Community
Hayyan has the lowest developer-published townhouse price tracked anywhere on this site. It also advertises freehold ownership in an emirate whose government describes a different arrangement.
Alef Group sells Hayyan in named zones on Emirates Road, and four are currently visible: Arim, with two and three-bedroom townhouses from AED 1.19M; Alma, two and three-bedroom from AED 1.69M; Samr, three and four-bedroom; and Deem, two and three-bedroom, which Alef describes as the community’s final phase. Handover is stated as approximately Q4 2026.
Zones
Alef sells Hayyan by named zone. What it publishes for each one differs considerably, and that difference is itself information.
| Zone | Townhouse layouts | Published from | What else Alef publishes | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arim | 2 and 3 bedroom | AED 1.19M | Nothing further | The lowest published townhouse starting price on this site, in any emirate |
| Alma | 2 and 3 bedroom | AED 1.69M | Nothing further | A 42% step up from Arim for the same bedroom counts |
| Samr | 3 and 4 bedroom | Not published | Nothing further | The larger-format zone and the least documented in the community |
| Deem | 2 and 3 bedroom | Not published | Described as the final phase | Once it sells, Hayyan produces no more new stock |
Numbered sub-zones such as Arim 1, 2 and 3 circulate in listings but do not appear on any Alef page we could reach, so this site does not use them. If someone quotes you a zone number, ask which of these four it belongs to.

Price is shown as available on request. The page advertises freehold ownership for all nationalities, which conflicts with the official Sharjah position; worth putting to the developer in writing.

Context
The lowest published townhouse starting price anywhere on this site. Here is what it sits next to.
| Emirate | Lowest published townhouse price | Project | Difference from Arim |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sharjah | AED 1.19M | Arim at Hayyan | — |
| Sharjah | AED 1.57M | Masaar 2 | +32% |
| Dubai | AED 1.6M | Elora at The Valley, by Emaar | +34% |
| Abu Dhabi | AED 2M | Nawayef Park Views, Hudayriyat Island | +68% |
| Ras Al Khaimah | AED 4.5M | Falcon Island, four-bedroom | +278% |
Starting prices are for the smallest layout a developer ties to a townhouse, at the date checked, and are not like-for-like on size — Alef publishes no unit sizes for Hayyan, so a price-per-square-foot comparison is not possible here. Compare across the UAE
Ownership
| Source | What it says | What kind of statement it is |
|---|---|---|
| Alef Group | Freehold ownership, open to all nationalities | A developer describing its own project |
| UAE government portal | Non-GCC nationals in Sharjah acquire a usufruct capped at 100 years in designated areas, subject to the Ruler’s approval, unless a project is designated otherwise | A government description of the emirate’s framework |
These are not necessarily contradictory. The government description leaves room for a project to be designated otherwise by the Executive Council, and if such a designation exists for Hayyan then Alef’s description could be accurate. We have not found that designation published, and we are not going to assume it either way.
What we will say is what a buyer should do about it. Ask Alef, in writing, what right your specific unit conveys and under what instrument; ask that the answer appear in the sale agreement rather than in a brochure; and have a Sharjah-qualified lawyer read it. A hundred-year usufruct is a substantial right and plenty of people buy on one happily. Buying on one while believing you have freehold is the problem. Nothing on this page is legal advice.
Deem
Alef explicitly describes Deem as the final phase of the Hayyan community. Developers use scarcity language freely, but this particular claim is worth taking at face value because it is about the masterplan rather than about a unit count, and it is easy for Alef to be held to.
The practical effect is on resale rather than on price today. A community that has stopped producing new stock no longer competes with itself: a buyer in 2029 who wants Hayyan has to buy from an existing owner rather than from the developer. That is the mechanism people are describing when they talk about a completed community “settling”. It is not a forecast, and this site does not make price forecasts.
The counterweight is that Deem has no published price, so you cannot currently judge whether the final phase is being priced as one.
Missing
No built-up area or plot dimension for any zone. Without them, the AED 1.19M figure cannot be compared on a per-square-foot basis with anything.
Alef describes flexible payment plans direct from the developer and publishes no percentages or milestones. Unusual for Sharjah, where Arada publishes a full 5/35/60 split.
One community-wide date of approximately Q4 2026, described as approximate. With Deem marketed as a final phase, a single date is unlikely to apply to every zone.
Two of the four zones have no published starting price at all, including the larger-format one. Ask for both before deciding Arim is the cheapest way in.

| Headline amenity | A swimmable lagoon on Emirates Road | A forest concept with 50,000+ trees |
| Still launching? | Deem is the final phase | Masaar 3 is actively launching |

FAQ
Alef’s own pages state freehold ownership open to all nationalities. The UAE government portal states that non-GCC nationals in Sharjah acquire a usufruct capped at 100 years in designated areas, subject to the Ruler’s approval, unless a specific project is designated otherwise. We cannot reconcile those two positions from published sources, so get the ownership type for your unit in writing before paying anything.
Alef publishes AED 1.19M for two and three-bedroom townhouses at Arim and AED 1.69M at Alma. It publishes no starting price for Samr or Deem. No unit sizes or plot dimensions are published for any zone.
Four are visible on Alef’s live pages: Arim, Alma, Samr and Deem. Numbered sub-zones such as Arim 1, 2 and 3 circulate in listings but do not appear on any Alef page we could reach, so this site does not use them.
The zone Alef explicitly describes as the final phase of the Hayyan community, offering two and three-bedroom townhouses alongside villas. That label matters commercially: it is the last new stock this community will produce, which changes how its resale market is likely to behave.
The larger-format townhouse zone, in three and four-bedroom layouts alongside four-bedroom villas. Alef publishes no price, size, payment plan or handover date for it, which makes it the least documented zone in the community.
Alef’s overview page gives approximately Q4 2026, described as approximate rather than firm, and does not publish per-zone dates. With Deem marketed as a final phase, a single community-wide date is unlikely to apply to every zone.
Alef describes flexible payment plans direct from the developer and publishes no percentages or milestones. That is unusual for Sharjah, where Arada publishes a full 5/35/60 split for its Masaar communities. Ask for the milestone schedule in writing.
Hayyan starts lower and publishes an approximate handover date; Masaar publishes a full payment split but no handover date at all. Hayyan is on Emirates Road with a swimmable lagoon as its headline amenity; Masaar is a forest concept with 50,000 or more trees. Both leave you asking for unit sizes.
Alef publishes a price and very little else. We will get the unit sizes, the payment milestones and, most importantly, the ownership type in writing.
