Manchester City Yas Residences

All four active projects are delivered by Ohana Development, a UAE-based developer with a track record of licensed branded residential communities. They hold the official partnership with Manchester City Football Club for this community. In our dealings with them, handover timelines and construction quality have been consistent, which matters a lot when you're buying off-plan. We always recommend reviewing the escrow account registration with ADRA before committing.

Yas Island is one of Abu Dhabi's strongest short-term rental markets, largely because of year-round events at the circuit and theme parks. Our buyers targeting furnished apartments are achieving gross yields of 7–9% annually through platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com. Long-term unfurnished leases typically yield 5–6.5%. The Manchester City branding adds a premium for sports-tourism tenants, which is a niche but reliable demand driver we've seen perform well in similar branded projects.

Yas Island sits roughly 30 minutes from Abu Dhabi city centre and about 45–55 minutes from Dubai Marina via Sheikh Zayed Road, depending on traffic. The E10 and E11 highways make both directions straightforward. Abu Dhabi International Airport is only about 15 minutes away, which our international buyers particularly appreciate. There's no metro connection yet, so a car or ride-hailing service is the practical daily option for most residents.

Families are well catered for on and around Yas Island. GEMS World Academy Abu Dhabi and Yas American Academy are both within a short drive and follow internationally recognised curricula. Yas Mall — one of the UAE's larger retail destinations — is minutes away with supermarkets, dining, and a cinema. The community itself is designed with sports courts, pools, and a dedicated football pitch, which makes it genuinely practical for families, not just a marketing talking point.

We currently have four distinct product types in our catalogue: branded apartments (studios to 3-bedrooms), maisonettes with duplex layouts, townhouses, and standalone villas. This range means the community suits first-time investors, upgraders, and end-users equally well. Maisonettes are particularly popular with our buyers who want apartment convenience but need the extra floor for a home office or growing family. Availability shifts quickly — we recommend booking a viewing or requesting a unit availability sheet directly from our team.
