ONE Development

ONE Development has officially launched ONE Residence, its first project in Abu Dhabi, marking the company's entry into the capital following the debut of Laguna Residence in Dubai.

The announcement was made at an event held on December 9, 2025, at Emirates Palace, attended by investors, industry leaders, and brand ambassador Amr Diab.

Located on Al Reem Island, ONE Residence is a 31-storey AI-integrated residential tower and is described as the world's first to feature a fully integrated aerial mobility ecosystem, including rooftop infrastructure for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and a drone-enabled logistics port. The system was developed in collaboration with Advanced Mobility Hub, part of Multi Level Group, and powered by VertiHub.
