Sequoia

Sequoia is a low-density residential development by Arada, located within the Tilal community in Sharjah, comprising 16 villas and townhouses across two buildings. The project completed in September 2026 and is now sold out, though resale opportunities may exist through agents active in the district.

# Two buildings, sixteen homes, a forested setting

Tilal sits within a master-planned network of gated communities in Sharjah, designed around a green spine of parks, planted corridors and outdoor recreation infrastructure. Sequoia occupies a quieter position within that network, with just 16 residences across two structures, giving the development a scale closer to a private enclave than a conventional townhouse cluster.

The architectural language takes its cue from the landscape rather than competing with it. Facades are contemporary, the massing kept deliberately low-rise, and the surrounding tree cover remains a defining feature of the streetscape. It is the kind of project that prioritises the space between buildings as much as the buildings themselves.

# Residences, layouts and kitchen-ready specification

Homes at Sequoia range from four-bedroom townhouses to six-bedroom villas, with sizes spanning from 2,661 sq ft at the compact end of the four-bedroom range to 9,235 sq ft for the six-bedroom villas. That is a meaningful spread, reflecting genuinely different buyer profiles within a single address.

The four-bedroom townhouses were offered at two distinct price points: AED 3,140,000 for the smaller 2,661 sq ft format, and AED 5,820,000 for the larger 4,402 sq ft variant. Six-bedroom villas, all at 9,235 sq ft, were priced between approximately AED 9,410,000 and AED 10,425,000, with variation across individual plots and orientations.

Specification is contemporary throughout. Kitchens arrive fitted, the remainder of each home delivered unfurnished, allowing owners to determine their own interior approach. The service charge is fixed at AED 3 per sq ft.

# What the amenity mix reflects about daily life here

The facilities at Sequoia lean heavily towards outdoor and wellness use, which is consistent with Tilal's positioning as a green community rather than an urban convenience play.

# Active and leisure infrastructure

Residents have access to a swimming pool, gymnasium, outdoor tennis court and additional sports courts and grounds. Running and cycling tracks thread through the development, supplemented by parks, gardens and dedicated picnic spots. A forest landscape forms the visual backbone of the outdoor environment.

Yoga and meditation areas are provided as formal amenity spaces, and children's play areas are integrated into the grounds. Parking is included.

# Position relative to Dubai, Sharjah and the airport corridor

Sequoia sits approximately 37 km and 32 minutes by car from Dubai International Airport, which is the relevant benchmark for buyers whose schedules are shaped by frequent travel. The Burj Khalifa is 44 km away, roughly a 41-minute drive, and Palm Jumeirah sits around 51 minutes out at 62 km.

More immediately, Nasma Central Park is 3.5 km from the development (four minutes), and Tilal Mall is 3.9 km away. Sharjah Mosque is seven minutes by car. Sharjah National Park, at 22 km, is an 18-minute drive. These proximities matter for a community whose residents are more likely to anchor their week around local infrastructure than daily commutes into central Dubai.

# Who Sequoia suits, and where it sits in the market

Sequoia is a completed, sold-out project. Its relevance to buyers now lies in the secondary market, where a finished, low-density villa community with forest landscaping in a master-planned Sharjah district represents a particular kind of proposition: space, greenery, and a service charge that remains modest relative to comparable gated villa products on the Dubai side of the border.

The profile that fits best is a family buyer prioritising indoor square footage and outdoor access over proximity to downtown Dubai, with lifestyle needs met locally and airport access acceptable within the 30-to-35-minute window. European and Asian buyers relocating on longer cycles tend to weight these factors more heavily than GCC buyers who may retain a second residence closer to the city. At 9,235 sq ft for a six-bedroom villa at prices that peaked below AED 10.5 million, the value arithmetic remains the primary argument.
