• Freehold and 100-year leasehold offering continue to drive sales for the first-of-its-kind project

• Unique investment opportunities to be showcased at Cityscape Abu Dhabi 2015

Sharjah - Tilal Properties today announced its flagship development, Tilal City - the first-of-its-kind mixed use community in Sharjah - has registered sales of 70 per cent of land plots within  two of its key zones.

Tilal Properties, a joint venture between Sharjah Asset Management and Eskan Real Estate Development LLC, seeks to lead the evolution of Sharjah's real estate sector.

Launched in November 2014, Tilal City comprises 1855 land plots, offering the opportunity to UAE residents to buy or lease land and develop properties in Sharjah for the first time ever. The development allows investors to build for sale, leasing and personal use. Non-Arab expats can purchase land plots on a 100-year leasehold basis within the scheme, with freehold land plots available for GCC nationals and UAE's Arab residents.

Split into five zones (A-E), the masterplanned community will occupy an area of 25 million square feet and provide high-quality, affordable housing for 55,000 - 65,000 residents in apartments, villas and townhouses.

To date, 70 per cent of all available plots in zones A and C - which are the first two zones to be handed over in end-2016 - have been sold. The new flexibility in owning land has been a key driver behind investors' interest.

"Tilal City is the first development of its kind in Sharjah to present such a broad range of investmentopportunities,"said Khalifa Al Shaibani, Director General of Tilal Properties. "Buyers can choose to build their own home, build to rent, or invest in a commercial or retail property. The high sales volumes we have seen in zones A and C confirms the importance of opening up the project's investment opportunities to UAE residents and the position of Sharjah as an attractive real estate investment area."

An exclusive shopping mall will take shape as the development's anchor facility along with a central park. Adjacent to the mall and the central park area, zone A is connected to the rest of the development through vibrant public gardens lined with shops, restaurants and cafes. Comprising 296 apartment buildings, the land within zone A has also been earmarked for the development of three schools, two community centres and a mosque among other community infrastructure.

Zone C - the largest of the five areas - comprises 673 residential villas with the option to build townhouses, semi-detached or detached villas. Alongside the residential accommodation, zone C features parks and a mosque, in addition to educational and community facilities.

Strategically located on Emirates Road, Tilal City is close to the Al Dhaid interchange, just 10 kilometres from Sharjah's International Airport and within convenient commuting distance to nearby Emirates, with Dubai only 2km away.

Tilal Properties willshowcaseTilal City at Cityscape Abu Dhabi 2015, from 21 - 23 April at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. 

The event will be attended by Tilal Properties' senior executives, as the company looks to promote the City's unique investment opportunities to regional developers, investors, as well as infrastructure and utilities providers.

"Cityscape Abu Dhabi provides us with a valuable platform to highlight the revolutionary impact that Tilal City is having on Sharjah's property market," added Khalifa Al Shaibani.
