Aldar Properties (‘Aldar’) has announced the launch of Yas Park Gate, a gated community development which will be located on the doorstep of Yas Park. As part of the second phase of development of North Yas, the AED 1.15 billion residential development will feature 508 new homes spanning over 255,000 sqm.

Units at Yas Park Gate will be available for purchase to all nationalities from September 1, and will offer buyers single-family homes, from two and three-bedroom townhouses starting at AED 1.74 million, to four-bedroom villas starting from AED 3.20 million. Homes in the gated development are of Mediterranean-inspired architectural style, and buyers will have a choice of two interior colour options. The development also boasts easy access to the 115,000 sqm Yas Park.

In line with the global move towards sustainable construction and living, Aldar says the homes at Yas Park Gate are designed to achieve a two-pearl rating, as per the UAE’s Estidama sustainability rating system.

Key sustainability measures taken at Yas Park Gate include efficient water fixtures and fittings that reduce consumption by 18%, the responsible sourcing of building materials to reduce the development’s carbon footprint, and using smart building designs and efficient cooling systems to achieve a 25% decrease in energy consumption. These ratings exceed those of similar developments across Abu Dhabi with Pearl 1 ratings.

“Yas Park Gate represents the next stage of the broader North Yas masterplan, which will further solidify the island as one of Abu Dhabi’s most sought-after destinations. Our research has shown growing customer demand for amenity-driven communities, so that has been a core focus for this development. As such, we expect to see strong demand from both homeowners and international and local investors seeking an attractive investment opportunity,” said Rashed Al Omaira, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldar Development.

He added: “Yas Park Gate is within walking distance of Yas Park, which will provide residents and visitors with a full suite of recreational, leisure and entertainment offerings on their doorsteps. The park is designed to be enjoyed all year round and to cater for people of all ages and interests.”
