Yas Island · Aldar
Photos and renders of the building and grounds — not of this particular unit.
Layouts and the handover date come from the developer's brochure in our archive. Prices and payment plans from the same source are deliberately not published: they are dated to when the brochure was issued and do not match today's prices. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
A residential building in Yas Island, currently under construction. Developer — Aldar.
Specifications for Yas Living per Propsearch and the Dubai Land Department. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
Yas Living is a residential building in Yas Island, handover is due Q4 2028.
The developer is Aldar.
The database currently holds 1 lot in this project, from 2 593 758 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 7%.
Three Aldar buildings on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi with canal views. Studios averaging 33 square metres start at $267,000, with a three-year payment plan.
The sizes given are averages, not minimums: studios at 33 square metres, one-bedrooms at 71. The entry price is from $267,000, around $8,100 per square metre for a studio.
For Abu Dhabi, that's the upper end of the range, and it's explained by the address: Yas Island is the only island in the country with an entire entertainment industry built around it.
Aldar is Abu Dhabi's largest developer, essentially the capital's counterpart to Emaar. For an off-plan property, the developer's reputation matters more than the finish — it determines the likelihood of handover on schedule.
A practical detail for a buyer from abroad: the UAE's large developers have well-established processes for foreign buyers and escrow accounts, while with smaller ones the process is worked out case by case.
Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, a water park, beaches, a racing circuit and a golf club; Yas Mall is about fifteen minutes away.
On the podiums: two pools with lounge areas, Japanese-style gardens, sports and play areas. Finishes are offered in a light or dark palette.
Proximity to the theme parks means a steady flow of short-term rental demand, but also seasonality — demand here is noticeably higher during the cooler months.
Selling-side materials for the sales launch: average sizes, entry price, payment plan term and surroundings. Price per square metre is our own calculation.
The final payment on this building falls in 2028 — 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
