UAE real estate: BEEAH announces new Khalid Bin Sultan City project in Sharjah

BEEAH has announced the launch of Khalid Bin Sultan City, its first real estate development in Sharjah. The project marks the organisation's expansion into the real estate sector, building on its expertise across the environment, energy, technology, real estate, and healthcare sectors. The project was unveiled under the patronage of Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and in the presence of Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah. BEEAH reveals Sharjah's new freehold project Named after the late Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi, the development is described by BEEAH as a continuation of his legacy in design and urban planning. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the master-planned, mixed-use project will span a 1.5-kilometre-long plot, including BEEAH's LEED Platinum-certified headquarters in Sharjah, and will offer 1,500 freehold residential units. The city includes residential, commercial, cultural, and recreational zones. It will be divided into seven neighbourhoods, each centred around a plaza designed to be accessible within a five-minute walking distance. The project includes children's hubs, wellness clinics, sports facilities, and outdoor cafés. The development also includes a two-kilometre shaded linear park. The central park features cycling and running tracks, sculpture gardens, wellness areas, and shaded courtyards. The layout incorporates native trees, colonnades, and recessed façades to reduce ground temperatures and improve pedestrian comfort. According to BEEAH, the project was designed following the directive of Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Chairperson of the Supreme Council of Family Affairs and Chairperson of the Board of Directors of BEEAH. The city is built on four pillars – sustainability, technology, culture, and people. It will feature net-zero ready infrastructure, renewable energy systems, recycled water facilities, and sustainable mobility. It will also include AI-driven digital infrastructure and decentralised digital identities. Public art, a cultural centre, and architecture reflecting the local identity are also part of the plan. 'BEEAH's journey in real estate marks a transformative milestone with Khalid Bin Sultan City, a flagship real estate project that brings our principles of sustainability, technology, culture, and community to an urban scale. The city builds directly upon lessons learned from creating one of the world's most advanced office buildings – demonstrating how technology can scale sustainable impact across entire communities rather than just individual structures,' Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO and Vice Chairman of BEEAH said. The city will also include a design and business district with incubator spaces for the creative economy and venues to support entrepreneurship and circular design. This district will be connected to residential, retail, and entertainment zones. 'Our experience as a world-class visionary developer of landmark projects has led to today's announcement of Khalid Bin Sultan City, and the formalisation of BEEAH's wider expansion into real estate. This is a natural progression of our determination to build tomorrow's smart and sustainable cities. Inspired by our earlier achievements, we are now applying these same principles on an urban scale – demonstrating how technology can scale sustainable impact across entire communities rather than just individual structures. This city is a testament to the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Muhammad Al Qasimi and Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, whose unwavering commitment to sustainable development has guided BEEAH's journey,' he added. BEEAH's move into real estate follows earlier infrastructure and development projects. These include the organisation's Sharjah headquarters, the Jawaher Boston Medical District – designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop – and the Sharjah Creative Quarter, designed by Taller de Arquitectura – Mauricio Rocha in collaboration with Daniel Rosselló. 'We have designed Khalid Bin Sultan City as a dynamic ecosystem where diverse perspectives and talents converge, sparking new ideas and solutions for a sustainable future. We believe that building a better future starts with how we live today. This is why the city's design goes beyond utility – celebrating heritage, art, and identity through vibrant public spaces and cultural landmarks. The master plan and signature architecture by Zaha Hadid Architects bring this vision to life, blending innovation and beauty to create an environment that inspires, invites, and endures. It is a city where people can thrive, connect, and experience the best of sustainable living – all within a walkable, vibrant, and culturally rich environment,' Nada Taryam, CEO of Real Estate at BEEAH added. Khalid Bin Sultan City will offer villas, townhouses, and apartments in phases. As a freehold development, it is open to buyers of all nationalities. More details about unit types and services will be shared in future announcements. The announcement comes as Sharjah's real estate sector continues to grow. Transactions reached AED 13.2 billion in the first quarter of 2025, up 31.9 per cent year-on-year, according to the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department. The sector's growth is attributed to investor confidence, infrastructure development, and government support.

Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed attends Khalid Bin Sultan City Project launch

Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, attended on Thursday the launch ceremony of Khalid Bin Sultan City at BEEAH Group headquarters. The project, supervised and developed by BEEAH Group, affirms the pivotal and vital role it plays in supporting the urban development process witnessed by the emirate. The ceremony began with a film titled "We're are shaping the next era,' which explored the origins and evolution of BEEAH Group over time, expanding internationally, and transforming it from a small waste management company to a leading global institution exploring how to build a better future for all, offering various services in the fields of sustainability, energy, technology, healthcare, and real estate development. Khaled Al Huraimel, CEO and Vice Chairman of BEEAH Group, revealed that "Khalid bin Sultan City" represents a pivotal milestone for BEEAH in the field of real estate development, considering it a pioneering project that embodies the group's vision to reshape urban life. He described the project as an expansion of BEEAH's journey to build an integrated system of sustainable solutions in the environment, energy, technology, and healthcare sectors. Al Huraimel pointed out that thanks to BEEAH's diverse expertise in developing advanced infrastructure, from recycling facilities and environmental communities to clean energy systems and smart facilities, it has been able to embark on urban projects that reshape the future of sustainable living. He emphasised that the city is an extension of the directives of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, whose wise leadership has laid the foundations for sustainability and urban planning in the Emirate of Sharjah. The Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and the attendees then watched a film about Khalid bin Sultan City, which embodies BEEAH's vision for developing smart cities centred on sustainability and human connection. This project is inspired by the legacy of the late Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi, a pioneer in the field of urban design and planning, who left a clear mark on the urban identity of the Emirate of Sharjah. Nada Taryam, CEO of Real Estate Development at BEEAH, then delivered a speech in which she emphasised that through Khalid bin Sultan City, the group seeks to reimagine urban living and embody its vision of creating smart, sustainable cities that place people at the heart of their priorities. She added that this vision is now being embodied on the ground, through the integration of smart infrastructure with architectural design that celebrates identity, transforming public spaces into platforms for creativity, culture, and human interaction. Taryam revealed that Zaha Hadid Architects was commissioned to design the master plan, translating the group's vision for the project into designs that combine beauty and innovation, providing an inspiring, experiential environment that enhances quality of life. The ceremony concluded with a film screening detailing Khalid bin Sultan City, a model for a vibrant community that combines intelligence and sustainability, celebrates human connection, reflects a purposeful design philosophy, and embodies a profound harmony with the environment. The city will span an area of 1.5 kilometers and include 1,500 freehold residential units, commercial units, and spaces dedicated to culture and entertainment. The city will also house BEAAH's headquarters, which has achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification. After the ceremony, the Deputy Ruler of Sharjah toured the platforms showcasing the details of the Khalid bin Sultan City project, learning about its key features. The city, which is aligned with the directives and vision of Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Chairperson of BEEAH, aims to achieve a zero-waste system based on four key elements: sustainability, technology, culture, and human connection, is a vision that can be realised through the implementation of the project. Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed listened to an explanation of the city and its smart infrastructure that adheres to net-zero standards, renewable energy systems, water recycling facilities, and sustainable transportation solutions that support modern lifestyles. Smart technologies also contribute to enhancing infrastructure based on artificial intelligence and providing digital services, ensuring an integrated and seamless urban experience. The Deputy Ruler of Sharjah was briefed on the master plan, which aims to create walkable neighbourhoods, facilities that support a healthy lifestyle, and a vibrant community environment that inspires interaction, belonging, and shared growth. Khalid Bin Sultan City is planned to include seven distinct residential neighbourhoods, aiming to build a connected, human-centred community. Each neighbourhood revolves around a central plaza, a vibrant public space designed as a social hub and wellness space, located within a five-minute walking distance. It will also include children's centres and health clinics, in addition to sports facilities and outdoor cafes. At the heart of the project is a 2-kilometre green oasis, forming the city's natural backbone. It will feature jogging and cycling tracks, parks, and shaded plazas. Khalid Bin Sultan City will feature freehold residential units, including villas, townhouses, and apartments, offering a variety of carefully designed living options that combine sustainability, comfort, and modern amenities. Additional details about the availability of available units and community services will be revealed soon during future sales phases. At the end of the tour, the Deputy Ruler of Sharjah received a commemorative shield bearing the design of Khalid bin Sultan City, in appreciation and gratitude from BEEAH Group for his presence at the event. The launch ceremony was attended by the Deputy Ruler of Sharjah; Sheikh Dr. Salem Bin Abdulrahman Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Ruler's Office; Sheikh Fahim bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Department of Government Relations; Sheikh Saud bin Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Director-General of the Sharjah Digital Authority; Sheikha Hind bint Majid Al Qasimi, Director of the Sharjah Design Centre; and a number of senior officials, heads and directors of local and federal departments and authorities.

