Aldar has announced the launch of Waldorf Astoria, located on the prime plots next to Yas Links Golf Club and the F1 circuit, with views of both and the Arabian Gulf. After running through it with the team and offices, we found that the numbers have placed it at the very top of our recommendation list for the GCC Investment community.
As of today, we can now book units on the VIP Pre-Sale, and you can secure the best units on request.
Here are some of the details we have considered when advising investors on the immense benefits of the investment.
Disney Land launch, the recently announced Disney Land park, the first since Shanghai, places WA at the heart of the location. Historical data from every region shows a substantial price spike in proximity to Disney Land Resorts through appreciation and Yields.
ONLY branded residence currently on Yas Island. With its beautiful towers, Aldar has dominated the residential scene on Yas Island. WA is the first branded residence to launch and will appreciate considerably throughout the build period.
Power of Branded Residences – The highest appreciating assets in the GCC have been branded residences, which carry a weight worldwide regarding resale and stability. Whether it is Six Senses on the Palm, Royal Atlantis, One Zabeel, Palace, Address, W, or Waldorf Astoria, the buying power of these brands resonates across the world and provides investors the ultimate in appreciation machines.
Just 133 Units – When planning an exit strategy, having a strong, scarce product with minimal competition is paramount. When re-selling, you will only ever be in the market with a small handful of available options.
Gulf, Golf, and F1 views—These are the three best views you could ever wish to have. They all suit different preferences and will appeal to various market buyers.
Short Term Rental Powerhouse – WA is next door to the F1, Ferrari World, Yas Links, and Disney World, among other resorts in the GCC. HNW families looking to stay in the region will consider WA due to its level of facilities and amenities.
Facilities & Amenities—This will be the equivalent of living in a 5-star Luxury Hotel but with the added financial benefit of owning a residential unit. There will not be a project in Abu Dhabi that has the same level of service and financial scope combined.
Our Recommendation
Large 2-bedroom plus study unit on the VIP Pre-Sale:
AED 5,800,0000 – 6,200,000
60% paid during construction = AED 3,480,000 over the 3 years.
Appreciation during the build is 50% conservative, not including any market improvement on Yas Island.
At handover, you can finance based on the new valuation, take the amount you have placed in the unit back out, rent at an extremely high yield based on the OP, or have an exit strategy during the build process. Yas Island and the coming announcements will drive demand, prices, and attention into the region. Fundamentally, for 5.8m for a Wldorf Astroia 2 bedroom plus study opposite the F1 and on one of the top golf courses in the world, it is just a very undervalued product. No one can predict the future, as you know, but having clear fundamentals in the decision process can help place you in the best possible position from the moment you purchase.
We currently have VIP Pre-Sale access, with the global launch next week.
Waldorf Astoria – Yas Isalnd
The development features floor-to-ceiling windows that frame spectacular views of Yas Links, F1, and the Arabian Gulf.
The large, fully furnished units will provide investors with one of the best investments in the GCC. Luxury-branded residences currently dominate the local market, and Waldorf Astoria is at the very pinnacle. For just over 5m AED, you can secure a 2-bedroom with the best amenities and services throughout Yas Island.
This is an elite project with appreciation forecasts that are some of the highest anywhere. If you are interested, WhatsApp +447595715264, and we will share the full details straight away.

Massive Influx of Visitors: A Disneyland would dramatically increase tourist arrivals from across the GCC, Asia, and even Europe. Expect millions of additional visitors annually.
Extended Stays: Tourists are likely to spend more time in Abu Dhabi, especially families, which boosts spending across hospitality, retail, and F&B sectors.

Franchise and Retail Expansion: Global and regional brands will aim to establish a presence near or within the entertainment district.

Commercial:
Retail Space Surge: Malls, outlets, and themed retail clusters will pop up around the development.
Office Demand: Back-office functions for tourism, hospitality, and entertainment support businesses will drive commercial space needs.
On the back of the sell out of the first Trump Tower in the GCC. We take a closer look at the investment potential of Jeddah – Saudi Arabia
Off Plan Dubai capped off 2024 and entered 2025 with over 50m SAR of investments placed into the Trump Tower Jeddah. It was the first property launch in Jeddah, which was freehold and open to foreign investment. Many factors are at play as to why so many institutions, private/family offices and HNW investors consider Jeddah an investment hotspot and why it is a vital addition for any diverse property portfolio over the next 20 years.
Firstly, Dar Global is leaving a trail the world over. Whether it is Lamborghini Villas in Marbella, Cliff Top mountain apartments in Oman, or Elie Saab apartments in Qatar, it’s a real estate trailblazer that is difficult to ignore. They currently have 9BN under assets, with growth expansions in the Kingdom at the very forefront of the next phase of global expansion. Early 2024, we got a glimpse of their alignment with the Trump organisation, leading to the first Trump Tower to enter the GCC in Q4 of 2024. Fast forward to early 2025 and we are now at a full capacity sell out.
So why Jeddah?
Booming Real Estate Market – Jeddah is developing significantly, with new residential, commercial, and tourism projects boosting property values.
Strategic Location: As the gateway to Mecca and a major Red Sea port, Jeddah benefits from strong business and tourism traffic.
Vision 2030 Development: Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification plan drives infrastructure improvements and increases demand for high-quality properties.
Growing Tourism & Hospitality Sector: Jeddah hosts international events and attracts religious and leisure tourists, expanding short-term rental opportunities.
Diverse Property Options: Whether looking for high-end apartments, villas, or commercial properties, Jeddah offers many choices.
Infrastructure & Lifestyle Improvements: New metro projects, luxury malls, and waterfront developments (like Jeddah Central) make the city increasingly attractive.
High Rental Yields: Rental demand is strong, especially in central and waterfront areas, providing good returns on investment.
Jeddah fits into the Kingdom’s 2030 vision, which you will hear anytime you speak to a Saudi national or enter the country. They are extremely proud of this vision and strive to achieve it at a breakneck pace.
Vision 2030 is a strategic framework to reduce the country’s dependence on oil, diversify the economy, and enhance public services. The vision centers around three main pillars:
1. A Vibrant Society
This pillar focuses on improving quality of life, cultural and entertainment opportunities, and national identity. Key aspects include:
Developing the tourism sector, including NEOM, Red Sea Project, and Qiddiya
Expanding cultural and entertainment venues
Preserving Saudi heritage and historical sites
Enhancing healthcare and education
2. A Thriving Economy
Many factors will influence a dynamic and diversified economy:
Increasing private sector contribution
Encouraging foreign direct investment (FDI)
Supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs)
Boosting local content in industries
Enhancing financial markets.
3. Developing National Services through unrivaled Ambition
This pillar focuses on governance, transparency, and efficiency in the public sector. Key initiatives include:
Digital transformation of government services
Improving legal and regulatory frameworks
Strengthening national identity and civic engagement
The plan includes mega projects like NEOM, The Line, Diriyah Gate, and Jeddah Central, which aim to attract global investors. Given your interest in Jeddah’s real estate, Vision 2030 is expected to significantly boost property values through infrastructure and tourism development.
