Developer Arada said it recently awarded a US $168.86mn construction contract for Anantara Sharjah Resort and Anantara Sharjah Residences. The project is billed as a luxury seafront destination on Al Heera Beach in Sharjah.
Intermass Engineering & Contracting has been appointed to carry out the works over a 24-month construction period. Preliminary enabling and foundation works are already complete, and construction activity is now progressing on the site. The site will host a luxury Anantara hotel and 128 Anantara branded residences, the developer said.
Owned and developed by Arada and operated by Minor Hotels, the Anantara Sharjah Residences and Anantara Sharjah Resort will feature striking architecture including a signature gateway that is designed to show the path of the sun. The complex is located on the north-eastern edge of Al Heerah Beach, a popular tourist destination in its own right with 3.5km of beachfront containing jogging and cycling tracks and a wide variety of dining options, the statement noted.
Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada said, “This contract will bring one of Sharjah’s most distinctive luxury destinations to life on the coast of the Arabian Gulf. With its exceptional architecture and beachfront setting, the Anantara Sharjah complex will elevate the emirate’s appeal to international travellers and discerning homeowners.”
The project marks the debut of the Anantara brand in Sharjah, and offers a range of branded residences from one-to-four bedroom units, including duplex penthouses with rooftop pools and private balconies. Each unit boasts quality flooring, work surfaces, premium white goods, generous living spaces, and floor-to-ceiling windows that lead to balconies furnished with views, the developer explained.