Sharjah, UAE – BEEAH, a sustainability pioneer driven by its expertise across environment, energy, technology, real estate, and healthcare, has announced the launch of Khalid Bin Sultan City, its first real estate development – a groundbreaking urban project that redefines sustainable living in the region.

This project is inspired by the legacy of the late Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi, one of the pioneers in the field of design and urban planning, who had a clear impact on the architectural identity of Sharjah. Designed by the world-renowned Zaha Hadid Architects, Khalid Bin Sultan City is a master-planned, mixed-use development that integrates residential, commercial, cultural, and recreational spaces.

Each neighbourhood is structured around a central plaza – a vibrant public space within a five-minute walking distance – designed to serve as a social and wellbeing anchor. From children's hubs and wellness clinics to sports facilities and outdoor cafés, every amenity is thoughtfully placed to support daily life and human connection. Redefining Urban Living Through Sustainability Following the directive of Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Chairperson of the Supreme Council of Family Affairs and Chairperson of the Board of Directors of BEEAH, Khalid Bin Sultan City was designed with sustainability embedded in every aspect of design and operation, making it a climate-smart, zero-waste city.

Prioritizing people, the city offers walkable neighborhoods, health-focused amenities, and a vibrant community atmosphere that fosters connection and well-being.

This design approach has been engineered to reduce ground temperatures, ensuring thermal comfort throughout the year while promoting walkability and environmental cohesion. Commenting on the launch, HE Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO and Vice Chairman of BEEAH, stated: 'BEEAH's journey in real estate marks a transformative milestone with Khalid Bin Sultan City, a flagship real estate project that brings our principles of sustainability, technology, culture, and community to an urban scale.

This new line of business builds on BEEAH's proven track record in creating future-ready, impactful developments.

These projects laid the foundation for BEEAH's entry into real estate. The journey in this new vertical began with its iconic LEED Platinum-certified headquarters in Sharjah, a model of sustainable design by Zaha Hadid Architects, followed by Jawaher Boston Medical District (JBMD), a world-class healthcare development integrating medical expertise with urban planning. The project, designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop, marks the renowned architect's first project in the Middle East, further elevating its architectural and cultural significance. Another flagship project is Sharjah Creative Quarter, a project entrusted to BEEAH by the Government of Sharjah, designed by award-winning architectural firm Taller de Arquitectura - Mauricio Rocha in collaboration with Daniel Rosselló, and envisioned as an innovative cultural hub fostering creativity and innovation.

EXCLUSIVE: Sharjah's BEEAH to unveil ‘major' UAE development in coming weeks, CEOs reveal

