Layla Residences by Eagle Hills: Getting In at the Final Stage
10% down, five months to completion, and a Sharjah waterfront address in Al Khan. Layla Residences sits in an unusual position for an off-plan project: most of the construction is behind it.
Eagle Hills on Maryam Island
Eagle Hills is developing Layla Residences on Maryam Island, a waterfront development in Al Khan, Sharjah. The island sits on Khalid Lagoon, giving residents water views and a setting that is distinct from Sharjah's typical urban districts.
Al Khan lies between Sharjah's city centre and the Sharjah-Dubai border. That position gives residents access to both directions by road without committing to the density of the city core.
Location: What Al Khan Means in Practice
Maryam Island is not isolated. The Al Khan Corniche runs nearby, and the surrounding district has established retail and dining options. For buyers working in Dubai, the address puts Deira, Business Bay, and the eastern districts within a practical commute. For Sharjah-based workers, the distances are shorter still.
The island setting trades city-grid density for lower traffic and a calmer residential environment. That positioning suits families or buyers who want a quieter home base without being cut off from the road network.
What AED 860K to AED 1.85M Actually Covers
The price range runs from AED 860,888 to AED 1,850,888. The spread reflects unit size. All units at Layla Residences are apartments, covering one, two, and three bedrooms.
One-bedrooms start at AED 860,888 and come in sizes from 763 sq ft to 1,184 sq ft depending on layout. Two-bedrooms start at AED 1,250,888, covering 1,304 to 1,380 sq ft. Three-bedrooms top out at AED 1,850,888, with sizes from 1,952 to 2,202 sq ft.
Buyers at the low end get an entry-level waterfront one-bed. Buyers at the high end get a spacious three-bed that can fit a family comfortably. The jump from two-bed to three-bed pricing is around AED 600,000, matching the step up in living area from roughly 1,380 sq ft to nearly 2,200 sq ft.
What the Building Offers
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Barbecue Area |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| On-site | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor pool stands out in this list. It gives residents a swimming option during the UAE summer, when outdoor facilities become difficult to use in the heat. The on-site restaurants mean daily dining is available without leaving the building. Together with the children's play area and landscaped gardens, the facility set suits residents who want day-to-day life handled close to home.
Five Months to Handover
Construction started in August 2024. Expected completion is January 2027, approximately five months from now.
That is a short window for an off-plan purchase. Buyers focused on delivery risk have less exposure here than they would entering a project in its early phases. Buyers who prefer a long off-plan runway, whether for capital appreciation or to delay the large payment obligation, will find that window is already closed at this project.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 20% |
| At handover | 70% |
The 10% down payment keeps the initial outlay low. The structure is front-light and back-heavy: 70% falls at handover in January 2027. The 20% during construction spreads across the five remaining months of the build period.
For buyers using a mortgage, the handover date and mortgage completion timeline need to align, given how close January 2027 is. Cash buyers have a clear schedule: 10% at entry, 20% over the build period, and 70% at the keys.
