looks to involve substantial projects involving large amounts of time, personnel, cooperation between strategic partners, and investment. El-Masri tells that “we work very closely with our strategic partners. They are very helpful with infrastructure, and we work with them very closely to meet requirements and regulations, with business practice and on the ground.”

With such a large project you might expect a complex and perhaps unwieldy supply chain. However, according to El-Masri Sharjah Oasis has avoided this by streamlining operations at the planning stage. Before any of the physical foundations of Sharjah Waterfront City were laid the company “worked for almost a year and a half just working on the program, sharing the knowledge and brainstorming with our strategic partners and suppliers”, ensuring efficiency when plans became reality. This process has seen Phase 1 of the project be launched successfully and progress with impressive intensity.

The Sharjah Waterfront CityWith the Middle East, and especially Dubai, becoming more and more famous for daring real estate projects – it’s necessary only to look at the Burj Khalifa to see what kinds of ambitions are being realised – it’s not surprising that another amazing development is currently underway. It’s difficult to exaggerate some of the complexities and scale involved in the creation of Sharjah Waterfront City. The project could be described as a hyper-developed archipelago, and will be comprised of eight natural islands connected by canals and bridges, spread across 36 square kilometres on the north eastern coast of the UAE. The whole development will have a luxury atmosphere, and will provide an extremely high standard of living for all its inhabitants.

Sharjah Waterfront City is a mixed use real estate project comprising of residential, commercial, retail, education, entertainment, and more, and enormous provisions have been made for a projected influx of tourism, said by the emirate of Sharjah’s Vision 2021 to attract 10 million tourists by the year 2021. Sharjah Waterfront City will accommodate over 120,000 residents – roughly the population of a medium-sized city in the United Kingdom.

“It’s difficult to exaggerate some of the complexities and scale involved in the creation of Sharjah Waterfront City

Extensive commercial facilities will also be created, so that the development will be a multi-use area with an incredible infrastructure, and fully deserving of the title ‘city’. Different areas of Sharjah Waterfront City will specialise in tourism, residential and commercial concerns, with vast infrastructure connecting these three aspects of living.

A short rundown of projects to be completed might include 200 mixed-use towers, 95 luxury apartment buildings, multi-level hotels and service apartments, over 1100 water-front and park-side villas, a shopping mall, and amenities such as mosques, schools and restaurants. These will involve financers, suppliers, engineers and architects all working together to see the project to completion.

Crystal Lagoon Water Theme ParkOne especially exciting part of Sharjah Waterfront City’s future is its Crystal Lagoon Water Theme Park. The theme park is set to become the development’s largest attraction for tourists, as well as benefiting its residents, many of whom will be raising families.

El-Masri explains the scale of this aspect of the waterfront city alone: “Based on and inspired by Sharjah Tourism Vision 2021, our crystal theme park is more than 1.5 million square feet, and carries between 29 and 34 attraction programs. It’s going to be adding value for our customers, and we expect tourism to increase with that development.”

Designed by world-renowned design firm Jack Rouse Associates and equipped with state of the art facilities and world-leading rides, the Crystal Lagoon Water Theme Park looks to become a jewel in Sharjah Oasis Real Estate’s crown, and key to the future success of Sharjah Waterfront City. A market and feasibility study prepared by Colliers International suggests that 1 million people are expected to visit the theme park every year.

Sustainability and new technologiesEmbracing new technologies is often not just a desirable addition to large-scale infrastructure projects such as this – sometimes they are absolutely necessary to see it through. New technologies are associated with routes towards increased sustainability, which is an important part of Sharjah Oasis’ plans. El-Masri tells that “part of our development program is to be working on new technologies, and to mine as much as we can from technology and sustainability. We are working with a few consultants right now in order to increase the provision of sustainable programs to power Sharjah Waterfront City.”
