Aldar Properties has announced the launch of Yas Golf Collection, its latest community on the iconic Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.

Overlooking the stunning Yas Links Golf Course and Abu Dhabi’s mangroves, the AED1.7-billion ($482.6 million) resort-style community spreads over a gross floor area of 127,000 sq m and encompasses a total of 1,062 apartments and duplexes.

The community offers multiple home types to cater to a broad customer base, from unfurnished and furnished apartments, through to larger residences and units designed specifically for investors interested in short-term leasing, stated the developer.

Units overlooking the championship golf course also face the water. They will be available in studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment layouts, as well as two- and three-bedroom duplexes.  Homes in Yas Golf Collection are available to purchase by all nationalities.

In tune with customer trends, the larger units in the community have been designed to include dedicated studies to facilitate working or studying from home, and a range of studios and one-bedroom units come fully furnished with custom colour scheme packages.

On the launch, Chief Commercial Officer Rashed Al Omaira said: "Building on the highly successful product launches on Yas Island last year, Yas Golf Collection reinforces our belief in the island’s status as a world-class destination and one that is attracting large interest from both resident and overseas buyers."

Inspired by resort-style living, Yas Golf Collection offers residents access to communal podium gardens, community gyms and swimming pools, a fitness pavilion, multi-use sports courts, and a running track.  The community also boasts a range of 10 retail stores, a supermarket, restaurants and cafes.

Construction of Yas Golf Collection is due to begin in Q1 2023, with handovers expected to commence in Q3 2025.

In line with Aldar’s comprehensive sustainability strategy, the homes at Yas Golf Collection have also been designed to achieve a Two-Pearl rating for residential buildings and a One-Pearl rating for public areas, as per the Estidama sustainability rating system, exceeding the latest standards set in the UAE.
