Who Is Ohana Development?
Ohana Development is a UAE real estate developer headquartered in Abu Dhabi. Early 2026, the company announced its partnership with Manchester City FC to develop Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana.
The project brings the football club's identity into a residential development, with a wider concept centred on homes, sport, wellness, and community living. You can read more in Ohana Development's official partnership announcement.
For prospective buyers, understanding the developer is a useful starting point. However, a partnership or a project's branding does not replace the need to review its documentation, construction progress, and contractual terms.
What Is Manchester City Yas Residences Phase II?
Manchester City Yas Residences Phase II is being presented as a new residential offering on Yas Canal, associated with the wider Manchester City Yas Residences development by Ohana.
The official project website describes townhouse and villa living, with a residential concept that incorporates sport, wellness, and outdoor amenities. Buyers should consult the latest Phase II sales materials for confirmed property configurations, floor plans, specifications, payment terms, and availability.
It's important to distinguish the overall development from the specific phase you're considering. Property types, prices, payment schedules, and handover dates may differ between phases. Ask the PSI sales team for the latest documentation before relying on any published details.
What Should Buyers Research About Ohana Development?
1. Review the developer's project history
If you're considering an off-plan property, look for information about the developer's previous projects, construction progress, and completed developments.
Where possible, compare announced completion dates with actual delivery records. For projects still under construction, distinguish between planned features and operational facilities.
This research can provide useful context, but each development should be assessed on its own merits.
2. Understand the Manchester City partnership
The Manchester City name is a key part of the residential project's identity. Buyers should understand how the partnership relates to the development's design, amenities, and resident offering.
Review the official project information and ask which branded features and services are included with the property. Check any relevant management arrangements, access conditions, and additional charges rather than assuming every advertised feature comes with the purchase.
The brand may be an important consideration for some buyers, but the property's specifications, location, and purchase terms remain central to the decision.
3. Check the Phase II purchase terms
Before reserving a property, request the latest price list, payment schedule, floor plan, and draft sale and purchase agreement for the specific unit.
Pay particular attention to:
- Payment schedule: Check the amount due at reservation, subsequent instalments, and any balance payable at completion.
- Contract terms: Review the provisions covering completion, handover, delays, and cancellation.
- Additional costs: Ask about applicable registration fees, service charges, and other purchase or ownership expenses.
- Project documentation: Verify the project's registration and applicable escrow arrangements with the relevant Abu Dhabi authorities.
For an off-plan purchase, make sure the terms you receive in writing match the terms in the agreement you are asked to sign. Consider obtaining independent legal advice if any provision is unclear.
4. Assess the property against your needs
Even if the developer and project interest you, the specific home still needs to fit your requirements.
Consider the layout, usable space, privacy, parking, location within the development, and access to everyday facilities. If you're buying for personal use, think about your household's needs and regular commute. If you're considering a rental property, research comparable rents, ongoing expenses, vacancy risks, and likely demand without assuming a particular return.
The aim is to understand the property's practical suitability and overall cost, rather than relying on the project's marketing appeal alone.
Is Manchester City Yas Residences Phase II Worth Exploring?
Whether Phase II is worth considering depends on your budget, preferred property type, intended use, and the terms available for the unit you're interested in.
Its Yas Canal location and Manchester City-branded residential concept may appeal to buyers looking for a home in Abu Dhabi. However, these features should be considered alongside the property's specifications, the developer's documented track record, and the terms of the purchase.
Take time to compare the available options and verify the latest details before committing.
