The Emirate of Sharjah has unveiled Khalid Bin Sultan City, a visionary smart and sustainable urban development. Announced under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah, and in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, the project represents a transformative moment in the emirate’s urban planning legacy.
Designed by the iconic Zaha Hadid Architects and led by Bee’ah Group, a pioneer in sustainability and environmental innovation, this development marks Bee’ah’s debut venture into real estate. Khalid Bin Sultan City is not just another residential project — it’s a comprehensive lifestyle ecosystem that integrates technology, culture, and human connection, all anchored in sustainability.
A Human-Centered, Smart City Vision
Inspired by the legacy of the late Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi — a visionary in urban design — the city is an embodiment of purpose-driven architecture and environmental harmony. Stretching over 1.5 kilometers, the mixed-use development includes 1,500 freehold residential units, commercial zones, and dedicated spaces for culture and leisure. At its heart is Bee’ah’s platinum LEED-certified headquarters, setting a global benchmark for sustainable buildings.
Backed by the vision of Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Chairperson of Bee’ah and the Supreme Council for Family Affairs, the city is designed as a model for zero-waste, carbon-neutral living. It combines renewable energy, water recycling systems, and sustainable transport solutions, powered by smart infrastructure and AI-driven services.
Neighborhoods Built for Belonging
The city comprises seven walkable residential neighborhoods, each revolving around a vibrant central plaza — a community hub designed for wellness and social interaction. Every amenity is within a five-minute walk, from childcare centers and clinics to outdoor cafés and sports facilities. A two-kilometer green spine runs through the city, featuring jogging trails, art gardens, wellness zones, and shaded plazas that promote both solitude and community engagement.
Innovating Sharjah’s Urban Identity
Khalid Bin Sultan City is not only an environmental showcase but also a cultural and creative catalyst. A dedicated innovation and design district will nurture the UAE’s growing creative economy, offering co-working spaces, cultural venues, and platforms for entrepreneurship. Seamlessly linked with residential and leisure zones, this hub will serve as a springboard for both artistic expression and economic growth.
CEO of Bee’ah, Khaled Al Huraimel, emphasized, “This city embodies our vision for reimagining urban life. By blending sustainable infrastructure with cutting-edge technology, we are crafting communities that serve people and the planet alike.”
Architectural Excellence Meets Purposeful Living
Architectural elegance is central to the city’s identity. The design combines iconic aesthetics with intelligent urban planning, ensuring every corner contributes to both beauty and function. The project builds on Bee’ah’s legacy of excellence, following in the footsteps of its groundbreaking headquarters and other prestigious initiatives such as the Jawaher Boston Medical District and Sharjah Creative District, which Bee’ah also helped shape.
As Nada Taryam, CEO of Real Estate Development at Bee’ah, stated, “We envision cities where infrastructure and identity coexist. Khalid Bin Sultan City is where architecture becomes a medium for culture, creativity, and human connection.”
A Promising Investment in a Thriving Market
Sharjah’s real estate sector is booming, with a 31.9% increase in transaction value during the first quarter of 2025, reaching AED 13.2 billion. As investor confidence rises and infrastructure continues to evolve, Khalid Bin Sultan City presents a unique investment opportunity, perfectly aligned with Sharjah’s future-forward urban vision.
Offering a diverse range of freehold properties — including villas, townhouses, and apartments — the development is set to roll out in phases, with more details to be revealed soon.
Living Tomorrow, Today
Khalid Bin Sultan City is more than a real estate project — it’s a living prototype of the future, where nature, innovation, and human interaction converge. With Sharjah at the forefront of sustainable urban design, this city stands as a regional and global beacon for what tomorrow’s communities can and should be.
Whether you’re an investor, a future resident, or simply passionate about smart cities, Khalid Bin Sultan City represents a chance to live differently — and live better.
