Here is what we know about Phase II so far.
What Is Coming in Manchester City Yas Residences Phase II?
Manchester City Yas Residences is Ohana Development’s branded residential community along Yas Canal in Abu Dhabi.
The wider development combines residential properties with sports, wellness, leisure and waterfront amenities. It was introduced as Manchester City’s first branded residential destination and includes a mix of apartments, townhouses, villas and other residential formats.
The upcoming phase puts a stronger focus on townhouse and villa living. Ohana’s current campaign presents the new release as the next chapter of Manchester City Yas Residences, while the official project website currently lists the new phase as coming soon.
Full commercial details have yet to be released, so buyers should look to the developer for confirmed information on availability, pricing, layouts and payment plans.
Townhouses and Villas Take Centre Stage
One of the clearest details about the upcoming release is its focus on townhouses and villas.
This gives Phase II a different emphasis from an apartment-only launch and may appeal to buyers looking for more space within a larger master-planned waterfront community.
Ohana's project concept brings together contemporary architecture, landscaped areas, green pathways and the Yas Canal waterfront. The wider development is also designed around sports, wellness, leisure and social spaces.
For buyers comparing different property types on Yas Island, the eventual unit sizes, layouts and positioning of the Phase II homes will be important factors to consider once they are officially announced.
What Makes Manchester City Yas Residences Different?
The project brings together three elements that continue to attract interest in Abu Dhabi's residential market: branded residences, waterfront living and lifestyle amenities.
The wider Manchester City Yas Residences community includes sports and wellness facilities, a Manchester City Training Academy, a City Lounge and spaces for socialising, dining and recreation.
The Manchester City connection gives the development a clear identity, particularly for football fans. However, the project's appeal is not limited to the brand.
Its Yas Canal setting places residents within Yas Island's wider network of entertainment, leisure, retail and sporting destinations. For buyers, the combination of the location and the wider community concept may be just as relevant as the branding itself.
Why Yas Canal Matters
Location is another important part of the project.
Manchester City Yas Residences is positioned along Yas Canal, giving the development a waterfront setting while keeping it close to major destinations across Yas Island.
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld, Yas Marina, Yas Marina Circuit and Etihad Arena are among the island's major attractions. Zayed International Airport is also within a relatively short drive from Yas Island.
Yas Island has developed into one of Abu Dhabi's major residential, entertainment and tourism destinations, with established communities alongside a growing pipeline of new developments.
For Phase II buyers, the location therefore needs to be considered alongside the specific position of each home within the wider Manchester City Yas Residences community.
What Has Not Been Announced Yet?
The current Phase II announcement provides an early look at what is coming, but it does not yet provide every detail buyers will need before deciding whether a property is right for them.
Buyers should look for official information on:
- Starting prices
- Available townhouse and villa types
- Unit sizes and layouts
- Payment plans
- Handover schedule
- Service charges
- Launch and registration process
- Availability and allocation
These details can have a direct impact on the overall cost of ownership and the suitability of a property for a buyer's plans.
Until the full release is announced, it is better to treat the current campaign as an early introduction rather than a complete sales launch.
What We Know About the Wider Manchester City Yas Residences Development
Phase II forms part of a much larger residential vision.
Manchester City Yas Residences was launched as a gated waterfront community on Yas Canal, with the wider project combining residential properties with sports, wellness, leisure and social amenities.
In September 2026, Ohana announced that construction had officially broken ground and that a dedicated Experience Centre had opened for prospective buyers and investors.
The wider development includes a range of residential options, from apartments and townhouses to villas and maisonettes. This broader mix means Phase II is not a standalone villa or townhouse project. Instead, it forms part of a larger community planned around the Manchester City brand and Yas Canal waterfront lifestyle.
Is Manchester City Yas Residences Phase II Worth Watching?
For buyers considering villas and townhouses on Yas Island, Manchester City Yas Residences Phase II is worth monitoring as more information becomes available.
The location, branded concept and wider community are already established. However, the details that matter most to a buyer's decision, including pricing, floor plans, payment structure, service charges and handover, will become clearer when the developer releases the full Phase II information.
The Manchester City branding may be an important consideration for some buyers, but it should not be the only one. Comparing the property itself, its location within Yas Island, the overall purchase cost, and the terms of the development can provide a clearer basis for a decision.
As Ohana releases more information, Phase II should become easier to assess against other villa and townhouse opportunities across Yas Island and Abu Dhabi.
