Arada has welcomed the first residents to Vida Residences Aljada following the completion of the four-building Vida Aljada complex, which combines homes, a hotel and a social environment in one setting in Sharjah.
The project is the first branded residences scheme in Sharjah.
It is located on East Boulevard in Naseej District – the hub of the Aljada mega community – and offers lifestyle, hospitality, dining and retail to residents, guests and visitors.
Over 8,800 homes now delivered at Aljada as Vida Residences welcome first residents
The delivery of 579 units in the complex means that more than 8,800 homes have now been completed at the AED35 billion Aljada megaproject.
The four-building development comprises 255 branded residences, 149 serviced apartments and the 175-room Vida Aljada Sharjah hotel with Emaar Hospitality Group. Together, the buildings form a setting rooted in Vida’s philosophy of living, where simplicity, energy and connection shape the experience.
The buildings include one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, as well as three four-bedroom penthouses. The development has been designed to foster a sense of ease, openness and connection, with interiors and transitions between spaces reflecting a way of living in line with Vida’s approach to lifestyle hospitality.
Residents have access to amenities including fitness and wellness spaces, pools for adults and children, and areas designed for both solitude and socialising. Smart home features come as standard.
“We are committed to delivering 4,000 homes as well as key supporting infrastructure across our communities this year, and the handover of Sharjah’s first ever branded residences scheme is an important part of that journey. Vida Residences Aljada are the most premium homes completed so far in our flagship megaproject, and these units have already delivered significant capital appreciation to our buyers,” Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada said in a statement.
“In Emaar Hospitality, we have a partner that is totally aligned with our vision of quality, service and efficiency and we look forward to working with them as we near the opening of the Vida Aljada Sharjah hotel in the coming months,” he added.
The Vida Aljada buildings will host a selection of dining outlets, which are opening in the coming months alongside cafés, studios and boutiques. These venues will add to more than 100 dining and retail experiences on East Boulevard, delivering a lifestyle and hospitality offering to residents, visitors and families from across Sharjah.
The serviced apartments and branded residences both include 24/7 concierge support, bellman services and monthly maintenance for fire and life safety systems.
The serviced apartments at Vida Aljada Sharjah feature benefits as standard, including housekeeping on a weekly basis, maintenance support, Wi-Fi in lobby areas and Kids Club access for up to one hour per day at no cost.
Residents can also make use of à la carte options, such as in-room dining, valet parking and car washing, babysitting, laundry and training sessions.
The centrepiece of the Naseej District will be Il Teatro, a performing arts space designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, situated behind the Vida buildings.
Located near University City, Sharjah Airport and the future Etihad Rail station, Aljada spans 24 million square feet and features more than 25,000 homes. With sports, wellness, hospitality, office and education amenities, as well as 2.7 million square feet of green space, the community is home to 20,000 people.
