Feb 10, 2026NORD Introduces Novayas: Premium Living on Yas Island
Novayas is a mixed-use Development by NORD Real Estate in the heart of Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. This AED 300 million project is part of the emirate’s real estate portfolio that combines modern architecture with lifestyle design. It includes 96 residential units with retail space for convenience, coupled with comfort.
Strategic Location Near Major Entertainment Destinations
Novayas is located 300 meters from Disney CEO Bob Iger’s planned Disneyland Abu Dhabi on Yas Island’s northern portion. The development is minutes from Ferrari World and other main attractions of this entertainment corridor. This proximity puts residents at the leisure, connectivity and urban convenience nexus. The location is good for both owner occupiers and investors, as access to Abu Dhabi city centre, and Dubai remains easy.
Diverse Unit Mix to Serve Various Lifestyle Needs
The project provides various residential options based on different requirements:
| Apartment Type | Size (Square Meters) + Features |
|---|---|
| Studio | 41 |
| 1-Bedroom | 75 |
| 2-Bedroom | 120 |
| 3-Bedroom | 305 + Maid room |
| 4-Bedroom Penthouse | Exclusive (on the eighth floor) + Maid room |
This range lets you pick units based on space or investment goals.
Competitive Pricing Structure & Flexible Payment Plan
Freehold ownership in Novayas starts at AED 1.25 million. It follows a 40:60 payment plan where 40% during construction and 60% on handover. This arrangement gives flexibility when compared with other Yas Island projects. The project has just 96 units, a boutique development as opposed to an apartment cluster. That little inventory sets Novayas apart from nearby developments that average 700 to 950 units.
Architecture & Design Philosophy
Novayas presents fluid forms with layered facades for maximum visual openness. With floor-to-ceiling glazing, interior/outdoor areas are linked by glass. Vast balconies extend living areas and overlook Disneyland and other attractions. The architectural approach focuses on natural light penetration via thoughtful facade design. Landscaped surroundings & pedestrian-friendly access make it a friendly residential atmosphere.
Interiors are functional with warmth. Light-filled rooms have neutral material palettes with timeless residential character. Efficient layouts serve contemporary lifestyles comfortably. The design philosophy is clear but pragmatic.
Resort Style Amenities Designed For Daily Life
The development provides all facilities needed for a successful development:
- Adult and children’s swimming pools
- Fully-equipped fitness center
- Outdoor cinema for community gatherings
- Children’s play area
- Dedicated parking with electric vehicle charging stations
All these amenities reinforce the emphasis on everyday comfort and quality of life.
Investment Opportunity in an Emerging Entertainment City
CEO Maher Rahabi said Novayas is emerging on Yas Island as a lifestyle destination. Nearness to Disneyland means extraordinary experiences become part of everyday life. The development targets end users wanting refined living and investors wanting well-positioned residential assets. NORD previously launched Henge Residences at AED 1.9m for one-bedroom units in Saadiyahat Cultural District and is currently over AED 2.2m during construction. This appreciation pattern indicates healthy market performance for NORD developments.
Timeline of Project & Delivery Schedule
Novayas is set for delivery in June 2029, giving buyers a definitive timeline for financial planning and moving in. That timeframe also corresponds to a broader development cycle on Yas Island as infrastructure expands to accommodate new attractions. The structured construction period gives investors certainty over rental strategies.
In Novayas, NORD is delivering value-driven communities in Abu Dhabi. Combining boutique inventory, a strategic position near Disneyland, competitive pricing, and flexible payment terms marks this as an exciting development in the Yas Island market.
