Yas Island · Baraka Real Estate Development
Photos and renders of the building and grounds — not of this particular unit.
A residential building in Yas Island, currently under construction. Developer — Baraka Real Estate Development.
Specifications for The Bay Residence as published by the developer — the project is under construction, so there is no Land Department record yet. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
The Bay Residence is a residential building in Yas Island.
The developer is Baraka Real Estate Development.
The database currently holds 8 lots in this project, from 2 000 000 AED; 8 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 22%.
A Baraka building on the Yas Bay Marina waterfront: 232 units in total — apartments, penthouses and podium townhouses; kitchens are handed over semi-furnished.
The Bay Residence sits on the water at Yas Bay Marina — the southern tip of Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. Per the developer's brochure, the building has 232 units: apartments, penthouses and podium townhouses.
The shared amenities: a lobby, a gym and wellness club, a pool and a kids' pool, a playground and parks, a barbecue area, covered parking, ground-floor retail. Kitchens are handed over semi-furnished — that is, partially fitted out, neither turnkey nor bare.
Yas Bay Waterfront is a three-kilometre promenade lined with restaurants along the Persian Gulf, with Pier71 facing the five-star Hilton, the Etihad Arena concert venue, the twofour54 media cluster, a beach club and Yas Beach. The building sits within this same stretch, on the eastern part of the waterfront.
Nearby on the island: Yas Marina Circuit, Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld and Yas Mall. That's a plus for short-term rental and a minus for quiet — on race days and during concerts, the island functions as an event venue.

The final payment on this building falls in 2026 — under off-plan plans that is 40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security, and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and we will look at what the developer will accept.

What has been written about the building, its developer and Yas Island
Terminal A at Abu Dhabi’s airport opened in November 2023 after years on hold: 742 000 sq m, capacity for 45m passengers a year. Renamed Zayed International in February 2024, it handled a record 32.5m passengers in 2025 (+12.8%). What that means for housing on Yas Island and in Al Raha.
Miral will invest over AED 12bn (about $3.3bn) on Yas Island over five years in park expansions, new rides and hotels — separate from the Disney resort, whose opening date and site are still not officially disclosed. What it means for rentals on the island.
Hilton enters Abu Dhabi housing with two flags: Aldar’s Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas sold all 133 homes on launch day for AED 850m, and Emirates Developments’ Hilton Residences Al Raha offers 176 sea-view homes from AED 2.5m. Both complete in Q4 2028.
In February 2026 Aldar added more than 2.3m sqm on Saadiyat, Yas and next to Yas for about 3 000 homes with a GDV near AED 23bn ($6.26bn). That averages AED 7.7m per home — what it says about the launches to come.
Since December 2024 Abu Dhabi has offered a 10-year Golden Visa to owners of yachts of 40 metres or more and to senior yachting executives under Golden Quay: Yas Marina nominates, ADIO processes. No berthing contract is needed and family can be included. What it signals for Yas Island.
The roughly $1.7 billion project is going up on Yas Island between Yas Mall and SeaWorld. Capacity of up to 20 000 and a 16K Exosphere screen wrapping the whole building. What it changes for property on the island.
The final waterfront plot on an island that already has a Formula 1 circuit, theme parks and a mall. What it means to buy into the closing phase of a fully formed destination.
The largest listed developer in Abu Dhabi, now building in Dubai too. Where the two emirates diverge on ownership zones, registration and rent regulation — and what that means for a foreign buyer.
Ohana Development is building the UAE's first waterfront community branded by Manchester City football club on Yas Island: around 2 000 units led by villas, a football pitch, an academy and 500 000+ sqm of green space.
