Darb Phase 5 By Alef Group: Apartments at Al Mamsha, Sharjah
A Walkable Address Inside Muwaileh
Darb Phase 5 is the latest release in Alef Group's Darb series, located within Al Mamsha in Muwaileh, Sharjah. Al Mamsha is a pedestrian-designed residential community built around street-level retail, restaurants, and shared amenities. Day-to-day needs can be met on foot rather than by car.
Muwaileh sits near the Sharjah-Dubai boundary along the Emirates Road corridor, giving residents access to Dubai employment and commercial districts. University City is in the immediate area, which adds students and university workers to the local rental market.
Phase 5 follows earlier phases of the Darb series at Al Mamsha. The community environment around this building is already established, not something a buyer has to wait for.
AED 739K to AED 1.6M: What the Range Tells You
Pricing starts at AED 739,000 and reaches AED 1,599,000. That is a wide spread for a project offering apartments only. The variation most likely reflects unit size and floor level rather than a change in product type. A buyer at AED 739K is probably looking at a compact one-bedroom unit, suitable for a single professional or a couple prioritizing location over space. The upper range, near AED 1.6M, corresponds to larger units, likely two or three bedrooms, suited to families or buyers who want more room while staying inside Sharjah's price bracket.
The range gives the project appeal across both owner-occupier and investor buyers. The lower price points reduce the capital commitment while the walkable address supports rental demand from professionals and students in the area.
Apartments Across the Building
All units are apartments. There are no villas or townhouses in this phase. That consistency suits investors who want a single, clearly-defined asset class and end-users who want low-maintenance living. The walkable Al Mamsha setting strengthens the rental case, particularly for professionals who commute to Dubai.
What the Amenities Say
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Gymnasium, Shared Pool |
| Family and Social | Children's Play Area, Barbecue Area, Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The list covers the baseline expectations for this price range: a gym, a pool, a play area, and security. On-site restaurants are the element that stands out. They feed directly into the pedestrian design of Al Mamsha, allowing residents to eat without leaving the development. The children's play area and barbecue area point toward family households as the primary occupant profile. Together, the amenity mix signals a project aimed at community-oriented residents who want convenience built into their surroundings, rather than a luxury specification or a bare-minimum offering.
December 2025: The Handover Date Has Now Passed
Construction started in August 2024. The scheduled completion was December 2025, a date that has now passed. A buyer entering now is buying into a building that is at or past handover, not waiting through an active construction period. That puts the buyer well past the point where construction delays are a live risk. For anyone timing an entry around completion, that milestone has been reached.
64% Post-Handover: Understanding the Structure
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Handover | 36% |
| Post-Handover | 64% |
64% of the purchase price is payable after the buyer receives the keys, with only 36% due at handover. This places the bulk of the financial commitment into the post-handover period. For an investor, that structure creates a window between taking possession and completing the full payment, during which rental income can start. For an owner-occupier, it means moving in before the majority of the price has been settled, reducing the pressure to have the full amount available on handover day. The 36% entry at handover sets a lower immediate capital threshold, which makes the practical cost of entering this project lower than the headline price suggests.
