Yas Point by Aldar Properties is a 600,000 sqm waterfront master-planned destination at the northernmost tip of Yas Island — unveiled by Aldar in July 2026 as a AED 6 billion development. The first community within Yas Point is The Canopies: studios (from AED 1.65M), 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, on a 55/45 payment plan with 5% at booking and handover in 2030.
The Yas Point masterplan includes 1,600 homes for approximately 5,000 residents, Yas Island's first northern beach (the existing southern beaches face a different coastal direction), a 700-metre waterfront promenade, a yacht club and marina, a five-star resort hotel, an entertainment village, and an international school for 3,600 students.
Yas Point is directly adjacent to two of the UAE's most anticipated mega-attractions: Sphere Abu Dhabi (the spherical entertainment venue, Abu Dhabi's answer to Sphere Las Vegas) and within minutes of Disney Abu Dhabi (opening 2025-2026). Aldar describes Yas Point as "the final chapter in Yas Island's transformation."

Yas Point occupies the northernmost tip of Yas Island — a point that has been designated for the island's most ambitious future development. The location places residents at the convergence of Yas Island's entertainment infrastructure and the new Sphere/Disney mega-attraction zone, with direct waterfront access to the island's first northern beach.
Aldar reported AED 40.6B in group sales in 2025 (up 21% YoY) and AED 71.7B development revenue backlog (Feb 2026 audited). This scale means Aldar has the capital to complete every committed project. For NRI buyers, developer financial health is the most important risk factor — Aldar's numbers remove it.
Yas Point is a new zone being built from scratch. Early buyers acquire at pre-infrastructure pricing. As Sphere Abu Dhabi opens, the northern beach is completed, and the masterplan matures, Yas Point pricing will be repriced toward comparable southern Yas Island communities at a premium for beach and marina access.
Yas Island's 7.5% gross rental yield (March 2026 market data) outperforms Saadiyat Island (5.8%) and Al Reem Island (6.7-8.4% for studios). Tourism-driven demand from Ferrari World, SeaWorld, F1, Etihad Arena, and the upcoming Disney AD and Sphere ensures structural rental absorption that is not present on Abu Dhabi's purely residential islands.
