The Wadi at a glance.
The Wadi is a 3,950-home, AED 6 billion masterplan on Yas Canal, Abu Dhabi, launched on 18 September 2026 by Cosmo Developments, a Flag Holding Group and Reportage Group joint venture. Brokers quote prices from AED 750,000 for a studio and handover in Q4 2029, but the developer has published neither.
What to check
- No developer price list, plan or handover date yet, and the two broker versions contradict each other.
- The AED 750,000 studio is priced well below the rest of the range and is probably a small allocation.
- The canal-side site is a drive from the Yas leisure core, not a walk.
Best suited to
- Investors buying for capital growth over the build.
- First-time buyers entering the market.

Our view on The Wadi.
Worth registering interest in for the masterplan design, but not worth paying against yet. Wait for the developer's own price list, the payment plan in the reservation form and a building-level completion date.
+What we like
- A genuinely pedestrian-first plan: parking underground, a 6 km running route and a central valley.
- A large, well-capitalised masterplan with a marina and hotel, not a single tower.
- Broker entry prices below most Yas Island launches.
–What to weigh
- No developer price list, plan or handover date yet, and the two broker versions contradict each other.
- The AED 750,000 studio is priced well below the rest of the range and is probably a small allocation.
- The canal-side site is a drive from the Yas leisure core, not a walk.
- Brand (Reportage) and launching entity (Cosmo Developments) differ; check the contract name.

Where is The Wadi?
Along Yas Canal on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, according to the developer. Some brokers label the location Al Raha. The developer quotes about five minutes to Zayed International Airport and nine to Ferrari World.
What is the starting price of The Wadi?
Brokers quote from AED 750,000 for a studio of about 380 sq ft. The developer has not published a price list, and the studio is priced well below the other types, so the typical entry is closer to AED 1.9 to 2 million for a one bedroom.
