2- It is a natural response to the spectacular demand in housing need as a result of strong growth in the population (about 7%) driven by an increase in the local population as well as expatriates required for a booming economy
3- it has been facilitated by the introduction of Abu Dhabi property law which allows GCC nationals to own land and expatriates to own surface property in defined investment zones.
