Gardenia Bay announced for Yas Island
The landscape-themed development will integrate waterfront living and wide range of amenities, with first handovers in 2027
Abu Dhabi-based developer Aldar Properties has launched Gardenia Bay, an extensive residential community on Yas Island. The development features 2,434 homes with a mix of studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments.
Construction of the first phase of Gardenia Bay, located opposite Yas Park, will begin in Q1 2024, with handovers expected in Q2 2027.
Approximately 210 of the community’s homes will be made available to buyers in the first phase of the development, starting from 8 September. Aldar says the residential community aims to connect residents with nature and brings urban tranquility and waterfront living into Yas Island.
Buildings will be oriented to maximise shade and reduce heat, with additional cooling from water features and significant emphasis on landscaping and planting selection.
There will also be community activities and amenities across the development, courtesy of ‘The Bay View’, a social clubhouse with co-working spaces and outdoor working pods, community farming, zen gardens, barbecue areas, educational kids’ play areas, an amphitheatre, and an urban beach club.
Chief Commercial Officer Rashed Al Omaira said, “In response to the growing demand for sustainable and wellness-focused communities, we are delighted to unveil Gardenia Bay, our latest product offering, building on wellness, nature and the best of waterside living on Yas Island. Residents at the development will enjoy varied urban amenities and facilities, and most importantly, a sense of community that we believe will pique the interest of existing and new customers.”
Residents will have a central amenity building and secondary amenities, including a gymnasium, cycling and jogging tracks, a café, and a multi-purpose area. A mosque will also be built to accommodate over 2,000 worshippers.
