Masaar 3 Phases 1 and 2

Masaar 3 Phases 1 and 2 is a low-rise villa development by Arada in Al Menhaz, Sharjah, comprising 24 semi-furnished houses across two clusters and scheduled for completion in Q4 2028.

# The development and its position in Al Menhaz

Al Menhaz sits within Sharjah's established residential belt, a quieter district that draws families looking for space and relative calm without the premium pricing of Dubai's inner suburbs. Arada, the Sharjah-based developer behind the broader Masaar masterplan, has built a reputation for large-scale, forest-oriented communities in this corridor. Masaar 3 represents the third phase of that vision.

The project is deliberately modest in scale. Twenty-four homes across two building clusters is a tight release, which keeps the streetscape low and the density manageable. The architectural language follows the wider Masaar community's emphasis on tree cover and landscaped buffers rather than tower silhouettes or high-street retail frontage.

# Residences, layouts and floor areas

The range runs from three-bedroom homes through to five-bedroom villas, with internal floor areas spanning 2,342 sq ft to 5,142 sq ft. That spread accommodates a meaningful variety of buyers, from couples planning a family to multi-generational households requiring distinct living zones.

Three-bedroom units sit at 2,342 sq ft and are priced between AED 2.845 million and AED 2.925 million. Four-bedroom configurations carry more variation: buyers can choose between a 3,139 sq ft layout at AED 3.51 million, a 3,765 sq ft version priced from AED 4.46 million, or a larger 4,356 sq ft format ranging from AED 5.15 million to AED 5.61 million depending on plot and position. The five-bedroom, priced at AED 6.458 million, reaches 5,142 sq ft.

All homes are semi-furnished and include equipped kitchens and a smart home system. Service charges are set at AED 3 per sq ft.

# Amenities within the community

The facility list reflects the master community rather than private podium provision, which is typical for low-rise villa clusters of this type. Residents have access to a swimmable forest lagoon with a waterfall, jogging tracks, cycle paths, a gym, basketball and padel courts, and a children's adventure playground. The lagoon is the centrepiece, unusual enough in the regional market to warrant mention on its own terms.

# Location: proximity, schools and access points

A community park sits 100 metres from the development. Lucton School, a British-curriculum institution, is four kilometres away, a practical detail for the UK and European buyers this segment reliably attracts. Al Sajaa Shopping Centre is 11 kilometres out. Sharjah International Airport is 22.2 kilometres away, placing Dubai International within a similar or shorter drive depending on the route.

Sharjah Public Beach is 31 kilometres distant, a drive rather than a short trip, though that distance is consistent with most inland Sharjah addresses.

# Who this suits and where it sits in the market

Masaar 3 is positioned for buyers who prioritise floor area and greenery over address prestige. The pricing, AED 3.5 million to AED 6.5 million for four- and five-bedroom villas, places it noticeably below comparable villa formats in Dubai's established communities, which is the core commercial argument for cross-emirate buyers. For GCC families already familiar with Sharjah's school network and cultural infrastructure, the proposition is straightforward. For European buyers, the British-curriculum school proximity and the 2028 delivery timeline align with the kind of medium-term planning horizon that characterises off-plan purchases at this price point.
