Eagle Hills Sharjah, a joint venture between Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) and Eagle Hills, has announced the launch of Shams Residences on Maryam Island, a first-of-its-kind luxury waterfront development in Sharjah’s Al Khan and Al Mamzar districts.

Offering unique, community living within Sharjah, the 59-units building is located within the Maryam Gate Residences community, the second phase of the Maryam Island mega-development.

Situated along the Maryam Island Boulevard, Shams Residences is designed with a contemporary spin on the traditional architecture of the region.  It covers 6,637 sq m of gross floor area, and is in close proximity to the retail offerings and the beaches of Mamzar and Al Khan.

All apartments use a striking colour and material scheme, with studios, one, two and three-bedroom units enjoying a light palette to maximise the sense of space and openness, while the four-bedroom penthouse uses darker hues to create an exceptional, premium look.

Maryam Island, the AED4.5-billion ($1.22 billion) mega development, overlooks the Arabian Gulf and offers residential apartments set amidst a wealth of upscale experiences and amenities. It is situated in the heart of bustling Sharjah, featuring a ‘souq’ and various facilities such as a spa, a fitness club, a swimming pool, and a children’s play area.

Eagle Hills CEO Low Ping says: “The launch of Shams Residences marks an important step for us as Maryam Island begins to take shape. The new building, located in downtown Sharjah, is within walking distance of pristine beaches, and is complete with unparalleled views and stunning design, promising residents intimate community living like no other.”

According to her, open space, including private gardens on the ground and podium levels, is central to design of the exquisite residential building, which aims to promote an active lifestyle for homeowners and tenants.

“Residents can take advantage of inviting amenities including dedicated swimming pools for children and adults, a children’s play area and a gym featuring state-of-the-art equipment. The upcoming community park, which is only a short walk away from the building, promises to be the perfect addition to complement healthy living.”

“We are confident this residential building will make an exciting new addition to Sharjah’s burgeoning real estate sector, with apartments designed to cater to families and those living independently,” she adds.
