Ohana Development has launched Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana, a USD four point one bn (USD 4.1 bn) gated waterfront community on Yas Canal in Abu Dhabi and the first branded residential project by Manchester City Football Club worldwide. The development occupies a prime waterfront position adjacent to Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi.

The launch took place at Etihad Park with the developer's chief executive officer and chief operating officer and the chief executive officer of City Football Group in attendance. The Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre announced the digitisation of expressions of interest and booking processes for off-plan purchases through its Madhmoun platform. Registrations will operate under ADREC supervision with mandatory escrow management to strengthen investor protection, transparency and governance.

The masterplan covers one point six seven million square metres (1.67 mn square metres) and will provide over 2000 residential units across multiple typologies. The scheme includes six villa clusters dedicated to four- and five-bedroom villas and twin villas, as well as maisonettes, waterfront penthouses and apartments. Average prices for standalone villas are USD one point nine mn (USD 1.9 mn). Completion of the project is scheduled for 2029.

At the project's core is an integrated Manchester City Academy with elite training and recovery facilities modelled on the club's player development approach, and a waterfront promenade that will host curated retail, dining and lifestyle destinations. Additional amenities include a Match Day Terrace, a City Lounge, a marina sports club with kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing and resort-style facilities, while more than 55 per cent of the masterplan is allocated to landscaped gardens and green spaces. The masterplan also incorporates education and healthcare infrastructure and the developer indicated the project underscores a long-term commitment to Abu Dhabi and its global ambitions.
