Its distinguishing feature is the layout: cars are kept to basement and podium parking (about 7,000 spaces), and the ground level is given over to pedestrian streets lined with shops, cafés and play areas. Alef calls it Sharjah's first fully walkable community. The plan is for more than 3,660 studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and duplexes in 56 buildings across three zones, Souks, Seerah and Raseel. Earlier phases such as Darb and Suroor are listed as ready on Property Finder, and Alef reported new shops and cafés opening in April 2026. Its construction update, published around September or October 2026, shows the community 73% complete overall. Sales continue in later phases. Property Finder lists Nama and Hamsa apartments from about AED 700,000 to AED 900,000 with completion between 2028 and 2029. Palace Residences Al Mamsha, 247 apartments branded with Emaar Hospitality Group's Palace name, sits at the top of the range from AED 1.65 million. Alef states that Al Mamsha is open to all nationalities with freehold ownership. It is minutes from Sharjah University City, the 06 Mall and the Dubai border, according to the developer. Property Finder's listing for Palace Residences gives 25 minutes to Sharjah International Airport. Muwaileh Commercial was Sharjah's most traded area in the first half of 2026 according to the registration department. ## Who it suits - First-time buyers - Buy-to-let investors - University staff and students - Buyers who want shops on the doorstep ## Highlights - A pedestrian ground level with retail, unusual in the UAE. - 73% complete overall on Alef's own figures, with early phases occupied. - Alef states freehold ownership for all nationalities. - Entry prices from about AED 700,000 in current phases. - Just off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. ## Considerations - Many similar phases have been sold off-plan, so expect competition when letting or reselling. - Savills reported average Sharjah apartment asking prices down 8.2% year on year in Q2 2026. - Alef's construction page gives June 2030 for the community as a whole; later phases mean years of building next door. - Road commutes to Dubai at peak hours are slow and there is no metro. - Payment plans on current phases leave most of the price due at handover. ## Drive times - Sharjah International Airport: about 25 minutes ## Developments in Al Mamsha No developments in this area are currently published on the site. ## Nearby areas - [Aljada](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/sharjah/aljada) - [Maryam Island](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/sharjah/maryam-island) - [Hayyan](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/sharjah/hayyan) - [Masaar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/sharjah/masaar) ## Questions and answers ### Can foreigners buy in Al Mamsha?
