Abu Dhabi-based developer, Aldar Properties, announced that handovers of villas within its West Yas community will commence in June.
The handover process will be undertaken in phases, the first of which incorporates 300 villas, and continue throughout the remainder of 2018.
Launched in September 2015, the AED3.2bn West Yas community consists of 1,014 four- and five-bedrooms villas, ranging from 488 to 580sqm. Homes are still available for purchase within West Yas with prices starting from AED4.8mn. Its location on the Yas Island offers residents waterfront views, an abundance of green open spaces, and close proximity to Yas Mall and the islands other leisure facilities, beaches, and hotels. As a non-gated community, there are no service fees payable by villa owners.
Maan Farid Al-Awlaqi, executive director Commercial, at Aldar Properties, said: We are proud to start the handover of West Yas to customers, which marks the expansion of the residential population on Yas Island and builds on the handover of apartment community Ansam earlier in the year. West Yas is a key component of Yas Island, offering a full range of community amenities for residents of all nationalities. The delivery of these prime villas reinforces our reputation for delivering high quality homes in desirable locations and we look forward to continuing Yas Islands success story as Abu Dhabis most exciting destination.
As part of the handover process, Aldar is offering customers the opportunity to incorporate a number of smart technology options into their homes which focus on safety and security, cost-saving, sustainability, and lifestyle and convenience. Solutions being offered include smart lighting and thermostats, smart locks, fire alarm systems, security cameras, smart door and window sensors, motion sensors and smart home assistants.
West Yas features attractive amenities and facilities for its community, including a mosque for 2,000 worshippers, two schools, a retail centre, sports facilities, a petrol station, and extensive landscaping and greenery in its open public spaces, which overlook the mangroves surrounding Yas Island.
Client inspections, snagging and disinfecting of villas is well underway, and the garden plots will feature sweet soil instead of sand, to enable homeowners to start grassing their lawns and put in their own plants.
As at the end of Q1 this year, West Yas was 80% sold, which equates to 801 villas, with a sales value of AED3.66bn. Those interested in West Yas can visit Aldars sales centre on Yas Island.
