Knight Frank has collaborated with Henry Wiltshire International to expand its presence in Abu Dhabi’s prime residential sector. The tie-up comes as Abu Dhabi residential prices rose by 17.3% year-on-year in Q2 2025, according to Knight Frank’s Abu Dhabi Residential Market Review.
Under the agreement, Henry Wiltshire will provide local market knowledge, client networks and advisory services; Knight Frank will supply global reach and project mandate capacity, including acting as lead agent on high-profile developments such as SHA Residences on Emirates Island.
Data show average residential prices reached Dh1,230 per square foot in Q2. Apartments led gains, up 6.8% in the quarter to Dh1,296 per square foot. Villas rose to Dh1,103 per square foot, marking long-term growth of more than 40% since early 2020.
Knight Frank and Henry Wiltshire say the collaboration will allow both firms to bid for project mandates, assist private clients and developers, and work on emerging developments across prime districts.
The firms expect demand from international buyers to increase, given Abu Dhabi’s relative pricing advantage versus Dubai, expanding supply pipeline, and rising appeal in beachfront and island communities.
