UAE-based Aldar Properties said it has sold 90 per cent of the villas and town houses launched to date in the first two precincts within Yas Acres, Aldar's flagship golf and waterfront villa development on Yas Island.

One of the most significant new residential developments to be launched in Abu Dhabi by Aldar, Yas Acres will boast 1,315 villas which will be available for purchase by all nationalities.

Located on the northern shores of the island, the villa project will offer residents access to the golf course and club house, parks, schools and vibrant waterfront right on their doorstep.

CEO Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak said: "We are extremely pleased with the sales success of Yas Acres but also with the number of new customers we have drawn in from different countries. As we prepare to launch the next precinct in the coming weeks it is encouraging to see the significant interest shown by owner-occupiers, underlining the appeal of Yas Island living."

Yas Acres, he stated is the embodiment of Yas Island living, which emphasises community and puts leisure at the heart of everyday life.

"In line with this, a full-length nine-hole golf course and member’s country club sits at the heart of the development, which also boasts schools, mosques, community retail, a yacht club and marina. Moreover, villa clusters will include landscaped parks, running and cycling tracks, community pool areas along with playgrounds, sports facilities and BBQ areas," he added.

According to him, almost 80 per cent of sales are from new customers to Aldar – many of whom are planning to be owner occupiers, attracted to the unique Yas Island living concept.

Yas Acres has generated significant interest from a diverse purchaser base drawn from across the GCC, wider MENA region as well as international markets further afield, he added.

"Yas Acres offers all the key elements that make a house a family home. The distinct community and exceptional design quality of the villas and townhouses make it one of the most sought-after addresses in Abu Dhabi, not to mention the convenient access to an array of amenities both within the development and on Yas Island – Abu Dhabi’s most exciting destination," observed Al Mubarak.

Yas Acres’ most prized real estate “Royal Oak” runs the full length of the development, along either side of the golf course, and onto the northern shores of Yas Island.

The homes on offer range from four- to six-bedroom luxury villas with golf, park and waterfront views, all of which have been designed to the highest specifications.-TradeArabia News Service
