Sanzen Begins Construction on Sukoon — A New Kind of Residential Community in Sharjah, Built Around Everyday Wellbeing
Dubai, United Arab Emirates — Tuesday, 7 April 2026
Sanzen has officially commenced construction on Sukoon by Sanzen, an AED 1.5 billion 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 a signing ceremony held at Sanzen’s office 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 more than 20 media representatives.
