Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana: Abu Dhabi’s First Luxury Community Where Football Meets Waterfront Living
A new era of luxury living is emerging in Abu Dhabi with Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana, a landmark waterfront residential development that combines elite sport, wellness, lifestyle, and community living. Located on Yas Canal, the AED 15 billion gated community brings the world of Manchester City Football Club into everyday residential life through an integrated training academy and premium lifestyle amenities.
Spanning 1.67 million square metres, the development is designed as a destination where residents can experience the energy of professional football while enjoying resort-style waterfront living. More than 55% of the masterplan is dedicated to landscaped gardens and green spaces, creating a balance between urban sophistication, nature, and wellbeing.
At the centre of the community is the Manchester City Training Academy, a first-of-its-kind residential sports and lifestyle concept designed around performance, recovery, social connection, and recreation.
A Residential Experience Inspired by Manchester City
Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana extends the identity of one of the world’s leading football clubs beyond the stadium, creating a lifestyle environment inspired by the values of teamwork, excellence, and performance.
The Training Academy is built around six key pillars:
- Lifestyle & Sports
- Wellness & Recovery
- Social Experiences & Food and Beverage
- Waterfront & Outdoor Living
- Cultural Heritage
- Elite Performance
Together, these elements create a community where sport is not just an activity but part of everyday life.
Professional-Level Football Facilities for Residents
The development introduces football-focused amenities rarely found in residential communities. Residents will have access to professionally designed football fields, a tactical room, gym and fitness training facilities, and spaces inspired by Manchester City’s elite sporting environment.
The facilities are designed for both aspiring athletes and residents who simply want to incorporate an active lifestyle into their daily routine.
Wellness, Recovery and Mindful Living
Beyond sports performance, Manchester City Yas Residences places strong emphasis on holistic wellbeing.
The community features a dedicated Hydrotherapy Circuit designed to support physical recovery, while the Mind Studio provides a space focused on mental clarity, relaxation, and balance.
By combining fitness, recovery, and mental wellness, the project reflects the growing global trend toward integrated healthy living communities.
A Social Hub for Football Fans and Residents
The Manchester City-inspired lifestyle continues through a range of social and entertainment spaces.
The City Lounge and City Social Club provide gathering places where residents can connect, relax, and celebrate shared interests. The City Experience zone creates an immersive football atmosphere, while the City Café adds a casual lifestyle destination for residents and visitors.
A dedicated Manchester City retail store will also offer exclusive merchandise and lifestyle products, bringing the club experience closer to home.

Situated on Yas Canal, Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana combines waterfront living with access to Abu Dhabi’s growing entertainment and lifestyle ecosystem.

A New Model for Luxury Real Estate
