Manchester City Branded Residences is officially coming to Abu Dhabi, with Ohana Developments confirmed as the developer behind the high-profile project.
The partnership was formally announced on January 26, 2026, in Abu Dhabi, when Ohana Development and Manchester City Football Club revealed plans to bring the global football brand into the luxury residential space for the first time.
The announcement was made by Husein Salem, CEO of Ohana Development, alongside Ferran Soriano, CEO of City Football Group, marking a major milestone for both organisations.
The development will be located on Yas Island, along the Yas Canal waterfront, placing it in one of the capital’s most prestigious and fast-growing lifestyle destinations.
The site is expected to span a large-scale master planned community, positioning the residences alongside some of Abu Dhabi’s most iconic entertainment, leisure, and waterfront attractions.
The project represents a shift in how sports brands extend into lifestyle and real estate, moving beyond sponsorships into fully immersive living environments.
What Residents Can Expect
Manchester City Branded Residences will feature a collection of luxury apartments designed around the club’s modern identity and global appeal.
Interiors are expected to reflect Manchester City’s aesthetic through curated materials, contemporary layouts, and design elements inspired by the club’s heritage and values.
Residents can expect premium amenities, including private fitness facilities, wellness spaces, entertainment lounges, and social areas designed to create a strong sense of community.
The experience is positioned as more than just owning a branded home but becoming part of a lifestyle built around sport, wellbeing, and connection.
Why This Matters For Abu Dhabi
This development reinforces Abu Dhabi’s growing position as a global destination for branded real estate, now extending beyond hotels and fashion into world-class sport.
With Ohana Developments leading the project and Manchester City providing the global brand power, the residences are expected to attract international investors, football fans, and lifestyle-driven buyers looking for something genuinely distinctive in the capital.
