Prices, rents and yields in Khalifa Street

Aldar identifies apartments and penthouses at Burj Mohammed Bin Rashid downtown. The prices section reflects current asking prices when matching Masterpiece Property listings are available. The particular building, its facilities and the terms of a home matter when considering a purchase.

About Khalifa Street

Khalifa Bin Zayed the First Street runs through central Abu Dhabi, including Al Danah and Al Markaziyah West. Aldar places World Trade Center Abu Dhabi on this street, so the mall is a useful reference when locating a particular building. This is a street address in the city, not a self-contained residential master plan. The exact block matters because a home, workplace or bus stop can be at a different point along the road.

The World Trade Center combines shopping with offices and residences in a redevelopment of the former Central Market. Aldar describes Burj Mohammed Bin Rashid as a downtown residential building with apartments and penthouses, as well as a fitness centre, swimming pool and children’s play area. Its facilities belong to that building and should not be assumed to apply to every address on Khalifa Street. Apartment layouts and building services are worth considering alongside the location itself.

For everyday life, The Mall and its connected souk offer shops and places to eat, while Corniche Beach provides a waterfront outing elsewhere in the city. The International Community School Al Danah is on Al Najda Street, and NMC Specialty Hospital is on Zayed the First Street in Al Danah. Bus 63 includes a Central Souq stop on Khalifa Bin Zayed Street, giving residents a public transport option around the commercial centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility, October 2026).

This is an established city address with individual buildings rather than one development sold under a single master plan. Our property availability changes, and the price section draws on current listings when there are matching homes. Khalifa Street is not on the investment zone list in the Masterpiece Property guide to buying property in Abu Dhabi as an expat, where foreign buyers can own freehold. A buyer considering a tower apartment should also account for the building’s service charges and the financing terms attached to the purchase.

Places around Khalifa Street

These landmarks and streets help distinguish addresses around the central road.

  • World Trade Center

    The World Trade Center is on Khalifa Bin Zayed the First Street. Its mall and souk form a mixed use destination that also includes offices and homes. The souk is linked to the mall by Khalifa Bridge, allowing visitors to move between the two shopping spaces.

  • Burj Mohammed Bin Rashid

    Aldar identifies this downtown building as a residential tower with apartments and penthouses. Its listed facilities include a fitness centre, health club, swimming pool and children’s play area. The tower is one example of a city home, not a description of every building on the street.

  • Al Danah

    A section of Khalifa Bin Zayed the First Street runs through Al Danah. The nearby Al Najda area has International Community School Al Danah, while Zayed the First Street has NMC Specialty Hospital. These addresses serve the wider district, so the journey depends on the building selected.

  • Corniche and waterfront

    Corniche Beach is a separate waterfront destination in Abu Dhabi, with a beach and a promenade. It is a useful outdoor complement to the shopping and office uses around World Trade Center. The waterfront is a city amenity rather than a private facility attached to a Khalifa Street apartment.

Who Khalifa Street suits

  • City workers

    The street places World Trade Center’s shops and offices at a central city address. Bus 63 serves Central Souq on Khalifa Bin Zayed Street, which can be useful for trips that fit its route (Abu Dhabi Mobility, October 2026). A particular commute still depends on the home and workplace.

  • Apartment households

    Burj Mohammed Bin Rashid illustrates the apartment and penthouse housing available downtown, with shared recreation facilities in that building. The mall and souk provide indoor shopping and dining options. Households looking for their own garden may prefer to examine other parts of Abu Dhabi.

  • Families

    ICS Al Danah is on Al Najda Street and offers British and Ministry of Education curricula. Blossom Al Najda offers early years education in Al Danah. Corniche Beach provides an outdoor destination, although it is separate from the individual residential building.

  • Property buyers

    The central address includes a completed mixed use destination and a residential building described by Aldar. The type of title and eligibility to buy need to be established for the specific home. Mortgage and ongoing building costs are separate considerations from the advertised asking price.

Buying in Khalifa Street: rules and costs

  • Ownership

    Khalifa Street is not on the investment zone list in the Masterpiece Property guide to buying property in Abu Dhabi as an expat, where foreign buyers can own freehold. An apartment owner has an undivided share in the common parts under the relevant registration rules. Confirm the title of the particular home before buying.

    Source: Masterpiece Property guide to buying property in Abu Dhabi as an expat and ADREC registration rules, October 2026.

  • Sale registration

    ADREC registration rules allow the Executive Committee to set the sale registration fee within 1% to 4%, shared equally by seller and buyer unless they agree otherwise. This is the permitted range for setting the fee, not a quote for a particular sale. The sale price and agreed allocation determine the amount once the applicable fee is established.

    Source: ADREC registration rules, October 2026.

  • Off-plan purchases

    Payments for homes sold off plan go into the project’s escrow account. For a sale recorded in the initial register, the registration fee is 2% of the property's value, shared equally between seller and buyer, capped at AED 2,000,000 per transaction. A project’s contract sets out its payment obligations; this general rule does not establish that a new project is currently available here.

    Source: ADREC registration rules, October 2026.

  • Mortgage finance

    The lender considers the valuation when assessing a mortgage, so a valuation below the agreed price can leave the buyer to cover the difference. Loan terms depend on the lender and borrower. A valuation fee and insurance can add to the costs of financing a purchase.

    Source: Masterpiece Property mortgage guide, October 2026.

  • Golden Residency

    ICP allows eligible real estate investors to apply for a 10 year Golden Residency with one or more properties worth at least AED 2,000,000 in total fully owned and registered in the investor’s name. Financing from an approved local bank can qualify, as can qualifying off-plan units bought from an approved developer. ICP decides applications.

    Source: ICP: UAE Golden Residency, October 2026.

  • Service charges

    Apartment owners should budget for recurring charges associated with building and community maintenance. The amount can differ by building and property. The seller’s current statement provides a more useful basis for assessing the cost of a particular home than a citywide estimate.
