The Canopies Sanctuary
A new perspective on parkside living at Yas Point
Three buildings set around a park of roughly 11,000 square metres, in Aldar's new Yas Point neighbourhood. Most of the 388 or so homes are planned to look onto the trees.
About the project
The Canopies Sanctuary is the newest residential release by Aldar Properties at Yas Point, on the western edge of Yas Island. The mix runs from studios to three bedrooms, so it works for a first purchase as well as a family move.
Official prices and floor plans haven't been published yet. We're keeping this site to what has been reported, and we update it as soon as Aldar releases the details. Sizes and prices are on the apartments page; the neighbourhood is covered in our Yas Point guide.

Why The Canopies Sanctuary
It's an Aldar project
Aldar built much of what already works on Yas Island, and sells and hands over its own projects.
The park comes first
The buildings are arranged around the green rather than a road. That shapes the view from most balconies.
A useful range of sizes
Studios for renters and first-time buyers, up to three bedrooms for families who need the space.
Yas Point is new
Buying early in a planned neighbourhood means the parks and streets are designed together, by one developer.
The rest of the island
Yas Mall, Yas Bay, the golf links and the theme parks are all on the same island.
Freehold for everyone
Yas Island is an investment zone, so overseas buyers can own outright.

Built for shade
In the renders, the facades are a warm terracotta with curved balconies cut deep into the building. That depth is practical: it keeps the afternoon sun off the glass and gives each home a usable outdoor room.
The lobby carries the same idea indoors. Timber shelving, woven fabrics and a wall of glass onto the garden. It reads more like a hotel lounge than a corridor to the lifts.
A park in the middle, not at the edge
Lawns, footpaths, play areas and courtyard games fill the space between the three buildings. In the evening the courtyard lights up and the café terraces fill.

A quieter side of Yas Island
Most people know Yas for race weekends and theme parks. Yas Point is Aldar's residential answer: mid-rise buildings, tree-lined streets and open space, with the coast and Yas Links golf course next door.
More on the masterplan →The honest version
Nobody can promise you a return on an off-plan apartment, and we won't. Here is what we can tell you.
Ownership is freehold and open to all nationalities, because Yas Island is a designated investment zone. Buyers paying above the government threshold may be eligible for a UAE residency visa, subject to the rules at the time.
Payments are usually staged across construction, so you aren't paying the full price years before handover. Rental demand on Yas comes from people working at the island's venues, offices and nearby universities. It varies, and we'll show you real numbers rather than projections.
The Canopies Sanctuary payment plan
Aldar hasn't published the split yet. We'll put the real percentages here once it does.
