UAE-based Aldar Properties has launched a Dh6-billion ($1.63 billion) golf and waterfront development at Yas Island, its largest project to date.

Yas Acres will boast 1,315 villas which will be available for purchase by all nationalities. Located on the northern shores of the island, the project will offer residents access to the golf course and clubhouse, parks, and schools.

The prices for the units within Yas Acres start from Dh2.9 million ($789,309) for three-bedroom townhouses. At the centre of Yas Acres, and running the full length of the development along either side of the golf course and onto the northern shores of Yas Island sits “Royal Oak” – four-, five- and six-bedroom luxury villas with golf, park and sea views. Each home has been designed to the highest specifications and will be one of the largest in Yas Acres.

Yas Acres, upon completion, will be home to 15,000 residents.
