ONE Launches World’s First AI-Integrated Residential Tower with Aerial Mobility in Abu Dhabi
ONE Development launches a 31-storey AI-integrated tower on Reem Island, featuring the world’s first residential aerial mobility and eVTOL ecosystem.
Abu Dhabi has taken another decisive step toward future-ready urban living with the launch of ONE Residence, a 31-storey AI-integrated residential tower on Al Reem Island. Developed by ONE Development, the project is being positioned as the world’s first residential tower to feature a fully integrated aerial mobility ecosystem, marking a new chapter in smart real estate and vertical living in the capital.
The launch represents ONE Development’s first entry into the Abu Dhabi market, following the success of its earlier project in Dubai. The announcement was made during a high-profile event in the capital, reflecting growing investor interest in next-generation residential assets aligned with Abu Dhabi’s long-term digital and mobility strategies.
A New Benchmark for AI-Driven Residential Living
ONE Residence has been designed around the integration of artificial intelligence into everyday living. The tower introduces AI-enabled home systems intended to enhance comfort, energy efficiency, and personalised resident experiences. From smart environmental controls to data-driven building management, the project reflects a shift toward intelligent residential infrastructure rather than standalone smart features.
World’s First Residential Aerial Mobility Ecosystem
What sets ONE Residence apart is its fully planned aerial mobility infrastructure, a first for a residential tower globally. The building includes:
- Rooftop infrastructure for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft
- Engineering provisions for autonomous passenger operations
- A dedicated VIP aerial mobility mode
- An integrated drone logistics port to support last-mile deliveries
This ecosystem has been developed in collaboration with mobility specialists and is designed to accommodate future urban air transport once regulations and commercial operations are fully established.
For Abu Dhabi’s real estate market, this signals early alignment with next-generation transport solutions that could redefine accessibility, reduce travel times, and enhance the appeal of centrally located island developments.
Located on Al Reem Island, ONE Residence benefits from one of Abu Dhabi’s most established freehold investment zones. The island continues to attract demand due to its proximity to:
Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM)
Downtown Abu Dhabi
- Al Maryah Island’s commercial and healthcare hubs
Reem Island has consistently demonstrated strong capital appreciation and rental performance, and the introduction of innovation-led projects such as ONE Residence reinforces its position as a testing ground for advanced residential concepts.
What This Means for Abu Dhabi Real Estate
The launch of ONE Residence reflects several important trends shaping Abu Dhabi’s property market:
Shift toward innovation-led developments rather than traditional luxury positioning
- Growing investor appetite for differentiated, future-proof assets
- Integration of mobility, technology, and lifestyle into residential planning
- Strengthening Abu Dhabi’s global positioning as a city open to next-generation urban solutions
As the emirate continues to attract international residents, entrepreneurs, and institutional capital, projects that combine technology, location, and long-term relevance are likely to outperform conventional residential offerings.
With Al Reem Island continuing to mature and innovation becoming a core differentiator, projects like ONE Residence highlight Abu Dhabi’s readiness to move beyond smart homes toward intelligent urban ecosystems.
