The Canopies is the first residential community to launch at Yas Point, Aldar's AED 6 billion waterfront destination on the northern shore of Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The project comprises 592 apartments across six mid-rise buildings, offering studios and 1, 2 and 3-bedroom layouts from 46 to 184 sqm, including 2BR + maid and 3BR + maid + study configurations. Designed as a garden-led community, it sits within more than 10,000 sqm of landscaped open space — shaded pathways, gardens, outdoor wellness areas and social spaces — with five-star resort amenities and the beach a short walk away. Prices start at AED 1.65 million on a 55/45 payment plan with a 5% down payment. Handover is scheduled for Q3 2030.
The community is built around its greenery — shaded pathways, gardens, outdoor wellness areas and social spaces. Central Park sits at the heart of the layout.
The Canopies opens directly onto the wider Yas Point masterplan, which brings a public beach and a 700-metre waterfront promenade to the island's northern coastline. A marina and yacht club, watersports and beachside dining are planned along the same stretch.

The Canopies is the first release within a 600,000 sqm masterplan planned for around 1,600 homes and 5,000 residents — meaning buyers enter before the beach, promenade, marina, hotel and school are delivered. Abu Dhabi apartment prices rose 17.3% year-on-year to AED 1,296 per sq ft in Q2 2025, according to Knight Frank’s Abu Dhabi Residential Market Review. The 55/45 payment plan with a 5% down payment keeps entry costs low across a five-year build, and Golden Visa eligibility applies from AED 2M — a threshold met from the one-bedroom apartments upward. Yas Island is a designated freehold zone, open to buyers of any nationality.
Q3 2030
Real estate types
Yas Island draws year-round demand from the aviation and hospitality workforce, long-stay professionals and visitors to its theme parks, Yas Marina Circuit and Etihad Arena, with the Formula 1 weekend and major concert dates driving seasonal peaks. Studios and one-bedroom apartments — the two largest unit counts in the project at 156 and 130 units — are the formats most suited to this demand, while larger layouts with maid's rooms appeal to relocating families on long-term leases
As the first residential launch at Yas Point, The Canopies is priced before the destination's beach, promenade, marina and five-star hotel come online — the infrastructure that typically drives value in a new masterplan. With 592 apartments out of roughly 1,600 planned across the whole destination, early buyers hold a limited share of a location that will only become more established.
The Canopies suits families and professionals who want the energy of Yas Island without living in the middle of it — the northern shore setting is quieter and greener, yet the theme parks, Yas Mall and the marina are all minutes away. Studios and one-bedroom layouts work for singles and couples, while 2BR + maid and 3BR + maid + study configurations are built for families, with an international school for around 3,600 students planned within the same masterplan.
The Yas island is considered the main entertainment centre of Abu Dhabi; it is home to world-famous theme parks with attractions and thrill rides for both adults and children.
By taking the E11 highway, you can get to any location in Abu Dhabi with little to no traffic. Saadiyat Island, home to many museums, galleries and fine dining establishments, is a 15-20 minute drive away. Abu Dhabi International Airport is less than 15 minutes away.
Families with children will appreciate the proximity to international kindergartens and schools. It is a 10-15 minute drive from Yellow Submarine Nursery – West Yas and Blossom Nursery – Yas Water’s Edge. High-quality medical services are provided at Bioclinic Medical Center and Yas Marina Circuit Medical Center, which can be reached by car in 15 minutes.
