About Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas
All 133 homes at Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas sold out on launch day, 26 May 2025, generating AED 850 million in sales. Aldar's press release confirms this as the first-ever branded residential development on Yas Island, developed in partnership with Hilton under the Waldorf Astoria brand.
The iconic waterfront development brings the timeless elegance of the Waldorf Astoria hospitality brand to Yas Island, with architecture blending modern design and classical sophistication above the marina. Three buildings (B1, B2, and B3), each rising G+8, frame views toward Yas Links, the golf course, and Yas Marina Circuit.
The release covered one- to three-bedroom apartments, duplexes, and four-bedroom penthouses, all fully furnished with equipped kitchens. Primary sales from Aldar are closed, but this page records confirmed facts for buyers researching Yas Island's branded-residence track record.

Why it sold out
Aldar's launch-day buyer data shows strong international pull: 76% of buyers were international or expatriate, led by the United Kingdom and China, with 24% UAE nationals. Two thirds of buyers were under age 45, and 68% were first-time Aldar buyers.
That mix signals Yas Island's appeal to younger international buyers seeking a hospitality-branded address beside golf and circuit views, and Aldar's ability to bring a first-time-on-the-island Waldorf Astoria release to a complete sell-out on day one.

Design and residences

Sustainability targets include Estidama 3 Pearl rating and Fitwel 2-Star certification. Construction uses low-carbon materials with approximately 25% lower carbon than a conventional comparable building, plus approximately 35% greater energy efficiency and 45% greater water efficiency.
