Stellar by Elie Saab: The "Couture" Asset Class on Yas Island
Most "luxury" apartments in Abu Dhabi are just standard units with a fancy lobby. Stellar by Elie Saab is different. This is Branded Real Estate.
Developed by Emirates Royal Development Company, this project brings the global weight of the Elie Saab fashion house to Yas Island. This isn't for the investor looking for a 5% yield on a budget studio. This is for the Trophy Hunter. You are buying "Brand Equity." In a market flooded with generic supplies, "Branded" is the only differentiator that guarantees a premium on resale.
The Asset: "Haute Couture Living"
Status: Off-Plan / Launch Phase.
Developer: Emirates Royal Development Company. Design: Elie Saab Maison (Interiors & Furniture) . Unit Types:
Apartments: 1, 2, & 3 Bedrooms.
Garden Villas: 3 & 4 Bedrooms (Ground floor duplexes with private pools).
Penthouses: 5 Bedroom Duplexes (The ultimate trophy asset).
Most developers give you white walls. Elie Saab gives you White Travertine, Bronzed Accents, and Oak.
Stellar by Elie Saab The Layouts: These aren't cramped boxes. The villas feature floor-to-ceiling glass facades that dissolve the boundary between indoor and outdoor living.
The Furniture: Common spaces are furnished with the Elie Saab Maison Collection, meaning your lobby looks like a Paris runway, not a hotel waiting room.
The Location: "Stellar by Elie Saab The Quiet Side of Yas"
You are located on the waterfront of Yas Island, specifically overlooking the Pearl Sea.
The Connectivity:
05 Mins: Hilton Yas Island & Etihad Arena.
10 Mins: Ferrari World & Yas Mall.
13 Mins: Zayed International Airport.
The Context: You are close enough to the F1 track to hear the engines if you want to, but secluded enough to enjoy the "Blue & Green" views of the sea and Crest Park.
The Amenities: "The Private Club"
You aren't just buying a pool; you are buying a lifestyle ecosystem.
The Pool: An expansive, round pool terrace designed with fluid lines that mimic the sea.
The Business: A dedicated Business Lounge and Conference Room furnished by Elie Saab. Deals are made here, not at Starbucks.
The Leisure: Indoor & Outdoor Cinema, Kids Lounge, and a Pickle Ball Court.
Final Verdict
If you want "cheap and cheerful," go to the mainland. If you want an asset that serves as a Store of Value—protected by the scarcity of the Elie Saab brand name—Stellar by Elie Saab is the only play.
Buy the Garden Villa if you hate elevators but want the tower amenities.
Buy the Penthouse if you want to own the skyline.
Don't buy square footage. Buy the label.
