Construction work is progressing on track on the 79,353sqm Soor Kalba building project. The project is being developed at a cost of $29.3m in the Suhaila area of Sharjah. A total of 105 buildings are being constructed, which will comprise 420 apartments and 315 shops overlooking the Kalba Corniche.
According to a statement, the design of the buildings are characterised by a beautiful architectural style, where the aesthetic and Islamic architectural elements have been employed in a wonderful engineering method on the facades of the buildings.
Each of the buildings consists of four residential units and three retail units that are designed according to the latest engineering specifications to suit the purposes of housing and various businesses, the statement noted.
His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, recently inspected the Soor Kalba building project. As per his directives, Sharjah authorities have re-planned the area and are developing the urban appearance of the façades with distinct specifications to serve residents and visitors, and are aligned with the development of the Kalba Beach Road.
Sheikh Sultan was briefed on the project by Engineer Salah Bin Butti Al Muhairi, adviser to the Sharjah Department of Town Planning and Survey. Al Muhairi noted that the building area includes a private roofed hallway to serve pedestrians and shoppers.
The sites surrounding the project will also be developed and car parks will be provided, in addition to green spaces and a lagoon for practicing marine sports, he concluded.
