Alef group advances Sharjah's Olfah community with early works contract award

Alef Group has awarded the early works contract for its Olfah master-planned community in Sharjah to a leading local contractor. The scope includes site readiness and foundational work, moving the forest-designed, walkable development adjacent to Etihad Rail Station into initial construction phase.

Alef Group, a Sharjah-based real estate developer, has taken a key step forward on its flagship Olfah project by awarding the early works contract to a prominent contractor in the emirate. The agreement covers site preparation and foundational activities, enabling subsequent construction phases for the master-planned community.

Olfah is designed as a forest-inspired, walkable neighborhood integrating residential units, green spaces, and communal amenities. Its strategic location adjacent to the Etihad Rail Station positions it as a transit-oriented development. Alef Group specializes in large-scale residential and mixed-use communities within Sharjah.

This development matters because it signals continued execution momentum in Sharjah’s real estate sector, which has seen increased demand for integrated, nature-oriented communities.

Contractors and engineering firms in the UAE’s northern emirates stand to benefit from early works and subsequent tenders. For investors and developers, the project’s proximity to rail infrastructure enhances long-term asset value and commuter appeal. Alef Group has confirmed that all its projects remain on schedule, with steady construction progress across existing residential communities. The award reinforces the developer’s commitment to delivering Olfah according to approved timelines, offering downstream opportunities for material suppliers and subcontractors.
