Ohana Development has officially announced the launch of “Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana,” a luxury gated waterfront residential community valued at AED 15 billion (USD 4.1 billion), located along Yas Canal in Abu Dhabi.
The project represents the first collaboration of its kind between a real estate developer and Manchester City Football Club to deliver a branded residential development. The master plan spans a total area of 1.67 million square meters and features more than 2,000 residential units, including villas, duplex homes, waterfront penthouses, and standard apartments.
The development is scheduled for completion by 2029.
The community enjoys a strategic location on Yas Island near major attractions such as Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, enhancing its appeal as a distinctive long-term residential and investment destination.
This new development marks Manchester City’s entry into the UAE real estate sector through the creation of a luxury residential brand in the heart of Abu Dhabi, with a total estimated cost of approximately $4 billion.
The project emphasizes an active and sports-centric lifestyle, reflecting the identity of Manchester City through purpose-built amenities such as a fully integrated club training academy and state-of-the-art sports and recovery facilities.
The design also incorporates seamless connectivity to retail and leisure amenities via a dedicated waterfront promenade lined with retail outlets, restaurants, and cafés — including the City Café, a central venue inspired by the club’s culture. Exclusive spaces such as the Matchday Terrace and City Lounge further deliver a living experience that celebrates the club’s heritage and identity.
Additionally, the development will feature marine sports facilities, including kayaking and windsurfing, infinity swimming pools, and globally designed fitness clubs. More than 55% of the total area will be dedicated to landscaping and open green spaces.
Hussein Salem stated that the project reflects Ohana Development’s commitment to delivering pioneering developments that support Abu Dhabi’s future vision by creating sustainable, modern communities designed to meet evolving lifestyle needs.
The project will also include a fully integrated infrastructure comprising educational facilities and healthcare services to meet residents’ needs, combining luxury waterfront living with a fully integrated lifestyle in one of the world’s most vibrant and rapidly growing destinations.
