Arada, a leading property developer in Sharjah, has announced the launch of Masaar, the developer’s third project, a mega community in the Al Juwaiza’a district of New Sharjah with a sales value of AED8 billion. 

 

The 19 million sq ft upscale project will include 4,000 villas and townhouses in total, all set in eight gated districts linked by Masaar’s signature feature, a lushly landscaped and walkable ‘green spine’, said the statement from Arada.

 

Construction on Masaar will begin in the second quarter, and the first homes are scheduled to be handed over in the first quarter of 2023, it added. 

 

Masaar (path in Arabic) has been carefully designed to enable its residents to transform their lives by encouraging healthy living in harmony with nature. 

 

Featuring over 50,000 trees, Masaar’s green spine will be activated by footpaths and a range of different sporting facilities, all hosted in a safe, serene and nature-filled environment, stated the developer. 

 

Families residing in Masaar will enjoy a peaceful yet world-class living experience, with acres of green space allowing for forest walks, picnics, running, cycling or meditation, it added.

 

Announcing the launch, Chairman Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi said: "Masaar offers a path to the ultimate lifestyle transformation, and a major addition to Sharjah’s residential landscape. It is a serene, exclusive and forested environment that offers all the comforts of a modern urban district, giving you the best of both worlds."

 

One of Masaar’s main attractions will be a five-kilometre looped and continuous two-lane cycling track that will be able to cater to leisure riders as well as professionals, he stated. 

 

Residents and visitors from outside the community will be able to ride through lush woodlands, with resting spots and healthy cafes located adjacent to the track, he added. 

 

Vice Chairman Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal said: "Masaar has been designed to make its residents happier and healthier, while at the same time providing substantial benefits for the environment. 

 

"The abundance of green space, and an active lifestyle will also help to reduce the stresses of urban life, especially at a time when the importance of safety and security has never been higher. We believe that by uniting people with nature, this community will set a new standard for living in the UAE," he noted.

 

According to him, each home at Masaar has been designed to bring the nature-filled surroundings inside the house, while ensuring the privacy of its residents. 

 

"Characterised by straight lines that complement the organic landscape around the home, the architecture of each unit has been designed to provide a continuous flow between outdoors and indoors, using floor-to-ceiling glass. Smart features, including remote access, climate and lighting control will be a standard feature of every Masaar unit. Every home also has direct access to leafy parks and will also incorporate natural features such as trees into its design. The community will be built to the very highest construction standards, catering to smart and sustainable living," he added. 

 

Sales for the first district to be offered to the public, Sendian, (oak tree in Arabic) began today (January 31). Sendian consists of 445 homes, ranging in size from two-bedroom townhouses to five-bedroom Sendian Park Villas, all located close to the leisure and entertainment zone in the heart of Masaar. 

 

Construction on the Sendian district will begin in June this year, with the first homes scheduled to be handed over in the first quarter of 2023. The entire Masaar master plan is expected to take seven years to complete.-TradeArabia News Service
