Arada CBD Phase 2, also known as Cluster 2, is the second commercial office cluster within Arada Central Business District at Aljada, Sharjah. The phase comprises five smart office buildings Buildings 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13  with approximately 499,584 sq. ft. of commercial office space. Current Phase 2 inventory starts from approximately AED 2.43 million, with office sizes from roughly 1,139 to 3,107 sq. ft. and expected handover in Q2 2028.

Cluster 2 builds on the office concept established in the first phase of Arada CBD while introducing a new generation of commercial buildings aimed at investors and corporate occupiers. Arada highlights premium infrastructure, high-speed lifts, premium finishes, ground-floor retail and dining, and expansive green roof terraces across the cluster.

These landscaped roof areas are intended to support outdoor meetings, corporate events, relaxation and yoga, giving companies access to usable outdoor business and wellness spaces rather than limiting the workplace to enclosed office floors.

The five-building cluster includes a range of building scales. Building 9 provides approximately 66,439 sq. ft. of office space, while Building 11 provides approximately 76,977 sq. ft. and Building 13 approximately 82,058 sq. ft. Building 10 is the largest clearly documented building in the current cluster, with approximately 137,929 sq. ft. of office accommodation plus 16,248 sq. ft. of retail space.

Building 10 is also currently the most visible Phase 2 investment product. Current inventory includes individual offices from approximately 1,144 to 3,107 sq. ft., with prices from around AED 2.53 million and market guidance around AED 2,180 per sq. ft.

At the overall Phase 2 level, current September 2026 commercial data shows an entry size from approximately 1,139 sq. ft. and prices from AED 2.43 million, creating a lower entry threshold for investors who do not require a large corporate floor plate.

The commercial environment benefits from being part of Arada CBD, a 4.3 million sq. ft. office district planned around a central landscaped green spine. Arada’s latest masterplan identifies 38 smart office buildings across the full CBD, with digital infrastructure, retail, dining and smart-city systems integrated throughout the district.

Phase 2 will also form part of Arada's broader portfolio-wide digital certification strategy. After Phase 1 achieved WiredScore Platinum, Arada confirmed that certification work had begun on Phase 2, reflecting its intention to maintain high digital-connectivity standards across the wider commercial district.

The location inside Aljada adds another layer to the commercial proposition. Businesses and office investors gain access to the wider community’s residential population, Madar Mall, hospitality, dining, entertainment and transport connections rather than operating in a standalone business park. Arada identifies Aljada as a 24 million sq. ft. mixed-use destination with more than 25,000 planned homes and direct access to major road and future rail infrastructure.

For buyers, Arada CBD Phase 2 should be analysed as a commercial investment rather than like a residential off-plan project.

The correct comparison is:

Office Price → Saleable Area → AED/sq. ft. → Building → Floor → Parking → Service Charge → Fit-Out → Handover → Lease Structure → Net Yield

This becomes especially important because similarly sized offices may command different values depending on floor, outlook, green-spine proximity and parking allocation.
