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.
