Partly built, with later zones still on sale.

The developer's plan covers 6.6 million sq ft and 1,882 homes of two to seven bedrooms, arranged in seven zones: Arim 1, 2 and 3, Alma, Samr 1 and 2, and Deem. The centrepiece is a 60,278 sq ft swimmable lagoon, which Alef describes as the largest in Sharjah, with a clubhouse, a community park, a mosque, a small mall, a 4 km cycling and running track and 80,000 sq ft of edible planting. Delivery is staged and the dates need care. Property Finder lists Arim villas and townhouses as ready, and lists the wider Hayyan project for the fourth quarter of 2026. Alef's own construction update, published around September or October 2026, shows the community as a whole 30% complete with a handover date of June 2030. The newest release, Samr, is listed for the fourth quarter of 2028. A buyer should establish which zone a home is in and what completion date the contract gives for it. On Property Finder, three-bedroom townhouses in Hayyan are listed from AED 1.9 million and four-bedroom villas from AED 4.9 million. Alef states that the community is open to all nationalities with freehold ownership. Property Finder's listing for Samr gives 20 minutes to Sharjah International Airport and between 25 and 30 minutes to Dubai International Airport. Savills named Hayyan among the communities supporting villa demand in Sharjah in the first half of 2026. ## Who it suits - Families wanting a villa or townhouse - Owner-occupiers - Buyers comparing Sharjah villas with Dubai's outer communities ## Highlights - Low-density houses with a lagoon, park and clubhouse in one gated plan. - Alef states freehold ownership for all nationalities. - Arim homes are listed as ready, so finished houses can be viewed. - Savills reported Sharjah villa asking prices up 5.4% year on year in Q2 2026. ## Considerations - Completion dates conflict: listings show late 2026 to late 2028 by zone, while Alef's construction page shows 30% overall progress and June 2030. - The lagoon and landscaping carry running costs that will show up in service charges. - On Emirates Road at the edge of the emirate; schools, shops and work are all a drive away. - Competes directly with Arada's much larger Masaar communities for the same buyers. ## Drive times - Sharjah International Airport: about 20 minutes - Dubai International Airport: about 30 minutes ## Developments in Hayyan No developments in this area are currently published on the site. ## Nearby areas - [Masaar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/sharjah/masaar) - [Aljada](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/sharjah/aljada) - [Al Mamsha](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/sharjah/al-mamsha) ## Questions and answers ### Can foreigners buy in Hayyan?
