Aldar Launches The Canopies at Yas Point
A new waterfront residential community arrives on Yas Island's northern shore, just minutes from the island's leading entertainment and lifestyle destinations
Aldar has launched The Canopies, the first residential community to debut at Yas Point, the recently announced AED6 billion waterfront destination taking shape on Yas Island's northern shore. The launch marks an early milestone for Yas Point, positioning The Canopies as the community that will set the tone for the wider masterplan to come.
Introducing The Canopies
The Canopies brings a green, low-rise residential character to Yas Point, built around landscaped open space and a relaxed, community-first layout. Registrations for the project's residential units are set to open on 29 July.
The development comprises 592 apartments spread across six mid-rise buildings, with a layout designed to offer residents variety and flexibility across:
- Studios
- One-bedroom apartments
- Two-bedroom apartments
- Three-bedroom apartments
Green Space at the Heart of the Community
A defining feature of The Canopies is its scale of landscaping — more than 10,000 square metres of landscaped open space woven through the community. This includes:
- Shaded pathways connecting the six buildings
- Community gardens
- Outdoor wellness areas
- Social gathering spaces for residents
The design leans into Yas Point's waterfront setting, prioritising outdoor living and green infrastructure alongside the residential towers themselves a departure from purely tower-and-podium developments elsewhere on the island.
Location: Minutes From Yas Island's Best
The Canopies sits just minutes from Yas Island's leading entertainment and lifestyle attractions, giving residents easy access to the island's dining, retail, theme parks, and leisure offerings, while still enjoying a quieter, waterfront residential setting set apart from the busier tourist core.
This positioning is central to Yas Point's broader appeal: proximity to everything Yas Island is known for, paired with a dedicated residential identity along the shoreline.
Part of a Bigger Vision: Yas Point
The Canopies is the first residential launch within Yas Point, the AED6 billion waterfront destination recently announced for Yas Island's northern shore. As the opening chapter of that masterplan, The Canopies offers an early look at the community-driven, landscape-led direction Yas Point is expected to take as further phases are unveiled.
