The Gate 6

The Gate 6 is a residential building by Arada, currently under construction within the Muwaileh Commercial district of Sharjah, offering 42 apartments across one to four-bedroom configurations with prices running from AED 985,000 to AED 3,590,000.

# The building and its position in Muwaileh Commercial

A single building comprising 42 residences, The Gate 6 sits within Aljada, Arada's large-scale masterplan community in Muwaileh Commercial. The district is one of the more deliberate urban planning exercises in the northern emirates, organised around distinct residential, retail and entertainment quarters rather than the ad-hoc growth that characterises parts of older Sharjah. The building's scale is intimate by the standards of the region. Forty-two units across one structure means a level of density that stops well short of the anonymous tower-block format common elsewhere.

Construction is underway and no completion date has been confirmed. Buyers entering at this stage do so with corresponding price sensitivity priced in.

# Residences, layouts and floor areas

The apartment mix spans one, two, three and four bedrooms, with floor areas ranging from 711 sq ft at the smaller end of the one-bedroom range to 2,740 sq ft for the largest four-bedroom unit.

One-bedroom apartments fall between 711 and 870 sq ft, priced from AED 975,000 to AED 1,205,000 depending on the specific layout. Two-bedroom units show the widest spread: from a compact 1,069 sq ft at AED 1,445,000 up to 1,397 sq ft at AED 1,880,000, with the majority sitting between 1,149 and 1,300 sq ft. Three-bedroom apartments range from 1,678 sq ft at AED 2,215,000 to just under 1,960 sq ft at around AED 2,580,000. The four-bedroom units, priced from AED 3,165,000 to AED 3,590,000, occupy between 2,385 and 2,740 sq ft.

Each residence comes with kitchen appliances fitted as standard, including a cooker, hood, and washer/dryer. The rest of the apartment is delivered unfurnished. Service charges are set at AED 10 to 11 per sq ft annually, which falls within the typical range for mid-market Sharjah new builds.

Select units incorporate winter gardens, a design element that folds the boundary between balcony and interior living space. For buyers prioritising natural light and flexible room use, these layouts merit specific attention.

# Amenities on site

The amenities confirmed for The Gate 6 are a gym and a swimming pool.

Residents also have access to the wider Aljada community infrastructure. The masterplan includes the Madar entertainment district, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, which draws over 120,000 visitors monthly and houses a skate park, food truck park, drive-in cinema and outdoor play areas. West Boulevard provides retail and dining within the development. A sports complex adjacent to The Gate 6's section of Aljada includes football pitches, basketball courts and padel tennis.

# Getting around from Muwaileh Commercial

Muwaileh Commercial sits in the corridor connecting central Sharjah with the Dubai border. Dubai International Airport is accessible in under 30 minutes by road under normal conditions. The area is primarily car-dependent, though the Aljada masterplan is designed with internal walkability in mind across its own districts.

The proximity to Dubai makes The Gate 6 relevant to buyers who work or spend significant time in Dubai but prefer Sharjah pricing, community scale, or the regulatory environment there. The Sharjah-Dubai commute is well-established among residents of the northern emirates.

# What kind of buyer this project suits

The pricing structure tells a clear story. At AED 985,000 for entry-level one-bedrooms, The Gate 6 sits in a bracket that attracts both owner-occupiers relocating from more expensive Dubai submarkets and investors targeting the rental demand generated by Aljada's own employment and student population. The larger three and four-bedroom layouts, priced from AED 2.2 million to AED 3.59 million, appeal to families who want apartment living with the space that Sharjah's land economics make more affordable than equivalent footage in, say, Dubai Hills or Jumeirah Village Circle.

The project's relatively small unit count means limited resale competition within the building itself, which has some relevance for investors thinking about exit liquidity. The under-construction status carries the usual development risk, offset partly by Arada's established presence in Sharjah and its track record across the broader Aljada masterplan.
