Sea La Vie by 9Yards Developments

About the project 

In Q1 2023, 9Yards Developments presented its first ever residential development in the form of Sea La Vie, which is located in Yas Bay on Yas Island. As of 2023, the project is under construction, and has an estimated date of completion in Q1 2026.

The luxurious four-tower mixed-use complex features a variety of stylish properties, including 1–4 bedroom apartments, one-bedroom double-level lofts, four-bedroom penthouses, as well as 2 and 4-bedroom duplexes. 

In total, there will be 605 units available for acquisition, with living areas of residences ranging from 732 sq. ft to 6,835 sq. ft. All residences will come with at least one balcony, which will overlook a stunning waterfront, and select layouts will include a maid's room. 

Key advantages 

Sea La Vie will house retail facilities and various lifestyle amenities onsite, such as a gym and a children's play area. The focal point of the upcoming complex will be a large swimmable lagoon, where one can enjoy both water and beach activities. 

Infrastructure 

Residents of Sea La Vie can easily reach any of the following leisure and recreational destinations, which are all just a 15-minute walk away. These include The Warehouse Gym Yas Bay and Pier71, which has a collection of award-winning restaurants, bars and cafes. 

Due to the fact that the social infrastructure of the area has not yet been developed, the closest medical facilities, educational establishments and supermarkets are located about a 15-minute drive away. The closest supermarkets are presented by Spinneys and Carrefour Hypermarket, and the nearest educational institutions are Yas School, SABIS International School — Yas Island and West Yas Academy. For medical services, residents of Sea La Vie can go to Yas Clinic Khalifa City.

Sea La Vie will be nestled in Yas Bay, which is one of Abu Dhabi's most prestigious addresses. The residential complex is close to Yas Dr, with easy access to Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan St, as well as Abu Dhabi International Airport, which is a 15-minute drive away. 

Due to the advantageous location in the main entertainment hub of the emirate — Yas Island — residents can easily reach several popular landmarks of the UAE capital. Attractions on the island include Yas Marina Abu Dhabi, Yas Marina Circuit, Yas Links Abu Dhabi and Etihad Arena. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi with the fastest roller coaster on the planet is also located here. Travel time to all the above-mentioned attractions takes about a 5–10 minute drive.

Economic attractiveness 

Sea La Vie by 9Yards Developments is a highly appealing investment option, both as a private residence and as a commercial investment asset. The project is located within close proximity to Yas Creative Hub, which houses twofour54, which is the free media zone of Abu Dhabi. The zone houses over 600 gaming and media companies and the hub is set to attract 16K talented individuals by 2030. Such an influx of professionals means that demand for property in Yas Bay, such as Sea La Vie, will increase. 

As of Q1 2022, the starting rental price for a one-bedroom apartment in this area amounts to AED 45K (USD 12K) per year. The average gross yield for this type of real estate has reached 5.7%.
