The company's strongest property presence remains in Abu Dhabi. Hudayriyat Island has become its defining master planned destination, combining private residential communities with beaches, sports facilities, hospitality, cycling infrastructure, leisure attractions and extensive public spaces. Rather than approaching the island as a collection of isolated housing schemes, Modon is developing a broader lifestyle destination with several distinct neighbourhoods.

Reem Island forms another important part of its strategy. Projects including Maysan, Muheira and Tara Park have expanded Modon's apartment and townhouse offering within an established central Abu Dhabi district, giving the company a more urban residential counterpoint to the lower density communities on Hudayriyat Island.

Its approach places particular emphasis on landscaping, outdoor living, active lifestyles and community infrastructure. This is evident in projects ranging from large villas and mansions to townhouses and apartment buildings. The company is therefore operating across several property types rather than building its identity around one specific residential format.

Modon's geographical reach has also become increasingly international. The group acquired La Zagaleta, a luxury residential golf estate near Marbella in Spain, and is leading the development of Ras El Hekma on Egypt's Mediterranean coast. These assets demonstrate that Modon has evolved beyond an Abu Dhabi only property business, although the UAE capital remains the centre of its current residential sales activity.

Modon Projects in Abu Dhabi

Hudayriyat Island contains the largest concentration of Modon projects in Abu Dhabi. Al Naseem Community introduced four to six bedroom freehold villas close to the island's waterfront and recreational facilities, while Nawayef established a much broader luxury residential district.

Nawayef includes elevated villa and mansion collections across its hills, along with Nawayef Park Views, which introduced apartments to the destination. Nawayef Village subsequently added three and four bedroom townhouses and five bedroom twin villas in a gated, Tuscan influenced neighbourhood. The project sold through its initial release rapidly after launch, reflecting the demand Modon has generated around the island.

Wadeem introduced residential plots, allowing owners to build individual homes within the Hudayriyat master plan rather than choosing from a predetermined villa collection. Bashayer followed with waterfront apartments and villas overlooking Al Bateen and the Abu Dhabi skyline. Its first release sold out immediately, and further phases continued during 2026.

Hudayriyat Golf Estates became one of Modon's most significant 2026 launches. The low density golf community contains townhouses, villas and large mansions, extending the island into another premium residential format. The launch generated more than AED 13 billion in sales within days, highlighting the scale Hudayriyat has reached within Abu Dhabi's off plan market.

Reem Island has developed in parallel. Maysan introduced a collection of residential districts including Mayar maisonettes and Thoraya townhouses, while Muheira added 475 freehold apartments across two waterfront towers.

Tara Park at Al Reem Island is one of the newest major apartment projects. The scheme includes 834 residences across six towers connected by an active landscaped podium and direct access towards Reem Mall. It sold through its initial release in 2026 and remains part of Modon's active construction pipeline.

Modon properties for sale therefore cover a particularly broad part of the Abu Dhabi market, from urban apartments and maisonettes to townhouses, golf villas, waterfront homes and substantial mansions. For clients considering Modon off plan projects, the company's strongest distinction is its ability to combine individual homes with master planning, infrastructure and large scale destination creation.
