Waters Edge by Aldar Properties, Yas Island
About the Project
Waters Edge by Aldar Properties in Yas Island Set in Yas Island, this is the latest apartments release from Aldar Properties, combining apartments from 463 sq. ft with a payment plan structured around construction milestones. Entry pricing starts at AED 854,000.
Water’s Edge is a residential complex by Aldar Properties, located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, just a few metres from the shore. The development consists of 13 medium height buildings with 2,262 elite residences that include modern studios from 463 sq. ft and spacious apartments with 1–3 bedrooms from 581 sq. ft. All property units have balconies and offer picturesque views of the sea canal and the island’s surroundings.
About Waters Edge in Yas Island
At its core, Waters Edge is about a resort-led residential brief. The collection spans 463 sq. ft, arranged across a composition of residential towers, with living spaces oriented toward views across Yas Island and bedrooms sized for full-time living rather than short stays.
That positioning matters for the buy-to-let case as much as for owner-occupiers: homes that work for permanent residents hold occupancy through market cycles far better than units designed purely for showings.
The numbers frame the offer clearly: 1 to 3-bedroom layouts, built-up areas from 463 to 581 sq. ft.
Amenities & Lifestyle at Waters Edge
The amenity offering is deliberately family-weighted, centred on:
- Swimming Pool
- Gym
- Cycling
- Playground
- Children
- Barbecue
- Parking
- Security
- Park
- Promenade
For end-users this amenity stack removes the need for external memberships; for investors it underwrites rental appeal to professional tenants.
Location & Connectivity
Connectivity is one of the project’s strongest cards. Carrefour Water, Carrefour Market, Laura Coffee And Bakery, and Culann Aries are all within easy reach, and the area’s road links put the rest of the capital within a short drive.
Key destinations by car:
- 5–15 minutes — SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, Yas Mall, Yas Gateway Park, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi
- 20–35 minutes — Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi International Airport
For families, the practical mix matters as much as the commute: supermarkets, clinics and schools cluster within the district, and the arterial network links Yas Island to the capital’s employment hubs without long motorway stretches.
Why Invest in Waters Edge?
Investors typically underwrite Waters Edge on three pillars: capital appreciation during construction, rental demand in the district remains underpinned by professionals working in the capital’s core districts and a liquid resale or rental market on completion. The absence of property income tax and the AED 2M Golden Visa threshold sharpen the case further.
Payment Plan & Handover
Buyers pay in stages aligned to construction, with funds held in a regulated escrow account and released only against engineer certification. Handover is scheduled ready to move in.
