Masaar 3

The third phase of a forest community that has already become iconic in Sharjah

Masaar 3 is the most ambitious chapter in a real estate story that has established itself as one of the most remarkable in the Emirates. The first two phases of Masaar made a serious splash on the market: Masaar 2 sold out in barely three hours after launch, becoming one of the fastest-selling projects in the entire history of UAE real estate. Masaar 3 follows in that tradition, but on an even larger scale.

The project comprises 4,000 villas and townhouses spread across eight gated residential neighbourhoods, representing a total investment of AED 12.5 billion. Developed by Arada, one of the strongest developers in the region, Masaar 3 places community living, nature and wellbeing at the heart of its concept, with contemporary architecture seamlessly integrated into an exceptional wooded setting. The first units are expected to be handed over from late 2027.

Smart homes set within a forest of 100,000 trees

The first thing that stands out about Masaar 3 is the sheer scale of its landscaping vision. A green spine planted with 100,000 trees runs through the community, linking the different neighbourhoods together and creating an atmosphere that is genuinely out of the ordinary for an urban development in the Emirates. Far from the stark, arid feel sometimes associated with Sharjah, Masaar 3 feels closer to a leafy European residential district than a conventional Gulf real estate project.

The homes combine open-plan layouts, smart home systems, floor-to-ceiling windows and private outdoor spaces with greenery. Each home also includes a maid's room, fully fitted bathrooms, international-brand appliances and minimalist finishes in neutral tones. The townhouses offer 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms, while the villas come in 4 and 5-bedroom configurations with generous floor areas suited to large families.

An active, family-oriented setting designed for every generation

At the heart of the community lies a swimmable lagoon featuring a landscaped waterfall, a true focal point that gives Masaar 3 its most distinctive character. Around it, the amenities span a broad range: cycling paths and jogging trails, football, basketball, tennis and padel courts, relaxation areas and communal gathering spaces. A wellness pavilion, swimming pools, a zen garden and a well-equipped gym round out the sports and wellbeing offering.

The community has been designed so that families never need to leave to enjoy a genuine quality of life. Everything encourages outdoor activity, daily sport and shared moments between neighbours, all within a secure and protected environment.

Sharjah, a strategic alternative winning over a growing number of investors

Masaar 3 is located in the Al Suyoh district of Sharjah, with direct access to Emirates Road. Sharjah International Airport is 15 minutes away, and Dubai's airport a 30-minute drive. The community is close to Tilal City, the Sharjah Mosque and major shopping destinations such as Nasma Central and Al Zahia City Centre.

For French-speaking investors, Masaar 3 represents a particularly compelling entry point into the Emirates property market. Freehold ownership is available to expatriates, something still relatively uncommon in Sharjah. Prices remain significantly lower than those in Dubai for comparable properties, while still offering genuine connectivity with the neighbouring emirate. It is this balance of quality, space and value that appeals to families and investors seeking long-term returns in a market that remains undervalued.
