Nesba 1 By Arada: Apartments in Aljada, Sharjah
Nesba 1 is a residential apartment project by ARADA, located in the Nesba cluster within Aljada, Sharjah. Aljada is a master-planned development in central Sharjah, spanning multiple phases with retail, dining, and community facilities woven throughout.
Aljada: Location and Daily Life
Aljada sits on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, one of the main arterials connecting Sharjah and Dubai. Residents in Nesba can reach Mirdif, Al Qusais, and Deira within a reasonable commute along this route. Sharjah's central districts are also accessible without using the highway, useful for residents whose daily activities stay within the emirate.
Within the community, residents have restaurants, fitness facilities, and security on-site. Most daily needs are covered without leaving the development. For owner-occupiers, that convenience is a consistent benefit. For investors, Nesba 1's position within the broader Aljada master community means the surrounding infrastructure supports the residential offering directly.
1, 2, and 3-Bedroom Apartments
The project contains 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom apartments. The 2BR range is the broadest in size: 1,028 sq ft to 1,927 sq ft across more than a dozen layout configurations. 3-bedroom units span 1,967 sq ft to 2,407 sq ft.
The size spread within the 2BR category gives buyers real choices. A 1,028 sq ft 2BR and a 1,927 sq ft 2BR are different products in practical terms. The compact layouts suit buyers looking for a lower absolute cost. The larger 2BR formats serve those who want the space that typically requires a 3BR purchase, without paying the 3BR price.
The Price Range: AED 16.16M to AED 27.95M
Pricing runs from AED 16,160,000 to AED 27,950,000. The structure is clear: 2-bedroom units start at AED 16.16M and 3-bedroom units start at AED 27.95M. The AED 11.8M step between the two tiers tracks the significant jump in size and bedroom count.
At these levels, Nesba 1 sits in the premium segment of Sharjah's apartment market. The pricing reflects the integrated master-community setting and the scale of amenities built into the development. Buyers at the low end are entering a 2BR product; buyers at the high end are acquiring a large-format 3BR of over 2,400 sq ft.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Health Club, Gymnasium |
| Leisure | Shared Pool, Restaurants |
| Safety | Security |
Five amenities across three categories. The fitness provision runs on two tracks: a health club for broader wellness use and a gymnasium for equipment-based training. Having both removes the need for an external gym membership. On-site restaurants cut down the daily logistics of eating out. Security rounds out the baseline at this price point.
The amenity set reflects a project built for residents who value reliable daily infrastructure. There is nothing here that exists purely for a marketing checklist.
Timeline: Expected Completion December 2025
Construction started in April 2024. The target completion was December 2025, which has now passed. As of mid-2026, this project is likely in or approaching the handover phase.
Getting In for 5%: The Payment Structure
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 5% |
| During construction | 40% |
| Handover | 55% |
The 5% down payment is the standout feature of this structure. On a AED 16.16M unit, that is approximately AED 808,000 to secure the purchase. On a AED 27.95M unit, the 5% entry is around AED 1.4M. By UAE off-plan standards, those are low initial commitments relative to the total transaction size.
The back-loading is the key figure: 55% is due at handover. With the completion date now past, buyers engaging with Nesba 1 today should expect this payment to come due in the near term. There is no post-handover installment structure.
