Aljada Sharjah: What do we know so far?
When Aljada was launched in 2018, it was seen as a landmark moment for the emirate of Sharjah. Despite the pandemic enforced delays, the good news is that the project is moving forward at rapid speed and is now about 30% complete. Here’s all you need to know about Aljada Sharjah, a megaproject that will help elevate the image of Sharjah in many ways.
ALL ABOUT ALJADA SHARJAH
The Aljada development project, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, in Sharjah has garnered a lot of attention. The mega project is being built over a 2.2 square kilometre area and will have four hotels, a business district, a mall, three schools, an entertainment complex and tree-lined avenues. The Aljada Sharjah location, which is a vital part of the project’s appeal, is close to the Sharjah International Airport and gives visitors easy access to the E311 motorway.
DEVELOPMENT THUS FAR AT ALJADA SHARJAH
As mentioned, 30% of the Aljada Sharjah project is complete. In July 2023, as many as 6000 residential units, the initial phase of Madar, a school, first prime retail space and student housing community of 12 buildings have been built. By the end of the year, the residency numbers are set to hit 12,000 in this self-contained city.
Plus, it is fast becoming the go-to spot for fun and leisure in the emirate. In 2020, Madar Entertainment Complex opened and in the first year saw an audience of more than a million. So far, cafes, an outdoor cinema, restaurants, supermarkets, a farmer’s market, bike paths, and a skate park have opened up.
WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
As mentioned, the Aljada development project in Sharjah is still a work in progress. For instance, planning for a mall is in the works and construction is scheduled for 2024. Few details have emerged so far but the buzz is that we will be seeing something new.
Furthermore, Sharjah’s biggest gym is set to open here. Work is ongoing and it is a matter of months before residents will be able to benefit from this facility. The covered area of the gym would be over 6,000 square metres and it will have an elevated running track. Moreover, a trampoline park will open alongside.
Four hotels will be built here including popular hospitality brands such as Rove, Address and Vida. Work on the central business district is likely to begin in 2024. It will have 40 buildings.
One of the most talked about features is the “green spine”. The plan for having a dedicated area with trees and shaded paths, spaces for outdoor meetings and green terraces has caught the eye.
