The Sustainable City Yas Island by Aldar Properties and Diamond Developers

About the project 

Nestled on Yas Island, The Sustainable City Yas Island is both an eco-conscious and a fully-sustainable mega-community by Aldar Properties in partnership with Diamond Developers. The community will consist of 10 car-free residential clusters in the community.

There will be a total of 864 residential units, which will all be powered by renewable energy and feature biodomes and solar panels. Other key sustainability features of The Sustainable City Yas Island include low-flow water fixtures, smart irrigation systems, shared electric buggies, EV charging stations and the use of recycled materials and low carbon products throughout the development. 

As of H1 2023, there are 120 3–4 bedroom townhouses and 128 1–3 bedroom condominiums on offer to purchase as part of the first phase. The residential units come in light and dark colour schemes, enabling you to personalize your living spaces to your own design style.

The condominiums with 1–2 bedrooms and select townhouses will be complemented by private gardens and terraces. Property owners will also be able to benefit from a maid's room in 2 and 3-bedroom condominiums and all the townhouses in The Sustainable City Yas Island. The size of the properties range from 721 sq. ft to 3,358 sq. ft and the average plot area of the townhouses varies between 2,551 sq. ft and 2,852 sq. ft.

Key advantages 

The Sustainable City Yas Island will be designed to offer the ultimate leisure, recreational and entertainment experiences for its residents. Amenities of the development include a central green spine, a skate park, cycling and running tracks, a gym, dog park & animal sanctuary, parks, lakes, and much more. There will also be biodomes for growing vegetables and private farming plots. 

Infrastructure 

The Sustainable City Yas Island will offer its residents and visitors a well-developed social infrastructure, as there will be numerous parks and green zones within the territory of the community, which are ideally suited for walking with friends or family. Sport lovers will appreciate the multiple swimming pools, football field, padel court and basketball courts located within the community as well. 

There will be a nursery and a mosque in The Sustainable City Yas Island, and the nearest schools are presented by SABIS International School — Yas Island and Yas School. Travel time to all the above-mentioned institutions takes about a 10-minute drive.

The residential community will boast 32,291 sq. ft of retail space, but the closest major shopping destination on Yas Island will be Yas Mall, which houses numerous high street and luxury brands, as well as many restaurants. The destination can be reached in less than a 10-minute drive from the community.

Nestled in Yas North of Yas Island, alongside Abu Tammam St, The Sustainable City Yas Island is adjacent to another iconic project by Aldar Properties called Yas Acres. Due to the excellent location of the development, residents will be able to reach Abu Dhabi International Airport within about 20 minutes.

Residents of the exclusive project will be able to easily reach some of the UAE’s most iconic attractions located on Yas Island. These include Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi, Yas Acres Golf & Country Club and many more. Travel time to these landmarks will take less than a 10-minute drive.

Economic attractiveness 

One of the key advantages of the community are the reduced utility bills, with up to 50% of savings on energy bills and reduced water consumption as a result of the environmentally friendly and energy saving features. Aldar Properties also offers a 5-year free service charge promotion to all homebuyers, as well as a 2% rebate if you choose to buy a property with the help of a payment plan. 

The first handovers of The Sustainable City Yas Island are scheduled between Q4 2025 – Q1 2026. When residing here, residents will be able to enjoy a natural lifestyle experience with access to clean energy, locally grown produce and carbon-free mobility. This is one of the few Estidama 3-pearl communities in the capital, which will have the latest innovations in sustainable technology.

The Sustainable City Yas Island will be one of the most popular communities in Abu Dhabi for residing in. As of Q1 2023, one-bedroom apartments on Yas Island generate an average ROI of 5.6%, with a starting rental price of AED 45K (USD 12K) per annum.
