Arada has finalised construction and commenced the handover of five new residential blocks in the Naseej District. Each of the 482 homes in the five Sokoon buildings will be close to a range of high quality cultural, artistic and retail destinations. This includes the Il Teatro, a landmark performing arts space which was designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando.
With contemporary design and views of open courtyards and green spaces, the Sokoon buildings comprise of one, two, and three bedroom apartments with smart home features included. In addition to these amenities, Sokoon residents have private access to gyms, swimming pools, children’s play areas and dedicated spaces for family barbecues.
The Naseej District also contains the Vida Aljada complex, which includes a hotel, branded residences and a range of restaurants. Showcasing minimalist and contemporary design, Vida Aljada encompasses high quality facilities and exemplary services. Coupling these two locations is a bustling piazza, a wide pedestrianised street that has smaller shops, cafes, bookstores, fashion outlets and outdoor kiosks.
“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.
“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. Our commitment remains unchanged: to deliver high-quality homes, on schedule, and to ensure that progress continues consistently, regardless of wider market conditions.”
Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO, Arada
Aljada’s overall number of finished residential units is over 8,200. It’s anticipated the master developer 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 in the coming weeks.
The 24m sq ft Aljada megacommunity is Sharjah’s largest ever project and a transformational destination for the Emirate. Aljada is home to extensive retail, hospitality, entertainment, sporting, healthcare, educational and commercial amenities, all set within a green, walkable master plan.
