Aldar Properties, one of Abu Dhabi’s leading real estate developers, has announced the complete sell-out of its latest flagship project, Yas Living, within just days of its launch — generating more than AED 1.3 billion (USD 354 million) in sales.
Located on the northeastern edge of Yas Island and overlooking the tranquil canal, Yas Living marks the introduction of Aldar’s acclaimed Living Collection to one of the UAE’s most vibrant lifestyle destinations. The project’s rapid success underscores the continuing strength of Abu Dhabi’s property market and Yas Island’s enduring global appeal.
A New Standard in Lifestyle-Oriented Urban Living
Comprising 678 modern apartments across three distinctive residential buildings, Yas Living offers a thoughtfully curated mix of studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes. Buyers can choose between light and dark interior themes, each designed to reflect contemporary sophistication and everyday comfort.
Each building in the development boasts its own signature amenities — a first for Yas Island — creating a series of unique living environments tailored to diverse lifestyles. Facilities include family and adult swimming pools, a private cinema, zen garden, multipurpose gaming room, children’s play areas, and a fully equipped gymnasium complete with a power room.
Aldar has emphasised that Yas Living is not only a residential project but also a community built around wellness, connectivity, and leisure, offering residents direct access to the island’s iconic attractions such as Yas Mall, Yas Central Park, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, Ferrari World, and the Yas Marina Circuit.
Strong Demand from Young and International Buyers
According to Aldar, 65% of total sales were made to foreign investors and expatriate residents, reflecting Abu Dhabi’s expanding global appeal as a secure and high-yield investment destination. Buyers from the UAE, China, Jordan, India, and the United Kingdom represented the highest demand.
Notably, 65% of purchasers were under the age of 45, demonstrating the project’s strong resonance with a younger demographic seeking modern, community-focused living spaces that balance convenience, lifestyle, and long-term value.
In addition, 71% of buyers were first-time Aldar customers, highlighting the developer’s growing ability to attract new audiences and broaden its buyer base through design-led, lifestyle-driven developments.
Reinforcing Yas Island’s Position as a World-Class Destination
Jonathan Emery, CEO of Aldar Development, described the overwhelming response as a reflection of both market confidence and the appeal of Yas Island as a global lifestyle and leisure destination.
“With Yas Island’s current and upcoming attractions gaining international recognition, the rapid sell-out of Yas Living further showcases the island’s position as one of the UAE’s most in-demand destinations,” Emery said.
“The market response also reflects Abu Dhabi’s enduring appeal as a global investment hub and the success of our strategy to create vibrant communities that resonate across demographics.”
A Testament to Abu Dhabi’s Growing Property Market
The sell-out of Yas Living is the latest in a string of high-performing launches for Aldar, reinforcing the strength of Abu Dhabi’s residential market, which continues to benefit from economic stability, progressive regulations, and strong international investor confidence.
As Aldar continues to expand its Living Collection portfolio, Yas Living stands as a model for contemporary design, community integration, and sustainable urban development, setting a new benchmark for lifestyle-oriented living in the capital.
