Sequoia

Sequoia is a collection of 14 villas developed by Arada within Tilal, a master-planned district positioned on the Sharjah–Dubai corridor. Spread across two buildings and priced from AED 3.14 million, the project is currently under construction with completion scheduled for December 2025.

# A low-density release inside a forested master plan

Tilal sits in the eastern reaches of the Sharjah–Dubai urban belt, developed by Arada as a large-scale community anchored around green infrastructure. Sequoia occupies a quiet position within this broader plan, comprising just 14 villas across two structures. That scale is notable. Most Dubai-adjacent launches run to hundreds of units; Sequoia's inventory is small enough that the project reads more as a limited residential release than a conventional development.

The surrounding master plan incorporates over 50,000 trees across a landscaped green spine, which gives the address a visual and physical character distinct from the glass-and-steel density of central Dubai. The architecture is modern in orientation, though specific facade details are not yet published.

# Four- and six-bedroom villas, with significant floor areas

The unit mix runs to four- and six-bedroom configurations. Four-bedroom villas begin at 2,661 sq ft and extend to 4,402 sq ft, priced at AED 3.14 million and AED 5.82 million respectively. Six-bedroom villas reach 9,235 sq ft, with prices ranging from approximately AED 9.45 million to AED 10.19 million depending on plot and position.

The six-bedroom footprint, at over 9,200 sq ft, is generous by any regional standard. For context, that floor area is comparable to a substantial townhouse in Jumeirah or a mid-tier villa on Palm Jumeirah, delivered here at a materially lower price per square foot.

Residences are sold unfurnished. The service charge is fixed at AED 3 per sq ft annually.

# Outdoor amenities designed around an active daily routine

The amenities list reflects the community's green positioning. Residents have access to running and cycling tracks, an outdoor tennis court, sports courts, a swimming pool, gymnasium, yoga and meditation areas, and designated picnic spots. Kids' play areas and parks complete the picture.

# Facilities oriented toward health and open space

The forested landscape is the defining feature here rather than a secondary selling point. Walking routes and cycle paths run through the green spine, and the proximity of Nasama Central Park, four minutes by car, extends that access further. This is not a rooftop pool and lobby-lounge proposition. It is a community built around outdoor living.

# Road connections and the surrounding district

Dubai International Airport is 37 km from the development, approximately 32 minutes by car. Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa are 44 km away, around 41 minutes. Palm Jumeirah is a 51-minute drive at 62 km.

For daily requirements, Tilal Mall is under four minutes away. Sharjah Mosque is seven minutes, and Sharjah National Park is an 18-minute drive at 22 km. The location sits closer to Sharjah's civic infrastructure than to Dubai's, which is a practical consideration for buyers whose routines centre on the northern emirates rather than central Dubai.

# Who this suits, and where it sits in the current market

Sequoia addresses a buyer who wants large-format villa space at a price point that Dubai's more central districts no longer accommodate. A 9,235 sq ft six-bedroom villa at AED 9.5 million represents a price-per-square-foot well below equivalent product in Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills or Damac Hills. The trade-off is location: this is Sharjah-side living, with commute times to central Dubai that buyers should factor honestly into their decision.

For GCC-based families, European second-home buyers prioritising space over address prestige, or investors positioned on the longer development curve of Tilal as a master community, the numbers warrant serious consideration. The low unit count reduces resale competition. The December 2025 completion date, with construction at an early stage, gives buyers time on a typical phased payment plan.
