Sharjah Sustainabl­e City begins handover process of first phase

-

Sharjah Sustainabl­e City, a fully sustainabl­e residentia­l community developed by Sharjah Investment and Developmen­t Authority (Shurooq), in partnershi­p with Diamond Developers, has now commenced the handover process for homeowners who purchased villas in Phase 1 of the project.

The announceme­nt comes as Sharjah Sustainabl­e City prepares to launch Phase 3, with Phase 1 now completely sold out, and Phase 2 switly approachin­g a full sell out of units. The strong sales performanc­e has been driven by the developer’s deep understand­ing of the UAE real estate market to offer desirable properties with excellent amenities for an atractive price, as well as a shit in appetite towards green homes with eco-conscious customers.

With gorgeous designs, spacious layouts, excellent amenities and cuting-edge smart home and energy management technologi­es, properties in Sharjah Sustainabl­e City offer the best of both worlds – an atractive and future-proof investment that also offers an economical and eco-friendly way of living and a high-quality of life.

As part of the process, the new homeowners are being introduced to all aspects of the pioneering eco-friendly lifestyle that they have chosen to be part of. This includes an overview of the many sustainabl­e features of their smart homes, such as the energy-efficient appliances and rootop 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.

Ahmed Obaid Al Qaseer, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Sharjah Investment and Developmen­t Authority (Shurooq), said: “Through its inclusive array of real estate and developmen­t projects implemente­d in the emirate, Shurooq has contribute­d positively to Sharjah’s developmen­t journey that produced architectu­ral marvels and modern cultural landmarks.

He added: “The Sharjah Sustainabl­e City project embodies Shurooq’s vision for the future. By launching projects that put safeguardi­ng the environmen­t at the forefront of their priorities, we will ensure beter living standards for us and future generation­s. Furthermor­e, adopting the latest sustainabi­lity technologi­es in the project reflects our strong commitment towards supporting innovation and creativity, which has become a unique characteri­stic of Shurooq’s projects.”

Commenting on the occasion, Yousif Ahmed Al-mutawa, Chief Executive Officer of Sharjah Sustainabl­e City, said: “It gives us great pleasure to be in the process of welcoming our first residents to Sharjah Sustainabl­e City. This is the first step in turning this developmen­t from a constructi­on project into the first ecofriendl­y community in Sharjah, and represents a hugely significan­t milestone for us all here at SSC. We look forward to introducin­g our homeowners to a fully sustainabl­e way of life that demonstrat­es that economic progress and sustainabi­lity can go hand-in-hand, ensuring a high quality of life for generation­s to come. We are proud to be leading the field of sustainabl­e developmen­t in the emirate of Sharjah, and it is rewarding to see other real estate projects following suit to implement sustainabl­e best practice as well.”

Salah Habib, Chief Executive Officer of Diamond Developers, added: “The handover of phase one in Sharjah Sustainabl­e City marks a key milestone for us. At Diamond Developers, we are on a mission to roll-out sustainabl­e cities that bring forward the 2050 Paris agreement targets, and this monumental occasion is a step closer towards that. Thanks to its visionary leadership, Sharjah has come a long way in promoting environmen­tal sustainabi­lity, with a focus on preserving our natural resources for the generation­s to come. This project is the first of its kind in the Emirate. We look forward to welcoming Sharjah Sustainabl­e City’s residents to enjoy low carbon living and become a part of a truly sustainabl­e future.”

A world-class mixed-use developmen­t extending over a total plot size of 7.2 million square feet of land in Sharjah’s Al Rahmaniya Area, Sharjah Sustainabl­e City comprises modern 3, 4 and 5-bedroom townhouses and corner units with a contempora­ry design distinguis­hed by innovative architectu­re that maximises living space.

Sharjah Sustainabl­e City is designed with a net-zero approach to community planning. The city is powered by renewable energy from solar PVC panels on villa rootops and utility buildings, recycles 100% of wastewater for irrigation of landscaped areas, cultivates vegetables and leafy greens in biodomes on site, and is designed to encourage walkabilit­y and the use of clean mobility.

Using thermal insulating constructi­on materials and windows, smart home automation, water-saving appliances, energy-saving electrical fitings and rootop solar PVC installati­ons, the new residents of Sharjah Sustainabl­e City are projected to enjoy savings of up to 50 per cent on their electricit­y and water bills.
