Aldar Properties has announced a complete sell-out of all 133 homes at the Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas on launch day, marking a significant milestone for the developer and generating AED 850 million in sales. This project represents the first-ever branded residential development on Yas Island, combining legendary hospitality with premium living.
Strategically located along the Yas Links Golf Course and offering panoramic views of the Yas Marina Circuit, the development attracted an exceptionally diverse buyer base. Expatriates and international investors accounted for 76% of total sales, with a substantial influx of buyers from the UK and China, underlining the global appeal of Yas Island as a dynamic and sought-after lifestyle destination. The remaining 24% of buyers were UAE nationals.
Notably, 66% of purchasers were under 45, underscoring a growing appetite for luxury, hospitality-driven living among younger buyers. Moreover, 68% were first-time Aldar buyers, reflecting the developer’s expanding reach and growing brand equity in the luxury segment.
“The sell-out of Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas marks a significant milestone for Aldar and highlights the attractiveness of Yas Island both as an investment destination and prime residential address,” said Jonathan Emery, CEO of Aldar Development. “As the island’s first branded residential offering, its overwhelming success is a strong indicator of the rising demand for luxury, hospitality-led living in Abu Dhabi and the universal appeal of the Waldorf Astoria brand.”
The residences offer an exclusive collection of fully furnished one-to-three-bedroom apartments, duplexes, and four-bedroom penthouses, all designed with contemporary elegance and infused with Waldorf Astoria’s world-renowned service. Residents will enjoy premium amenities, including concierge services, wellness facilities, and direct access to Yas Island’s vibrant entertainment and leisure ecosystem.
With this successful launch, Aldar continues to set new benchmarks for luxury real estate in the capital, while reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s position as a leading global destination for high-end living and investment.
