Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana

Who builds it, and whose name is on it

The developer is Ohana Development (also styled Ohana Real Estate Development). Manchester City / City Football Group is the brand licensor, not the developer. Official launch coverage is on Ohana’s own newsroom and on the project site.

Location

Official pages place the community on Yas Canal, Abu Dhabi. Some official news describes it as adjacent to Yas Island; the official project site also uses “on Yas Island” and lists “Yas Island / walking distance 5 min.” I keep both wordings visible rather than choosing the tidier one.

The official project site lists approximate times including Abu Dhabi International Airport 10–15 minutes and Dubai 50–60 minutes. Treat those as the developer’s published indications, not as a survey I have timed myself.

Scale and home types

Official news describes an AED 15 billion community on 1.67 million square metres, with more than 2,000 residences and more than 55% of the masterplan given to landscaped gardens and green space. The wider masterplan includes 4- and 5-bedroom standalone villas, twin villas, townhouses, maisonettes, waterfront penthouses and apartments.

Phase 2, as officially described, comprised 619 units: 2- and 3-bedroom townhouses, duplexes, and 4- and 5-bedroom villas. Official news said Phase 1 sold out within 72 hours earlier in 2026.

Average prices, as published — not a live price list

The official project site publishes average prices, not a unit-by-unit list. Some marketing pages online use different “starting” figures. I quote the official averages below, as they appeared when I checked the page on 10 November 2026. They can change, and they are not an offer.

A February 2026 official launch note said average prices for standalone villas were AED 7 million. That earlier figure should not be mixed with the later averages above. I have not used unofficial “from AED 3.59 million” portal figures as official starting prices.

Payment plans

The official project site lists three Phase 2 plans: 35/65 for non-UAE nationals, 30/70 for UAE nationals, and 25/75 as a larger early-payment option. I have written these out, with instalment dates, in a separate payment-plan note. Some property portals still show older plans such as 5/45/50. Those should not be treated as current without a check.

Handover — the public dates do not all agree

Official Ohana news (launch, groundbreaking, Phase 2 sales and related announcements) says phased delivery or completion by 2029. The official site lists instalments through 15 July 2029, with the balance due on completion. Some unofficial pages say Q3 2030. I will not pick a single handover month for you until the developer confirms it in writing for a specific unit.

What I have not confirmed on official pages

I did not find, on the official Ohana pages I reviewed, a live unit list, official service charges, official rental-yield figures, or an explicit “freehold” statement. Some portals state freehold. I will not repeat that as an official fact until I see it on a primary source or a contract.
