Linar by Alef: Apartments in Al Mamzar, Sharjah, From AED 860K
Alef Group's Linar is a residential apartment project in Al Mamzar on the Sharjah side of a coastal district that spans the Dubai-Sharjah border. Construction started in May 2026 with handover targeted for December 2030. The payment structure is the headline: a 10% down payment with 40% deferred to post-handover places this among the more accessible off-plan entry points currently available in the UAE.
Getting In for 10%
The down payment on a one-bedroom at the opening price is AED 86,000. That is the sum needed to secure the purchase. The full schedule:
| Milestone | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 40% |
| At handover | 10% |
| Post-handover | 40% |
The 40% post-handover portion is the significant number here. Buyers take possession after paying 60% of the total purchase price. The remaining balance is paid after keys are received. For an investor, that creates a window to place a tenant and generate rental income before the final tranche falls due. For an owner-occupier, it means settling in before the purchase is fully complete. This is a structure that reduces front-loaded risk in a project with a four-and-a-half-year build period.
What AED 860K to AED 1.85M Covers
Linar offers three apartment configurations. 1-bedrooms start at AED 860,000, the entry-level option for single residents, couples, or investors targeting rental income in an established coastal neighbourhood. 2-bedrooms open at AED 1,450,000, suited to small families or buyers stepping up from a one-bedroom without reaching the top tier. 3-bedrooms begin at AED 1,850,000, the full-size choice for buyers who want space, coastal access, and a complete amenity set at a price point substantially below what equivalent addresses would cost on the Dubai side of the same district.
The spread from AED 860K to AED 1.85M reflects genuine differences in configuration and scale. It is not an inflated range built on finishes or floor levels.
Al Mamzar: Coastal Access at Sharjah Prices
Al Mamzar is split between Dubai and Sharjah. Linar sits on the Sharjah side, giving buyers access to the same coastline and Al Mamzar Beach Park at land costs that reflect Sharjah rather than Dubai. For buyers familiar with the area, this is a known trade-off.
Road access is practical. The E311 and E11 connect the neighbourhood to Sharjah's commercial districts and to Deira in Dubai in roughly 15 to 20 minutes under normal traffic. Buyers commuting to Deira, Al Qusais, or the industrial zones near the border will find the journey competitive with many Dubai-side addresses at a lower purchase cost. Al Mamzar Beach Park sits close to the development and provides waterfront recreation within easy reach.
The neighbourhood is established residential. Retail, schools, and clinics are already present rather than projected for later phases.
Amenities Built Around Residents
| Category | Facility |
|---|---|
| Fitness and wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor living | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Safety | CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool is the standout item in this list. Outdoor pools are standard at this price segment and are functionally limited for three to four months of the UAE summer when temperatures make them impractical. Indoor access removes that seasonal constraint. The full combination of gymnasium, indoor pool, landscaped gardens, children's play area, and on-site restaurants points toward a family-oriented building aimed at long-term residents rather than a project built around short-stay rental returns.
A December 2030 Handover
Construction began May 2026. Handover is scheduled for December 2030, making this a four-and-a-half-year build from launch. For buyers entering now, the 40% during-construction installments spread across approximately 54 months. Monthly payments across that period remain modest relative to the total purchase price. Entering at the construction start means the full payment runway is available, with no installments already elapsed.
At handover, 60% of the price is due in total. The remaining 40% post-handover is then paid in stages after possession, extending the cash commitment beyond the construction period and giving buyers continued flexibility after taking the keys.
