By Middle East News 247 July 10, 2024

AJMAL MAKAN Real Estate Development, a leading UAE-based master Real Estate developer of cities and
mixed-use master-planned communities, has chosen XBD Collective, a multi-award-winning design and
architecture firm with offices in Dubai, London, and Kochi, to refine and evolve the master plan for AlThuraya
Island, located at the heart of the iconic AJMAL MAKAN City – Sharjah Waterfront project.

Situated on Al Hamriyah Beach in the Emirate of Sharjah, 35 minutes northeast of Dubai, AlThuraya Island

introduces an unparalleled residential retreat on its five million square feet paradise. Set against the
backdrop of pristine beaches and enchanting rocky edges, the island is poised to redefine luxury living,
tailored for affluent Emiratis and expatriates alike who embrace the true community spirit integrated

environment of services and amenities.

Designed to harmonise with its idyllic setting, AlThuraya Island merges thoughtful urban planning and

architectural prowess. The master plan, conceived with an organic aesthetic and diverse visual experiences,
blends topography and architecture, adorned with permeating greenery at its core, covering almost 40% of
the project.

Ferran Iglesias, Associate Design Manager at XBD Collective, said: “The aim of this project is to create a
distinctive living experience on the island, within a healthy, green environment that strengthens residents’

connection with nature. Additionally, it aims to develop a diverse community by integrating expansive green
spaces and common parks with pedestrian and cycling paths, making the beaches easily accessible to

everyone.”
