BAYN's residences span townhouses and villas, with additional property types to follow, alongside Y Views: a boutique collection of three- to eight-bedroom luxury villas starting from AED 6.5 million. The 3-4 bedroom villas each have 4 bathrooms and 3 parking spaces, on plots of 3,875-6,143 sq ft with saleable areas of 2,441-3,116 sq ft, per the developer's floor plans; the collection's larger units go up to plots of 31,000 sq ft. The community is planned around a 1.2km beach and five-star resort, a 204-berth marina, a business park, schools, healthcare facilities and a sports club, set within 55% open space.
Y Views is currently at EOI stage through betterhomes, one of the top real estate companies in Dubai, with availability open to the general public after the 25th of August 2026.
Pricing and payment plan
Y Views villas start from AED 6.5 million, with a 60/40 payment plan, a 10% reservation deposit, a further 10% within two months of booking, 40% during construction, and the remaining 40% due at handover in the fourth quarter of 2029.
Location and connectivity
BAYN sits on the Ghantoot corridor, the stretch of coastline that has long served as the geographic bridge connecting the UAE's two largest economies. Where most new waterfront communities compete for attention within a single emirate, BAYN sits between the two, roughly 35 minutes from Downtown Dubai and 45 minutes from Abu Dhabi Corniche, making the corridor itself, as much as any single amenity, central to why this launch is generating attention.
The location has direct road access via Sheikh Zayed Road (E11), Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Road and Mohamed Bin Zayed Road, connecting the community to both emirates' business districts and international airports.

What this means for buyers
betterhomes has been selected to manage the upcoming release of Y Views. Buyers who register their interest with our team ahead of the 25 August launch will receive early access to available units before the wider market.
Beyond access, Y Views' design is a genuine point of difference: every villa is arranged so each bedroom faces the sea or a waterway, a configuration with few, direct comparisons on the Ghantoot corridor. Combined with BAYN's scale, that is, 4.8 million sq m, a 204-berth marina and 55% open space, and its position as the connection between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, Y Views gives early buyers a chance to secure a position in one of the largest masterplans in the area.
