Open Home Properties has officially opened its second branch in Abu Dhabi, a move the firm says underscores the ongoing expansion of the capital’s real estate sector and a rising demand for specialized advisory services. This growth aligns with Abu Dhabi’s strengthening position as a premier regional destination for property investment, bolstered by transparent regulatory frameworks, consistent government investment, and a robust pipeline of high-profile developments.
Mohamad Sarhan, CEO and co-founder of Open Home Properties, noted that the new office reflects both the company’s internal growth and the broader positive momentum within the local market. “Abu Dhabi has evolved into a market that offers much more than investment opportunities,” Sarhan stated. He emphasized that today’s buyers are increasingly prioritizing communities that integrate quality infrastructure with long-term value, a shift that is fundamentally reshaping the local landscape.
Market data supports this outlook, particularly regarding Yas Island. Hamza Alabdlat, co-founder and general manager of Open Home Properties, highlighted that the island remains a top-tier investment hub. During the first half of 2026, Yas Island recorded over Dh8.64 billion in real estate transactions. Alabdlat noted that the area continues to draw significant interest from buyers seeking waterfront living and lifestyle-oriented communities, which has directly benefited projects like the Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana.
Located on the Yas Canal, the Manchester City Yas Residences project represents a significant milestone as the world’s first residential community branded by Manchester City Football Club. The development is designed to cater to wellness and sports-oriented lifestyles, offering residents access to a Manchester City Training Academy, fitness centers, cycling and running tracks, and various waterfront amenities. The project features a mix of villas, townhouses, and apartments, reflecting a growing trend of international brands entering the residential market to provide unique lifestyle value.
To further incentivize investment, Ohana Development has launched a flexible 40/60 payment plan for the project, aimed at providing financial ease for prospective buyers. This initiative, combined with the firm’s second branch opening, highlights the confidence industry players have in the capital’s long-term trajectory. As Abu Dhabi continues to attract global investors and world-class developments, the integration of international branding and flexible financial options is setting new benchmarks for real estate investment across the region.

Against this backdrop, Open Home Properties says the decision to expand was a natural step.
