Aldar Records Over AED 5 Billion in Sales Across Talay and Yas Riva Reserve

Aldar has recorded more than AED 5 billion in property sales across two of its latest Abu Dhabi residential developments, highlighting continued demand for premium waterfront communities in the capital.

The sales were generated across Talay at Marsa Al Saadiyat and Yas Riva Reserve on Yas Island, with international and expatriate buyers playing a significant role in the performance of both developments.

According to Aldar, expatriate residents and overseas buyers represented 69% of total sales, while UAE nationals accounted for the remaining 31%.

The figures provide another indication of Abu Dhabi’s growing appeal among both local and international property buyers.

International Buyers Drive 69% of Sales

International demand featured prominently in the sales results, with buyers from the UAE, United Kingdom, Russia, Jordan and India among the leading nationalities by sales volume.

A significant proportion of purchasers were also new to Aldar. 54% of buyers were first-time Aldar customers, demonstrating the developer’s ability to attract a growing pool of new buyers.

The buyer profile also reflected strong participation from a younger demographic, with 55% of purchasers under the age of 45.

Male buyers represented 70% of sales, while female purchasers accounted for 30%.

Talay at Marsa Al Saadiyat

Talay represents the first residential community within Marsa Al Saadiyat, Aldar’s major new waterfront destination on Saadiyat Island.

The community forms part of the wider AED 100 billion Marsa Al Saadiyat development, which is set to activate the final phase of the Saadiyat Island masterplan.

Marsa Al Saadiyat is ultimately expected to accommodate more than 58,000 residents, further expanding the island’s residential offering alongside its established cultural, leisure and hospitality destinations.

Talay introduces a collection of standalone villas designed around waterfront living and access to the wider Marsa Al Saadiyat community.

Yas Riva Reserve on Yas Island

Yas Riva Reserve is a new gated waterfront villa community located on the northeastern side of Yas Island.

The development offers a collection of premium villas within a landscaped residential environment, with waterfront areas and amenities designed around family living.

A new bridge is also planned to provide an additional entry point to Yas Island, improving connectivity between the community and the island’s established attractions and amenities.

Abu Dhabi Waterfront Communities Continue to Attract Demand

The combined sales performance of Talay and Yas Riva Reserve highlights continued buyer interest in Abu Dhabi’s premium waterfront residential market, particularly across Saadiyat Island and Yas Island.

The strong participation of expatriate and overseas buyers also reflects the increasingly international profile of Abu Dhabi’s residential property market.

With 69% of sales coming from expatriate residents and overseas buyers and more than half of purchasers buying from Aldar for the first time, the results indicate a widening buyer base for new residential developments in the capital.

The AED 5 billion sales milestone further demonstrates continued demand for high-quality, master-planned communities as Abu Dhabi expands its residential offering across some of the emirate’s most prominent waterfront destinations.
