GAF Property Announces Flow25, a Landmark Design-Led Residential Development on Al Reem Island

GAF Property, an Emirati real estate developer headquartered in Abu Dhabi whose vision is built on over 20 years of leadership experience in the UAE real estate sector, today announced the launch of Flow25, its first signature off-plan residential development and a landmark addition to Al Reem Island’s evolving urban landscape.

Developed around GAF Property’s three core pillars of nature, innovation, and community, Flow25 reflects the developer’s long-term vision to deliver design-led communities shaped by climate, context, and human experience, prioritising livability, architectural integrity, and enduring value.

Designed as a people-centred development, Flow25 is defined by soft, fluid architectural lines, generous outdoor spaces, and a strong connection to nature. The project integrates Ghaf trees, the UAE’s national tree, throughout the landscape as a symbolic and functional element, reinforcing resilience, sustainability, and a deep connection to local identity.

Flow25 features biophilic landscaping, shaded walkways, and outdoor areas designed for year-round use. An exclusive cooling system will be installed across the balconies and outdoor spaces, enhancing thermal comfort and enabling outdoor living even during warmer months. Smart home systems further support everyday comfort, while shared amenities are designed to encourage wellbeing and connection.

Amenities at Flow25 include outdoor swimming pools, wellness and fitness facilities, a rooftop yoga pavilion, residents’ lounges, family-oriented spaces, and community areas that balance interaction with privacy.

The project is led by Eng. Ashba Al Ghafli, Chief Executive Officer of GAF Property, who played a direct and pivotal role in shaping the architectural vision of Flow 25. As an architect specialising in development project management, she has led and delivered a number of real estate and architectural projects across the UAE. The integration of design, execution, and long-term value creation forms the core of her professional expertise.

In her role as CEO, she adopts a disciplined, human-centred approach to design, focusing on the development of refined residential environments that combine architectural quality with long-term value sustainability.

Commenting on the launch, Eng. Ashba Al Ghafli said:“Flow 25 represents our vision for the future of living in Abu Dhabi. It is a project rooted in integrity of design, a thoughtful response to climate, and the belief that homes should support people’s real lifestyles, both today and over the long term.”

Flow25 comprises a limited collection of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, along with four-bedroom penthouses and sky villas. The development is estimated to be handed over in April 2029, supported by a structured 50/50 payment plan along with post handover options designed to enable long-term ownership.

FLYADEAL TAKES DELIVERY OF FIRST NEW AIRCRAFT OF 2026

Latest Arrival Boosts Saudi Low-Cost Carrier’s Fleet To 45 Airbus A320s

Al-Saqr (Falcon): Aircraft Named After The National Bird Of Saudi Arabia

Flyadeal, Saudi Arabia’s fast-growing low-cost airline, has taken delivery of its first new aircraft of 2026 – an Airbus A320neo – boosting the carrier’s fleet to 45 all-narrowbody passenger jets.

Arriving in Jeddah direct from Airbus’ assembly plant in Toulouse, the aircraft becomes the airline’s 34th A320neo, adding to the 11 A320neo variant that make up flyadeal’s total fleet.

The delivery also marks a move away from the traditional naming of every aircraft after a constellation star. Named Al-Saqr (falcon) after the national bird of Saudi Arabia, it heralds the beginning of flyadeal’s new narrowbodies proudly adorning the names of different birds in the Kingdom. The falcon represents strength, courage, freedom and pride, deeply embedded in Saudi culture, reflecting the qualities so ingrained in the values of flyadeal.

Steven Greenway, flyadeal Chief Executive Officer, said: “It’s always a good feeling celebrating a first. Our latest aircraft is the start of flyadeal’s push towards the half-century fleet mark, a significant milestone for such a young airline. As more aircraft are delivered to flyadeal this year, we’re able to increase frequencies on existing routes and deploy on new ones to keep up our growth momentum.”

Captain Abdulaziz Bahri, flyadeal Chief Operating Officer, added: “Being an all-A320 operator, flyadeal has shown confidence in this wonderful aircraft that supports our flying requirements domestically, regionally and beyond with low cost and fuel efficiency, fulfilling our key operational needs. Just six months ago, we took delivery of our 40th aircraft. We’re now up to 45 and continue to hire more pilots, including those joining through the government-backed graduate cadet training programme that we began participating in last year.” 

Hazar Hafiz, flyadeal Head of Marketing and Customer Experience, explained: “Saudi Arabia is home to more than 500 bird species on one of the world’s most important migration routes, with millions of birds crossing the Kingdom every year. Birds naturally represent movement, travel, and freedom—values that strongly align with our brand. By associating ourselves with this rich and authentic narrative, flyadeal creates a deeper emotional link with our customers.”

Featuring a spacious cabin of 186 all-Economy Class seats in a 3 – 3 configuration, flyadeal’s A320s have interiors of the highest standards and specifications for a low-cost airline. These include leather seats with a custom diamond stitch pattern and embossed logo together with sizeable overhead bins.

flyadeal has rapidly developed into the Middle East’s fastest growing airline operating its young fleet from bases in Jeddah, Riyadh and Madinah and Dammam to more than 30 seasonal and year-round destinations across Saudi Arabia, and in the Middle East, Europe, North Africa and South Asia. By 2030, in line with Saudi Vision 2030, flyadeal expects to triple its network to over 100 destinations and more than double its fleet to 100 aircraft.
