About Lea
Lea Build-to-Suit Villa Living
Lea is a low-density villa community on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, developed by Aldar Properties. The project comprises 84 units in total: 10 standalone luxury villas, 50 twin villas and 24 townhouses. The 60 villas sit on 60 individual plots and the 24 townhouses occupy 3 shared plots, giving buyers direct control over plot selection.
Rather than fixed floor plans, Lea offers a build-to-suit model across five plot types. Plot Type 1 starts at 405 sqm with a gross floor area of 283.5 sqm, scaling up through Type 2 (510 sqm plot, 357 sqm GFA), Type 3A (750 sqm plot, 525 sqm GFA), Type 3B (800 sqm plot, 560 sqm GFA), Type 4 (1,000 sqm plot, 700 sqm GFA) and Type 5, the largest at 1,800 sqm plot with 1,080 sqm GFA. Buyers choose the plot size and design their villa from the ground up.
Community Amenities
Residents have access to a community pool, indoor and outdoor gymnasiums, children's play areas, a waterfront promenade with an amphitheatre, and weekend markets with alfresco dining on the lawn. Two international schools within the community serve growing families.
Lea sits adjacent to Yas Acres, giving residents direct access to the Yas Acres Golf and Country Club, including a golf course, squash and tennis courts, a spa, swimming pools and a kids activity area.
Developer Track Record
Aldar Properties is one of the most established real estate developers in the UAE, with a portfolio spanning Yas Island and other master-planned communities in Abu Dhabi. The developer positions its projects around long-term community building rather than standalone construction, a philosophy reflected in Lea's plot-based, customisable villa format.
Investment Case
As a low-rise, low-density villa project inside an established master community, Lea appeals to end-users seeking a custom-built home on Yas Island rather than a standard developer-finished unit. The project is at the pre-construction stage, having started in July 2023, positioning early buyers to shape design choices ahead of construction.
