A report by Morgan Stanley Research Europe has named Aldar Properties as the 'leading developer' in Abu Dhabi's flourishing real estate sector with bullish growth prospects. Despite a stronger performance by Sorouh in 2007, the authors say that Aldar is a 'more appealing investment' going forward. It is estimated that its share price will rise to Dhs8 in 2008 from a 52-week high of Dhs3.58.
