Sharjah: Arada has awarded the main construction contract for Masaar Central, the retail and lifestyle hub at the heart of its forested megaproject in Sharjah. Construction work is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026, coinciding with the full delivery of the remaining three residential phases of the AED9.5 billion community in the Suyoh district.
According to Emirates News Agency, the construction contract, valued at AED60 million, has been awarded to Intermass, a well-established Sharjah-based contractor. Intermass is already working on several residential phases at Masaar and will now undertake the development of Masaar Central.
Masaar Central will provide a range of retail, dining, wellness, and education services across 53,000 square feet of gross leasable area. It will be anchored by a Carrefour supermarket, a Wellfit gym, and a Bright Star RGS nursery.
Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada, stated that Masaar Central will serve as the social and retail heart of the community. The development aims to offer a convenient and engaging environment that complements the forested surroundings. With half of Masaar already complete, 1,500 homes handed over, and a vibrant community taking shape, this contract award is a significant step towards completing all elements of the master plan by the end of 2026.
Spread over a 19 million square foot area, Masaar features 3,000 villas and townhouses spread across six gated districts. These districts are all linked by a green spine featuring 70,000 trees.
