Abu dhabi: Aldar announced today the launch of 450 townhomes exclusively for UAE nationals at the family-oriented Al Deem community, located northeast of Yas Island. Set to launch for sale on 12 September, the townhomes are thoughtfully designed to integrate contemporary living with traditional Emirati values.

According to Emirates News Agency, the development comprises three- and four-bedroom townhomes that prioritize space and comfort. Each unit features a majlis and multiple entrances to optimize privacy and convenience. The community includes 26 three-bedroom live-work homes, a first in the UAE, with commercial space on the ground floor and private living quarters above.

Situated within the wider Al Deem community, formerly known as Balghaiylam, the homes represent the seventh cluster in the masterplan. With more than 1,700 homes developed across the first six clusters under Abu Dhabi’s national housing programme in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Housing Authority, this launch offers a chance for Emirati buyers to own a home near loved ones who purchased in earlier phases.

Two new bridges will connect the community to Yas Island, providing direct access to entertainment, dining, and leisure activities, including Yas Mall, Yas Marina, Ferrari World, and Yas Waterworld. The location also allows a quick commute to Zayed International Airport and the rest of Abu Dhabi.
