Topaz Residences

Topaz Residences is a 13-storey apartment building developed by Eagle Hills on Maryam Island, Sharjah, with completion scheduled for February 2027.

# The building and its position on Maryam Island

Maryam Island sits in the heart of downtown Sharjah, a waterfront district designed around a promenade that runs between the beach and the island's interior parkland. The setting is quieter than Dubai's high-density corridors, and that contrast is deliberate: the island draws residents who want coastal access without the density of, say, Dubai Marina or JBR.

Topaz Residences occupies a single building on the island. At 13 storeys, it is a mid-rise by Gulf standards, which keeps the scale human and the communal areas manageable. Eagle Hills, the Abu Dhabi-based developer behind several large mixed-use projects across the region, is behind the scheme. Construction is underway, with handover set for February 2027.

# Residences, layouts and finish specification

The development contains 123 units across a mix of apartments and five townhouses, with configurations running from one to four bedrooms. The three-bedroom apartments, which are the only typology with publicly confirmed pricing, are sized at 1,991 sq ft and priced at AED 2,670,888. Units are delivered unfurnished.

Every residence includes a private balcony. Given the building's position between the promenade and the beach, upper-floor units can reasonably expect water-facing aspects, though buyers should confirm specific orientations before committing.

Specification is solid without being extravagant. Kitchens feature MDF cabinetry with laminated finishes, solid surface countertops and glass splashbacks. Bathrooms in the master suite include a shower enclosure with a glass partition; secondary bathrooms receive an acrylic bathtub. Flooring uses high-quality laminate throughout. Air conditioning runs on a split-ducted system with multi-zone thermostat controls, which offers practical flexibility for larger households. Windows are double-glazed with powder-coated aluminium frames.

# Townhouses

Five townhouses sit within the scheme. No sizing or pricing data has been published for these at the time of writing, so buyers interested in this typology should approach the sales team directly.

# Amenities on site

The amenity provision is modest and honest. Topaz Residences offers a swimming pool, a separate children's pool, a gym and a children's play area. There is no spa, no co-working space and no retail podium, which is consistent with a mid-scale residential building rather than a resort-style tower.

Maryam Island Park and the beach are within walking distance, which effectively extends the lifestyle offer beyond the building's own footprint without inflating the service charge. That charge is set at AED 10 to 11 per sq ft annually, a reasonable figure for a building of this type.

# Location, connectivity and the Sharjah context

Maryam Island's position in central Sharjah places residents close to the emirate's cultural and educational institutions, several of which carry regional significance. The drive to Dubai is short, and Ajman is similarly accessible, making the location workable for people who commute or travel regularly between the northern emirates.

Sharjah's real-estate market operates under different ownership rules to Dubai: non-GCC nationals can purchase in designated freehold zones, and Maryam Island falls within that framework. Buyers from the UK, Europe and Asia should confirm their eligibility and the applicable regulatory conditions with a registered broker before proceeding.

# Who this building suits and where it sits in the market

At AED 2,670,888 for a three-bedroom apartment of just under 2,000 sq ft, Topaz Residences enters the market at a price point that remains difficult to match in Dubai for the same room count and square footage. The trade-off is address: Sharjah carries a different weight than Dubai in the minds of international investors, and secondary market liquidity reflects that.

For buyers prioritising space, a beachside setting and a lower entry price over brand-name location, the project makes a coherent case. It suits end-users more naturally than short-term rental investors, given Sharjah's restrictions on holiday lets. A three-bedroom at this size and price, in a completed waterfront district with a credible developer behind it, represents a particular kind of value: functional, well-specified, and priced with room for appreciation as the island matures.
