Active project
This is the rare UAE project where the townhouse is the main event rather than the entry product, and where the developer publishes unit sizes. It is also a project with more announced than confirmed.
The second phase of the Sharjah Sustainable City concept, developed by Shurooq with SEE Holding: 1,032 freehold homes on a 7.9 million sq ft plot with a quarter of it as open space. Three-bedroom townhouses run 2,344 to 2,622 sq ft and four-bedroom townhouses 3,303 to 3,681 sq ft, alongside five-bedroom villas above 5,103 sq ft.
No price, payment plan or handover date appears on the project page.
Sizes
Most developers publish a price and no size. This one does the opposite, which makes it the rare project you can actually compare on space.
| Layout | Published built-up area | How that compares |
|---|---|---|
| 3 bedroom townhouse | 2,344–2,622 sq ft | Comparable with Emaar South’s Green series at 2,417–2,767 sq ft, which is a Dubai golf community |
| 4 bedroom townhouse | 3,303–3,681 sq ft | Above most Dubai townhouse stock and into territory many developers would call a villa |
| 5 bedroom villa | Above 5,103 sq ft | Sold alongside the townhouses rather than in a separate cluster |
The four-bedroom band is the notable one. At 3,303 to 3,681 sq ft it sits above most of what Dubai sells as a four-bedroom townhouse, in an emirate whose reputation is for smaller formats. That inverts the usual assumption that Sharjah means compact.
It also means the missing price is a bigger gap than it would be elsewhere. A large unit at an unpublished price is not obviously cheap, and nothing on this page should be read as implying it is.
Sizes are as the project page publishes them. Comparison figures come from each named project’s own developer source.

1,032 freehold units on a 7.9 million sq ft plot. Three-bedroom townhouses run 2,344 to 2,622 sq ft and four-bedroom 3,303 to 3,681 sq ft, which is large for the format. No price, payment plan or handover date appears on the project page.
Evidence
A 2026 launch generates a great deal of coverage and very little documentation. This is the separation.

Service charges
A service-charge waiver for the first years after handover is widely reported for this project and it is a genuinely valuable thing if it is real: on a large four-bedroom home, service charges are one of the larger recurring costs of ownership, and several years without them is worth a meaningful sum.
We could not find it stated on the official project page or in the launch announcement, so this site does not present it as confirmed. If it is offered to you, the questions are simple: how many years, from what trigger date, covering which charges, and is it in the sale documents or in a brochure? A waiver that lives only in marketing material is not a waiver.
Sustainability
| Area | What is published | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Open space | A quarter of the 7.9 million sq ft plot | Whether that is contractually fixed in the masterplan |
| Active travel | 3.3km cycling and 1.8km jogging tracks, plus a 1.1km horse-riding track | Delivery phase — amenities often complete after the first homes |
| Energy | General sustainability language | Solar capacity in kWp, and whether it offsets a stated share of household demand |
| Water | General sustainability language | Whether greywater or condensate recycling is specified for the homes |
| Transport | General sustainability language | EV charging provision per home, and who pays for it |
The first two rows are specific and checkable. The rest use general language on the pages we could reach, so ask which systems are contractually specified rather than aspirational.
Ownership
The project page describes the community as 1,032 freehold residential units. It does not, on any page we could reach, attribute a freehold-for-all-nationalities statement to a named official, which is the form such a statement would need to take to settle the question.
Sharjah’s published framework grants non-GCC nationals a usufruct capped at 100 years in designated areas, subject to the Ruler’s approval, unless a specific project is designated otherwise. This is a Shurooq project — a Sharjah government investment authority — which is a reason to expect a clear answer, not a reason to assume one. Ask what right your unit conveys and under what instrument. Nothing here is legal advice.

FAQ
Yes. The original phases are largely built and delivered; the second phase is the current off-plan opportunity, on its own 7.9 million sq ft plot with 1,032 homes. They share a concept and a developer partnership, not a site or a completion date.
The project page states 1,032 freehold residential units in total and describes three and four-bedroom townhouses alongside five-bedroom villas, but does not break the total down by type on any page we could reach. Figures splitting it into a specific townhouse count circulate; we have not been able to source them.
Three-bedroom townhouses are given as 2,344 to 2,622 sq ft and four-bedroom as 3,303 to 3,681 sq ft. Those are large for the format — the four-bedroom range sits above most Dubai townhouse stock and close to villa territory.
The project page describes the community as 1,032 freehold residential units. It does not, on any page we could reach, attribute a freehold-for-all-nationalities statement to a named official. Given the Sharjah usufruct framework, confirm what right you are being granted for your specific unit in writing.
Not published. The project page links to payment-plan information per unit type but the figures did not appear in anything we could read. Ask for the milestone schedule before booking.
No handover date is published on the project page or the launch announcement. For a project launched in 2026, that is the first thing to establish in writing.
A zero-service-charge offer for the first years after handover is widely reported for this project. We could not find it stated on the official project page or in the launch announcement, so this site does not present it as confirmed. If it is offered to you, get the terms and duration in the sale documents rather than in a brochure.
The project page commits a quarter of the plot to open space and publishes a 1.1km horse-riding track, 3.3km cycling track and 1.8km jogging track. Beyond that it uses general language about sustainability rather than naming specific systems such as solar capacity, water recycling or EV provision. Ask which systems are contractually specified.
Masaar 3 publishes a price and a payment split but no sizes and no handover date. Sustainable City II publishes sizes and a freehold description but no price, plan or date. Masaar 3 is a forest concept at scale; this is a sustainability concept with larger units. Neither publishes enough to decide on without asking.
Price, payment plan, handover date and the exact ownership right. We will get them in writing and tell you what is still only announced.
