Taraf, the real estate division of UAE-based Yas Holding, and Steppe, a Singapore-based investment vehicle, have signed an agreement through their joint venture with Marriott International to launch JW Marriott Residences Abu Dhabi, Yas Island.
The development will occupy a beachfront location alongside a golf course, with access to Yas Island’s leisure and entertainment destinations, including Yas Marina, Yas Mall and Yas Marina Circuit. The island is approximately 15 minutes by road from Zayed International Airport and 30 minutes from central Abu Dhabi.
Low Ping, Group CEO of Yas Holding, said, “Our objective is to ensure JW Marriott’s philosophy is integrated throughout the design and experience of the project. At Taraf, we are focused on translating that philosophy into a distinctive residential experience, from the relationship with nature and light to thoughtfully considered spaces for wellbeing and connection, while bringing the design ethos and meticulous attention to detail that define our developments.”
The project’s architecture and interiors draw inspiration from Abu Dhabi’s landscape, light, craftsmanship and heritage, incorporating natural materials and contemporary design. The residences are designed to promote wellbeing and connection with nature.
Jaidev Menezes, Regional Vice President – Mixed-Use Development, EMEA at Marriott International, said, “JW Marriott Residences extends the brand’s approach to thoughtful hospitality beyond a stay and into everyday life. This marks our second collaboration with Taraf, following the sold-out W Residences Abu Dhabi – Al Maryah Island. With Abu Dhabi’s first JW Marriott Residences, owners can expect a distinctive lifestyle shaped by genuine service, curated amenities and meaningful opportunities for connection, all designed to support wellbeing and enrich everyday living.”
Amenities will include a residents’ lounge, fitness centre, steam and sauna facilities, treatment and relaxation spaces, meeting rooms, a golf simulator, games area, media room, children’s activity area and guest suites.
Cem Habib, Steppe Capital Board Member, said, “This location brings together two of Yas Island's defining landscapes: the blue of the waterfront and the green of the fairways. Combined with its proximity to the wider experiences of the island, it creates an exceptional setting for residential living.”
