Abu Dhabi’s real estate market just witnessed one of its most impressive launches ever. Manchester City Yas Residences, developed by Ohana Development, generated AED 6 billion in sales within just 72 hours of its official launch.
AED 6 Billion in 72 Hours: A Record
The launch result sets a new benchmark for off-plan sales in Abu Dhabi. The speed at which buyers committed to the project reflects not only the strength of the Manchester City brand but also the underlying confidence in the UAE’s property market as a whole.
The Project Along Yas Canal
The gated waterfront community is situated along Yas Canal and spans 1.67 million square meters. More than 55% of the masterplan is dedicated to green spaces and landscaped gardens, with amenities including a marina sports club, resort-style pools, training and recovery facilities, and waterfront retail and dining.
35% Emirati, 65% International Buyers
The buyer profile was notably diverse: 35% of purchases came from Emirati investors and 65% from expatriates and international buyers — a strong indicator of the project’s broad market appeal.
What This Signals for Abu Dhabi
Ohana Development CEO Husein Salem credited the UAE’s stable investment environment for these extraordinary results. This launch is a clear signal that well-positioned off-plan projects in Abu Dhabi continue to attract record-level interest.
