Project general facts
Manchester City Residences by Ohana Development is a landmark football-branded waterfront community on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, created in partnership with one of the most influential football clubs in the world - Manchester City. This is not a decorative branding exercise. The club’s philosophy, culture and lifestyle are embedded into the DNA of the project, shaping the environment, amenities, and everyday experience of residents.
The project is designed around the idea of performance, discipline, growth and belonging - the same values that define Manchester City on the global stage. Architecture, public spaces, landscapes and community planning reflect a balance between elite performance and refined lifestyle. The masterplan promotes movement, wellbeing, social connection and purpose-driven living through walkable layouts, generous green zones, waterfront promenades and thoughtfully designed communal areas.
Residents live inside an ecosystem where football culture is tangible. A globally branded Manchester City sports academy operates directly within the community, offering professional training programs, youth development pathways and authentic club methodologies. Signature sports facilities, interactive club-inspired spaces and curated experiences connect residents with the identity of Manchester City in a meaningful, daily way.
The residential offering includes waterfront apartments, townhouses, twin villas and expansive villas, each designed with contemporary aesthetics, functional layouts and a strong emphasis on comfort and quality of life. More than half of the development is dedicated to green landscapes, wellness areas and outdoor recreation, reinforcing the project’s core idea - a lifestyle built around health, energy, ambition and belonging to something globally significant.
Manchester City Residences by Ohana is not just real estate. It is a rare intersection of global sport, identity, community and long-term value.
Location description and benefits
Yas Canal represents one of the most refined waterfront environments on Yas Island, defined by open water views, architectural harmony and a sense of understated prestige. The canal shapes the atmosphere of the area, creating a calm, private and visually compelling residential setting while remaining fully connected to the island’s key destinations.
This location naturally supports the lifestyle concept of the project. Waterfront promenades, landscaped walkways and open green corridors encourage daily movement and outdoor living. Cafés, leisure spaces and pedestrian-friendly planning foster social interaction and a sense of community that aligns seamlessly with the philosophy of Manchester City - connection, belonging and shared identity.
Connectivity is effortless. Residents enjoy direct access to Yas Island’s major attractions, retail destinations, hospitality landmarks and cultural venues, while benefiting from the privacy and exclusivity of a canal-side environment. The area offers a rare balance between energy and tranquility.
From an investment perspective, Yas Canal stands out due to its limited waterfront supply, strong urban planning fundamentals and growing international appeal. Combined with the global power of the Manchester City brand, the location supports long-term desirability, liquidity and value resilience.

Why Dubai off-plan
The macro case for buying off-plan in Dubai
These six pillars apply to every project on this site — not just this one. If you're new to the UAE market, they're the context you need before evaluating the specific unit above.
0% interest, ever
Off-plan payment plans are interest-free, end to end. Every instalment is at face value — no APR, no compounding, no balloon hidden in the back. Buyers from interest-bearing markets routinely underestimate how much this saves over a 3–5 year hold.
No income or capital-gains tax on property
Dubai charges no annual property tax, no income tax on rental yield, and no capital-gains tax on resale. The DLD 4% transfer fee is a one-time cost at registration — after that, your returns are yours.
20% usually opens the unit
Most off-plan plans book with a ~20% reservation deposit. You're under contract with the developer immediately, with the rest spread across construction milestones. The deposit is what unlocks the buy-side, not the full unit price.
Post-handover plans extend the runway
Many projects offer 2–4 years of post-handover instalments — meaning a chunk of the price gets paid AFTER you take keys. Once the unit is rented, that income can help cover the post-handover payments — rarely the full instalment, but enough to make the cash-flow comfortable rather than tight.
Golden Visa from AED 2M
A property purchase of AED 2M+ qualifies the buyer (and family) for the UAE Golden Visa — a 10-year renewable residency. The visa is the headline benefit; for many international buyers it's the actual reason to buy in Dubai.
Freehold ownership for foreigners
Across the 80+ freehold zones (Dubai Marina, Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, JVC, Dubai Hills, and the rest), foreigners own 100% of the asset and the land. There's no Emirati partner requirement, no lease structure — title deed in your name.
