The Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), in collaboration with SEE Holding, has launched the Sharjah Sustainable City II, an integrated residential community that elevates eco-friendly urban living. 

The project builds on the exceptional success of Sharjah Sustainable City, the first sustainable residential community in the Emirate of Sharjah, said a WAM news agency report.

Spanning 7.8 million sq ft in the Al Rahmaniya area, Sharjah Sustainable City II sets new standards for sustainability by blending innovation with responsibility. At its heart lies a 2 km green spine, connecting the city and encouraging exploration through eco-friendly transportation options.

The community features 1,032 homes, including 944 townhouses, ranging from three- to four-bedroom units, and 88 five-bedroom villas that combine innovation with sustainability.

All homes have been designed as smart homes and are equipped with solar panels and energy-efficient appliances intended to reduce utility costs, it said.

The masterplan incorporates farmlands and biodomes for local food production, alongside biodiverse landscaping and ecological habitats that reinforce environmental stewardship, it added.
