Yas Island: Canal Front Apartments With a Football Academy on Site

Key details

About this property

The address is Yas Island, on the bank of the Yas Canal, and the apartments sit in a low building of eight residential floors with the retail and cafes of the canal promenade at their feet. The wider scheme is 170 hectares with half of it left open and a 500,000 square metre garden at its centre, so what the balconies look at is water on one side and planting on the other rather than the next block. The Abu Dhabi airport is ten to fifteen minutes, the Louvre fifteen to twenty, the Corniche twenty five to thirty. Four types carry published prices and the gaps between them are wide. The one bedroom is 73 square metres of interior, 79 with the balcony, from 2,000,000. The two bedroom is 112 interior, 127 with the balcony, from 3,100,000, and it comes with a maid's room. The three bedroom is 138 interior, 175 with a 37 square metre terrace, from 4,450,000. The penthouse sits on the eighth floor at 300 square metres of interior plus 105 of terrace, four bedrooms each with a bathroom, from 11,000,000. A studio of 41.5 square metres is also built but is not in the published price list. The amenity list is the reason this address is priced the way it is, and it is not the usual pool and gym. There is a football academy with full size pitches, indoor multi sport training studios, performance studios, a tactical room, a trophy gallery and a heritage centre. Next to the sport sits a recovery floor: an oxygen therapy room, cryotherapy and infrared suites, a hydrotherapy circuit, an altitude and heat training room, a spa and sauna and a mind studio. On the water there is a crystal lagoon, an infinity pool, a rooftop pool, a watersports club, a recovery pier and marina access, and the ground floors carry a fine dining restaurant, a cafe, a store, a medical centre and a mosque. Ownership is freehold and open to all nationalities, which on Yas Island is not the case everywhere. Five percent reserves a unit; the rest of the schedule is set on the reservation form, because the developer is running more than one structure at once and the published versions differ. Two things to weigh. The handover date has not been published, so nothing about timing goes in writing until it is on the contract. And every type from the one bedroom upward clears the two million dirham residency visa threshold, the one bedroom exactly at it, which is a conversation to have precisely rather than approximately.
