Project with 5 Pearl rating

A project linked to YAS Island, The Sustainable City Yas Island, was described as the first project in the UAE to receive an Estidama 5 Pearl rating. Estidama is the UAE’s green building rating system, and 5 Pearl is its highest level. The project was presented as a residential community built around environmental, social, and economic sustainability. It also included a car-free cluster design, which reduces reliance on cars and can lower transport emissions.

Solar and water systems used

The project page says the community uses solar panels on rooftops and parking structures to generate power. It also uses smart irrigation, greywater recycling, and hydroponic food production. Hydroponics means growing plants in water instead of soil. The page says these systems help cut water use and support a more efficient local energy and water setup.

Biodiversity-focused design

The development includes a green spine with 30% native plants and 70% adaptive species. Native plants are local species that already grow well in the area, while adaptive species can cope with local conditions. The page says this design supports biodiversity and creates connected natural corridors. That suggests the project tries to make the site work better for wildlife as well as people.
