Arada launches newest phase of its forest community, Masaar 3
With a total expected sales value of US $3.4bn, Masaar 3 will be delivered in eight phases and spread across a 21m sqft plot
Arada has launched Masaar 3, the latest and largest master plan of its forest community. Comprising 4,000 villas and townhouses spread across eight gated neighborhoods, Masaar 3 is set to raise the benchmark once again with its blend of expansive woodlands, immersive wellness facilities and the promise of smart, active living, the developer said in its statement.
With a total expected sales value of US $3.4bn, Masaar 3 will be delivered in eight phases, spread across a 21m sqft plot. Offering a mix of units from two- to five-bedroom homes, construction is set to commence in early 2026 and the first homes are scheduled for completion in 2027.
“Masaar has become one of the UAE’s most distinctive residential success stories. With every new community, we are reinforcing our commitment to wellness-led design, premium facilities and delivering homes that put families and nature first,” said HRH Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal, Executive Vice Chairman of Arada.
The project’s amenities are said to be designed to elevate everyday life, with a central lagoon pool featuring landscaped waterfalls, a gym and café forming a focal point for the community. The green spine will be home to more than 100,000 trees, interlaced with jogging and cycling tracks, wellness areas and shaded walking trails.
Residents will also enjoy district-specific facilities such as pools, padel and basketball courts, and children’s play areas, alongside a vibrant community centre, offering retail and dining outlets, plus a Zad food truck park. Family-friendly attractions include an adventure playground and a duck pond, while every home in Masaar 3 comes equipped with smart systems and premium appliances as standard, the developer said.
Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada added, “Masaar 3 builds on our experience and ongoing design refinement, as well as a deep understanding of what residents and investors want. The success of the Masaar brand is emblematic of growing buyer demand for sustainable, family-friendly living environments that also deliver capital appreciation and long-term value.”
Based in the Rowdat district of Sharjah, Masaar 3 is located between Masaar 2 and a fast-growing schools district, already home to two operational large-scale schools. Masaar 3 is also close to the original Masaar community, Tilal City and Sharjah Mosque, and offers excellent connectivity, with direct access to Khorfakkan Road, and proximity to Emirates Road (E611). Sharjah International Airport is 15 minutes away and Dubai International Airport is just 30 minutes away by car, the developer outlined.
Highlighting Masaar’s significance as a landmark development, HH Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, toured the community in September 2024, where he reviewed the newly completed homes and experienced firsthand the exceptional woodland environment that have set a new standard for residential living in the Emirate.
The first two Masaar communities, which together amount to 5,000 villas and townhouses are both sold out. More than 1,500 homes have already been delivered in the first Masaar community, with the remainder scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026. The first homes in Masaar 2 are on track for delivery in 2027, with the entire community set for completion by the end of 2028, the developer concluded.
