Manchester City Yas Residences C: Four-Bedroom Villas on Yas Island from AED 4.75M
Ohana Real Estate Development is building a villa phase within the Manchester City-branded residential community on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The development applies the Manchester City FC name to a family-oriented off-plan project on one of the UAE's most established leisure and residential islands.
The standout figure here is the down payment: 5%.
Getting In for AED 237,500
Securing a villa costs AED 237,500 upfront, against a total price of AED 4,750,000. The full schedule is 5% on booking, 45% during construction, and 50% at handover. No post-handover payment option applies, so the final half of the purchase price must be settled at completion.
That structure puts the financial weight firmly at handover. Buyers planning to use a mortgage should start engaging lenders well before the 2030 completion date, not in the final months. The 5% entry point is low relative to Abu Dhabi's typical off-plan requirements, making the initial commitment manageable while placing more demand on the buyer's finances at the back end.
Yas Island: What Living Here Actually Means
Yas Island is roughly 25 to 30 minutes from Abu Dhabi city centre and approximately 10 minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport. Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World, and the Yas Marina Circuit are all on the island. Yas Mall covers daily retail and dining needs on-island.
For a permanent resident, the island functions as a largely self-contained environment. The entertainment infrastructure makes it liveable without constant trips to the mainland. For families, school provision on the island removes one of the main logistical complications of Abu Dhabi suburban living. Saadiyat Island, with its cultural venues and beach access, is a short drive north.
The tradeoff is distance from the urban core. If proximity to Abu Dhabi's Central Business District or the Corniche matters for daily commute, the 25 to 30-minute drive will add up over time.
Two Layouts, One Price
All villas in this phase carry a price of AED 4,750,000. Two configurations are available:
- Type 1: 4 bedrooms, 3,229 sq ft
- Type 2: 4 bedrooms, 2,949 sq ft
The price is identical across both types. Type 1 delivers an additional 280 sq ft at no premium, making it the straightforward choice unless a specific reason exists to prefer the smaller footprint.
Both types are 4-bedroom villas. This is a family product. A buyer looking for a smaller unit with a lower ticket or easier rental liquidity will not find it here. A family that wants space, a garden, and the Manchester City-branded community environment is the clear target.
What the Amenities Say About This Community
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining and Security | Restaurants, CCTV Security |
Six amenities is a lean offering for a villa community. The indoor pool is the most significant item; Abu Dhabi's summer months make outdoor swimming impractical for a sustained period each year, so the indoor option extends year-round usability meaningfully. The children's play area and landscaped gardens reinforce the family focus. On-site dining is a convenience item that reduces dependence on Yas Mall for casual meals. The overall set is functional rather than resort-scale, which fits a community that already sits within reach of an entire island of leisure infrastructure.
Completion in Q1 2030: Three and a Half Years Off-Plan
Construction starts February 2028 and completes February 2030. For a buyer entering now in late 2026, that means approximately 3.5 years as an off-plan holder before handover.
The 45% during-construction installments are spread across a two-year build period, giving buyers time to manage cash flow. The critical pressure point is handover, when the remaining 50% falls due. Buyers financing through a mortgage should treat the second half of 2029 as the point to have a formal offer in hand, giving enough runway to resolve any complications before the completion deadline.
