Sokoon 5

Sokoon 5 is a residential apartment building by Arada, located in Muwaileh Commercial, Sharjah, with a scheduled completion of December 2024. Part of the broader Aljada masterplan, it is an unfurnished mid-rise project currently at 62 per cent construction progress.

# The building and its position in Aljada

Arada has established itself as one of Sharjah's more design-conscious developers, and Sokoon 5 sits within a neighbourhood conceived around that premise. The Sokoon cluster occupies a defined pocket of the Aljada masterplan, a large-scale mixed-use development that Arada describes as the emirate's most ambitious residential and commercial project to date. Muwaileh Commercial is a district in transition, moving from a predominantly low-rise, light-industrial character towards a denser residential offer as Aljada's footprint expands.

The project comprises a single building. Construction progress stands at 62 per cent, with handover targeted for December 2024.

The immediate setting gives residents access to a courtyard and a landscaped linear park that runs through the community. Both green corridors border the building, which keeps the ground-level environment quieter and more pedestrian in character than the surrounding arterials might suggest.

# Residences, layouts and finish

Published data on unit configurations, floor areas and pricing for Sokoon 5 is not currently available, and the project is listed as out of stock. Buyers researching this address should contact the brokerage directly for secondary-market availability or resale listings.

What the developer's specifications confirm is that apartments are delivered unfurnished, with a contemporary finish using quality materials. Appliances, specifically a cooking range, extractor hood, washing machine and dryer, are installed as standard across all units. Smart-home integration is built into the specification rather than offered as an upgrade.

# Amenities within the development

The amenity offer at Sokoon 5 is modest in footprint but covers the core requirements of residential daily life. A health club serves adult residents, supported by separate swimming pools for adults and children. Younger residents have dedicated play areas. Courtyard and garden spaces thread through the development, providing shaded outdoor areas at ground level without requiring residents to leave the community perimeter.

No hotel, F&B or retail amenities are listed within Sokoon 5 itself, though the broader Aljada masterplan incorporates these at the Vida Aljada complex and along its two main commercial boulevards.

# How Sokoon 5 fits the current Sharjah investment picture

Sharjah has attracted renewed buyer interest from budget-conscious investors priced out of Dubai's more central submarkets, as well as from end-users seeking larger apartments at lower per-square-foot costs. Service charges at Sokoon 5 are quoted at 8 to 10 AED per square foot, a figure that sits in the moderate range for the emirate and keeps holding costs predictable for buy-to-let investors.

The project is fully sold through primary channels. For buyers drawn to Arada's pipeline and the Aljada neighbourhood, Sokoon 5 represents a completed-or-near-complete asset in a masterplan that still has considerable development ahead of it, which carries both the upside of an evolving community and the patience that entails.
