Abu Dhabi developer, Aldar Properties, has acquired the remaining 40% of Khidmah – one of the UAE’s leading integrated property services companies – taking its total ownership to 100%.
Having 100% ownership of Khidmah will enable Aldar to better serve both direct and indirect customers through the seamless integration of customer management between the developer and property/facility manager.

From an Aldar perspective, customers have long viewed Khidmah as an extension of our brand and values, and this ensures that we now have complete control over that process.”
Jassem Saleh Busaibe, chairman, Khidmah, added: “Khidmah has won multiple awards for its integrated real estate solutions, and has a strong track record in dealing with Government, corporate and retail customers across the UAE and Saudi Arabia. This acquisition by Aldar comes at a time when it has won a number of prestigious contracts, completed several handovers of residential developments, and has an enviable pipeline of opportunities which will continue on ensuring that customer satisfaction is our number one priority.
