Nine Yards

Nine Yards Real Estate Development is an Abu Dhabi-based developer formed through a partnership between EIH – Ethmar International Holding and Al Nahda International Holding. Its current development activity is centred on Sea La Vie, a 668-home waterfront project at Yas Bay. Oplus International Realty uses this profile to connect verified developer facts with projects tracked on our platform.

Nine Yards in Abu Dhabi

Nine Yards operates from Abu Dhabi and forms part of a wider property platform linked to EIH. The official Nine Yards Plus Holding portfolio identifies Nine Yards Real Estate Development as the development business established through the EIH and Al Nahda International Holding partnership.

The company’s current public development footprint is concentrated in Abu Dhabi rather than spread across multiple UAE cities.

That distinction matters for buyers. Older or third-party profiles can describe broader expansion ambitions, but a developer page should separate future plans from projects that can be verified today.

Sea La Vie Defines the Current Development Portfolio

Sea La Vie is located on the Yas Bay waterfront on Yas Island.

Construction information published by STRABAG identifies Nine Yards Real Estate Development as the client and confirms a development of 668 residences across four residential towers and 30 townhouses.

The towers are planned at between 16 and 18 floors. The development also includes retail space, parking and a central lagoon within a site covering approximately 30,000 square metres.

STRABAG reported that construction had begun and scheduled completion for the second quarter of 2027.

This current construction timetable should take precedence over older marketing pages that still show earlier completion dates.

What the 668 Homes Include

STRABAG’s project information separates the 668 residences into 638 apartments, maisonettes and lofts, plus 30 townhouses.

The project has a gross floor area of approximately 111,300 square metres and includes about 500 square metres of retail space.

This scale gives buyers a more useful reference than generic descriptions of the developer. Nine Yards is still building its visible delivery record, so Sea La Vie should be assessed primarily through project-level construction progress and contractual documentation.

Nine Yards and Nine Yards Plus Holding

Nine Yards Real Estate Development should not be confused with the entire Nine Yards Plus Holding platform.

Nine Yards Plus is the wider real estate arm of EIH and includes development, property management and related property businesses. Nine Yards Real Estate Development is the development company within that structure and is associated with the EIH and Al Nahda partnership.

In December 2023, Nine Yards Plus acquired an 80% stake in Abu Dhabi Commercial Properties. That transaction relates to the wider group’s property-management platform rather than the delivery record of Sea La Vie itself.

What Buyers Should Verify

Sea La Vie remains an off-plan development, so buyers should review the individual project rather than rely only on the Nine Yards corporate profile.

The checks should include project registration, escrow arrangements, construction progress, the contractual handover date and the payment schedule attached to the selected unit.

Older online material may show completion dates earlier than Q2 2027. STRABAG’s construction update provides a more recent project timetable, but the signed sale documentation remains the controlling reference for an individual buyer.

Unit pricing should also be checked against the latest permitted release. Historical launch prices should not be presented as current inventory without fresh verification.

Nine Yards Projects on Oplus

The project section on this page should show only Nine Yards developments that exist in the Oplus project database and are mapped to the correct developer taxonomy.

At present, Sea La Vie is the verified development that should anchor the Nine Yards profile.

Once its project record is created and connected correctly, the developer page can display project location, residential types, construction status and verified pricing without duplicating that data manually inside the About section.
