Jawaher Residences Maryam Island

Jawaher Residences is a low-rise residential development by Eagle Hills on Maryam Island, Sharjah, comprising two buildings and 26 apartments ranging from one to four bedrooms. Completion is scheduled for January 2025, with construction currently at 80 per cent.

# The buildings and their position on Maryam Island

Maryam Island is Eagle Hills' flagship waterfront community in downtown Sharjah, fronting the Arabian Sea and sitting between Al Khan lagoon to one side and an 800-metre promenade of cafes and dining to the other. Jawaher Residences occupies a position within that masterplan close to both the waterfront and Maryam Island Park, a four-hectare green space with jogging tracks, a basketball court and children's play areas.

The architecture takes its cues from the region's traditional built forms: a walled style rendered in beige and brown tones, nine storeys tall, with a landscaped podium deck. The palette is restrained. The ambition is to read as a settled part of the island rather than an interruption to it.

# Residences: layouts, sizes and specification

The 26 apartments span one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom configurations. One-bedroom units run to 1,393 sq ft. Two-bedroom layouts range from 1,090 sq ft to 2,141 sq ft, offering a noticeable spread depending on tier and position. Three-bedroom apartments cover 1,509 sq ft to 2,158 sq ft, and the four-bedroom unit sits at 1,893 sq ft.

Specification includes 600x600mm porcelain tiles throughout living areas, bedrooms and balconies, with gypsum ceilings in bathrooms and kitchens. Joinery uses high-quality industrial wood and laminate finishes for kitchen cabinetry, wardrobes and doors. Master bathrooms receive a glass-partitioned shower; secondary bathrooms include an acrylic bathtub with adjustable shower rail. Kitchens come with solid-surface countertops, porcelain backsplash and MDF panel cabinetry in both open and closed configurations.

Apartments are delivered unfurnished. Service charges run at 10 to 11 AED per sq ft annually.

# Amenities within the development

On-site facilities cover the core requirements for a mid-scale residential building: a swimming pool, a separate children's pool, a kids' play area, a gym, and ground-floor food and beverage and retail space. The landscaped podium adds communal seating areas.

The broader Maryam Island promenade and park extend those options considerably for residents who treat the island as their daily environment rather than purely a home address.

# Connections to Sharjah, Dubai and beyond

Maryam Island sits at a practical intersection of the northern Emirates. Dubai International Airport lies 12 km away. Al Arab Mall is 4 km from the island, Victoria International School 3.8 km, and Maryam Park 1.9 km. Al Khan Beach and its corniche stretch 6 km out. The main arterials, Al Taawun Road and Al Ittihad Road, connect residents to Dubai, Ajman and Umm Al Quwain without routing through Sharjah's more congested interior.

For buyers holding employment or schooling ties in Dubai but seeking lower entry prices and a less frenetic urban tempo, the location arithmetic is straightforward.

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

Jawaher Residences is not positioned as a Dubai address, and it does not try to be. It is a Sharjah waterfront product at price points that Dubai has left behind: one-bedroom apartments from AED 1.39 million, three-bedroom units from AED 1.74 million. Those figures carry weight for GCC-based buyers who want a completed, managed island community rather than a speculative off-plan position.

With the project at 80 per cent construction and a January 2025 handover target, the gap between purchase and possession is short. The development is currently listed as out of stock, which narrows the acquisition route to the secondary market. For buyers tracking Maryam Island as a long-term community play in Sharjah's gradual waterfront transformation, Jawaher Residences represents the established, lower-density end of that story.
