Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana

Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana is a branded residential community on Yas Canal, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, developed by Ohana Developments in partnership with Manchester City Football Club. The project spans three buildings and nine residences in total, ranging from one-bedroom apartments to a 10,492 sq ft twenty-bedroom configuration, and is currently under construction.

# Three Buildings on the Yas Canal Waterfront

Yas Island has accumulated a considerable stock of leisure and hospitality infrastructure over the past decade, but residential supply on the canal itself remains limited. Ohana has positioned the community directly on Yas Canal, a waterfront address that offers open water views and pedestrian promenades without the density of the island's more commercialised zones.

The masterplan organises the three buildings around green corridors and communal outdoor space, with the architecture intended to reflect both the performance culture of Manchester City and the expectations of a premium Abu Dhabi address. More than half the site is reportedly allocated to landscaping, gardens and outdoor recreation rather than built footprint.

# Residences from One Bedroom to Twenty

The unit mix is unusually broad. One-bedroom apartments start at 807 sq ft, priced at AED 2,000,000. Two-bedroom homes run to 1,291 sq ft at AED 3,100,000. Three-bedroom layouts are offered at two scales: 1,883 sq ft at AED 4,450,000 and a larger 2,476 sq ft format at AED 4,750,000.

Four-bedroom residences account for the widest spread in the range. The 2,949 sq ft option is priced at AED 6,000,000, a 3,229 sq ft variant at AED 7,000,000, and a significantly larger 4,251 sq ft configuration at AED 11,000,000. Five-bedroom homes extend to 4,822 sq ft at AED 9,500,000.

# The Signature Twenty-Bedroom Residence

At the top of the range sits a single twenty-bedroom residence of 10,492 sq ft, priced at AED 29,500,000. It is an unusual product for the Abu Dhabi market and appears configured for a buyer with collective household requirements or an institutional-grade primary residence. Residences are delivered unfurnished.

# Amenities Built Around Recovery and Performance

The amenity programme draws directly from the club partnership rather than a generic hospitality checklist. An Oxygen Therapy Room, Hydrotherapy Circuit, Altitude and Heat Room, and a dedicated Recovery Pier sit alongside the standard Gym and Fitness Centre. These are facilities more commonly associated with professional training environments than residential schemes.

The food and beverage offer includes a Fine Dining Organic restaurant and The Cafe. Social and cultural spaces include a Skybox Lounge, Trophy Gallery, Heritage Centre and The Brand's Academy, the last of which functions as an on-site sports academy operating Manchester City coaching methodologies. Outdoor provision includes a rooftop pool, Sports Complex, and The Central Garden.

# Yas Island Connectivity and the Canal Setting

Yas Island's infrastructure is well established. Yas Marina Circuit, Yas Mall, Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World are all within short driving distance of the canal. Abu Dhabi International Airport is approximately a thirty-minute drive, and the highway network connects to Dubai in under ninety minutes.

The canal address itself provides a quieter residential grain within an island that can read as tourist-facing. Waterfront walkways and landscaped paths encourage pedestrian movement, which is not a given across all of Yas Island's residential pockets.

# Who This Development Is Suited To

The Manchester City branding is the defining variable here. For buyers with an existing connection to the club, whether as supporters, sponsors or those simply drawn to the cultural identity it represents globally, the integration goes beyond decorative signage. The academy, the Trophy Gallery and the performance-recovery amenities reflect an attempt to make the affiliation functional and daily.

The price points are accessible relative to comparable branded residential product in Dubai. A two-bedroom at AED 3,100,000 and a three-bedroom below AED 4,500,000 sit within reach of a buyer allocating part of a broader portfolio to the UAE rather than committing full capital. The Abu Dhabi market has shown sustained interest from European and South Asian buyers in recent years, and Yas Island specifically carries appeal for families who want leisure infrastructure within walking distance of home. With inventory now out of stock, resale and secondary market positioning will define the next chapter for buyers tracking this community.
