The stake was sold for an estimated $1.5 billion (Dh5.5 billion).
Early this year, Alpha Dhabi Holding had acquired a 12.8 per cent stake in Aldar Properties. The transaction, which involved the transfer of around 1 billion shares in a block trade valued at Dh3.7 billion, was one of the largest private share purchases in a UAE listed company.
In this latest investment, Alpha Dhabi Holding has completed the acquisition of Sublime 2, Sogno 2 and Sogno 3 which together own 17 per cent of Aldar Properties.
