About the Project
The Canopies is the first residential community to launch at Yas Point steps from the beach and legendary Yas Island's theme parks. Buyers enter a AED 6 billion destination before its beach, promenade, marina, hotel and school are delivered — the infrastructure that shapes value in any new masterplan. Six mid-rise buildings hold 592 apartments across more than 10,000 sqm of landscaped open space, with the layout built around Central Park so that every residence looks onto greenery. Aldar has been developing Yas Island since 2006; Yas Point is its northern chapter.

Location
Yas Point, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi
The Canopies is planned around its greenery. More than 10,000 sqm of landscaped open space runs between all six blocks — shaded pathways, gardens, outdoor wellness areas and social spaces — with Central Park at the centre of the layout, so a green outlook sits a few steps from every door. The amenities carry their own names rather than generic labels: The Canopy Club, The Hub, The Puddles, The Clearing, The Retreat. Beyond the community, the wider Yas Point masterplan brings the first beach and a 700-metre promenade to the island's northern shore.
The Canopies offers 592 apartments across six mid-rise buildings, from 495 to 1 981 sqft (46 to 184 sqm). Studios (156 units), one-bedroom apartments (130 units), two-bedroom layouts (188 units), and 2BR + maid configuration (72 units). The largest homes are 3BR + maid + study residences (46 units).

On Handover
The Canopies is the first release within a 600,000 sqm masterplan planned for around 1,600 homes and 5,000 residents, so its 592 apartments represent a limited share of the destination. Abu Dhabi apartment prices rose 17.3% year-on-year to AED 1,296 per sq ft in Q2 2025, according to Knight Frank's Abu Dhabi Residential Market Review. Yas Island draws year-round rental demand from the aviation and hospitality workforce, long-stay professionals and visitors to its theme parks, Yas Marina Circuit and Etihad Arena, with the Formula 1 weekend and major concerts driving seasonal peaks. Studios and one-bedroom apartments — the formats best suited to that demand — account for 286 of the 592 units.
