Leading Sharjah developer Arada has announced the launch of Masaar 3, the latest and largest masterplan of UAE’s most successful forest community.
Set to take place in September, the launch follows the sell-out of Masaar 2 in just three hours earlier this year - becoming one of the UAE’s fastest-selling projects in the process - which confirmed the continued end-user demand for Arada’s signature forest concept.
Masaar 3 is set to raise the benchmark once again with its blend of expansive woodlands, immersive wellness facilities and the promise of smart, active living.
With a total sales value of AED12.5 billion ($3.4 billion), Masaar 3 will be delivered in eight phases spread across a 21 million sq ft plot. Offering a mix of units from two- to five-bedroom homes, construction is set to commence early next year. The first homes are scheduled for completion in 2027.
Unveiling the masterplan, Executive Vice Chairman Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal said: "Masaar has become one of the UAE’s most distinctive residential success stories. With every new community, we are reinforcing our commitment to wellness-led design, premium facilities and delivering homes that put families and nature first."
Masaar 3’s extensive amenities are designed to elevate everyday life, with a central lagoon pool featuring landscaped waterfalls, a gym and café forming a focal point for the community.
The green spine is home to more than 100,000 trees, interlaced with jogging and cycling tracks, wellness areas and shaded walking trails, said the Emirati developer.
Residents will also enjoy district-specific facilities such as pools, padel and basketball courts, and children’s play areas, alongside a vibrant community center offering retail and dining outlets, plus a Zad food truck park. Family-friendly attractions include an adventure playground and a duck pond, while every home in Masaar 3 comes equipped with smart systems and premium appliances as standard, it stated.
Group CEO Ahmed Alkhoshaibi said: "Masaar 3 builds on our experience and ongoing design refinement, as well as a deep understanding of what residents and investors want. The success of the Masaar brand is emblematic of growing buyer demand for sustainable, family-friendly living environments that also deliver capital appreciation and long-term value."
Based in the Rowdat district of Sharjah, Masaar 3 is ideally located between Masaar 2 and a fast-growing schools district, already home to two operational large-scale schools.
Masaar 3 is also close to the original Masaar community, Tilal City and Sharjah Mosque, and offers excellent connectivity, with direct access to Khorfakkan Road, and proximity to Emirates Road (E611). Sharjah International Airport is 15 minutes away and Dubai International Airport is just 30 minutes away by car.
Highlighting Masaar’s significance as a landmark development, HH Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, toured the community in September 2024, where he reviewed the newly completed homes and experienced firsthand the exceptional woodland environment that have set a new standard for residential living in the Emirate.
The Sharjah developer said the first of the two Masaar communities, which together amount to 5,000 villas and townhouses and a shared gross development value of AED16 billion, are both sold out.
More than 1,500 homes have already been delivered in the first Masaar community, with the remainder scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026, it stated.
