Al Zahia breaks ground on new Sharjah residential neighbourhood

With this launch, Al Zahia has moved one step closer to completion of Sharjah’s premier lifestyle destination.

Scheduled for completion in 2022, Al Yasmeen is designed for discerning families and young couples that demand luxury and tranquillity from the place they call home, said the statement from Al Zahia.

 

United Engineering Construction Company (Unec), which boasts a portfolio of premium developments in the UAE, will oversee the construction of Al Yasmeen, ensuring the neighbourhood lives up to the high expectations placed on every Majid Al Futtaim community.

 

The neighbourhood will comprise a mix of two and three-bedroom villas and townhouses nestled within lush green surroundings - complementing the other premium neighbourhoods within the masterplan, where more than 800 homes in the Al Jouri and Al Narjis neighbourhoods have already been handed over to the families of Al Zahia, and homes in Al Lilac are currently under construction, it added.

Shadi Al Azzeh, Al Zahia Projects Head at Majid Al Futtaim Properties, said: "Al Yasmeen will be an exciting demonstration of Al Zahia’s unique philosophy of creating memorable spaces."

"It has been crafted to inspire social connections and is set against a backdrop of relaxing green spaces, reinforcing the community’s position as a one-of-a-kind destination. It will be a place for families to grow, socialise, and thrive - one part of the wider Al Zahia community that offers everything a family could need. Breaking ground is a proud moment for us, and it means we are one step closer to creating more great moments for the people of Al Zahia," stated Al Azzeh.

Sharjah Holding CEO Walid Al Hashimi said: "Sharjah is full of ambition, and we’ve been sure to instil the same across Al Zahia. Contrasting the emirate’s urban energy with luxurious modern homes, Al Yasmeen is the next piece in the puzzle."

 

"The neighbourhood redefines the modern living experience while reflecting Al Zahia’s commitment to respectfully upholding Sharjah’s rich culture and traditions. Al Yasmeen is also yet another investment in the community, being a place that will empower residents to live the fulfilling lives they deserve. We’re pleased to push on with our partners toward Al Zahia’s completion in 2023," he stated.

On completion, the entire Al Zahia development will include a total of 3,700 homes. Al Zahia is located off Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and directly on University City Road.

 

To date, 55 per cent of the project has been sold, with 800 families already in residence.

Like the wider Al Zahia community, Al Yasmeen neighbourhood will reflect the traditional values of Sharjah in a progressive, welcoming community. Its homes will be nestled among six themed sensorial parks, each designed to stimulate and rejuvenate residents.

The exclusive-to-residents Clubhouse will provide resort-style living and a place to socialise and unwind, while a direct connection to the upcoming City Centre Al Zahia — the northern emirates’ largest mall — will ensure ultimate convenience.

Al Yasmeen also upholds Al Zahia’s status as the first development in the UAE and the Middle East to be awarded the Breeam Communities Interim Certification - a measure of the community’s unwavering commitment to sustainable design and development.-TradeArabia News Service
