Manchester City Yas Residences: townhouse and duplex sizes explained
Manchester City Yas Residences Phase 2 lists a 2-bedroom townhouse, a 3-bedroom townhouse and a 3-bedroom duplex, with saleable areas of 1,938, 2,228 and 2,325 sq ft. Here is the full plot and saleable area breakdown, in sq ft and m².
Manchester City Yas Residences Phase 2 publishes three low-rise unit types: a 2-bedroom townhouse, a 3-bedroom townhouse and a 3-bedroom duplex. Their saleable areas run to 1,938, 2,228 and 2,325 sq ft respectively, on plots of 2,045, 2,556 and 2,691 sq ft. This guide repeats only what Ohana Development has published, nothing beyond it.
The three low-rise unit types, plot and saleable area
The project listing separates plot size from saleable area, the figure that reflects the actual living space transferred to the buyer.
| Unit type | Plot (sq ft / m²) | Saleable area (sq ft / m²) |
|---|---|---|
| 2-bedroom townhouse | 2,045 / 190 | 1,938 / 180 |
| 3-bedroom townhouse | 2,556 / 237.5 | 2,228 / 207 |
| 3-bedroom duplex | 2,691 / 250 | 2,325 / 216 |
The 3-bedroom townhouse and the 3-bedroom duplex share the same bedroom count but a different plot and saleable area: the duplex gains volume across two levels where the townhouse spreads further at ground level. Larger 4- and 5-bedroom villas within the same masterplan are covered in a separate guide.
Why saleable area matters as much as plot size
For a buyer comparing off-plan units, plot size alone does not tell the full story: a generous garden around a compact home serves a different purpose than a smaller plot with more built space. Between the 2-bedroom townhouse (2,045 sq ft plot for 1,938 sq ft saleable) and the 3-bedroom duplex (2,691 sq ft plot for 2,325 sq ft saleable), the ratio between plot and saleable area stays close across the range, which points to a consistent layout approach across Phase 2 rather than one outsized unit type.
How these three unit types relate to the wider masterplan
The 2-bedroom townhouse, 3-bedroom townhouse and 3-bedroom duplex sit at the more compact end of Phase 2, alongside the larger 4- and 5-bedroom villas covered in a separate guide. All five unit types fall within the same 170-hectare masterplan, built around a 500,000 sqm central garden and a Manchester City Football Club partnership that supplies the project's shared amenities. A buyer choosing between these three lower-rise types is mainly deciding on bedroom count and layout format, townhouse versus duplex, rather than on access to a materially different set of amenities.
What these sizes mean for a buyer
A 2-bedroom townhouse at 1,938 sq ft suits a couple or a small family looking for a clean layout without the extra bedroom of a duplex. The 3-bedroom duplex, with saleable area close to the 3-bedroom townhouse, spreads that space differently across its levels, a point worth checking on the detailed floor plans with your adviser before reserving.

Price, payment plan and project stage
None of these three unit types has a published starting price: Ohana Development has not released pricing for Phase 2. The payment plan, by contrast, is published in percentages (a 35/65 split for non-UAE-national buyers across seven instalments running to mid-2029, or a 25/75 split with a 2% discount), covered in full in our Manchester City Yas Residences payment plan guide. Phase 2 handover is set for 2029. For the full picture across all five Phase 2 unit types, see our Manchester City Yas Residences guide.
Costs on top of the price
An off-plan sale in Abu Dhabi is registered on DARI, the ADREC platform, and the developer starts the process. The published fee is 2% of the price for a freehold sale, plus AED 400 in electronic service charges before 5% VAT, with the SPA setting who pays. The exact figure for a townhouse or the duplex can only be worked out once Ohana Development confirms the unit price. Our answer on what DARI is in Abu Dhabi walks through the process.
