Leading developer Eagle Hills has partnered with the Endowments and Minors’ Funds Authority to deliver a landmark AED 1 billion ($272 million) commercial project in Abu Dhabi—marking a major step forward in purpose-driven real estate development.
The project will support the “Mother of the Nation Endowment for Orphans,” a national initiative launched under the patronage of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Designed as a sustainable waqf (endowment), the development will generate long-term financial returns dedicated to improving the lives of orphans across the UAE.
Proceeds will be channelled into key areas such as education, healthcare, and overall wellbeing—creating a lasting funding mechanism that ensures stability and dignity for future generations.
According to Mohamed Alabbar, the initiative reflects the company’s commitment to delivering developments that go beyond commercial value—focusing instead on long-term societal impact. By structuring the project as an income-generating asset, Eagle Hills is reinforcing the role of real estate as a driver of sustainable change.
From a market perspective, the project highlights a growing shift within the UAE property sector towards impact investing—where developments align with both financial performance and social responsibility. Government-backed initiatives like this also enhance investor confidence, offering stability and long-term value creation.
For Awqaf Abu Dhabi, the collaboration represents a strategic expansion of Abu Dhabi’s endowment ecosystem, positioning the emirate as a leader in integrating real estate with socio-economic development.
As Abu Dhabi continues to evolve as a global investment destination, projects like “Mother of the Nation City” signal a new era—where real estate is not only built for profit, but for purpose.
