Aysha Residences 1 and 2

Aysha Residences 1 and 2 sit on Maryam Island in Sharjah, developed by Eagle Hills, offering two-bedroom semi-furnished apartments across a pair of six-storey buildings positioned directly opposite the island's waterfront promenade.

# The buildings and their position on Maryam Island

Maryam Island occupies a stretch of the Al Khan Lagoon in downtown Sharjah, connected to Dubai and the northern emirates via Al Taawun and Al Ittihad Roads. Eagle Hills has been building out this master-planned address as a mixed-use waterfront destination, and Aysha Residences represents one of the later residential phases within it.

The two buildings are low-rise by Gulf standards. Six storeys keeps the profile in proportion with the promenade and park fabric around it, and the architecture draws loosely from regional vernacular: a facade in neutral beige and brown tones, distinctive tile detailing, a palette that reads restrained rather than assertive. It is not a tower competing for skyline visibility. The proposition is proximity to water and green space rather than altitude.

Maryam Park sits 350 metres away. That is walkable in the cooler months, and it matters more than most distance figures in a market where parks are often decorative rather than functional.

# Residences: layout, scale and specification

The available configuration is a two-bedroom apartment of 2,141 sq ft, priced at AED 2,065,888. At that size, the unit sits at the larger end of what Dubai and Sharjah developers typically label a two-bedroom, suggesting generous living and dining proportions or substantial balcony allocation.

Finishes follow a coherent specification. Flooring throughout living areas, kitchens and bedrooms uses 600x600mm porcelain tiles. Bathrooms feature gypsum ceilings, under-counter basins and deck-mounted single-lever taps. The master bathroom includes a shower with glass partition; the secondary bathroom has an acrylic bathtub. Kitchens are fitted with MDF cabinetry in a laminated finish, reconstituted stone countertops and a porcelain splashback. Doors and wardrobes use industrial wood with a laminate finish.

Semi-furnished means the shell and fixed elements are in place. Buyers bring their own furniture, which suits those with specific preferences rather than those wanting a turnkey rental investment.

# Amenities on site and along the promenade

The building facilities cover the essentials without excess: a swimming pool, a gym, a kids' pool and a children's playground. Nothing here is unexpected for a mid-scale residential project, but the site's relationship to the waterfront promenade extends the amenity offer considerably. The promenade runs directly opposite the buildings, providing access to the lagoon edge, dining, retail and open space that function as an extension of daily life rather than a separate destination.

Service charges are quoted at 10 to 11 AED per sq ft annually, which on a 2,141 sq ft unit translates to roughly AED 21,410 to AED 23,551 per year. Buyers should factor that into yield calculations from the outset.

# Connections: Sharjah address, Dubai proximity

Al Khan Open Beach is 1.9 km from the island. Dubai International Airport is 11.6 km away, which under ordinary traffic conditions is a 15 to 20-minute drive. Victoria International School is 3 km out, relevant for families considering this as a primary residence. Nesto Mall at 2.4 km provides everyday retail.

The cross-emirate position is the defining locational characteristic. Sharjah pricing applies, but Dubai infrastructure is close enough to use regularly. For buyers who work or travel through Dubai but find its freehold market increasingly expensive at equivalent sizes, Maryam Island occupies a coherent middle ground.

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

Completion is scheduled for Q1 2026, with construction ongoing. The single listed unit and its fixed price point suggest limited remaining inventory rather than a wide launch, which changes the buying dynamic: this is a late-stage acquisition rather than an off-plan entry at formation pricing.

At AED 2,065,888 for 2,141 sq ft, the per-square-foot rate sits below comparable waterfront product in Dubai's established neighbourhoods. For an international buyer prioritising space, a lagoon-facing address and manageable service costs, the arithmetic is worth examining carefully. The profile fits owner-occupiers from the GCC who want a Sharjah base with easy Dubai access, or European and Asian buyers seeking a winter residence at a size that Dubai's equivalent budget would struggle to deliver.
