Open Home Properties has officially launched its second branch in Abu Dhabi, a strategic move that underscores the firm’s confidence in the capital’s long-term real estate trajectory. This expansion aligns with the emirate’s strengthening reputation as a premier regional investment hub, supported by a transparent regulatory environment and a robust pipeline of high-quality developments that continue to draw both local and international capital.
Mohamad Sarhan, CEO and co-founder of Open Home Properties, noted that the new office reflects the company’s internal growth alongside the broader positive momentum within the local property sector. According to Sarhan, the market has evolved beyond simple investment potential; today’s buyers are prioritizing infrastructure, quality of life, and long-term value. He emphasized that the firm aims to position itself closer to clients as these market demands shift and intensify.
The strength of the market is evidenced by recent performance data, particularly on Yas Island. Hamza Alabdlat, co-founder and general manager of Open Home Properties, highlighted that the island remains a top-tier destination for investors, citing over Dh8.64 billion in real estate transactions recorded during the first half of 2026. This activity is largely driven by demand for waterfront living and lifestyle-oriented communities, which has bolstered the profile of major projects like the Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana.
Located on the Yas Canal near Yas Island, 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 integrate wellness and sports into daily life, featuring a dedicated training academy, fitness centers, cycling and running tracks, and extensive waterfront promenades. This project exemplifies the growing trend of incorporating globally recognized brands into residential developments to enhance long-term investment appeal.
To further incentivize buyers, Ohana Development has launched a flexible 40/60 payment plan for all units within the project, aiming to provide greater financial accessibility for prospective residents. As Abu Dhabi continues to attract world-class developments and a diverse pool of global investors, the combination of branded lifestyle communities and professional advisory services is setting new benchmarks for the region’s property market, cementing the capital’s status as a leader in sustainable, high-value real estate growth.
Further strengthening its appeal, Ohana Development recently introduced a new flexible summer offer 40/60 payment plan across all residential units, providing greater financial flexibility and making it easier for invest
Against this backdrop, Open Home Properties says the decision to expand was a natural step.
Designed around modern waterfront living, the development offers a mix of apartments, townhouses, and villas within a community focused on wellness, sports, and family living.
International brands are becoming an increasingly important part of residential developments, creating communities that offer not only premium homes but also distinctive lifestyles and stronger long-term investment value.
