The Gate by Arada: Apartments in Sharjah's Aljada District
ARADA is the developer behind The Gate, a residential apartment building in the Aljada district of Sharjah. The project sits within a named sub-district called The Gate, one level down from the broader Aljada area in the location hierarchy. The address places residents inside a larger planned district rather than an isolated standalone tower.
A Sharjah Location with Dubai Road Access
Aljada sits in Sharjah, close to the Dubai border. The address connects to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, the main east-west artery linking Sharjah to central Dubai. From that road, the drive to Deira or Bur Dubai typically runs 25 to 35 minutes. Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are further west, often 45 to 60 minutes in normal traffic.
For buyers who work in Dubai but want to reduce their property costs, a Sharjah location on this highway corridor offers a workable commute while bringing the purchase price down substantially relative to equivalent Dubai apartments.
What AED 611,000 Covers
The starting price at The Gate is AED 611,000. The project offers one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments. One-bedroom units run 675 to 681 sq ft. Two-bedroom options span from 995 to 1,275 sq ft across multiple layout configurations. The three-bedroom type comes in at 1,680 sq ft.
Against a 675 sq ft one-bedroom, the implied rate on AED 611,000 is approximately AED 905 per sq ft. That figure positions The Gate at the entry level of Sharjah's apartment market.
Who Each Configuration Suits
The bedroom mix gives the project relevance across different buyer types. The one-bedroom units suit investors looking to enter the Sharjah rental market at low capital outlay, or individuals who want an affordable base with manageable access to Dubai. The two-bedroom range, spanning 995 to 1,275 sq ft in several layout variants, covers the professional who needs a home office as well as a couple looking for genuine space to live. The three-bedroom at 1,680 sq ft is the natural family option, delivering three separate rooms at a purchase price that would buy significantly less floor space in Dubai.
What Nine Amenities Signal
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Building services | Elegant Lobby, Concierge, Security, Covered Parking |
| Fitness and leisure | Shared Gym, Shared Pool |
| Family and living | Children's Play Area, Balcony, Built-in Wardrobes |
Nine amenities across comfort, security, and active use. A concierge adds a managed front-of-house service alongside the pool, gym, and security. The children's play area, combined with the three-bedroom unit type in the mix, points to a project oriented toward families and longer-term residents rather than short-term investor buyers. Covered parking is a practical inclusion in Sharjah's climate and a feature residents rely on every day.
The Building Is Likely Delivered
Construction at The Gate started in April 2024 with an expected completion of September 2024. That date has now passed. Buyers here are most likely purchasing a completed unit, which means entering a building that is already standing rather than committing capital to a future delivery. What you are buying exists.
Getting In for 15%
| Payment Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 15% |
| During construction | 15% |
| At handover | 70% |
The down payment is 15%, which on AED 611,000 is AED 91,650. That is a low entry figure. The structure then asks for 15% across the construction period before concentrating 70% at handover. On a project that appears already completed, the handover payment is the most immediate obligation. For buyers using mortgage financing, the loan needs to be in place at the point of handover. There is no post-handover instalment plan, so the full purchase price settles at key handover rather than spreading into the ownership period.
