Manchester City is developing a club-branded residential destination on Abu Dhabi’s Yas Canal waterfront.
Manchester City said it has partnered with Ohana Development, a leading real estate developer in the UAE, to launch the first of its kind Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana.
The development will be set along Abu Dhabi’s Yas Canal waterfront and span 1.67 million square metres.
Manchester City Football Club, also known as Man City, is a professional football club based in Manchester, England (UK) that competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football.
Ohana Development, which will design and develop the development, is renowned for collaborating with leading brands across culture, harnessing their appeal into high-end residential environments that reflect Ohana’s luxury-led design ethos, with the Manchester City brand integrated throughout the development.
Through this project, Ohana will leverage Manchester City’s unmatched presence in Abu Dhabi.
Each term, more than 3,500 children participate in City Football Schools sessions, delivered five days a week across seven locations by over 50 full-time accredited coaches.
The Manchester City Abu Dhabi Cup is the largest youth football tournament in the region, bringing together thousands of players from across the UAE and globally each year.
Beyond the pitch, Manchester City drives positive impact through community and educational initiatives such as the Healthy Lifestyles Programme, engaging over 30,000 primary school children last year to promote healthier, more active lifestyles.
Ferran Soriano, Chief Executive Officer of City Football Group, said, “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.”
Husein Salem, CEO of Ohana Development, said, “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.
“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.”
