The Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) has signed an agreement with SANAM Group to develop a new K-12 school in Sharjah Sustainable City.
The project, with an investment value expected to reach up to $50 million over the coming years, will be developed on a 29,275-square-metre plot owned by Shurooq in Sharjah Sustainable City, located in Um Fanain / Al Ruqa Al Hamra.
The agreement was signed by Yousif Al Mutawa, Chief Real Estate Officer of Shurooq, and Dr. Sulaiman Tareq Al Abduljader, Vice Chairman and CEO of SANAM Group.
Yousif Al Mutawa said that, “This agreement reflects Shurooq’s commitment to developing projects that respond to the practical needs of Sharjah’s communities while creating long-term value from strategic land assets. Education is one of the most important components of a complete residential community, and this school will support families, enhance quality of life, and contribute to the development of a more connected and liveable environment in Sharjah Sustainable City.”
He further noted that, “Our partnership with SANAM Group’s education platform reflects the importance of working with specialised private sector partners that bring long-term vision and operational expertise. The project also reinforces Sharjah’s ability to attract serious investment into sectors that support human development, community growth, and sustainable urban planning.”
Dr. Sulaiman Tareq Al Abduljader noted that, “Our strategic partnership with Shurooq marks a pivotal step in advancing SANAM’s long-term vision for sustainable education investments that meet the aspirations of students across the GCC. Sharjah’s position as a leading hub for sustainable urban and educational development makes it an ideal destination for projects of this nature.”
“Together, we look forward to developing an integrated educational environment that enables academic excellence and is defined by innovation, sustainability, and community engagement, while delivering sustainable value for future generations,” Dr. Al Abduljader added.
The new school will add key education infrastructure to Sharjah Sustainable City, one of the emirate’s leading residential communities designed around sustainability, family living, and integrated services, as per the statement.
