Yas Island continues to lead Abu Dhabi’s transformation into a world-class residential and investment hub - combining leisure, connectivity and strong real estate fundamentals. Among its most established communities stands Water’s Edge by Aldar, a completed waterfront project that continues to attract residents and investors for one reason: consistent performance backed by real data.

Aldar’s Canalfront Vision

Developed by Aldar Properties, Water’s Edge is a mid-rise residential community of 13 buildings stretching along the Yas Canal. It offers landscaped courtyards, jogging tracks, cafés, grocery stores and direct access to the canal promenade - a rare level of walkability for the UAE. 

The community sits within five minutes of SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, Yas Mall and Etihad Arena, connecting residents to the island’s entertainment and retail core.

Infrastructure upgrades continue to raise long-term value: the Yas Tram network is in advanced planning (source) and a water-taxi pier operates near the promenade, linking Yas Island with Raha Beach and Saadiyat.

Market Context

Abu Dhabi’s real estate market recorded AED 51.72 billion in transactions in H1 2025, a 39 percent increase year-on-year (source). Residential prices on Yas Island rose 17 percent YoY as demand outpaced supply.  Average rental yields for waterfront apartments range between 7 and 9 percent, outperforming global benchmarks (source).

During the 2024 Formula 1 Grand Prix, Yas Island hosted over 192,000 visitors, generating AED 1.25 billion in spending across hotels and rentals (source). 

Lifestyle and Convenience

Water’s Edge is a community designed for practical coastal living.
Residents enjoy:

• multiple swimming pools and fitness gyms
   
• shaded jogging and cycling tracks along the canal
   
• cafés and breakfast spots such as La Brioche
   
• an on-site grocery store, beauty salon and pharmacy
   
• direct access to the water-taxi pier connecting Yas Island with Raha Beach

Everyday life here means you can walk to Yas Mall, SeaWorld, or Yas Bay Promenade within minutes - a level of convenience that defines Yas Island’s lifestyle proposition.
