Sharjah Terraces: Large Waterfront Apartments by Al Thuriah in Al Khan
Sharjah Terraces is a residential development by Al Thuriah in Al Khan Lagoon, one of Sharjah's established waterfront sub-districts. The project focuses exclusively on apartments, but at sizes that put them in a different category than the typical apartment buyer is used to. If you are a family weighing a villa against a managed building, this warrants a closer look.
Al Khan sits on the eastern edge of Sharjah, directly along the lagoon. The area has an existing residential population and a distinctly waterfront character that inland Sharjah does not offer. Road connections to Dubai run via Al Ittihad Road and Emirates Road. The commute to Deira runs roughly 20 to 30 minutes under normal traffic. Business Bay and Downtown Dubai add another 15 to 20 minutes on top of that. For buyers who prioritise space per dirham over proximity to Dubai's commercial core, Al Khan makes a straightforward case.
AED 2M to AED 2.5M: What That Actually Buys
The price range is narrow: AED 2,000,000 for the three-bedroom layouts, AED 2,500,000 for the four-bedroom. The spread reflects the bedroom count, not a meaningful difference in finish or view between the configurations.
What makes this range interesting is the floor area. The three-bedroom units run from 3,635 to 4,130 square feet, depending on the layout. The four-bedroom reaches 4,485 square feet. Priced at roughly AED 484 to 550 per square foot, the three-bedroom types deliver a footprint that competes with townhouses in many communities.
The buyer at AED 2M is likely a family that needs generous living space and is willing to trade a garden for lower maintenance and building services. Three bedrooms at 4,000 square feet gives considerable room for children, a home office, and live-in help. The buyer at AED 2.5M wants more sleeping rooms in addition to that volume, and the four-bedroom layout delivers 4,485 square feet to work with.
Al Khan Lagoon: The Location's Practical Case
The project sits within Al Khan Lagoon, which means the waterfront is the immediate setting, not a distant view across a highway. The amenity list confirms water views and landmark views across unit types. In this context, those views point toward the lagoon rather than an urban skyline, which is a different lived experience.
Daily practicalities: Sharjah's road network puts the project within accessible range of Dubai without placing it in the middle of the border corridor congestion. The Al Khan area has supermarkets, schools, and medical facilities within a short drive. For a family relocating to Sharjah to gain space while keeping Dubai work options open, the logistics hold up.
What Comes with the Building
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Everyday comfort | Central A/C, Built-in Wardrobes, Balcony, Covered Parking |
| Recreation | Shared Pool, Shared Gym, Children's Play Area |
| Views | View of Water, View of Landmark |
| Support | Maids Room, Security |
The maids room is worth flagging. Across all three unit types, a dedicated maids room is included rather than carved out of the main floor area. For households with live-in domestic staff, that distinction matters. It preserves the usable living space in a meaningful way.
The recreation setup is family-oriented: pool, gym, and a dedicated children's play area. Security and covered parking round out a complete package for a managed building in this price range. Nothing unusual in the list, but the basics are all there.
Construction and Handover Status
Construction on Sharjah Terraces began in April 2024, with an originally scheduled completion of December 2025. That date has passed. The project is at or approaching handover, which substantially changes the risk profile relative to an early off-plan commitment. A buyer entering now is looking at a near-complete or completed building rather than a multi-year construction timeline. The off-plan execution phase is effectively behind this development.
