Tilal City is a meticulously planned residential community in Sharjah’s Juwaiza Suburb, brought to life by Sharjah Asset Management and Eskan Real Estate Development. This AED 2 billion project covers 25 million sq. ft. and is set to house around 65,000 residents once completed. It’s an off-plan development, meaning it’s still under construction, offering investors the unique opportunity to buy residential plots and build tailored homes. A key highlight is its 100-year leasehold option for non-Arabs and expats—the first of its kind in Sharjah—alongside freehold ownership for GCC nationals.
The community is structured into four main zones, with Zones A, B, and C focusing on residential properties like apartments, villas, and townhouses, while Zone D integrates both residential and commercial buildings. A fifth zone, Zone E, will serve as the heart of leisure and retail with a shopping mall and recreational spaces. Nearly half the area (48%) is allocated to parks, schools, and community facilities, ensuring a balanced lifestyle. All utility services, including sewerage, gas, and electricity from SEWA, are already installed, making the infrastructure 100% ready for development.
Properties in Tilal City cater to diverse needs, featuring apartments in areas like Shams, Areej, Naseem Residences, Almass Residence, and Morooj South, and villas in Naseem Villa, Almass Villa, and Morooj North. Apartments, built in neoclassical style with tall corridors and glass facades, range from 5,500 sq. ft. to 28,000 sq. ft., while contemporary two-storey villas with terraces and garages span 2,500 sq. ft. to 8,500 sq. ft. Residential plots, ranging from 3,100 sq. ft. to 45,720 sq. ft., allow for personalized construction, appealing to investors and families alike.
As a standout project in Sharjah, Tilal City combines luxury with practicality. Its proximity to Emirates Road (E611) ensures connectivity, while planned amenities like a mosque, school, community centers, and a 5-star hotel enhance its appeal. Though the completion date isn’t specified, its scale and innovative ownership options position it as a game-changer in the emirate’s real estate market, drawing interest from both local and international buyers.
