Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana Phase 2

###### The short version:
A branded family community on Yas Canal where the sport and wellness concept runs through the whole masterplan. Phase 1 sold out within 72 hours earlier this year, and Phase 2 offers a second chance to buy into one of the most distinctive launches on the island.

The concept

Ohana Development has built this community around the culture of elite sport: discipline, balance and longevity. The full masterplan covers 1.67 million sqm and more than 2,000 residences along Yas Canal. Pep Guardiola is the brand ambassador, and Erling Haaland has bought a five-bedroom villa here for his family. That is about as strong an endorsement as a football-branded address can get.

The community has already broken ground, and delivery is phased, with completion targeted by 2029.

The homes

Phase 2 offers two-level townhouses, duplexes and villas from 1,938 to 4,887 sq ft. Contemporary architecture with clean lines, wide glazing and private gardens gives each home a calm, sheltered feel within an active neighbourhood.

On the ground floor, open living and dining spaces flow onto private gardens and terraces. Upstairs, bedroom suites open onto balconies. The villas add private pools, outdoor lounges, maid's rooms and covered car porches, which makes them a genuine resort setting for family life.

Two-bedroom townhouses are priced at an average of AED 3.75 million.

What sets it apart

The centre-piece is Manchester City Park, where sport, wellbeing and family life come together:

Sport: football fields, the Manchester City Training Academy, an amphitheatre, gardens and play areas
Waterfront: a crystal lagoon, an infinity pool, a canal promenade, a watersports club and a canal sports lounge
Recovery: a spa and sauna, a hydrotherapy circuit, cryotherapy and infrared suites, an oxygen therapy room and an altitude training room. Wellness facilities on this scale are rare in any residential community in Abu Dhabi.
Community: a grand lobby, the City Café, a match day terrace, a city social club, an organic fine dining restaurant, canal-side retail, a mosque and a community hub
The location

Yas Canal brings a quieter waterfront setting to Yas Island, one of Abu Dhabi's best-known leisure destinations. Its theme parks, motorsport circuit, marina, golf course and Yas Mall are all close by.

Zayed International Airport is a short drive away. Saadiyat Island, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Al Reem Island and the Corniche are all within easy reach, and the E11 highway gives a direct link to Dubai. International schools, healthcare, beaches and a wide choice of dining cover daily needs.

Freehold ownership is open to all nationalities.

###### Who it suits
Families who want space, gardens and a community built around an active lifestyle.
End users and long-term investors who value a globally recognised brand on a waterfront masterplan.

Because the masterplan is large and delivered in phases, pay attention to your home's position: canal-facing and park-facing plots will be the most sought after within the community.
