Modon
Modon is the Abu Dhabi developer of Nawayef and the master developer of Hudayriyat Island. It is 84.76% owned by L'imad Holding, an Abu Dhabi government company, reported AED 26 billion of real estate sales in the first half of 2026, and, by what it told the broker Emigeo, launches Nawayef South next, in December 2026.
Modon's newest launch on Hudayriyat Island is Wadeem Gardens, on Sep 30, 2026; its next, by what it told the broker Emigeo, is Nawayef South in December. Its latest results, for the first half of 2026, reported AED 26 billion of real estate sales and AED 2.2 billion of net profit, with AED 23 billion of those sales in Abu Dhabi, which the company said was the most of any developer in the emirate in both quarters.
Who owns it
Modon Holding is an Abu Dhabi public company. It took its present form in 2024 from the merger of Q Holding, Modon Properties and the exhibitions group ADNEC, as its chief executive described it in the first results after the merger. On Oct 30, 2025 it announced that L'imad Holding, which it described as wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi government, had completed buying the shares held by International Holding Company and by ADQ and now owned 84.76% of Modon.
For a Nawayef buyer the point is plain: the hill is being built by a company whose controlling owner is the government of the emirate it builds in.
What it does
Modon reports four businesses: real estate, hospitality, asset and investment management, and events, catering and tourism. Real estate is the one that grew fastest.
| Period | Real estate sales | Net profit | Revenue backlog |
|---|---|---|---|
| First half of 2024 | AED 7.6 billion | not given here | AED 22.3 billion |
| Full year 2025 | AED 36.3 billion | AED 3.9 billion | AED 46.0 billion |
| First half of 2026 | AED 26 billion | AED 2.2 billion | AED 65.4 billion |
The backlog is revenue from homes sold but not yet built, and it nearly tripled in two years. By our arithmetic the first half of 2026 alone brought in more than 70% of what the whole of 2025 did. Half of that came from one launch, Hudayriyat Golf Estates, at more than AED 13 billion.
Where else it builds
Besides Hudayriyat, Modon's releases cover Reem Island in Abu Dhabi (Maysan, Muheira, Tara Park), the Ras El Hekma coast in Egypt, where it is master developer, the La Zagaleta estate in Spain, and joint ventures in London and New Jersey.
What it has not yet done at Nawayef
Modon's record at Nawayef is a record of selling. None of the hills' homes has been handed over: the east hill is scheduled for December 2028, and the main construction contract for both hills was awarded only in December 2025 (Handover and Construction). We think that is the fact to weigh against the sales figures. A buyer on the third hill will be relying on a delivery record that, for hillside villas, does not exist yet.

Handover and ConstructionNo handover date exists for Nawayef South. Nawayef East is scheduled for December 2028, 49 months after its launch, and Modon awarded the AED 5 billion main contract for the east and west hills' 735 villas on Dec 19, 2025, about AED 6.8M of construction per villa by our arithmetic. -
How to Register InterestNawayef South cannot be booked yet. Until Modon opens sales, expected in December 2026 by what it told the broker Emigeo, a buyer can register with Modon directly or with a broker, at no cost and with no home reserved. Abu Dhabi now routes paid expressions of interest through a government platform. -
How Modon Launches SoldModon has announced five sell-outs on Hudayriyat Island in writing, from Nawayef Village's 378 homes in a day to Hudayriyat Golf Estates' AED 13 billion in days. The claim that the Nawayef hills sold out in under 12 hours is what Modon told the broker Emigeo, and no press release confirms it.
