Arada said it has completed work on 5 key residential blocks in Naseej District – the creative hub of its US $9.5bn Aljada mega-community development in Sharjah – and has now begun the handover of these residential units within the district.
Each of the 482 homes in the 5 Sokoon buildings is close to an array of quality cultural, artistic and retail destinations, including Il Teatro, a landmark performing arts space that has been designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, said the developer in a statement.
With contemporary design and views of open courtyards and green spaces, the Sokoon buildings comprise 1-3 bedroom apartments with smart home features included as standard.
In addition to these amenities, Sokoon residents enjoy private access to gyms, swimming pools, children’s play areas and dedicated spaces for family barbecues, said the developer.
Naseej District also contains the Vida Aljada complex, which includes a hotel, branded residences and a range of exciting dining options. Featuring minimalist and contemporary design, Vida Aljada hosts high-end facilities and exemplary services.
Linking these 2 locations is a bustling piazza, a wide street with pedestrian crossings, that includes smaller shops, cafes, bookstores, fashion outlets and outdoor kiosks
Group CEO Ahmed Alkhoshaibi said, “This milestone reflects our continued focus on delivery and our ability to maintain momentum across one of the region’s largest and most established master-planned communities. We are entering a new phase of successive handovers at Aljada, including the completion of the Naseej District and the nearby Nasaq complex, as we move steadily towards full realisation of the master plan.”
With this Sokoon buildings completion, the overall number of Aljada’s finished residential units has now risen to more than 8,200.
In the coming weeks, Arada will also confirm the completion of the Vida Aljada hotel and branded residences complex, as well as the two Il Teatro Residences loft apartment buildings.
The 24m sqft Aljada mega-community is Sharjah’s biggest ever project and a transformational destination for the emirate.
In addition to numerous residential districts, Aljada is home to extensive retail, hospitality, entertainment, sporting, healthcare, educational and commercial amenities, all set within a green, walkable master plan, the developer stated.
“Aljada is now home to a rapidly growing population of more than 20,000 residents, and continues to provide a secure, stable and fully integrated environment where families can access everything they need for daily life,” said Alkhoshaibi.
“Our commitment remains unchanged: to deliver high-quality homes, on schedule, and to ensure that progress continues consistently, regardless of wider market conditions,” he concluded.
