Khalid Bin Sultan City

Khalid Bin Sultan City is a residential master community in Al Rowdat suburb, Sharjah, developed by BEEAH Group and designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. The development comprises 62 homes across two buildings, offering townhouses and villas ranging from two to five bedrooms, currently under construction and available for purchase.

# A Zaha Hadid Commission in Sharjah's Suburbs

The involvement of Zaha Hadid Architects is the single most consequential fact about this project's physical character. The practice's signature formal language, fluid geometries and surfaces that resist orthogonal convention, shapes a community that looks unlike anything else currently under construction in the Northern Emirates.

BEEAH Group frames the design around its own headquarters building, also a Zaha Hadid commission, treating the two as a coherent architectural statement within the emirate. The result is a low-density community of 62 residences set across two buildings, a scale that keeps the development genuinely private without retreating into isolation.

The planning strategy centres sustainability at an infrastructure level. The community is designed to a net-zero-ready specification, with smart-energy systems embedded at the outset rather than retrofitted. For buyers who assess long-term running costs and regulatory exposure, that distinction matters.

# Residences, Configurations and Scale

The range runs from a 2,284 sq ft two-bedroom townhouse at AED 2.1 million to a 5,480 sq ft five-bedroom villa priced up to AED 5.8 million. That spread accommodates both the buyer seeking a well-proportioned lock-and-leave residence and one requiring a full family home with meaningful outdoor space.

Three-bedroom units sit between 2,535 and 2,693 sq ft, priced from AED 2.304 million to AED 3.054 million. Four-bedroom options divide into two distinct tiers: a mid-range townhouse configuration from 3,244 to 3,316 sq ft (AED 3.012 million to AED 3.557 million) and a larger villa format at 3,882 sq ft, priced between AED 4.307 million and AED 4.417 million. The five-bedroom villas occupy the top of the range at 5,480 sq ft.

All homes are delivered semi-furnished. The Zaha Hadid design vocabulary extends into the residences themselves, with contemporary finishes and interiors shaped to complement the fluid external architecture.

# Community Infrastructure and Daily Life

# What the development contains

The amenity programme for a community of 62 homes is substantial. A retail mall and a cultural centre sit within the development, reducing the dependency on off-site errands that can erode the appeal of suburban living. The Lifestyle Avenue, a pedestrianised commercial and social spine, provides the kind of ground-level activation that denser urban projects take for granted but that master communities often struggle to replicate.

Wellness provision covers swimming pools, gyms, fitness studios and dedicated wellness hubs. Jogging and cycling tracks thread through community parks, with children's play areas placed accordingly. The landscaping is designed around green corridors rather than ornamental planting, reinforcing the net-zero-ready positioning.

# Al Rowdat and Sharjah's Broader Context

Al Rowdat sits within Sharjah, the emirate that borders Dubai to the north and shares a continuous urban fabric along the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road corridor. Sharjah holds UNESCO's designation as Arab World Cultural Capital, and that standing is reflected in its built environment: the Sharjah Art Museum, the Sharjah Heritage Museum and the restored Al Hisn Fort all sit within the emirate's historic core.

The American University of Sharjah and the University of Sharjah are established institutions that draw academic and professional communities to the emirate, sustaining demand for quality residential stock at price points below comparable Dubai addresses.

Road connectivity to Dubai International Airport and to the major business districts of Deira and Bur Dubai makes the location functional for residents whose professional or social anchors remain in the neighbouring emirate.

# Who This Development Is Built For

At AED 2.1 million for a two-bedroom residence of 2,284 sq ft, Khalid Bin Sultan City occupies a position that Dubai's equivalent price bracket simply cannot match on space. A buyer priced out of comparable villa communities in Dubailand or Arabian Ranches, or one unwilling to compromise on architectural quality, finds here a credible alternative with a stronger design pedigree than most projects at this level.

The net-zero-ready specification and BEEAH Group's background in environmental services position the development for buyers who regard sustainability credentials as a genuine filter, not an afterthought.

With construction under way and no confirmed completion date yet published, buyers should conduct due diligence on build-programme timelines before committing. The architectural authorship and the space-to-price ratio are the arguments for moving early.
