Sharjah Gets 1,100 New Family Homes in AED 3.5 Billion Al Tay Hills Community
By Thasmiya
Sharjah’s residential market is expanding with around **1,100 new villas and townhouses** planned as part of the AED 3.5 billion **Al Tay Hills** development.
Spread across more than **six million square feet**, the community will offer townhouses, twin villas, standalone villas and larger mansions, with homes primarily ranging from three to six bedrooms.
The latest milestone is the completion of the project’s show villas, allowing prospective buyers and investors to see the planned layouts, finishes and living spaces firsthand.
## **What is Al Tay Hills?**
Al Tay Hills is a large master-planned residential community being developed in Sharjah with a focus on spacious family homes, greenery and outdoor living.
The AED 3.5 billion project will contain approximately **1,100 residential units** across its more than six-million-square-foot site.
Rather than focusing primarily on apartment living, the development offers larger residential formats aimed at families looking for additional space and privacy.
## **What types of homes will be available?**
Al Tay Hills will offer several different housing options.
These include three- and four-bedroom townhouses, twin villas, standalone villas and larger homes extending up to six bedrooms.
The variety is designed to accommodate different family sizes and space requirements.
Homes feature contemporary architecture, spacious interiors, natural light and outdoor areas, with layouts designed to connect indoor living spaces with private gardens.
## **Show villas are now complete**
One of the project’s latest developments is the completion of its show villas.
Prospective homeowners and investors can now experience the layouts, finishes and overall design of the properties rather than relying entirely on floor plans and digital renderings.
Khaled Esbaitah, Chairman of IFA Hotels & Resorts, said the milestone gives customers and investors an opportunity to experience the project’s quality and details firsthand.
## **A community designed around families**
Al Tay Hills is being positioned as more than a collection of villas.
The development focuses on creating an integrated residential environment with landscaped spaces, gardens and areas intended to support family-oriented living.
Privacy is another important part of the design, with the different housing configurations giving families options based on their lifestyle and space requirements.
## **What is the ‘Street of Dreams’?**
One of the distinctive features of Al Tay Hills is a landscaped internal route called the **Street of Dreams**.
The route connects different parts of the development and leads residents towards their homes.
Instead of treating internal roads simply as transportation routes, the concept is intended to make the journey through the neighbourhood part of the overall residential experience, gradually transitioning from the main entrance into quieter residential areas.
## **Where is Al Tay Hills located?**
The development is located in Sharjah with convenient access to **Emirates Road**, providing connections towards both Sharjah and Dubai.
This could make the community particularly attractive to families who want larger homes in Sharjah while continuing to commute to workplaces, schools or other destinations in Dubai.
Its road connectivity also gives residents access to other parts of Sharjah and the wider Northern Emirates.
## **Why Sharjah is adding more family communities**
Sharjah’s residential property sector has been expanding rapidly.
According to Colliers data reported by Emirates News Agency, Sharjah recorded approximately **1,700 newly launched residential units in the first quarter of 2026**, the highest number among the Northern Emirates.
More than 1,100 apartments and 320 villas were also completed across key master-planned communities including Aljada, Sharjah Sustainable City and Al Zahia during the period.
The trend reflects growing demand for modern communities offering larger homes, green spaces and family-oriented amenities.
## **Is this government housing?**
No. An important distinction is that these **1,100 homes are part of the Al Tay Hills private residential development**.
They should not be confused with government housing grants or homes being distributed free to Sharjah families.
The development is aimed at prospective homeowners and property investors.
## **What does this mean for people looking for homes in Sharjah?**
The project adds a significant number of larger properties to Sharjah’s residential market.
For families, that means more choices beyond apartments, including three- to six-bedroom homes with outdoor spaces.
For Dubai commuters, the proximity to Emirates Road could also make the project worth considering for those looking for a Sharjah home while maintaining regular access to Dubai.
Investors, meanwhile, gain another large-scale master-planned community to consider as Sharjah’s residential market continues to expand.
## **Why this matters**
The addition of around 1,100 homes at Al Tay Hills highlights Sharjah’s continued shift towards larger, master-planned family communities.
The AED 3.5 billion development combines townhouses, villas and mansions with landscaped surroundings and connectivity to major roads.
For families looking for more space—and particularly those balancing life in Sharjah with regular travel to Dubai—the project adds another major residential option to the emirate’s growing property market.
