Arada launches “Layan" 5th phase of Masaar 3 in Sharjah

Masaar 3 has become one of the UAE’s fastest-selling suburban developments, with the first two phases launched in September 2025 selling out within just hours of their release. Construction contracts for the first six phases of Masaar 3, including Layan, will be awarded within the next three months.

Layan will offer a variety of two- to five-bedroom properties, all fitted with smart home systems and premium appliances as standard. Built around a distinctive green spine of 100,000 trees that connects each residential area to wellness, leisure, and retail facilities, Masaar 3 comprises eight gated neighbourhoods spread across a 21 million square foot master plan. 

Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada, stated: “We continue to observe resilient investor and end-user demand for Sharjah property, particularly at Masaar, one of the region’s most successful urban concepts. The brand’s appeal reflects strong buyer interest in wellness-led design and smart home living within sustainable, family-focused environments, which is why we anticipate considerable interest in Layan’s premium villas and townhouses.”

Layan residents will have access to a range of premium amenities, including a swimmable central lagoon pool with landscaped waterfalls, extensive jogging and cycling paths woven through woodland, padel and basketball courts, a dedicated gym and café, and a community hub featuring retail and F&B outlets. The community will also include various child-friendly attractions, such as an adventure playground and a duck pond.

Located in Sharjah’s Rowdat neighbourhood near Arada’s original Masaar community, Tilal City, and Sharjah Mosque, Masaar 3 is ideally positioned between Masaar 2 and an emerging education district, which already hosts two large schools. It offers excellent connectivity, with direct access to Khorfakkan Road and close proximity to Emirates Road (E611). Sharjah International Airport is only a 15-minute drive away, while Dubai International Airport is just 30 minutes by car.

Sharjah’s real estate sector experienced a strong start to 2026, with 7,299 transactions valued at AED4.6 billion recorded during Ramadan – an increase from AED2.7 billion in the same period last year.

More than 1,500 homes have already been delivered in Arada’s first Masaar community, with the remaining 1,500 scheduled for completion by the end of this year. Masaar 2, comprising 1,997 homes – all of which sold out within three hours of launch in 2025 – is set to be completed by mid-2028.
