Wadeem Plots
Before Wadeem Gardens there was Wadeem, more than 1,700 villa plots that Modon launched on Jul 1, 2025 and sold out in 72 hours for AED 5.5 billion, an average of about AED 3.2M a plot by Vi.ki's working. Wadeem Gardens is the built-villa release in the same district.
Wadeem Gardens is the second thing Modon has sold in Wadeem. The first sold out fifteen months before it: on Jul 1, 2025 Modon launched Wadeem as "its first residential plots release on Hudayriyat Island", and on Jul 4 it announced "the complete sell-out of Wadeem on Hudayriyat Island within 72 hours of launch, generating sales of AED5.5 billion".
The plots release in figures
| Launched | Jul 1, 2025 |
| Sold out | Announced Jul 4, 2025, "within 72 hours" |
| Plots | "More than 1,700" |
| Sales | AED 5.5 billion |
| Average per plot | about AED 3.2M (our division of the two figures above) |
| What a plot holds | A villa of four to six bedrooms, with room for a pool |
| Who could buy | All nationalities |
| Modon's ranking | "2025's highest-valued real estate release in Abu Dhabi to date", as of July 2025 |
The average is a ceiling, not a typical price: Modon said "more than" 1,700, so the true mean is at most about AED 3.2M, and Modon published no plot sizes or price range.
What was promised for the district in 2025
The 2025 release placed Wadeem "opposite Abu Dhabi's prestigious Al Bateen area" and called it "the first new offering of land so close to the city's most exclusive areas in more than 15 years". For the neighborhood it listed a community center with shops, a private school, a mosque and a central park, and a recreational hub with swimming pools, a jogging track, sports courts and a yoga and meditation zone.
The 2026 material for Wadeem Gardens describes a much larger district: a 2.3 km spine, an arena, six clubhouses, two international schools, an office park and 35,000 residents (Masterplan and Amenities). We think plot owners from 2025 are the quiet winners of that change, since the district around their land grew after they bought it.
How the two releases fit together
On Modon's location map an area labeled "Wadeem Villas" lies immediately west of Wadeem Gardens, and Wadeem Gardens takes the island's eastern tip. Modon's launch release says Wadeem Gardens "expands the residential offering within Wadeem, Modon's masterplan community on Hudayriyat Island".
| Wadeem plots, 2025 | Wadeem Gardens, 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | Land to build on | A finished standalone villa |
| Home size | 4 to 6 bedrooms, your design | 4, 5 or 6 bedrooms, Modon's designs |
| Price | AED 5.5 billion over 1,700 plots or more | From AED 8.7M, AED 10.2M and AED 11.6M |
| Sold | In 72 hours | On sale since Sep 30, 2026; no sell-out announced by Nov 12, 2026 |
| Bank finance from the developer's partner | Not mentioned | Up to 75% through ADIB |
Set side by side, the villa release prices the house. A plot averaged at most AED 3.2M in 2025; a 4-bedroom villa starts at AED 8.7M in 2026. The difference, about AED 5.5M, is what Modon is charging for the building, the land's rise since 2025 and the convenience together. A plot owner comparing notes should set that against a real quote for building a house of the same size, which we do not have.
We think this comparison explains the pace of sales better than anything else. People who wanted Wadeem at the lowest entry price bought plots in 2025, and they are now the neighbors a villa buyer is paying to join.

Masterplan and AmenitiesWadeem Gardens sits along a 2.3 km climate-controlled spine that Modon says will connect a district of 35,000 residents to an arena, six clubhouses, two international schools, healthcare centers, an office park, cinemas and a waterfront promenade. None has an opening date. -
Hudayriyat Island CommunitiesModon lists seven communities on Hudayriyat Island, from AED 2M apartments at Nawayef Park Views to AED 35.8M golf mansions. Wadeem Gardens has the lowest share due before handover and the latest handover, and is the only recent launch with no sell-out announced.

Location and Drive TimesWadeem Gardens is at the eastern end of Hudayriyat Island, Abu Dhabi. Modon gives 15 minutes to Zayed International Airport and 20 to the Corniche. Over the roads mapped on Nov 12, 2026, Vi.ki's own routing gives 38 km and about 50 minutes to the airport, so Modon's times depend on a tunnel that has no published opening date.
