Shurooq Unveils Phase 3 Of Ajwan Khorfakkan Residences With New Towers And Amenities

The Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) has announced the commencement of Phase 3 sales for Ajwan Khorfakkan residences. This phase introduces two new residential towers, Layan and Juman, enhancing the project's appeal as a premier coastal destination on the UAE’s East Coast. The launch also coincides with appointing Darwish Engineering Emirates as the main contractor, responsible for overseeing all construction phases.

Ajwan Khorfakkan residences cover an area of 89,100 square metres. The development includes six residential buildings with 185 apartments offering views of the Gulf of Oman or Khorfakkan’s mountainous landscape. Phase 3 features two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, along with premium duplexes. Layan provides direct access to the seafront boardwalk, while Juman offers marina views and waterfront promenades.

Yousif Ahmed Al Mutawa, Chief Real Estate Officer at Shurooq, highlighted that this launch is a significant milestone in transforming Khorfakkan into a leading coastal destination. He emphasised that Layan and Juman blend modern design with natural surroundings, presenting a robust investment opportunity supported by quality infrastructure and amenities.

Baha Nahawi, General Manager of Darwish Engineering Emirates, expressed pride in being selected to deliver this project. He stated that it aligns with Sharjah’s ambitious vision for the East Coast and will be executed to high-quality standards. The company brings extensive experience in large-scale residential projects to this development.

The master-planned development boasts resort-style amenities such as a private marina, beach access, swimming pools, gyms, landscaped spaces, and various retail and F&B outlets. These features are designed to create a vibrant community lifestyle. The strong sales in Phases 1 and 2 indicate growing demand for beachfront properties in the region.

Existing buildings like Al Joon, Saahil, Mawj, and Ghadeer continue to attract interest from both end-users and investors. Shurooq noted that rising interest in Ajwan Khorfakkan mirrors Sharjah’s robust real estate performance. Property transactions across the emirate reached AED44.3 billion in the first nine months of 2025, marking a 58.3 percent increase compared to the same period in 2024.

Shurooq's Broader Real Estate Portfolio

Ajwan Khorfakkan residences are part of Shurooq’s expansive real estate portfolio which includes Maryam Island and Sharjah Sustainable City. These projects set benchmarks for lifestyle-focused and sustainable living within the emirate. The ongoing success of these developments underscores Shurooq's commitment to enhancing Sharjah's real estate landscape.
