15,369 Residential transactions — up 2.51% in volume
17.7% Projected villa & townhouse price growth 2026

Abu Dhabi is set to welcome the world’s first Manchester City-branded residential community, a landmark project announced by Ohana Development and Manchester City Football Club. The Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana will transform a prime 1.67 million square metre waterfront site on Yas Island into a luxury real estate destination inspired by the global football brand’s legacy. This launch highlights the explosive growth of the branded residences sector in the UAE, offering investors a unique opportunity in a high-demand market.

A High-Value Investment in Abu Dhabi’s Booming Market

For investors, this project arrives at an ideal time. Abu Dhabi is rapidly emerging as a branded residence powerhouse, with transaction volumes for such properties surging by 126% year-on-year. These homes command a significant premium; according to CBREbranded residences in the capital sell for an average of 87% more than standard properties in the same areas. The partnership with a globally recognized brand like Manchester City is designed to maximize property value and appeal to a vast international fanbase, ensuring strong long-term capital appreciation and rental potential.

Project Vision: Where Global Sport Meets Luxury Living

The development represents a fusion of world-class sport and premium residential design. Ferran Soriano, CEO of City Football Group, described it as a “landmark project” that brings the club to a “premium residential environment in a distinctively club-branded way.” Husein Salem, CEO of Ohana Development, stated the project reflects a shared vision to create “future-ready communities” that contribute to Abu Dhabi’s evolving landscape. The community will feature exclusive amenities, including football academy facilities, wellness centers, and social hubs, creating a lifestyle proposition that extends far beyond standard off-plan properties.
