Sanzen has officially commenced works on Sukoon, an AED 1.5 billion residential development in Sharjah comprising 859 villas and townhouses across four phases. The project introduces a different approach to residential design in the UAE, focusing on everyday wellbeing rather than occasional leisure.
Works officially began on 7 April 2026 following a signing ceremony held at Sanzen’s office in Festival Tower, Dubai Festival City, attended by senior leadership from both companies and more than 20 media representatives.
The ceremony was attended by Mr. Abdulaziz Al Sanad, Chairman of Sanzen; Mr. Amro Saleh, CEO and Founder of Sanzen; Mr. Mohammad Obaid Alshaali, Chairman of PTC; and Mr. Hesham Mustafa, Project Manager at PTC.
Phase 1 of Sukoon has been awarded to PTC, a UAE-based company with more than five decades of experience, marking the beginning of a strategic partnership focused on delivering long-term value and high-quality developments in the UAE real estate market.
Sukoon — meaning calm or peace in Arabic — is a residential community in Sharjah designed around a simple idea: residents of busy cities need to unwind every day, not just on weekends.
Instead of a central clubhouse, facilities are distributed across the entire community, ensuring every home is within walking distance of quiet spaces, gardens, wellness areas, or the lagoon.
A 3,000 sqm lagoon runs through the centre of the development, connecting all four phases and providing a natural setting for daily walks and relaxation.
The project is delivered across four phases:
Phase 1 (currently under construction): recovery pavilion, quiet rooms, breathing and mindfulness spaces, waterside pod, and outdoor stretch areas, all bookable via an app.
Phase 2: infrared sauna, nap pods, reflexology path, family lawn, and community dining areas.
Phase 3: cold plunge pools, padel and tennis courts, and outdoor fitness zones.
Phase 4: sound healing pavilion, sunset viewing point, and community gathering spaces.
The development also includes swimming pools, cycling tracks, children’s play areas, nurseries, mosques, retail outlets, and smart home technology across all units.
Sanzen operates as a fully self-funded developer, allowing it to absorb fluctuations in material costs and supply chain pressures without passing them on to buyers. Sukoon prices are locked for a minimum of six months as a direct commitment to customers and partners.
Phase 1, consisting of 241 units, sold out completely on launch day. The company is targeting AED 3 billion in first-year sales, supported by strong interest from local and international investors.
Historically, investors entering the UAE market during global uncertainty have achieved strong returns, including approximately 80% following the 2008 financial crisis and up to 150% during the COVID-19 period.
Sukoon is located in Sharjah with easy access to Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman. The project is expected to be completed and handed over in Q2 2029.