Sharjah-based sustainability pioneer BEEAH Group is preparing to announce a landmark real estate project that promises to redefine regional property development, the company's senior executives have revealed to Arabian Business. The diversified group, which began as a waste management company 17 years ago, has officially announced its entry into the real estate sector with what Group CEO and Vice Chairman Khaled Al Huraimel describes as a development 'set to redefine what's possible in regional real estate.' The announcement comes as Sharjah's property market experiences significant growth, with real estate transactions in the first quarter of 2025 increasing by 31.9 per cent compared to the same period last year. BEEAH's first regional property development project revealed BEEAH's entry into the sector aligns with the emirate's economic diversification efforts and builds upon the company's track record of achieving a waste diversion rate of over 90 per cent, among the highest globally. Speaking exclusively, Al Huraimel said the move represents a natural progression for BEEAH, which has expanded from waste management into clean energy, technology, and healthcare. 'Real estate development is a natural evolution for us,' he explained, adding that BEEAH's innovations in sustainability have 'ultimately been about shaping tomorrow's cities and elevating quality of life for all people. Today, we are taking the opportunity to shape our very own development, leveraging our entire ecosystem of innovations.' Whilst specific details remain under wraps, Nada Taryam, CEO of Real Estate at BEEAH, confirmed that the upcoming announcement will reveal 'a first-of-its-kind project in the region.' 'In the coming weeks, we'll be unveiling a major development — one that captures a vision we have nurtured for years.' The development will incorporate AI-powered building management systems that automatically regulate lighting, cooling, and energy use based on occupancy and time of day — technologies already successfully implemented at BEEAH's LEED Platinum-certified headquarters, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, Al Huraimel said. He added that the project aims to create 'an entirely new niche' rather than reproduce existing models. 'The goal is not to reproduce existing models but to create an entirely new niche. It's about setting benchmarks and raising expectations for sustainable living across the industry,' he said. BEEAH's real estate venture will also integrate technologies and expertise from across the group's operations. The company has developed from managing a single landfill in Sharjah to operating the region's first Waste-to-Energy plant and expanding into Saudi Arabia and Egypt with large-scale integrated waste management solutions. 'As a diversified group, we now represent an entire ecosystem of offerings for tomorrow's sustainable, smart cities: Environment, Energy, Technology, Healthcare, and now Real Estate,' Al Huraimel said. 'By pursuing real estate development, we are moving closer to our mission of pioneering a sustainable quality of life by launching projects with people at the heart of it,' he added. The integration will also extend to BEEAH's various subsidiaries and ventures such as ION, the group's green mobility platform will provide EV charging infrastructure, whereas digital ecosystem will offer on-demand logistics and waste recycling services. Moreover, EVOTEQ's supply chain technologies will enhance commercial operations within developments. Strategic partnerships to drive BEEAH real estate development plans Collaboration remains central to BEEAH's real estate strategy, following successful partnerships across its other sectors, the chief executives added. The group's healthcare venture, the Jawaher Boston Medical District, leverages expertise from US medical institutions including Mass General Brigham and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. 'Partnerships have been essential to BEEAH's success across every sector,' Al Huraimel said, adding as they expand into real estate, 'collaboration will remain at the core of our strategy. We are engaging with partners in architecture, engineering, mobility, energy, and smart systems, all of whom will be instrumental in bringing our developments to life.' The developments will feature comprehensive smart technology integration, drawing from BEEAH's experience across multiple sectors. The Sharjah Waste to Energy facility, developed through a joint venture with Masdar, generates enough low-carbon electricity to power nearly 60,000 homes, with expansion plans set to double this capacity. BEEAH is also developing the Middle East's first commercial-scale Hydrogen-from-Waste plant and, in partnership with Khazna Data Centres, is building Sharjah's first Tier 3 data centre with groundbreaking sustainability standards. 'Our goal for the technologies we will deploy in the city is to simplify day-to-day living, reduce resource consumption, and create a more connected, intuitive living experience,' Al Huraimel explained. Taryam outlined BEEAH's approach to real estate development, explaining that the projects focus on creating integrated spaces. 'Our developments will be integrated, intelligent, and purpose-built to serve people now and into the future,' she said. The approach builds on lessons learned from previous projects, including the BEEAH headquarters and Taryam's role as project manager and strategic lead for the Sharjah Creative Quarter. The latter project blends traditional design with modern functionality through green spaces, exhibition areas, courtyards, and collaborative workspaces. 'That experience reaffirmed the importance of placemaking, and the role of sustainable design in fostering creativity and human connection,' Taryam said. BEEAH's real estate developments will also prioritise human experience through green mobility solutions and comprehensive wellness integration. The projects will feature integrated EV charging infrastructure, car-free zones, and mobility hubs that encourage cleaner transit options. 'Our developments prioritise the human experience, which means enabling green mobility to minimise street level emissions, in addition to green spaces to support walkability and overall well-being,' Taryam explained. The wellness approach extends beyond traditional healthcare, incorporating learnings from the Jawaher Boston Medical District, designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop as 'an exceptional patient-centric ecosystem surrounded by a lush forest.' Whilst BEEAH's immediate focus remains on the UAE market, the company has also outlined ambitions for international expansion. 'We want to ensure that this living model is replicable for future cities in the nation and beyond,' Al Huraimel said. The group already operates waste management solutions in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, providing a foundation for potential real estate expansion. 'In the future, we will be open to working with like-minded partners to take our real estate model to other regions. Our aim is to export a proven framework for sustainable, smart urban living, one that can have a positive impact on communities internationally,' Al Huraimel added. Outlining BEEAH's long-term real estate objectives, Taryam explained that the creation of sustainable, smart cities that incorporate innovation whilst maintaining harmony with nature. 'Our vision is to build sustainable, smart cities of the future — places that incorporate sustainability and innovation where people can experience exceptional living in harmony with nature,' she said. The approach represents BEEAH's commitment to creating legacy developments that extend beyond immediate commercial objectives. 'This means going beyond the basics to build future-ready spaces that elevate everyday life, that inspire communities, and that leave a legacy for generations to come,' she concluded.
