Ohana launches Phase 2 of Manchester City-branded homes in Abu Dhabi
Ohana Development, a leading Abu Dhabi real estate developer, has announced the launched of the second phase of its branded project Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana, in addition to Norwegian football star Erling Haaland’s name gracing its client roster. Meanwhile, football manager and former Spanish player Pep Guardiola has been appointed as the project’s brand ambassador.
Erling Haaland has bought a five-bedroom villa at Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana, the developer shared. Furthermore, Manchester City legend, Alfie Haaland also picked up the keys to his new home in the community.
The sales of second phase, which comprises two- and three-bedroom townhouses, duplex villas, and four- and five-bedroom villas, are set to commence on 19 October 2026. Units range from 1,938 to 4,887 square feet. Two-bedroom townhouses have an average price of Dh3.75 million, providing a new option for buyers seeking a home within the community.
Husein Salem, CEO of Ohana Development, said, “The response to our first phase demonstrated the confidence buyers place in Abu Dhabi and in our vision for Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana. Phase 2 builds on that momentum, offering more families and investors the opportunity to become part of a development that brings together unique homes, sport and wellbeing amenities, in Abu Dhabi, one of the world’s most appealing cities.”
Located along Yas Canal, adjacent to Yas Island, the development spans 1.67 million square metres and will feature more than 2,000 residences. The world’s first Manchester City-branded residential community has already broken ground and is scheduled for phased delivery by 2029.
The launch also highlighted the development’s planned Manchester City Park, designed as the community’s main destination for sport, recreation and family life. Together, the new home types and extensive outdoor amenities expand the residential offering following unprecedented demand for Phase 1, which sold out within 72 hours in Q1 this year.
Pep Guardiola said, “In professional sport, we understand that performance depends on more than training. Recovery, balance and wellbeing are just as important, and those principles matter in everyday life too. Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana places sport and wellness at the heart of the community, giving residents opportunities to stay active, recharge and spend time together. That approach is what makes the project particularly appealing to me, and I am pleased to join Ohana Development as its official brand ambassador for this unique community.”
At the heart of the landscape masterplan, the Manchester City Park and Manchester City Sports Clubhouse will anchor a connected network of nine neighbourhood parks. Shaded walkways, pedestrian-friendly streets and green corridors will link these spaces, giving residents access to outdoor activities close to their homes.
Planned family amenities include dedicated gathering areas, children’s play spaces, barbecue stations, shaded dining tables and seating areas. A central lawn will provide space for informal recreation and relaxation, while a food hub, pavilion, event areas and an outdoor screen with stepped seating will support community gatherings.
The sports offering will include football pitches, tennis and basketball courts, shaded outdoor fitness equipment, and cycling and jogging routes. A skate park, parkour park, climbing walls, karting arena and bike arena will add further recreational options.
The wider lifestyle offering includes a Manchester City training academy, fitness and recovery facilities, and a canal-front promenade, alongside other social spaces.
