Arada has completed construction and begun handover of five new residential buildings in Naseej District, the creative hub of its $9.53 billion (AED35 billion) Aljada megacommunity in Sharjah, marking another major milestone in the development’s steady progress.
The five Sokoon buildings comprise 482 homes, all located near a wide range of cultural, artistic and retail destinations, including Il Teatro, a landmark performing arts venue designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando.
Featuring contemporary architecture and views of landscaped courtyards and green spaces, Sokoon offers one bedroom, two bedroom and three-bedroom apartments equipped with smart home technology as standard.
Naseej District is home to the Vida Aljada complex, which includes a hotel, branded residences and a variety of dining options. Designed with a minimalist, modern aesthetic, Vida Aljada offers premium facilities and high-quality services. Residents also benefit from private access to gyms, swimming pools, children’s play areas and dedicated family barbecue spaces.
Connecting these destinations is a lively piazza, a pedestrian-friendly boulevard lined with boutique shops, cafés, bookstores, fashion outlets and outdoor kiosks.
With the completion of the five Sokoon buildings, the total number of finished residential units in Aljada has surpassed 8,200. In the coming weeks, the developer is also expected to announce the completion of the Vida Aljada hotel and branded residences, along with the two Il Teatro Residences loft apartment buildings.

“This milestone reflects our continued focus on delivery and our ability to maintain momentum across one of the region’s largest and most established master-planned communities. We are entering a new phase of successive handovers at Aljada, including the completion of the Naseej District and the nearby Nasaq complex, as we move steadily towards full realisation of the master plan. Aljada is now home to a rapidly growing population of more than 20,000 residents, and continues to provide a secure, stable and fully integrated environment where families can access everything they need for daily life. Our commitment remains unchanged: to deliver high-quality homes, on schedule, and to ensure that progress continues consistently, regardless of wider market conditions.”
Larger than Monaco, the 24-million-square-foot Aljada megacommunity is Sharjah’s biggest ever project and a transformational destination for the Emirate. In addition to numerous residential districts, Aljada is home to extensive retail, hospitality, entertainment, sporting, healthcare, educational and commercial amenities, all set within a green, walkable master plan.
