Gardenia Bay, Yas Island

9 apartments listed on Yas Island, 3 of them finished
Under AED 2 million you buy a contract. Finished homes we list start at AED 3,050,000.
Nine apartments, from a Gardenia Bay studio at AED 1,080,000 to an Ansam two bedroom on the golf course at AED 3,300,000. Launches hand over from 2026 to Q1 2030.
The list, counted
Counted on 22 September 2026 from the apartments we list and the projects in our catalogue. A sale or a new listing changes these figures.
What your budget opens
Four price steps across the nine apartments we list. Watch the finished count: it stays at zero until the budget passes AED 3,000,000.
BudgetAED 1,100,000
One studio of 468 sq ft at Gardenia Bay, Aldar's canal community due from Q2 2027.
BudgetAED 1,800,000
Three Gardenia Bay one bedrooms and a furnished Diva two bedroom join. All are contracts.
BudgetAED 2,000,000
A Yas Riva Residences one bedroom, handover in 2029. Still no finished home.
BudgetAED 3,300,000
Water's Edge and Ansam add the three finished homes, each 1,304 sq ft or more.
Below that gap every home is a contract of 468 to 950 sq ft. Above it every home is finished, at 1,304 to 1,410 sq ft. The rate per sq ft moves less than the size: AED 1,863 to AED 2,508 below, AED 2,179 to AED 2,531 above.
Slide the budget, count the keys
Each step counts the Yas apartments we list today, so the answer is a home you could view this week.
Water's Edge and Ansam add the three finished homes, each 1,304 sq ft or more.
Counts come from our own listings and catalogue, so they move as homes sell.

Three contracts under AED 2,000,000 beside the three finished homes, so both sides of the gap are here. Open a card for the floor, the view and the handover.
Where on the island
Two finished communities, two still being built and one launch. Each card says what we list there and what defines the address.

Launching on the island
Six releases in handover order, from Vista Del Mar in Q3 2026 to Yas Park Place in Q1 2030. Each card opens at that release's own starting price.
By size
What each size asks on our list, the floor area it gives, and what the same size opened at when the island's launches were released.
| Size | Listed with us | Lowest asking | Floor area |
|---|---|---|---|
| StudioGardenia Bay released studios at AED 805,000 in 2023. Novayas opens at AED 1,250,000. | 1 | AED 1,080,000 | 468 sq ft |

Finished or still being built
Our lowest finished apartment asks AED 1,108,900 more than our dearest contract. What the difference buys is the keys now and a larger home.
| Finished against off plan on Yas Island | Ready | Off plan |
|---|---|---|
| Listed with us today | 3: two at Water's Edge, one at Ansam | 6: Gardenia Bay 4, Diva 1, Yas Riva Residences 1 |

Want to live on Yas this year, or collect rent from the day you buy? Finished at Water's Edge or Ansam. Happy to wait for the keys? A contract under AED 2,000,000 asks far less today.
On top of the price
A finished home asks for its fee at transfer. A contract resale asks for what the seller has paid, then follows the developer's plan to the keys.
| Cost | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Registration fee | 2% of the price | On a finished home or a contract resale alike: AED 61,000 on the AED 3,050,000 Water's Edge home. |
| Down Payment on a first home | 20% expatriates, 15% UAE nationals | AED 610,000 on the Water's Edge three bedroom, or AED 457,500 for a UAE national. |
| Taking over a contract | What the seller has paid | One Gardenia Bay one bedroom is 35% paid. The rest follows Aldar's plan to 2027. |
| Down Payment on a launch | 5% or 10% | 5% at Yas Riva Residences, Yas Park Place and STELLAR. 10% at Vista Del Mar. |
| Paid on handover | 35% to 60% of the price | 35% at Yas Riva Residences, 50% at Yas Park Place, 60% at Novayas and Vista Del Mar. |
The Water's Edge three bedroom needs AED 671,000 on transfer day with a 20% Down Payment and the 2% registration fee. A Yas Riva Residences one bedroom launched at AED 1,850,000 asks AED 92,500 to book and AED 647,500 on handover.
Service charges are set building by building, so we give you the figure in writing. Launch plans can change between releases.

The sums use only what you set. Your bank decides the rate, the term and the Down Payment, so ask it for a written offer before you commit.
How to buy
Four steps from the first viewing to the keys, for a finished home or a contract. Every figure reaches you in writing before you sign.
Walk through a finished home. For a contract, ask for the developer's statement of what has been paid so far.
Agree the price with the owner, sign the sale contract and pay the deposit you both set.
Your bank approves the mortgage if you borrow. On a contract, the developer confirms the move into your name.
The sale is registered in Abu Dhabi and the 2% registration fee is paid. A finished home is yours that day; a contract waits for handover.

The nine we list run from AED 1,080,000 for a 468 sq ft studio at Gardenia Bay to AED 3,300,000 for a 1,304 sq ft two bedroom at Ansam, and the middle one asks AED 1,770,000. At launch, studios opened at AED 805,000 at Gardenia Bay in 2023, AED 980,000 at Yas Living in 2025 and AED 1,250,000 at Novayas.
Not from our list today. All six apartments we list under AED 2,000,000 are contracts still being built, and our finished ones start at AED 3,050,000 at Water's Edge. Tell us the size you need and we send finished homes as owners list them.
Ansam was the first Yas community handed over, in 2017. Mayan and Water's Edge followed from 2020, and Aldar scheduled Yas Golf Collection handovers from Q3 2025. Our finished listings today are two Water's Edge three bedrooms and an Ansam two bedroom.
The Sustainable City from May 2026, Vista Del Mar in Q3 2026, Gardenia Bay from Q2 2027, STELLAR in 2028, Bab Al Qasr Residence 25 in Q3 2028, Novayas in June 2029, Manchester City Yas Residences in 2029, Yas Riva Residences in Q4 2029 and Yas Park Place in Q1 2030.
Yas Riva Residences asks 5% on booking, 60% during construction and 35% on handover. Yas Park Place is 5/45/50, STELLAR 5/35/60, Vista Del Mar 10/30/60 and Manchester City Yas Residences 10/40/50. Novayas asks 40% during construction and 60% on handover.
On our list, yes. A Gardenia Bay studio launched at AED 805,000 in 2023, and one of 468 sq ft now asks AED 1,080,000. A Yas Riva Residences one bedroom launched at AED 1,850,000, and ours asks AED 1,941,100. The seller's premium sits on top of what they have already paid.
Aldar describes Water's Edge as a five minute walk from Yas Mall, Ferrari World and Yas Marina Circuit, and one of our Water's Edge homes looks toward Ferrari World and SeaWorld. NORD puts Novayas 5 to 7 minutes from Ferrari World, and Aldar places Mayan about 5 minutes from it.
Ansam, Mayan and Yas Golf Collection all sit beside Yas Links, the island's links course. The Ansam two bedroom we list is a corner home with a golf and water view, mid floor, at AED 3,300,000.
Yes. Aldar sold Gardenia Bay and Yas Living to buyers of all nationalities, and NORD sells Novayas as freehold, so the home and its title are yours outright.
The Abu Dhabi registration fee of 2% of the contract value, paid when the sale is registered, whether the home is finished or a contract, and the building's service charge each year, which differs from one community to the next. If you borrow, the bank asks for a Down Payment of 20% from expatriates and 15% from UAE nationals on a first home under AED 5 million.
Yes. The Ansam two bedroom on our list is let until 10 July 2027, so the buyer takes over the tenancy and the rent from the day of transfer. A contract earns nothing until its building is handed over.
