Abu Dhabi-based developer Aldar Properties has announced the launch of Gardenia Bay, a residential community featuring 2,434 homes with a mix of studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
Construction of the first phase of Gardenia Bay, a community that is located opposite Yas Park, will begin in Q1 2024, with handovers expected in Q2 2027. Around 210 of the community’s 2,434 modern homes, including studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, will be made available to buyers in the first phase of the development starting from 8 September, said the developer.
Aldar said the residential community aims to connect residents with nature and brings urban tranquillity and waterfront living into Yas Island. Prices start from AED805,000 for studios, while three-bedroom apartments start from AED3.1M.
Buildings will be oriented to maximise shade and reduce heat, with additional cooling from water features and significant emphasis on landscaping and planting selection, it stated.
Fostering a sense of belonging, community activations and amenities will be seen across the development through ‘The Bay View’, a social clubhouse with co-working spaces and outdoor working pods, community farming, zen gardens, barbecue areas, educational kids’ play areas, an amphitheatre, and an urban beach club.
Residents will have a central amenity building and secondary amenities, including a gymnasium, cycling and jogging tracks, a café, and a multi-purpose area. A mosque will also be built to accommodate over 2,000 worshippers.
