Sanzen, a top-notch UAE-based real estate developer, has officially commenced construction on Sukoon by Sanzen, an AED 1.5bn residential development in Sharjah comprising 859 villas and townhouses across four phases.
The project takes a deliberately different approach to how homes and communities are designed in the UAE; one built around daily wellbeing rather than weekend escapes.
The construction launch comes at a moment when many regional developers are choosing to pause. Sanzen’s decision to break ground now is a deliberate statement of confidence in the UAE economy, the long-term resilience of its real estate sector, and the strength of buyer demand the company has seen since launch.
Construction officially began on 7 April 2026. The announcement was made at an official signing ceremony held at Sanzen’s offices in Festival Tower, Festival City, Dubai, where Sanzen and PTC Contracting signed the construction agreement in the presence of senior leadership from both companies and media representatives.
The ceremony was attended by Abdulaziz Al Sanad, Chairman, Sanzen; Amro Saleh, CEO and Founder, Sanzen; Mohammad Obaid Alshaali, Chairman of PTC Contracting; and Hesham Mustafa, Project Manager, PTC Contracting.
Phase 1
The construction contract for Phase 1 of Sukoon has been awarded to PTC Contracting — a 100% Emirati firm with over five decades of delivery excellence in Dubai and Sharjah — marking the beginning of a strategic partnership between two organisations committed to quality and long-term value in the UAE real estate sector.
Sukoon is a residential development of 859 villas and townhouses in Sharjah. It is designed around a simple idea: people living in busy cities like Dubai and Sharjah need to be able to unwind every day, not just on weekends.
Instead of a single large clubhouse, Sukoon spreads its facilities across the entire community so that every home is a short walk from a quiet space, a garden, a wellness area, or the lagoon. The aim is to make daily rest and recovery a natural part of life, not something residents have to plan or travel for.
A 3,000sqm lagoon runs through the centre of the development, connecting all four residential blocks. Residents can walk alongside it in the morning or evening as part of their daily routine.
Community
Sukoon is being built in four phases, each adding a new layer of facilities to the community:
Phase 1: (currently under construction): A recovery pavilion, quiet rooms, breathing and mindfulness spaces, a waterside pod, and an outdoor stretch area. All bookable through an app.
Phase 2: An infrared sauna, nap pods, a reflexology path, family lawn, and community dining areas.
Phase 3: Cold plunge pools, sports courts for padel and tennis, and outdoor fitness areas.
Phase 4: A sound healing pavilion, a sunset viewing point, and a community gathering space.
The development also includes swimming pools, cycling tracks, children’s play areas, nurseries, mosques, retail outlets, and smart home technology across all units.
Sanzen is a 100% self-funded developer. This structure allows the company to absorb fluctuations in material costs and supply-chain pressure internally — without passing them on to buyers. As a direct commitment to its customers and channel partners, Sukoon prices are locked for a minimum of six months. This is a commitment, not a campaign.
Phase 1 of Sukoon, 241 villas and townhouses, sold out completely on the day it launched, a clear signal of demand for Sanzen’s approach. Building on that momentum, the company is targeting AED 3bn in first-year sales, supported by continued interest from UAE-based and international investors.
Sukoon is located in Sharjah, within easy reach of Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman via major highways. The full project is expected to be completed and handed over to residents in the second quarter of 2029.
“We are not simply building homes. We are building a community that sets a new benchmark for integrated living in the UAE, and our partnership with PTC Contracting gives us full confidence in delivering Sukoon to the highest standards, on time and without compromise,” asserted Amro Saleh.
“The commencement of works at Sukoon reflects PTC’s unwavering commitment to delivering the highest standards of execution — creating genuine value for investors and the market alike,” commented Hesham Mustafa.
In addition to Sukoon in Sharjah, the company is developing Zen Lagoons in Meydan Horizon, Dubai, a 211-unit project with a total investment of AED 275mn.
