It is made up of mid-rise apartment buildings around a 900-metre promenade and a retail boulevard, and the developer's plan includes four- and five-star hotels, waterfront cafés and a souq. The developer's site lists 24 residential buildings. Most of it is finished. Of the 18 Eagle Hills buildings on Property Finder, the majority are marked ready, and many are sold out and trade only as resales. A handful are still off-plan: Topaz Residences and Layla Residences are listed for the first quarter of 2027, GEM Residences for the fourth quarter of 2027, Citrine for 2028 and Nada for late 2029. Its appeal is location. It offers sea-facing apartments in the centre of Sharjah, on the side of the city nearest Dubai. Property Finder's listing for Topaz Residences gives 21 minutes to Dubai International Airport and 24 minutes to Downtown Dubai. Savills reported that apartment demand in Sharjah in the first half of 2026 was strongest along the Al Khan to Al Mamzar waterfront corridor. Property Finder lists the island's buildings as freehold. Eagle Hills' own pages do not state the tenure, so buyers should have it confirmed in writing, particularly for older resale units that may have been sold before Sharjah's 2022 ownership law. ## Who it suits - Buyers wanting a sea-facing flat in Sharjah - Residents working in north Dubai - Landlords targeting long lets ## Highlights - Sea-front apartments in central Sharjah. - Largely built: most buildings are ready and occupied. - About 21 minutes from Dubai International Airport on Property Finder's figures. - Savills identified the Al Khan to Al Mamzar waterfront as Sharjah's strongest corridor for apartment demand in H1 2026. ## Considerations - Confirm the tenure.
