Yas Island
Waldorf Astoria Residences Yas
The residences
- The name licensed to this project and carried on the building. A brand is not a company: it holds no title, builds nothing and runs nothing.
- Waldorf Astoria
- The business the brand comes from — hotel, fashion, design, automotive, restaurant, club, or a developer’s own name.
- Hotel
- How many separately titled homes this project sells, counting every kind it sells. Where it sells more than one kind, each is named and its own count given.
- 133
- The kinds of home offered — villas, condos, penthouses, lots — and how they break down. Not how many, and not what interest is sold.
- 1–3BR apartments, duplexes and 4BR penthouses
- Whether a hotel shares the site, the building is mixed-use, or it is residences only.
- Residences only, no hotel
- When its residences were first released for sale.
- May 2025
- When ground was broken on the site.
- No opened page reports vertical construction. The developer's release of 26 May 2025 records the residences sold out on launch day and states nothing about work on site.

Who is behind it
- The company that runs properties under this project’s brand and sets the standards carried under it. It need not own the name — who owns it is the brand licensor.
- Hilton
- The party that promotes the project and carries it through to delivery. May also hold title to part of it — being one does not make it the other.
- Aldar Properties
- The party the brand name was licensed to for this project. A contract for a name — it carries no title and no duty to run the property.
- not foundThe trademark notice states that a licensee uses the Waldorf Astoria brand under a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence from Hilton, and does not name that licensee.

How this project is structuredAldar Properties is developing the residences alongside Yas Links Golf Course.

No opened page names a landowning entity or a company running the residences.
