NORD Launches NOVAYAS on Yas Island Near Disneyland | AED 300M Project
Abu Dhabi-based NORD Real Estate Development has officially launched NOVAYAS, a contemporary mixed-use residential development located in the heart of Yas Island.
Novayas come with an estimated development value of AED 300 million, the project adds a new layer of design-focused, lifestyle-driven housing to one of Abu Dhabi’s most active growth districts.
Positioned within walking distance of the upcoming Disneyland Abu Dhabi and minutes from Ferrari World and Yas Island’s major attractions, NOVAYAS is strategically located at the intersection of leisure, connectivity, and everyday urban living. The development also benefits from direct access to Abu Dhabi city centre and convenient road links to Dubai, reinforcing its appeal to both end users and long-term investors.
A Refined Urban Residential Offering
NOVAYAS has been envisioned as a refined urban sanctuary, combining contemporary architecture with a curated residential experience. The project comprises 96 residential units, offering a mix of studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a limited-edition four-bedroom penthouse located on the top floor.
Unit sizes range from 41 square metres for studios to 305 square metres for larger family residences, providing flexibility for a wide spectrum of buyers. Select homes enjoy open views towards Yas Island landmarks, including visual corridors towards the future Disneyland development.
Retail space at ground level enhances the mixed-use character of the project, supporting daily convenience while maintaining a residential-focused environment.
Architecture and Design Philosophy
Architecturally, NOVAYAS is defined by modern forms, layered façades and fluid lines designed to maximise natural light and visual openness. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and expansive balconies strengthen the connection between indoor and outdoor living, while landscaped surroundings and pedestrian-friendly access points create a calm and welcoming atmosphere.
Interiors have been designed with an emphasis on clarity, functionality and timeless appeal. Neutral material palettes, efficient layouts and light-filled living areas reflect a contemporary approach to urban living while supporting long-term usability rather than short-term trends.
Lifestyle Amenities and Sustainability Features
The development integrates a selection of amenities aimed at enhancing everyday quality of life. These include adult and children’s swimming pools, a fully equipped gym, an outdoor cinema, children’s play areas, landscaped communal spaces, and dedicated parking facilities with EV charging infrastructure. These features position NOVAYAS as a lifestyle-led residential address, responding to evolving buyer expectations around wellness, sustainability and community-focused living.
NOVAYAS is being offered under freehold ownership, with prices starting from AED 1.25 million. The payment structure includes 40 per cent during construction and 60 per cent on handover, making it accessible to both investors and end users seeking exposure to Yas Island’s long-term growth trajectory.
According to NORD, the project has been designed to balance lifestyle value with investment fundamentals, supported by its location, limited supply, and proximity to future entertainment-driven demand drivers.
As Yas Island continues to evolve into one of Abu Dhabi’s most established residential and entertainment destinations, developments such as NOVAYAS reflect a broader shift toward compact, design-conscious urban living within high-demand locations.
By combining thoughtful architecture, strategic positioning, and a measured residential scale, NOVAYAS adds depth to Yas Island’s residential offering while reinforcing its status as a key investment and lifestyle hub in Abu Dhabi’s real estate landscape.
