Sharjah Holding, a JV between Majid Al Futtaim Properties and Sharjah Asset Management, has announced a new neighbourhood in Sharjah’s Al Zahia’s master planned development. Uptown Al Zahia is set to open in 2022 and is to be home to 700 families.

The project features two clusters ‘Woroud’ and ‘Zohour’ and will offer homes ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments. The buildings within the neighbourhood are designed to maximise privacy and are said to offer modern, light-filled plans with custom finishes and contemporary finishes.

The neighbourhood will feature a number of amenities as well as direct pedestrian access to City Centre Al Zahia according to a statement.

“Set to elevate community living standards in the emirate, Uptown Al Zahia offers a unique place to live, work, and play. Today marks an important milestone in our journey as we celebrate the launch of our newest neighbourhood and we look forward to welcoming more families into our exclusive community that inspires people to celebrate life to its fullest, every day,” said Shadi Al Azzeh, project head of Al Zahia at Majid Al Futtaim – Communities.

According to the developer, Uptown Al Zahia adheres to the same levels of sustainability that awarded the master planned development the Breeam Communities Interim Assessment Certificate.

Sharjah Holding CEO Walid Al Hashimi added, “Uptown Al Zahia builds upon the emirate’s rich cultural and environmental heritage. We are excited to bring to market yet another innovative destination set within a progressive, sustainable, green community.”
