Manchester City-branded residences set for Dubai’s Yas Island

UAE: In a joint venture with Manchester City, Ohana Development will build branded residences for the football club on Yas Island.

The residences will range from studio apartments to five-bedroom villas across a development totalling 1.67 million square metres. The development will consist of studio apartments, maisonettes, townhouses and villas.

The Dubai properties will have access to a variety of amenities, many of them soccer-related. Ohana plans for a Manchester City training academy, two football fields, performance studios and hydro-, cryo- and oxygen therapy facilities. Other wellness amenities will include a spa, crystal lagoon and infinity pools.

Along with branded residences, the development will house retail and dining areas along the Yas Canal, marina access and watersports. Community infrastructure is also planned: Ohana will build a medical centre, mosque, school and community hub.

“Ohana Development is highly regarded for working with leading global brands, translating their influence into high-end, design-driven residential experiences,” City Football Group CEO Ferran Soriano said. “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.”

“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,” Ohana CEO Husein Salem said.

Sales will begin 1 March, starting from £400,000 for studio to three-bedroom flats and ranging up to £2.2 million for maisonettes. Yas Island is host to other notable branded experiences like Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World.
