Hold onto your hats, because Aldar Properties just dropped a bombshell with the announcement of their master plan for Fahid Island, and it’s nothing short of jaw-dropping! With a whopping gross development value of over Dh40 billion (yes, billion with a “B”), this project is set to redefine waterfront living in the UAE.
Luxury Like You’ve Never Seen Before
So, what’s on the horizon for this 2.7 million square metre island, nestled between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island? A whole lot of luxury, that’s what! We’re talking more than 6,000 swanky residences, from sleek apartments and charming townhouses to ultra-luxury villas for the most discerning of residents. And if that wasn’t enough, expect not one, but two top-tier hotels to cater to every whim. Jonathan Emery, the CEO of Aldar Development, even teased that one of these hotels will be announced soon. Talk about a tease!
A Paradise for Wellness and Fitness
But wait, there’s more! Fahid Island, with its 11km coastline, is all about lifestyle. It’s got everything from pristine beaches to wellness corridors, complete with running tracks and cycling routes (all designed to keep you as fit as your Instagram selfies). Oh, and did we mention a 10km landscaped berm park? Yes, this island will literally be the picture of paradise. A vibrant promenade will offer a mix of retail, dining, and art experiences, while Coral Drive—aka the island’s chic retail boulevard—will feature boutique outlets, concept stores, cafes, art galleries, and even a ballet school. Just your average Tuesday, right?
Affordable Luxury? It’s All About Location
Now, we know what you’re thinking. “Sounds great, but is it affordable?” Well, the sales for the first residential development—Fahid Beach Residences—will kick off after the Eid holidays, with prices starting at a cool Dh3.5 million for a one-bedroom unit. So, if you’ve been saving up for that dream home (or just like to window shop luxury properties), now’s your chance!
Sustainability Meets Luxury Living
But hold onto your wallets, because this isn’t just about fancy homes. Fahid Island is also about sustainable living. With 30% of the space dedicated to natural areas, this project will be the UAE’s next benchmark in wellness and sustainable design. From cycling tracks connecting to Abu Dhabi’s loop to a gorgeous waterfront promenade, this island promises an eco-friendly yet luxurious lifestyle.
A Magical Investment Opportunity
And just when you thought things couldn’t get any more exciting, Aldar’s got an ace up its sleeve. The island will be home to an international school, making it perfect for families looking for a bit of paradise with a side of education. Plus, the arrival of a Disney theme park on Yas Island has already sparked a surge in property sales, and you can bet Fahid Island will see its fair share of interest from all over the globe.
Aldar’s Bold Vision for the Future
In a nutshell, Fahid Island is the kind of project that makes you want to pack your bags and move in immediately (if only the bank balance cooperated). With luxury living, top-tier amenities, sustainability, and a sprinkle of Disney magic, this is one project that’s going to have the world buzzing for years to come.
As for Aldar? They’re already planning their next move, with 12 more projects lined up for the year. So, if you’re ready to invest in the future of luxury living, keep your eyes peeled for all the exciting developments coming your way. After all, when you’ve got a track record like Aldar’s, the sky’s the limit!
