With the launch of the second phase we are confident that Yas Acres will be the next successful chapter in the Yas Island story which to date includes residential launches for West Yas, Ansam and Mayan. A major focus for us is to deliver products that suit the current and future needs of the Emirate, and the feedback so far indicates that Yas Acres is a good fit for the market.

It will benefit from proximity to great amenities both within the development and on the rest of Yas Island, a core component of Aldar's destination development strategy."
