Sharjah, UAE, 15 January 2024: Sharjah Sharjah Sustainable City, a sustainable residential community developed by Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) in partnership with Diamond Developers, has commenced the handover process for homeowners who purchased villas in the second phase of the project.
A pioneering mixed-use community in Sharjah that meets the highest standards of social, environmental, and economic sustainability, Sharjah Sustainable City extends over an area of 825,000 square feet in the Al Rahmaniyah area. The announcement of the handover for the second phase follows an overwhelming response to Sharjah Sustainable City’s fully sold out first three phases and strong sales demand for the final phase of the iconic project.
The strong sales performance of Sharjah Sustainable City has been primarily driven by the incredible value proposition offered by the community at a time when eco-conscious living has gained public traction – representing a leap for future cities in the region, with villas powered by rooftop solar panels, a waste-to-energy biogas plant, electric shuttles for internal mobility and the facility to grow its own vegetables and greens through vertical farming. The sustainable villas of Sharjah Sustainable City also reflect a deep understanding of the UAE real estate market and offer future-proof properties with excellent amenities at an attractive price for buyers and investors.
As part of the handover process, new homeowners at Sharjah Sustainable City are being introduced to all aspects of the eco-friendly lifestyle that they have proudly chosen to be part of – including an overview of the sustainable features of their smart homes, such as the energy-efficient appliances and rooftop solar PVC panels, as well as a comprehensive guide on how to minimise their energy and water consumption, and reduce and recycle waste in the community.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Yousif Ahmed Al-Mutawa, Chief Executive Officer of Sharjah Sustainable City, said: “We are thrilled to welcome the second batch of proud residents to Sharjah Sustainable City and a part of a truly sustainable future, marking a brand new chapter in the growth of an eco-friendly community. As the first fully integrated and sustainable development in the emirate, Sharjah Sustainable City aims to instill a fully sustainable way of life that demonstrates that economic progress and sustainability can go hand-in-hand, and we look forward to introducing our new homeowners to this fulfilling and rewarding lifestyle. This significant milestone is a testament to the trust that our customers have bestowed on us, and as the remarkable success of our villas in the sold-out phases of the project demonstrates, the appetite for eco-conscious homes at Sharjah Sustainable City seems to be only rising. In this community, we not only ensure a high quality of life for generations to come, but we are also proud to have set a benchmark for sustainable development in the region.”
The villas at Sharjah Sustainable City are designed in a unique architecture and configured in a variety of layouts, creating inspiring opportunities to minimise the community’s carbon footprint. By using thermal insulating construction materials and windows, smart home automation, water-saving appliances, energy-saving electrical fittings and rooftop solar PVC installations, the villas at Sharjah Sustainable City are projected to help its residents enjoy savings of up to 50% on their electricity and water bills.
New residents moving in for the second phase of the villa community will also discover how environmental sustainability is at the forefront of its social areas, including the Green Spine that runs through the centre of the community and supports vertical farming, reusing water for irrigation, and a waste-to-energy plant. In addition, the community encourages an active lifestyle through world-class amenities such as cycling and jogging tracks, green parks and playgrounds, swimming pools and health clinics.
