The View Island, Ajmal Makan: Townhouses and a Villa on a Sharjah Waterfront Island
The View Island is a residential development by Ajmal Makan on an island parcel within Sharjah Waterfront City, a large master-planned community along the Sharjah coastline. The project offers four-bedroom townhouses and one five-bedroom villa. Construction started in February 2025 and the target completion is January 2028.
An Island Address Within a Developing Master Community
The project's address hierarchy tells you exactly where you are: Sharjah > Sharjah Waterfront City > Ajmal Makan City > The View Island. You are buying into the fourth layer of a nested master plan. The immediate context is the infrastructure of Ajmal Makan City rather than an established urban neighbourhood. The surrounding environment will continue to take shape over the same period as the project itself.
Sharjah borders Dubai, and the two emirates share major road links. Commutes from Sharjah Waterfront City to central Dubai are road-dependent and can be lengthy during peak hours. For a buyer whose work is in Dubai, daily travel time is a practical factor in this location's appeal. For an investor targeting rental demand within Sharjah, or a buyer whose workplace is in the emirate, the cross-border commute is less relevant.
AED 2.4M to AED 5.3M: Two Products, Not a Range
The listed prices run from AED 2,400,000 to AED 5,300,000. The gap is wide, but it does not represent gradual steps in size or finish. Two distinct products account for the difference.
The townhouses start at AED 2.4M. These are four-bedroom units ranging from 3,315 to 3,885 sq ft across more than a dozen layout configurations (Types A through T). The starting price holds consistent across all townhouse types, which suggests the variation is in internal layout rather than commercial value.
The AED 5.3M ceiling is a single five-bedroom villa (Type A) at 5,415 sq ft. This unit is roughly 2.2 times the townhouse entry price. A buyer considering the villa is not choosing a slightly larger townhouse. They are buying the only standalone, five-bedroom product in the project.
Townhouses for Families, One Villa for Buyers Who Need More
The community is built around the four-bedroom townhouse. Multiple layout variants offer configuration flexibility, but all townhouse units share the same bedroom count. The villa is the outlier: larger, standalone, and the only option for anyone who needs a five-bedroom configuration or prefers a fully detached home.
What the Amenity Set Says About This Community
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor and Leisure | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool is the standout item. Outdoor pools are standard in UAE communities of this type. An indoor pool extends usability through the summer months, when heat makes outdoor swimming impractical. On-site restaurants point to a community planned with a degree of self-sufficiency. The amenity set as a whole fits a family profile: gym, children's play area, secure landscaped gardens, and in-community dining.
January 2028 Handover: 18 Months Out
Construction broke ground in February 2025. The expected completion date is January 2028, roughly two and a half years from start. As of mid-2026, approximately 18 months of the construction window remain. For an off-plan buyer entering now, the timeline is defined and the project is already under way.
Getting In at 10% Down
| Payment Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 30% |
| Handover | 60% |
A 10% down payment is at the low end of what UAE off-plan typically asks. This reduces the immediate cash commitment and leaves more capital in hand during the build period.
The point to note is what follows. 60% becomes due at handover. There is no post-handover instalment option, so the balance closes entirely when the project delivers in January 2028. For a mortgage buyer, the loan drawdown needs to be in place by that date. For a cash buyer, the bulk of the purchase price commits at handover.
