Yas Island off plan: Manchester City Yas Residences or Yas Park Place
Manchester City Yas Residences offers villas, townhouses and duplexes built with Manchester City FC. Yas Park Place offers studios to 3 bedroom apartments facing Yas Central Park. Both remain price on request.
Off plan buying on Yas Island currently splits clearly into two very different products: Manchester City Yas Residences, by Ohana Development, covering villas, townhouses and duplexes; and Yas Park Place, by Aldar Properties, covering studios through 3 bedroom apartments.
Manchester City Yas Residences: a large football-branded masterplan
Phase 2 of Manchester City Yas Residences includes 2 and 3 bedroom townhouses, 3 bedroom duplexes, and 4 and 5 bedroom villas, within a wider 170-hectare masterplan of roughly 1,550 villas and townhouses plus 580 apartments. The project is created with Manchester City Football Club: a Manchester City Park, a training academy, football pitches, a crystal lagoon, a canal promenade and a water sports club are all part of the plan. Two payment options are published: 35/65 for non-Emirati buyers (5% at SPA signing, then six 5% instalments from 15 February 2027 to 15 July 2029, 65% at completion), or 25/75 with a 2% discount. Delivery is stated for 2029.
Yas Park Place: smaller apartments facing the park directly
Yas Park Place, in North Yas, spans studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and 2 bedroom duplexes across six mid-rise buildings facing Yas Central Park, part of a wider 780-home plan. Shared facilities include an Aqua Garden, a Reflective Garden with a pool, a Zen Garden with yoga decks, coworking spaces, a family pool and a retail promenade. The first phase, four of six buildings, launched in April 2026; the second phase is not yet marketed. The project targets Estidama Pearl 3 certification. Delivery is stated for Q1 2030.
A quick side-by-side comparison
| Project | Product | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Manchester City Yas Residences | Villas, townhouses, duplexes | 2029 |

Price: still on request for both, for now
Neither project publishes a price in our records. Manchester City Yas Residences at least publishes its payment plan structure in detail; Yas Park Place's payment plan is also on request.
Foreign ownership on Yas Island
Yas Island is on the UAE's historical list of zones open to non-UAE nationals under federal law. A property investment of at least AED 2 million opens the door to a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions confirmed by the authorities, though eligibility cannot be checked for either project until a price is published.

Yas Island within Abu Dhabi's open zones
Yas Island is on the UAE's historical list of zones open to non-UAE nationals under federal law, alongside Saadiyat, Al Reem, Al Maryah, Lulu, Al Raha Beach, Sayh Al Sedairah, Al Reef, and Masdar City. Both projects compared here benefit from this same confirmed ownership framework.
A disclosure repeated across both fiches
The official Abu Dhabi destination page states that project locations are approximate and that your adviser should be asked for the exact plot. Both the Manchester City Yas Residences and Yas Park Place fiches separately confirm that current availability and unit-specific terms are set by your adviser, not assumed from general marketing material.
Why the two projects rarely compete for the same buyer
A buyer searching specifically for a villa or townhouse is unlikely to also be comparing studios, since Manchester City Yas Residences and Yas Park Place sit at opposite ends of the housing type spectrum within the same island; the "off plan on Yas Island" search genuinely splits into two separate buyer intents.
What remains confirmed only through your adviser
Manchester City Yas Residences' exact price once released, Yas Park Place's second-phase release timeline, and any service charge figures for either project are not published generally in our records.
