Sharjah, United Arab Emirates - Arada has completed construction and commenced the handover of five new residential blocks in Naseej District, the creative hub of its AED35 billion Aljada megacommunity in Sharjah. Each of the 482 homes in the five Sokoon buildings is close to an array of high-quality cultural, artistic and retail destinations, including Il Teatro, a landmark performing arts space that has been designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando.

With contemporary design and views of open courtyards and green spaces, the Sokoon buildings comprise one-, two- and three-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.

Featuring minimalist and contemporary design, Vida Aljada hosts high-end facilities and exemplary services.
