ARADA unveils AED24bn largest real estate project in Sharjah
UAE-based developer, ARADA, launched Aljada, a master-planned destination, covering over 2.2 sqkm that is set to become Sharjahs largest ever mixed-use development project.
Unveiled by HH Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, Aljada is located on the last major plot of undeveloped land in the heart of the emirate.
Delivered in phases starting from 2019, construction on Aljada will begin the first quarter of 2018 and the entire project is expected to be completed by 2025. Aljada is an all-encompassing district that comprises considerable retail, leisure and entertainment options, in addition to a wide range of residential and commercial offerings, such as a dedicated business park.
The Aljada masterplan by ARADA is designed with walkability and wide green spaces in mind, allowing residents, workers, and visitors the ability to live, work, play and be entertained within an all-inclusive and self-sustained precinct.
Aljadas entertainment and leisure precinct, the Central Hub, will be a major draw for tourists and residents in its own right. The Central Hub will be anchored by a showpiece musical fountain display, situated in a beautifully designed urban piazza, populated with an array of cafes and restaurants. Among the Central Hubs other attractions will be the largest childrens adventure and discovery complex in the Northern Emirates, alongside skate parks, an extreme sports centre, and indoor and outdoor entertainment.
Upon completion, Aljada is projected to play host to a total of population of around 70,000. The community will contain two linear parks, each 2.2 km long, that stretch the entire length of the project, helping to promote an active, healthy lifestyle and giving every resident the opportunity to enjoy lush green spaces only a few minutes walk away from their front door. In addition, two wide tree-lined boulevards totaling 4.4 km in length and featuring carefully curated retail and F&B offerings, will provide a vibrant and busy connection to every district in Aljada.
ARADAs chairman, HE Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, said: Aljada reflects ARADAs unwavering
commitment to contribute to the Sharjah leaderships vision by creating unique urban communities with
ample green spaces. We want to offer residents and investors upscale living experiences that are currently are currently unavailable in the market and ensure a better life for everyone who visits, lives, or works in Aljada. We are confident that this development will raise interest in Sharjah even further while strengthening its position as a secure and sought-after investment destination. Aljada also seeks to attract businesses looking to establish their base out of Sharjah, the UAEs newest booming economic hub and a thriving business-friendly environment.
HRH Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal, vice chairman of ARADA, said: Aljada is a project that stays true to its roots; it embodies the heritage of the city that lies around it while looking forward to Sharjahs future. With design elements that draw inspiration from Sharjahs oldest neighborhoods to environmentally friendly building standards, Aljada really does represent the best of both worlds.
