Sharjah will get the longest ‘green river’ in the Gulf region as a new Dh3.5-billion (nearly $1-billion) mixed-use project has been launched by Kuwait Real Estate Company (Aqarat) and IFA Hotels and Resorts.
Located on Emirates Road near Sharjah Grand Mosque, the ‘green river’ in the newly-launched Al Tay Hills will be stretched over 2.5 kilometres, featuring extensive green space, natural beauty to the project and serving as the natural lung and central artery of the development.
Jamal Al Shawish, chief of sales and marketing at IFA Hotels and Resorts, said the ‘green river’ is designed as a unique recreational shape, providing fresh air, dedicated walking paths and relaxation areas.
Spread over six million square feet, the newly-launched community will house 1,100 townhouses and villas ranging from three-bedroom to six-bed rooms with prices starting from Dh1.8 million and going as high as Dh7.2 million. In addition, the project offers playgrounds, a mosque, restaurants, a café, retail outlets, swimming pools and walking and cycling paths totalling 11 kilometres.
The project will be developed in three phases and the first phase is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2028.
