Olfah 8 by Alef Group: Off-Plan Apartments in Muwaileh Commercial, Sharjah
About the Project
Olfah 8 is a residential apartment development by Alef Group, positioned in the Olfah sub-community of Muwaileh Commercial, Sharjah. The project offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. Construction is scheduled to begin in March 2027, with handover targeted for June 2030.
This is an early off-plan opportunity. Booking opens in March 2027 alongside the construction start, and entry is available on a 10% down payment from that date.
Muwaileh Commercial: What the Location Means
Muwaileh Commercial occupies Sharjah's eastern side, adjacent to University City and its concentration of universities, colleges, and research institutions. The district is primarily residential, housing families and working professionals in a quieter setting than Sharjah's older areas near the creek.
For connections to Dubai, the E611 (Emirates Road) and E311 (Mohammed Bin Zayed Road) are both accessible from Muwaileh. A commute to Deira or Al Qusais is workable on a daily basis. Reaching Downtown Dubai or Business Bay from Muwaileh adds meaningful travel time, particularly during peak hours.
Day-to-day services are solid across the area. Supermarkets, schools, clinics, and restaurants serve the wider Muwaileh Commercial district. The Olfah sub-community within it is a quieter residential pocket, newer in character and lower in density than Sharjah's denser older neighbourhoods.
One, Two, and Three Bedrooms
Olfah 8 covers three apartment sizes: one-, two-, and three-bedroom units.
A one-bedroom suits a single professional or couple entering the Sharjah market. Two-bedrooms serve small families or buyers who need a dedicated room for work or guests. Three-bedrooms are the family-scale choice, providing multiple separate rooms in an apartment format. The three-size range spans the typical household needs of most apartment buyers in this district.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Six amenities covers the practical fundamentals. The indoor swimming pool and gymnasium are the strongest pairing on the list: both operate independently of outdoor temperatures, giving residents reliable year-round use in Sharjah's climate. Landscaped gardens add green space within the complex. On-site restaurants address casual dining without leaving the development, which matters in a sub-community still filling out its street-level retail options.
The children's play area, alongside the three-bedroom unit option and the family-oriented location, signals clearly that Olfah 8 is targeting families in long-term residence rather than short-stay investors.
A Three-Year Build to June 2030
Construction begins in March 2027 and the handover target is June 2030. Booking also opens in March 2027, meaning buyers enter at the earliest stage of the project cycle. The build runs for approximately three years and three months.
That timeline is the central factor in the off-plan decision. Capital is committed for three-plus years without rental income during the build. The trade-off is that entering a project at construction start typically means better pricing and wider unit choice than entering later in the sales cycle. By the time handover arrives in mid-2030, the Olfah sub-community will have had additional years of development and settlement around it.
Entry on 10%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 10% |
| During Construction | 50% |
| At Handover | 40% |
A 10% down payment keeps the entry cost low relative to the full purchase price. The larger portion, 50%, is paid in instalments through the construction period between 2027 and 2030. The final 40% falls due at handover.
There is no post-handover payment plan. The full purchase price settles at or before handover. The 40% handover tranche is the single largest payment in the schedule.
