Ohana Development builds across two main categories: large coastal villas and townhouses in gated master communities such as Ohana by The Sea and Manchester City Yas Residences, and high-rise or mid-rise branded apartments and penthouses in partnerships with Elie Saab and Jacob & Co.

In its villa communities, buyers can often customise interior finishes and layouts. Because specifications and inclusions differ between apartment and villa releases, always check the exact schedule of finishes for your unit.

Ohana Development focuses on waterfront plots in Abu Dhabi's investment zones, where foreign nationals can buy freehold property, and pairs those locations with international sports, fashion and jewellery brands.

Before reserving an off-plan unit, check the escrow registration, construction milestones, service charge estimates and the handover clause in the sale and purchase agreement. Contact Ahyan Real Estate to review available units and payment plans across Ohana Development's portfolio.
