Off Plan Projects in Fay Hills

Fay Hills is currently one of the most talked-about projects in Abu Dhabi, located in Masdar City the property trends here are quite different from traditional luxury developments.

Here is a look at the current property trends for Fay Hills:

High Demand for “Future-Proof” Homes

Investors and home buyers are moving away from traditional builds and toward “future-proof” sustainable homes. In Fay Hills, the trend is driven by buyers looking for lower long-term costs. Because these villas use 40% less energy and water, they are seen as a smarter financial investment in a world of rising utility prices.

Strong Capital Appreciation

Since Fay Hills is a freehold zone open to all nationalities, it has attracted a massive wave of international interest. Early buyers here are already seeing potential for capital growth. In Masdar City, property values tend to rise steadily because the area has a “limited supply” of villas compared to the high number of apartments.

The “Wellness Premium”

There is a growing trend of buyers willing to pay a “wellness premium.” People aren’t just buying a house; they are buying the microclimate, the shaded walkable streets and the signature parks. This shift toward health-centric living has made Fay Hills a top choice for “end-users” people who plan to live in the homes rather than just flip them.

Competitive Pricing & Yields

While luxury villas in areas like Saadiyat Island can reach much higher price points, Fay Hills offers a “sustainable luxury” entry point.

Launch Prices: Design-led 4-bedroom villas typically start around AED 4.9 Million.
Rental Yields: In Masdar City, rental yields remain strong, often ranging between 6% and 7%, as eco-conscious professionals and tech workers prefer living in a district that matches their values.
Shift Toward Larger Family Units

The launch of 4 to 6 bedroom villas in Fay Hills highlights a trend where families are moving out of downtown Abu Dhabi and into the “new suburbs.” With the proximity to Abu Dhabi International Airport and Yas Island, Fay Hills is becoming a preferred hub for high-income expats who want space and privacy without a long commute.

Master Plan of Fay Hills

The masterplan for Fay Hills is a sprawling 153-acre residential development designed to be the green heart of Masdar City. It is a joint venture between Taraf (the real estate wing of Yas Holding) and Masdar City, focused on creating a community where human well-being and environmental sustainability are built into the very layout of the neighborhood.

The masterplan is structured around several core pillars:

Four Interconnected Villages

Fay Hills is not just one large block of houses; it is thoughtfully divided into four residential villages. Each village is designed to have its own unique personality while remaining connected to the others through a network of “green fingers”—shaded walkways and landscaped corridors. The first phase of this masterplan is Fay Gardens, which covers approximately 33 acres.

The “Green Spine” and Signature Parks

Central to the masterplan is a commitment to outdoor living. The community is anchored by three signature parks that serve as the focal points for the residents:

Terra Park: Focused on social interaction and community gatherings.
Aria Park: Designed for active lifestyles, featuring fitness zones and play areas.
Azura Park: A serene space intended for quiet reflection and relaxation.

Walkability and Connectivity

The layout prioritizes pedestrians over cars. Shaded green walkways and cycling routes run throughout the community, ensuring that residents are never more than a few minutes’ walk from nature or community facilities. This “active travel” network also connects directly to Al Masar Park, a massive 1.2-kilometer-long public space that borders the community, offering jogging tracks and extensive recreational amenities.

Passive Design and Microclimate

Unlike traditional developments, the Fay Hills masterplan uses the “Masdar City effect.” The orientation of the streets and the placement of the villas are engineered to capture natural breezes and provide maximum shade. This design, combined with wind-tower technology, creates a microclimate that is significantly cooler than the surrounding desert, making it comfortable to be outdoors for more months of the year.

Community Hubs

The masterplan includes a central community clubhouse, which acts as a social anchor. It features a resort-style swimming pool, indoor and outdoor gyms, yoga pavilions, and wellness zones such as sound-healing spaces and meditation gardens. This ensures that every residential cluster has easy access to premium lifestyle facilities.

Facilities & Services**

The facilities and services at Fay Hills are designed to go beyond standard residential amenities, focusing heavily on the “Masdar City” philosophy of health, community, and ecological harmony.

Here is a breakdown of the premium services and facilities available to residents:

1. The Wellness Clubhouse
