Sharjah's Island Properties Attract Hundreds of Investors
Ajmal Makan to Unveil Waterfront Projects as Demand for Coastal Living Grow.
With rising demand for upscale coastal living in the UAE, Ajmal Makan Real Estate Development is making waves by spotlighting its flagship island communities. This exclusive showcase not only highlights their visionary projects but also reaffirms Sharjah’s evolution into a premier waterfront destination.
Global Buyers Turn Their Eyes Toward Sharjah
Sharjah’s coastal property market is gaining serious momentum as international and regional investors flock to Ajmal Makan’s latest exhibition. Held earlier today, the showcase introduced an exciting new chapter in high-end living with residential projects nestled within a massive Dh25 billion master-planned city.
A Glimpse into Ajmal Makan City – Sharjah Waterfront
At the heart of the event were three standout developments: Al Thuraya Island, The View Island, and Blue Beach Residence. These form part of Ajmal Makan City, an ambitious 60-million-square-foot community designed to accommodate over 60,000 residents across eight private islands. It’s among the most expansive waterfront projects in the Northern Emirates.
“The demand for waterfront properties in Sharjah is accelerating, driven by limited supply and a growing interest in lifestyle-led investments,” said Sultan Al Shakrah, CEO of Ajmal Makan Real Estate Development. “Through this event, we’re offering a first-hand look at projects that represent not only architectural excellence but also long-term value and community-building.”
Island Living Meets High Investment Potential
Investors are increasingly drawn to the unique lifestyle offered by Ajmal Makan’s integrated island communities. These developments offer more than just stunning ocean views—they promise attractive rental returns, freehold ownership, and eco-conscious urban planning amid sprawling beaches and lush greenery.
A Booming Market with International Appeal
Sharjah’s property market continues to strengthen, drawing attention from both regional and overseas buyers. Ajmal Makan’s event has become a focal point in this trend, underscoring the emirate’s ascent as a luxury real estate hotspot. The demand is strong across the board—from capital gains seekers to families looking for a serene island lifestyle.
Who’s Buying? Insights from the Showcase
Roughly 60% of attendees are end-users looking for a primary or holiday home, while 40% are investors focused on income generation and long-term growth. Buyers hailed from the UAE, GCC countries, India, Pakistan, Russia, China, and Europe—reflecting the global appeal of Sharjah’s evolving waterfront.
Market Trends: Coastal Property on the Rise
Coastal homes across the UAE are in high demand, with waterfront properties witnessing a 17% annual price increase. Some Sharjah districts have seen gains as high as 20%. Freehold beachfront access for all nationalities further strengthens the emirate’s investment appeal.
Sharjah’s Rental Yields Add to the Allure
Ajmal Makan’s offerings continue to attract savvy investors, with estimated rental yields for coastal properties ranging between 5% and 8%, as reported by Bayut & dubizzle. This makes the developer’s portfolio even more attractive for long-term portfolio growth.
“This is exactly where Ajmal Makan delivers—blending exclusivity, community, and accessibility into a future-ready model for coastal living,” added Al Shakrah.
Confidence Grows as Previous Phases Sell Out
Many of the attendees are not newcomers—they’re returning buyers who previously invested in successful phases like Sun Island and Blue Bay Walk. With the early phases completely sold out, confidence in Ajmal Makan’s projects and vision remains strong.
The Future of Coastal Urban Living
As premium waterfront land becomes more limited, Ajmal Makan City emerges as a forward-looking model for sustainable, upscale living. By combining private island charm with robust investment potential, it offers an enticing blueprint for the next era of real estate in Sharjah.
