    Ohana Development Records Dh6 Billion in Sales Within 72 Hours

    The sales performance of Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana marks one of the strongest project launches in Abu Dhabi’s real estate history, with the waterfront community on Yas Canal achieving the record figure between March 14 and March 17, 2026.

    Investors formed queues at the sales launch, reflecting exceptional demand for the project. The buyer profile shows 35% Emirati nationals and 65% expatriate and international investors, demonstrating broad appeal across market segments.

    “We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the UAE government and its visionary leadership for fostering a stable and forward-looking investment environment,” said Husein Salem, CEO of Ohana Development. “This strong foundation continues to strengthen confidence among investors and developers, supporting the resilience and growth of Abu Dhabi’s thriving real estate sector, despite any evolving circumstances.”

    Salem added that the strong response and sales record in just 72 hours reflects continued trust from investors locally and internationally, as well as the appeal of the project’s unique offering in the emirate.

    In response to the significant interest, Ohana Development is expected to release additional inventory from the project soon.

    The development spans 1.67 million square meters, with more than 55% of the masterplan dedicated to landscaped gardens and green spaces. Designed around sport and active living, the community will feature integrated training and recovery facilities, alongside a waterfront promenade with retail, dining and lifestyle destinations.

    Manchester City Yas Residences will include a marina sports club with water sports activities, as well as resort-style amenities including fitness facilities and pools.

    The sales achievement comes as Abu Dhabi’s property market recorded strong weekly sales in early March 2026, demonstrating sustained investor confidence. The UAE capital has been accelerating its development pipeline, with nearly 75 million square meters approved in 2025, marking a 137% year-on-year increase.

    The record-breaking launch underscores Abu Dhabi’s growing appeal as a premium residential destination, particularly for branded developments that combine lifestyle amenities with strategic locations on the emirate’s most sought-after addresses.

  • BEYOND Developments Unveils 8 Million Sq Ft Masterplan at Dubai Maritime City

    BEYOND Developments Unveils 8 Million Sq Ft Masterplan at Dubai Maritime City

    BEYOND Developments announced the details of its flagship masterplan at Dubai Maritime City, a fully integrated urban ecosystem spanning 8 million square feet that combines waterfront living with nature-focused design across two distinct precincts.

    The masterplan, positioned along one of Dubai’s most strategic coastal corridors, represents a large-scale approach to urban placemaking that integrates residential towers, hospitality destinations, retail experiences, educational facilities, healthcare services, and lifestyle amenities within a single cohesive framework.

    Two Districts with Distinct Identities

    The development is structured around two complementary environments: The Bay and The Forest. The Bay district delivers more than two kilometers of continuous waterfront promenades and cycleways connecting residences, hospitality venues, and curated food and beverage experiences along the shoreline, with a focus on absolute oceanfront living and sea-facing residential units.

    The Forest introduces what the developer describes as the region’s first forest district by the sea, anchored by a 65,000 square meter central forest that functions as living infrastructure designed to shape microclimate, movement patterns, and daily wellbeing through shaded trails, wellness spaces, and nature-led public realms.

    Residences within The Forest precinct are oriented toward greenery and privacy while maintaining visual connections to both the sea and Dubai’s skyline, with a significant portion of the masterplan dedicated to landscaped open spaces.

    Infrastructure and Connectivity

    The masterplan incorporates a network of signal-free access points, internal flyovers, and viaduct connections designed to enable efficient movement into and out of the district, while internal circulation relies on shaded boulevards, pedestrian bridges, and interconnected promenades that prioritize pedestrian mobility alongside uninterrupted vehicular traffic flow.

    The wider Dubai Maritime City district provides supporting infrastructure including schools, nurseries, healthcare facilities, wellness-focused hospitality, mosques, and community services, allowing the masterplan to integrate seamlessly into an established urban framework.

    Global Investment Appeal

    The masterplan has attracted buyers and residents from Europe, North America, Asia, Australia, Russia, and the wider MENA region, reflecting its positioning as a destination for international capital, long-term residency, and cross-border real estate investment.

    BEYOND has unveiled eight projects within the district to date, including SARIA, ORISE, SENSIA, THE MURAL, SOULEVER, 31 ABOVE (a commercial tower), TALEA, and KANYON within The Forest precinct, with additional announcements planned for 2026 as the district continues to evolve.

    Market Context

    The announcement comes as Dubai’s property market staged a sharp recovery in the second week of March 2026, with transaction volumes rising 58% despite regional tensions, while industry leaders cite structural advantages and a diversified buyer base as key factors supporting continued capital inflows into the emirate’s real estate sector.

    The masterplan aligns with Dubai’s broader urban strategy focused on wellbeing, connectivity, and sustainable economic growth, positioning the district as a long-term investment destination built to support multi-generational residency and capital appreciation within the emirate’s evolving coastal landscape.

This master plan adds a meaningful new layer to the beach’s evolution and strengthens its positioning as a global lifestyle and investment destination.”

    The architectural vision draws inspiration from French classical design, reinterpreting proportion, symmetry, and spatial order through a contemporary lens. Cascading buildings are arranged to maximize uninterrupted sea and landscape views, with wind-flow strategies, shaded pathways, dense greenery, and pedestrian bridges ensuring year-round comfort.

    The unveiling took place through an immersive launch experience featuring light installations, layered soundscapes, and theatrical storytelling, translating the spirit of the master plan into a sensory narrative for attendees.

    EVERMORE is designed to contribute meaningfully to the Ras Al Khaimah Vision 2030, aligning with the emirate’s evolving urban and economic development strategy.
