Aldar to develop new sustainable city project on Yas Island

Leading Abu Dhabi developer Aldar Properties is set to build a fully sustainable community on Yas Island in partnership with Diamond Developers, to cash in on the growing demand for eco-friendly living options. The Sustainable City – Yas Island will feature hundreds of condominiums and townhouses that will be powered by clean renewable energy and equipped with biodomes, solar panels and battery-charged communal vehicles to promote energy efficiency and lower emissions.  With a strong focus on enabling an active community, The Sustainably City – Yas Island will also be home to a range of communal facilities and amenities, including an equestrian centre with stables, a track and two arenas, a gym and multiple pools, cycling and jogging tracks, football, basketball and padel courts, retail and F&B outlets, a nursery, a centre for autism, and a green and sustainable mosque.

Dubbing it as a landmark project for Aldar, CEO Jonathan Emery said: "The project reflects our commitment to provide an increasingly diverse range of curated living experiences that its local and overseas customers tell us they want to live and invest in. This new community is a hugely powerful response to the strong demand we see for a more sustainable way of living, with the emergence of a more environmentally conscious customer group who seek a natural lifestyle experience that focuses on low carbon emissions, energy conservation, and the fundamental principles of a circular economy."
