Darb by Alef Group: Apartments in Al Mamsha, Sharjah
Darb is a residential apartment project by Alef Group, located in Al Mamsha within the Muwaileh area of Sharjah. Construction started in July 2024, with a completion date of December 2025 that has now passed. Buyers today are looking at a delivered or near-delivered building, not an extended off-plan wait.
Al Mamsha, Muwaileh: Location in Practice
Al Mamsha is a mixed-use walkable district in Muwaileh. It sits within reach of Dubai via major road connections, with central Dubai roughly 30 minutes away under normal traffic. For buyers who work in Dubai but want more space per dirham, Muwaileh is a practical choice.
The amenity profile here aligns with a family and long-term resident market. On-site restaurants, a children's play area, and landscaped communal space point toward a project aimed at people who want day-to-day convenience close to home. Investors looking at rental demand in this location are targeting that same profile.
From AED 639,000 for a One-Bedroom
Pricing runs from AED 639,000 to AED 1,599,000, covering three bedroom configurations with clear size tiers.
One-bedroom units start at AED 639,000. Two layouts are available: a compact 703 sq ft version and a more spacious 942 sq ft option. The entry price point is accessible for an amenitied project in this district. First-time buyers and small investors are the natural audience at that level.
Two-bedroom units start at AED 709,000, with sizes clustering around 1,287 to 1,296 sq ft across both layout types. The step up from a one-bedroom in price is modest relative to the additional space, making the two-bedroom a competitive option for couples or small families with flexibility in budget.
Three-bedroom apartments are priced at AED 1,599,000 at 1,789 sq ft. The jump from two to three bedrooms is the sharpest in the range. This tier targets established families who need more room and are willing to pay for it.
Apartments Across Three Size Categories
All units at Darb are apartments. The project covers one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts, each available in two variants (Type 1 and Type 2) with minor floor plate differences. One-bedrooms suit singles and investors. Two-bedrooms work for couples and small families. Three-bedrooms serve larger households who want a community environment with space.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool, Landscaped Gardens, Barbecue Area |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Lifestyle | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Seven amenities for a project at this price point is a capable package. The indoor pool stands out for practical reasons: UAE summers are intense, and an indoor facility stays usable year-round where an outdoor pool is often too hot from June through September. The children's play area and barbecue space confirm the family-first orientation. Together this set targets residents who want core recreational amenities close to home without going off-site.
Completion in December 2025
Construction started in July 2024, with an expected completion of December 2025. That date has passed, which means the project is likely at or past the handover stage. The off-plan risk period is effectively over for buyers entering now.
64% After Handover
| Payment Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| During construction | 36% |
| Post-handover | 64% |
The structure puts the majority of the price into the post-handover period. On a AED 639,000 one-bedroom, the during-construction obligation is roughly AED 230,000. The remaining AED 409,000 falls due after keys are handed over. Since the project has hit its completion date, buyers entering now move quickly from the construction schedule into the post-handover installment phase.
For investors, the post-handover portion can be aligned with rental income from the unit. The front-end commitment is low relative to the total price, which reduces capital tied up before the asset generates returns.
