Developed by Aldar Properties
Lea is part of Yas Acres, an expansive residential project by Aldar Properties, one of Abu Dhabi’s leading developers. This waterfront community focuses on providing villa plots for custom development along the northern shoreline of Yas Island, allowing buyers to design residences to suit their preferences.
With 238 plots, residents are given creative freedom and nature-inspired settings to build homes with modern, flexible layouts. Additionally, a limited number of ready-to-move-in villas are available, offering high-end interiors, private gardens, and pools.
Each home in Lea is designed with family living in mind, benefiting from the wider Yas Acres infrastructure that includes landscaped gardens, shaded walkways, and open communal spaces. The project connects effortlessly to Abu Dhabi via E12, making it a peaceful retreat close to major urban centres.
The development caters to both end-users and investors, thanks to its flexible 40/60 payment plan and prime island location. Proximity to schools, healthcare centres, shopping malls, and leisure destinations makes it an ideal choice for long-term family living.
