Aldar Investment Raises Funds Through $145 Million Green Sukuk Taps
Aldar Investment, the leading property management arm of Aldar Group, has taken another big step toward sustainable financing. The company has announced two new taps worth $145 million each from its existing $500 million Green Trust Certificates. These sukuk are due in 2034 and 2035, marking a strong push toward green investment in Abu Dhabi’s financial market.
What the Green Sukuk Means
A sukuk is similar to a bond but follows Islamic finance rules. Instead of paying interest, sukuk generates returns through shared investment in assets. In this case, Aldar Investment has tied the sukuk to projects that support environmental sustainability. This makes them “green sukuk.” Investors who buy them support eco-friendly developments while earning financial returns.

Why Aldar Investment Chose Green Sukuk
Aldar Investment aims to finance projects that reduce carbon impact. By choosing green sukuk, the company aligns with global sustainability goals. These projects may include energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy systems, or eco-friendly construction. At the same time, the move strengthens Abu Dhabi’s position as a hub for sustainable financing.
Details of the Sukuk Taps
The new $145 million taps expand Aldar Investment’s existing $500 million Green Trust Certificates program. The taps extend to two maturities: one due in 2034 and the other in 2035. A “tap” simply means raising more money through an existing bond issue. Investors find taps attractive because they carry the same structure and rating as the original issue.
Benefits for Investors and Abu Dhabi
For investors, Aldar Investment’s green sukuk taps offer a chance to earn stable returns while backing sustainable projects. For Abu Dhabi, these taps help build its reputation as a financial center that values green growth. Moreover, the funds will support projects that directly contribute to reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency in the emirate.
Looking Ahead
Aldar Investment continues to show leadership in combining real estate growth with environmental responsibility. These green sukuk taps will likely encourage other companies to adopt similar financing tools. As demand for green investments rises, Aldar Investment is well positioned to attract both local and international investors.
By raising $145 million through two green sukuk taps, Aldar Investment has once again highlighted its focus on sustainability and responsible growth. With projects due in 2034 and 2035, the company is securing long-term funding while supporting Abu Dhabi’s vision for a greener future.
