Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana Development has opened Phase 2 on Yas Canal in Abu Dhabi. Townhouses start from AED 3.6 million, and buyers pay 25% of the price before handover.
Phase 1 launched in March 2026. According to Ohana, it sold USD 1.63 billion of homes in 72 hours, around AED 6 billion. Construction started in September 2026, and Ohana opened an Experience Centre for buyers at the same time.
This is the first residential project in the world to carry the Manchester City brand. Ohana Development is building it with City Football Group, which owns the club.
The community covers 1.67 million square metres along Yas Canal, next to Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi. Ohana values the project at AED 15 billion, or around USD 4.1 billion.
The masterplan has more than 2,000 homes. About 1,500 of them are villas and townhouses, and the rest are apartments, waterfront penthouses and maisonettes. Ohana is building the community in phases and plans to complete it by 2029.
Phase 2 has 2- and 3-bedroom townhouses, a 3-bedroom duplex, and 4- and 5-bedroom villas. Each home comes with a private garden.
Homes range from 180 to 454 square metres, on plots of 190 to 600 square metres. The 4- and 5-bedroom villas have a private pool.
Prices start from AED 3.6 million for a 2-bedroom townhouse.
Ohana offers three payment plans for Phase 2. In all three, most of the price is due on handover.
25/75 with a 2% rebate, open to all buyers. You pay 10% when you sign the sale and purchase agreement (SPA) and 15% by 15 February 2027. The remaining 75% is due on completion.
30/70 for UAE nationals. You pay 5% on signing, then 5% every six months from February 2027 to January 2029. The remaining 70% is due on completion.
35/65 for all other buyers. You pay 5% on signing, then 5% every six months from February 2027 to July 2029. The remaining 65% is due on completion.
Here is how the 25/75 plan works for a townhouse at AED 3.6 million. You pay AED 900,000 by February 2027, and the remaining AED 2.7 million on handover.
Many of the amenities are linked to Manchester City. The community will have a Manchester City training academy with football pitches, a City Lounge, and a space about the club's history with a trophy gallery. On match days, residents can watch games from the Match Day Terrace and the City Social Club.
On the water, there will be a crystal lagoon and a marina sports club for kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing. A promenade with shops and cafés will run along the canal.
The wellness area includes a hydrotherapy circuit, cryotherapy and infrared suites, an oxygen therapy room, a spa and sauna, and an altitude and heat training room.
The masterplan also includes a mosque, a school, a medical centre and a community hub.
A 500,000 square metre park sits in the centre of the community, covering about 30% of the land. It has sports areas, family zones and quiet green spaces.
According to Ohana, more than 55% of the masterplan will be gardens and landscaped areas. This figure includes the park, the private gardens and the green spaces between homes.
The community is on Yas Canal. Ohana's factsheet gives these travel times:
Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World, SeaWorld, Yas Mall and Yas Marina Circuit are already open on Yas Island.
Ohana Development has worked in real estate since 1987. According to the company, it has delivered more than 9,000 homes and has more than 50 projects worldwide, and around 3,000 families live in its communities.
Its other projects in Abu Dhabi include Jacob & Co. Beachfront Living, Elie Saab Waterfront and Ohana by the Sea.
Bookings for Manchester City Yas Residences go through Madhmoun, the platform of the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC). Buyer payments are held in an escrow account under ADREC supervision.
The project suits families who want a house with a garden near the Yas Island attractions, 10-15 minutes from the airport. It also suits Manchester City fans who want a home with access to the club's academy and amenities.
For investors, the payment plan is the main point. On the 25/75 plan, a townhouse at AED 3.6 million needs AED 900,000 before handover, and the rest is due when the home is ready in 2029.
Before you choose a unit, compare the layouts, where each cluster sits in the masterplan, and the handover date for that cluster. Ask about service charges for your home type as well. The units on sale and their prices change while Phase 2 is selling.
