New affordable housing targets on the cards in Abu Dhabi

NULL

New targets which require developers to include a proportion of affordable housing on all new developments in Abu Dhabi have taken a step forward. It’s after the capital’s Urban Planning Council signed an agreement with 19 developers to record information on new projects. The data will then be used to draw up a better picture of supply and demand in the housing market. Officials in Abu Dhabi want to introduce a quota of 20% affordable housing in new developments, potentially by the end of this year.
