H.H. Bodour Al Qasimi Chairs Shurooq–Eagle Hills Meet on Sharjah Projects

SHARJAH, UAE - October 7, 2025: H.H. Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairperson of the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), led a high-level board meeting of Eagle Hills Sharjah Development LLC, reaffirming Sharjah’s commitment to sustainable growth and urban innovation. The joint venture between Shurooq and Abu Dhabi-based Eagle Hills continues to drive forward the emirate’s most ambitious mixed-use and tourism projects.

The meeting, held in Sharjah, reviewed the group’s latest achievements, including the near sell-out of Maryam Island, with 99% of residential units sold, and the strong leasing momentum at Kalba Waterfront Mall, Sharjah’s flagship retail and leisure destination on the eastern coast. The discussions also highlighted the robust financial and operational performance of 2025.

Among the attendees were Mohamed Al Abbar, Chairman of Eagle Hills; Ahmed Obaid Al Qaseer, CEO of Shurooq; and Hisham Ibrahim, Group CEO of Eagle Hills. The board reviewed key performance indicators, financial strategy, and delivery progress, underscoring a shared vision to sustain long-term growth through responsible and impactful development.

Maryam Island Nears Full Occupancy

A major highlight of the session was the progress of Maryam Island, Sharjah’s premier mixed-use waterfront destination. Spanning over 3,000 residential and retail units, the project has already handed over more than 1,200 units, with near-total sell-out levels achieved across its residential portfolio.

The development’s success has been driven by its strategic location, luxury waterfront design, and strong investor confidence, reflecting Sharjah’s growing real estate appeal and healthy capital appreciation trends. The board reviewed ongoing infrastructure and landscaping work, ensuring phased handovers remain on schedule.

Kalba Waterfront Mall Records Strong Leasing Activity

The board also reviewed the continued success of Kalba Waterfront Mall, one of the Eastern Region’s largest retail and lifestyle destinations. Strategically positioned along Kalba’s scenic shoreline, the mall features over 80 retail and dining outlets, including diverse indoor and outdoor restaurants, and a 1,600-square-metre children’s play zone.

With most of its leasable space now operational or under fit-out, the project has become a regional draw for residents and visitors, helping boost local entrepreneurship, employment, and tourism. The mall’s consistent footfall growth was noted as a key performance highlight for the year.

Sustained Growth and Strategic Outlook

The meeting also covered Eagle Hills Sharjah’s financial performance for 2025, with presentations outlining steady sales volumes, operational efficiencies, and continued investor trust in Sharjah’s development ecosystem.

Sheikha Bodour praised the collaboration between Shurooq and Eagle Hills for setting new benchmarks in mixed-use urban development that align with Sharjah’s sustainability and diversification objectives.

Concluding the meeting, the board reaffirmed its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and stakeholder engagement across all upcoming projects. As Sharjah continues to enhance its position as a global investment and tourism destination, the partnership between Shurooq and Eagle Hills stands as a cornerstone of the emirate’s modern economic vision.
