Why we feel Waldorf Astoria on Yas Island represents one of the best real estate investment opportunites in the GCC.

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.
