Ohana Development, a prominent UAE-based luxury real estate developer, has entered into a landmark agreement with Manchester City F.C. to develop Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana—the world’s first Manchester City-branded residential destination. Situated along the Yas Canal waterfront, the multi-billion-dirham project aims to redefine luxury living in Abu Dhabi through a blend of sporting excellence, architectural innovation, and community-focused design.

Covering an expansive 1.67 million square metres, Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana will integrate Manchester City’s globally recognized identity with Ohana’s signature design philosophy. The project underscores both entities’ shared commitment to quality, innovation, and long-term value creation, while further cementing Abu Dhabi’s reputation as a global hub for elite residential developments.

“Partnering with Manchester City marks a significant milestone for Ohana Development and reflects our long-standing commitment to Abu Dhabi, where we are proudly headquartered. The club’s global stature, forward-looking vision, and modern outlook closely align with our ambition to create future-ready communities that contribute to the emirate’s evolving lifestyle landscape. Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana brings this shared vision to life through a thoughtfully curated residential project, one that is set to become a lasting legacy within the real estate sector.”

Ferran Soriano, Chief Executive Officer of City Football Group, added:
“This is a landmark project that brings Manchester City to a premium residential environment in a distinctively club-branded way. Ohana Development is highly regarded for working with leading global brands, translating their influence into high-end, design-driven residential experiences. This partnership will see Ohana harness the Club’s global reach and its unrivalled footprint in the region. We continue to be committed to distinctive collaborations like this.”

The Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana project is expected to set a new benchmark for branded living in the region, combining world-class design with lifestyle experiences inspired by one of the most successful football clubs in the world.
