Arada CBD — the Downtown of New Sharjah

Designed as the region's first post-pandemic business district, it pairs floor-to-ceiling glass, flexible open floor plates and smart-office technology with a landscaped green spine, rooftop terraces and ground-floor retail and dining.

Arada
Arada is one of the UAE's fastest-growing master developers, founded in 2017 and headquartered between Sharjah and Dubai. It built its reputation on large-scale, design-led communities — most notably Aljada and Masaar in Sharjah — and has since expanded into Dubai with branded wellness towers and into the UK and Australian markets. Aljada is Arada's flagship: a 24-million-sq-ft mixed-use megaproject in New Sharjah that brings together homes, schools, hotels, retail, entertainment (Madar, Naseej) and the Central Business District in a single master plan. Arada CBD is the commercial heart of that community — a 4.3-million-sq-ft district built specifically for how companies work today.
As the master developer of the whole community, Arada controls the infrastructure, amenities and tenant ecosystem around every office — and stands behind the offices in Building 10 with a contracted 8% net return for 10 years, making this a genuinely hands-off, income-producing commercial asset.

Arada CBD
The downtown of New Sharjah — freehold Grade A & B offices with a developer-guaranteed 8% net return for 10 years.
Arada CBD brings together everything that makes a business address work — a central, well-connected location at the heart of Aljada, future-ready offices with flexible floor plates and smart technology, a landscaped green spine and rooftop terraces, and a complete work-live-play ecosystem — wrapped in a hands-off investment: freehold ownership and a contracted 8% net return for a decade, from a master developer that controls the entire community.
8% Net Return, Guaranteed for 10 Years
Each office is sold with a Lease Management Agreement under which Arada leases it back and pays a net 8% a year for ten years — a contracted, hands-off income stream with the developer covering service charges and management.
The Downtown of New Sharjah
Arada CBD is the new commercial centre of Sharjah — 4.3 million ft² of prime leasable space across around 40 buildings, conceived as the region's first dedicated, amenity-rich business district.
Freehold Offices for Every Business
Grade A & B floor plates from 1,124 to 3,107 ft² suit corporates, SMEs and startups alike, with flexible layouts that allow future subdivision for multiple tenants — a wide, diversified tenant pool.
Built for How Companies Work Today
Floor-to-ceiling glass for natural light, open and flexible floor plans, smart-office technology and 5G infrastructure — designed around employee wellbeing, productivity and collaboration, not the office of a decade ago.
A Green, Human-Centric District
A landscaped 'green spine' forest park runs through the district, with shaded walkways, an amphitheatre, art installations and rooftop terraces set aside for events, networking and yoga.
Work, Live & Play in One Ecosystem
Tenants tap into the entire Aljada community — residences, the Rove Aljada hotel, retail and F&B, the Madar entertainment hub, schools and wellness — so employees live the ecosystem, not just the office.
Minutes from Two Airports
Direct access to Airport Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road puts the CBD about 5 minutes from Sharjah International Airport and 20–25 minutes from Dubai International Airport, with Dubai Downtown around 30 minutes away.
By Arada, the Master Developer
Arada controls the whole Aljada master plan — infrastructure, amenities and the tenant ecosystem around every office — and delivers Cluster 2 to WiredScore Platinum, LEED Silver and SmartScore standards.

Two ways to buy — both with a developer-guaranteed 8% net return for 10 years.
Arada offers two purchase routes for Building 10, each paired with a Lease Management Agreement that pays a net 8% a year for a ten-year fixed term. Option 1 — pay 100% up front, with the 8% net return accruing from the date of full payment and the first year's return paid one year later. Option 2 — the standard construction-linked plan of 50% during construction and 50% on completion, with the 8% net return accruing from the date of transfer (handover) and paid annually thereafter for ten years. Under the agreement Arada leases the office back and covers utility, service and management charges, making the income genuinely hands-off.
Why Arada CBD is a Smart Commercial Investment
Contracted Income
Unlike a typical off-plan purchase, every office at Arada CBD comes with a Lease Management Agreement: Arada leases it back and pays a net 8% per year for ten years, covering service and management charges. For an investor that is a hands-off, contracted income stream of 8% net on a freehold asset — rare in UAE commercial real estate and far above most residential net yields.
Scarcity & Tenant Demand
Sharjah's prime office vacancy runs at just 8–10% and the emirate is home to 66,000+ SMEs, yet purpose-built Grade A stock is scarce. As the new downtown of New Sharjah — minutes from the airport, University City and 1.8 million residents — Arada CBD targets a deep, diversified tenant pool of corporates, SMEs and startups, supporting both absorption and long-term capital growth.
