Crystal Residences Tower 2

Crystal Residences Tower 2 is a twelve-storey residential building by Eagle Hills, situated on Maryam Island in Sharjah, with completion scheduled for October 2025.

# The tower and its position on Maryam Island

Maryam Island is a beachfront development on the Sharjah coastline, positioned as one of the emirate's more considered addresses for waterfront living. Eagle Hills, the Abu Dhabi-based developer behind a number of mixed-use schemes across the Gulf and beyond, brings a particular emphasis on architectural finish and master-planning to the project. Crystal Residences Tower 2 forms part of a larger community that includes a marina, promenade, and public park, meaning the building sits within a functioning neighbourhood rather than in isolation.

The twelve-storey scale keeps the building human in proportion. Construction is currently at 75 per cent completion, with handover expected in October 2025.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The developer's original brief encompasses a range of configurations: one- to four-bedroom apartments, three- to four-bedroom townhouses, and four-bedroom duplex units. The variety across formats is meaningful here. A buyer seeking a compact waterfront apartment and one looking for a townhouse with direct outdoor access are both accommodated within the same building.

Kitchens are offered in both open and closed formats. Cabinetry uses MDF panels with a laminate finish, and countertops are reconstituted stone with porcelain tile backsplashes. Doors, bedroom wardrobes, and built-in cupboards use high-quality laminate over industrial wood. The building is delivered unfurnished.

The architectural detailing includes shading elements designed for the outdoor terraces, a practical consideration for summer months that tends to be overlooked in towers focused primarily on visual effect.

# Amenities within the development

The amenity package covers the essentials for a community of this scale. An infinity pool serves adult residents, with a separate children's swimming pool alongside it. A gym, kids' play area, basketball court, and jogging and walking tracks complete the active facilities. The podium level incorporates garden areas.

Service charges are estimated at 10 to 11 AED per square foot annually.

# Sharjah, the island, and practical connections

Maryam Island's location on the Sharjah waterfront places it at a geographical midpoint that suits residents who move regularly between the northern emirates and Dubai. Dubai International Airport is approximately fifteen minutes by road, and the Burj Khalifa district in Downtown Dubai is around twenty-three minutes away. For day-to-day life, the Maryam Island Park and its surrounding retail and dining options are within walking distance of the building.

Sharjah itself carries a distinct character that Dubai does not replicate. The emirate has invested seriously in arts infrastructure, notably through the Sharjah Art Foundation and the Sharjah Biennial, as well as in cultural preservation through the Heart of Sharjah district and the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization. For buyers who value proximity to that kind of institutional life, the location is more than a commuter compromise.

# Who this building suits and where it sits in the market

Crystal Residences Tower 2 is most compelling for buyers who want a waterfront address with a Sharjah cost basis and Dubai accessibility. The project is currently sold out, which limits entry to the secondary market. At a service charge of 10 to 11 AED per square foot, running costs are in line with comparable mid-rise developments in the region.

The duplex and townhouse formats are particularly relevant for families relocating from Europe or the GCC who want floor area and outdoor space without the density of a larger Dubai tower. Eagle Hills' track record in delivering mixed-use communities across the Middle East and Africa gives the project more developer credibility than many single-scheme operators working in the same corridor.
