Yas Riva Residence

Location and connectivity

Yas Island is Abu Dhabi's entertainment and leisure destination, and Yas Riva Residences sits within a short drive of Zayed International Airport, Fahid Island, Saadiyat Island and Abu Dhabi city. Aldar puts Dubai around 50 minutes away by road. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and Yas Marina Circuit stand on the same island, so leisure, dining and motorsport sit alongside daily life rather than at the end of a commute. The community is also positioned to benefit from the upcoming Etihad Rail and Yas Tram connections, which will tie the island more closely into the wider Abu Dhabi network.

Homes, sizes and amenities

The published mix starts with studios of about 47 sq m, roughly 506 sq ft, and extends to three-bedroom homes with a maid's room of about 187 sq m, roughly 2,013 sq ft. One-bedroom apartments average close to 72 sq m, about 774 sq ft, and two-bedroom apartments close to 120 sq m, about 1,292 sq ft. Studios open from AED 1,350,000, one-bedroom homes from AED 1,850,000, two-bedroom homes from AED 2,890,000 and three-bedroom homes from AED 4,850,000.

At the centre of the masterplan stands The Pavilion, a social hub with a cafe and a communal social kitchen, drawing on the modernist architecture of Barcelona's Pavilion. Around it Aldar has planned a gym with waterfront views, a wellness spa, family and adults' pools, a pool cafe, a padel court, tennis and basketball courts, an outdoor gym, yoga facilities, jogging and cycling trails, a community library, a multi-purpose room and family lounge, kids' play areas, a waterfront promenade and a water sports and boating hub. Shaded gardens, landscaped walkways and canal-side cafes run through the scheme, which targets Estidama Pearl 3 certification and Fitwel 2 standards. Concierge, wellness support, fitness training, 24/7 security and maintenance are part of the resident service offer.

Payment plan and who it suits

Aldar has published a 65/35 structure: a 5% Down Payment on booking, 60% paid in stages during construction and 35% on handover, which is scheduled for Q4 2029. Buyers of all nationalities can purchase. Investors get an entry point of AED 1,350,000 on a waterfront Yas Island address, in a community that sits beside a villa phase Aldar has already sold out, with a staged plan that spreads the cost across the construction period. Owner occupiers get island living with a canal on one side and Abu Dhabi's best known leisure attractions on the other, in layouts that run from a studio to a three-bedroom home with a maid's room. Masterpiece Property can guide you through availability by building, floor level and view, and handle the reservation from first viewing to signed contract.
