Abu Dhabi, September 12, 2025 – Object 1, one of the UAE’s fastest-growing real estate developers, has announced a major expansion into Abu Dhabi, marking its entry with a strong presence at the International Real Estate & Investment Show (IREIS 2025). The exhibition, running from September 12–14 at ADNEC, is expected to welcome over 2,000 investors, providing an ideal platform for Object 1 to showcase its upcoming projects, design philosophy, and vision for the capital city.
At IREIS 2025, Object 1 will highlight its latest real estate developments and share insights into the evolving investment landscape in Abu Dhabi. Ismail Gasanov, Head of Business Development, will participate in panel discussions addressing opportunities for foreign investors, sustainable real estate practices, and how design-led communities deliver lasting value for residents and investors alike.
As part of its expansion, Object 1 will launch its first Sales Gallery in Abu Dhabi, creating a dedicated hub for investors, brokers, and end-users. This move coincides with a booming property market in the emirate, which recorded Dh25.3 billion in real estate transactions in Q1 2025, a 34.5% year-on-year increase, according to the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC). Investor demand is increasingly focused on waterfront residences, premium properties, and lifestyle-centric communities – aligning perfectly with Object 1’s approach.
Speaking to Gulf News, Tatiana Tonu, CEO of Object 1, emphasized the strategic importance of Abu Dhabi. “With a stable economy, world-class infrastructure, and affluent communities, the capital continues to attract discerning investors seeking both capital growth and lifestyle excellence. Our expansion reflects our belief in its long-term potential as a hub for lifestyle-driven, sustainable developments,” she said.
Object 1 has achieved rapid growth in Dubai, securing a top-ten developer ranking in just three years. With 17 active projects across neighborhoods like JVC, JVT, Al Furjan, and Dubai Land Residence Complex, the company has earned a reputation for blending design innovation with sustainability. In H1 2025, Object 1 reported a 188% increase in sales value and a 157% rise in transaction volume compared to H1 2024. Its upcoming ALTA V1EW project in JVC is set to be one of the tallest towers in the community, further strengthening the brand’s profile.
Looking ahead, Object 1 plans to introduce design-first, community-driven developments in Abu Dhabi, prioritizing wellness, sustainability, and convenience. With a development pipeline exceeding 4.5 million square feet, the company aims to redefine real estate in the capital through modern, future-ready communities that cater to both investors and homebuyers.
Visitors can explore Object 1’s portfolio and Abu Dhabi expansion at Hall 5, Booth 4, ADNEC. The company’s participation reflects its commitment to design excellence, sustainable development, and long-term investment value as it expands from Dubai to Abu Dhabi.
