Why the “London Square” brand matters for UAE Buyers
Aldar supports cross‑border access: as a UAE‑based developer selling London homes, Aldar enables UAE investors to buy UK property via in‑market representation, including marketing events in Abu Dhabi and financing packages
These are high‑profile investment‑calibre addresses: Nine Elms sits at a major regeneration node near Battersea Power Station, while Twickenham offers green, family‑oriented suburbs—with excellent rail links to central London (<20 minutes to Waterloo).
Diversification: the acquisition supports Aldar’s long‑term vision to create resilient, internationally diversified revenue, reducing reliance on local cycles and tapping growing global capital flow.
