UAE developer Arada said it has completed work on Nest, a AED700-million ($191 million) premium student housing cluster based within Sharjah’s key lifestyle community, Aljada. It features 2,473 fully furnished dormitories spread over 12 apartment blocks.
A milestone in terms of security, comfort and ease of use, Nest allows students to live, study and relax all within the confines of a community with world-class facilities that have carefully been designed to allow learning to flourish, said a statement from Arada.
Situated on a 380,000 sq ft plot located next to Aljada’s business district, Nest is a smart technology-enabled cluster that sets a new standard for student housing regionally, it stated.
Strategically located, it is just five minutes’ away from one of the Middle East’s fastest-growing education hubs, Sharjah’s University City.
According to Arada, each Nest block contains laundry rooms, shared TV rooms and study areas, while different parts of the community have been allocated for men and women, ensuring comfort and privacy for every tenant.
Nest’s lengthy list of facilities includes an art studio, a music hall, a library, a state-of-the-art running track that surrounds the complex, an amphitheatre and a central dining hall, while tenants also have access to male- and female-only swimming pools, gyms and study areas, it added.
Group CEO Ahmed Alkhoshaibi said: "Nest is an impeccably designed community that allows students an engaging and inspiring environment within the surroundings of Sharjah’s most exciting lifestyle community."
"So much more than a place to sleep and study, Nest residents benefit not only from incredible amenities within the complex, but from the facilities in the rest of the Aljada master plan as well," he stated.
"With the completion of Nest, we have now completed 3,555 units in Aljada as a whole, following the completion of the first residential phase of the master community in April this year," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
