About Arada
Arada is a real estate developer headquartered in Sharjah, founded in 2017. Its chairman is Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi and its vice chairman is Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal. In a relatively short time, Arada has become one of the largest developers in Sharjah and has expanded into other markets.
Aljada is the company's flagship project: a large mixed-use master community in Sharjah that combines residential neighbourhoods with retail, offices, entertainment, education and hospitality. The project is planned as a new city district and has become a major destination in the emirate, including event and leisure venues that draw visitors from across the northern emirates.
Masaar is another major Arada community in Sharjah, designed around a forest concept with villas and townhouses set among green corridors and trees. The project targets families looking for a quieter, nature-focused environment. Arada's early project Nasma Residences, a townhouse community, helped establish its presence before Aljada's launch.
Arada has also set out plans to grow beyond Sharjah, reflecting an ambition to become a regional developer rather than a single-emirate company.
The company's model centres on large master communities where it controls planning, amenities and the overall experience. This allows Arada to create neighbourhoods with a consistent design approach and a mix of uses, rather than standalone buildings.
Sharjah has historically been seen as a more affordable alternative to Dubai for residents, and its property market opened to freehold ownership for foreign buyers in recent years. Arada's large communities have given Sharjah new options for buyers seeking modern, amenity-rich housing.
For anyone researching Arada UAE or Arada Sharjah, the key projects are Aljada and Masaar. Startups UAE lists Arada among UAE real estate companies that have grown rapidly and helped reshape the Sharjah property market. Its projects have also added schools, retail and leisure to areas that previously had fewer amenities.
