NORTH YAS ISLAND

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

North Yas Phase II is a large-scale waterfront master-planned community on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE, designed by JZMK Partners to transform more than 420 acres into a walkable, mixed-use residential district. The plan integrates housing, parks, civic amenities, and waterfront destinations within a connected urban framework.

The development accommodates approximately 18,500 residential units, including villas, townhomes, and mid- to high-density apartments, organized into a series of interconnected neighborhoods. A comprehensive network of green corridors, parks, and pedestrian-friendly streets links each district, supporting accessibility and community interaction.

A 10-hectare central park anchors the plan, providing sports fields, shaded gathering areas, playgrounds, and event spaces tailored to the desert climate. Along the waterfront, a canal promenade and two marinas create vibrant destinations for recreation, dining, and leisure.

Together, these elements establish a resilient, waterfront urban community that supports the continued growth of Yas Island and the greater Abu Dhabi region.
