Founded in 2013 by Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi and Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Alsaud, the company’s name is taken from the Arabic word “arada” meaning “to plan”. Arada goes beyond the purely constructive to create superior places, spaces, and experiences that people can enjoy.

Arada has developed a number of master-planned communities that are worth AED 33 billion. These developments include housing, office, and mixed-use projects. In this respect, Arada is the leading developer in Sharjah signifying its goal of remodeling the emirate’s urban fabric. Quality, aesthetics, and functionality are evident in the company’s portfolio as factors that show its commitment to these three elements.

One of the major projects that Arada is undertaking is Aljada, a massive development in Sharjah. Aljada wants to give a new definition to urban life by incorporating green spaces, entertainment zones, and housing neighborhoods in one space. These extensions show how Arada seeks to participate in the development of UAE real estate industry.
