Citrine Residence

Citrine Residence is a ten-storey apartment building on Maryam Island, Sharjah, developed by Eagle Hills and scheduled for completion in February 2027. Part of a shared-podium scheme alongside the neighbouring Topaz tower, it delivers 123 homes across a waterfront masterplan positioned at the edge of the Arabian Sea.

# The tower and its setting within Maryam Island

Maryam Island sits in downtown Sharjah, a district that has attracted serious infrastructure investment over the past decade. Eagle Hills, the Abu Dhabi-based developer behind projects in Belgrade, Amman and Bahrain, is the master developer here, and Citrine Residence forms one leg of a dual-tower composition connected by a shared podium that incorporates parking across two levels.

The building reads as a mid-rise rather than a statement skyscraper. At ten storeys, it belongs to the lower-density, promenade-adjacent typology that defines the island's residential character. The promenade runs directly alongside, with retail, cafés and landscaped outdoor space creating the kind of street-level activation that most Dubai satellite projects still struggle to deliver.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The available data points to three-bedroom apartments as the primary unit type on offer, ranging in size from 1,765 sq ft to 2,024 sq ft. Pricing across the recorded units sits between AED 2,670,888 and AED 2,839,888, placing the project firmly in the mid-to-upper bracket for the Sharjah waterfront market.

Every apartment includes a private balcony. Select units carry waterfront views; others look toward the landscaped pool deck at podium level.

# Specification notes

Interiors are unfurnished. Kitchens are fitted with base and overhead cabinetry in laminated MDF with solid-surface countertops and glass splashbacks. Bathrooms and kitchens use gypsum ceilings; living areas and bedrooms take cement plaster with painted finish. Balustrades combine glass panels with powder-coated metal rails, and all windows are double-glazed aluminium frames. The specification sits at a functional, mid-market standard rather than the bespoke-finish territory of Dubai's prime segment.

Service charges are projected at 10 to 11 AED per sq ft annually, reasonable for a waterfront address with shared amenity infrastructure.

# Amenities within the development

Citrine Residence's amenity list is compact: a gym, separate adult and children's pools, and a dedicated children's play area. The podium deck houses the pool facilities, set within landscaped surrounds that face the water.

The broader Maryam Island masterplan extends the offer considerably, with the promenade's retail and dining providing the day-to-day lifestyle layer that the building itself does not need to replicate internally.

# Sharjah location with direct access to Dubai

Maryam Island connects to Al Taawun Road and Al Ittihad Road, the two arteries that link Sharjah to Dubai and the northern emirates. Dubai International Airport is 8.4 km from the island, a meaningful advantage for buyers who travel frequently. Al Arab Mall sits 1.7 km away; Al Khan Beach is within 2.8 km. Maryam Park, at 2.3 km, provides the closest green space, and Alhanan Nursery is 1.8 km from the site, relevant for families with young children.

Downtown Dubai, at 25.9 km, is a straightforward commute by road, though peak-hour traffic on Al Ittihad Road is a variable buyers should factor in honestly.

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

Citrine Residence addresses a specific buyer: someone who wants waterfront living without paying Dubai Marina or Palm Jumeirah prices, values proximity to Dubai International Airport, and can absorb a completion timeline extending to early 2027. The Sharjah market has historically attracted GCC residents seeking larger floor plates at lower per-square-foot costs, and the three-bedroom sizes here, starting at 1,765 sq ft, reflect that appetite.

For investors, the escrow account (0012035440018) is registered and construction is under way, which reduces the regulatory risk inherent in earlier-stage off-plan purchases. The project is currently out of stock through JRE, though comparable units within the Maryam Island masterplan remain worth monitoring as completions approach and the resale market begins to take shape.
