Ohana Development has launched Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana, a four point one billion (bn) US dollars gated waterfront community on Yas Canal in Abu Dhabi and the first globally branded residential project by Manchester City Football Club. The launch took place at Etihad Park and was attended by Husein Salem, chief executive officer, and Mustafa El Sammak, chief operating officer, of Ohana Development, alongside Ferran Soriano, chief executive officer of City Football Group. The development reflects a strategic partnership between the developer and the club.

The masterplan covers one point six seven million (mn) square metres and proposes over 2,000 residential units, including six villa clusters of four- and five-bedroom villas and twin villas, maisonettes, waterfront penthouses and apartments. Average prices for standalone villas are one point nine million (mn) US dollars. The project will sit adjacent to Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi within a district that the developer described as one of the capital's most vibrant. Completion is scheduled for 2029.

At the project core, an integrated Manchester City Academy will provide elite training and recovery facilities aligned with the club's player development approach and will be complemented by resort-standard amenities. A waterfront promenade along Yas Canal will bring curated retail, dining and lifestyle destinations, including a City Cafe, alongside bespoke fan experiences such as the Match Day Terrace and the City Lounge. A marina sports club and water sports facilities will offer kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing.

Over 55 per cent of the masterplan is dedicated to landscaped gardens and green spaces, and the scheme includes education and healthcare infrastructure to support resident communities. The Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre announced digitisation of expressions of interest and booking processes for off-plan purchases through the Madhmoun platform, with registrations operating under ADREC supervision and mandatory escrow management to strengthen investor protection and governance. The developer said the project underscores its long-term dedication to Abu Dhabi and its ambition to contribute to the emirate's global prominence through thoughtfully designed, future-ready communities.
