Project highlights: Maryam Island and Kalba Waterfront Mall
A focal point of the agenda was regarding updates on the flagship developments under their partnership, showcasing tangible progress and market momentum.
Maryam Island: Achieved a 99% sell-out reflecting strong investor demand.
Kalba Waterfront Mall: Progress on leasing retail spaces already aiming to boost tenant diversity and tourism in Sharjah’s Eastern Region.
The financial performance highlighted Sharjah’s appeal to global investors and professionals, driven by operational efficiency and strategic projects.
This included a review of Maryam Island’s strong sales performance, Sharjah’s premier mixed-use waterfront development, with over 3,000 diverse units and more than 1,200 already handed over.
This near sell-out of the joint development reflects investor confidence and demand, driven by the strategic location, luxury amenities, and a notable increase in value, signaling strong capital appreciation. Demand for key developments within the project exemplify the project’s market resonance.
Construction progress was also reviewed, highlighting steady advancement across completed phases and ongoing developments, with work continuing towards phased handovers in line with the partnership’s broader vision.
Meanwhile, Kalba Waterfront Mall, Sharjah’s largest retail and leisure development in the Eastern Region, reported encouraging leasing activity, with a majority of its leasable area either operational or under fit-out. Residing along Kalba’s picturesque shoreline, the destination features 80 units, diverse indoor and outdoor dining experiences, and a 1,600 square metre children’s play area. The project has been instrumental in driving footfall, supporting entrepreneurship, and offering new employment and tourism opportunities in Kalba.
Financial performance and forward momentum
The meeting also included a detailed overview of the joint venture’s overall financial performance for 2025. Presentations highlighted key performance indicators, sales volumes, and operational efficiencies that have contributed to the partnership’s continued success. The performance of this year builds upon the previous achievements showing a consistency through delivered projects that merge local expertise with global standards.
The meeting concluded with a forward-looking resolve to prioritise innovation, sustainability, and stakeholder engagement across all projects, and as Sharjah continues to chart its course as a global investment destination, such strategic dialogues underscore the emirate’s efforts towards excellence and inclusive growth.
