Fay Valley

Fay Valley sits inside Masdar City, Abu Dhabi's flagship sustainable urban district. It is the second residential village of Fay Hills, a 153 acre masterplan created by Taraf together with Masdar City and made up of four interconnected villages. Fay Valley itself covers 80 acres, and the Fay Hills sales gallery stands next to Al Masar Skate Park.

Fay Valley is developed by Taraf, the real estate arm of Abu Dhabi based Yas Holding, in partnership with Masdar City. The two partners launched the Fay Hills masterplan in December 2025, and Fay Valley is the second of its four residential villages, following Fay Gardens as the community is delivered in phases.

Fay Valley releases 381 homes in six typologies: two bedroom and three bedroom townhouses, each with a guest room, four bedroom villas in two distinct types, and five bedroom and six bedroom villas. Built up areas on the current release run from 2,249 sq ft to 5,514 sq ft, with prices starting at AED 3,140,000.

The plan is structured 40/60. Buyers pay a 5% Down Payment on booking, then seven further instalments of 5% each, one every six months through construction, which brings 40% due before completion. The remaining 60% falls due on handover, so most of the price is paid only when the home is ready.

Taraf has scheduled completion of Fay Valley for the second quarter of 2030. The instalment schedule is built around that date, with payments falling every six months until handover. Fay Valley is the second village to be delivered within the wider Fay Hills community.

Residents get jogging trails, a yoga deck, tennis and padel courts, a dedicated cycle track and nature play zones, plus water features and reflecting pools through the landscape. A village oasis square carries retail and dining, and there is a community centre, an event lawn, art installations and a clubhouse with hydrotherapy pools, fitness facilities and a cafe terrace.

Masdar City requires every new building within its boundaries to achieve at least a 3 Pearl Estidama rating, the Abu Dhabi rating system for sustainable building. The district also holds one of the largest clusters of LEED Platinum buildings in the world and has committed to net zero emissions by 2050, so any new home at Fay Valley must be delivered to that standard.

The back weighted schedule suits investors who want a modest commitment now and a long runway to completion in 2030, since only 40% falls due before handover. The same homes suit families, because every unit is a villa or townhouse rather than an apartment, the townhouses include a guest room, and the villas run to six bedrooms.
