Ohana Development has partnered with Manchester City to launch Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana, a first-of-its-kind Manchester City club-branded residential destination.
The project was launched at Etihad Park in Abu Dhabi, in the presence of Husein Salem, CEO, and Mustafa El Sammak, COO of Ohana Development as well as Ferran Soriano, CEO of City Football Group.
During the event, the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre announced the digitisation of Expressions of Interest and booking processes for off-plan purchases through its Madhmoun platform, introducing a new regulated framework in Abu Dhabi.
Registrations will operate under ADREC’s direct supervision with mandatory escrow management, strengthening investor protection, transparency and governance.
The development will be set along Abu Dhabi’s Yas Canal waterfront and spans 1.67 million sqm. Further details will be revealed as the project progresses.
Ohana Development, which will design and develop the development, is renowned for collaborating with leading brands across culture, harnessing their appeal into high-end residential environments that reflect Ohana’s luxury-led design ethos, with the Manchester City brand integrated throughout the development.
Through this project, Ohana will leverage Manchester City’s unmatched presence in Abu Dhabi.
“Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana brings this shared vision to life through a thoughtfully curated residential project, one that is set to become a lasting legacy within the real estate sector.
“Partnering with Manchester City marks a significant milestone for Ohana Development and reflects our long-standing commitment to Abu Dhabi, where we are proudly headquartered.
“The club’s global stature, forward-looking vision, and modern outlook closely align with our ambition to create future-ready communities that contribute to the emirate’s evolving lifestyle landscape.”
Husein Salem, CEO, Ohana Development
At the project’s core is an integrated Manchester City Academy, with elite training and recovery facilities aligned with the club’s approach to player development.
A waterfront promenade along the canal brings together curated retail, dining and lifestyle destinations, including the City Café. Additionally, the project features the Match Day Terrace, the City Lounge, and immersive experiences that celebrate the club’s history.
A marina sports club and water sports facilities offer kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing, complemented by resort-style amenities such as advanced fitness centres and infinity pools. Over 55% of the masterplan is dedicated to landscaped gardens and green spaces.
The masterplan also integrates essential community infrastructure, including education and healthcare services.
