Arada has awarded two major contracts totalling $125.23M to build 430 villas and townhouses within the first residential district at Masaar, Sharjah’s forested megaproject.
Featuring 4,000 villas and townhouses, Masaar is divided into eight gated districts, all set in a woodland and nature-inspired master plan. Valued at AED 228M, the contract to build 142 villas in the Sendian district of Masaar was won by Kuwait’s Mohammed Abdulmohsen Al-Kharafi & Sons (Al-Kharafi), one of the most experienced contractors in the regional construction industry.
“These contracts are a key moment in Masaar’s journey to completion, and we have agreed an accelerated construction programme with the contractor in order to deliver Sendian rapidly, efficiently and to an exceptional level of quality,” Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, the Group CEO of Arada, said.
The next milestone at Masaar will be the opening of the Masaar Experience Center and its surrounding precinct in June, which will serve as a focal point not just for the community but for the nearby Suyoh district as well.
When finished, the space will include a children’s adventure playground, a skate park, an outdoor amphitheatre and Zad, the popular food district already present in Arada’s sister community Aljada. In addition, the landscaped and forested precinct will also feature the hub for the 13-kilometre cycling network in Masaar, which contains rental, retail and repair facilities.
