The 170,000 sqm Hub will be the centrepiece of the USD 6.5 billion masterplan. Situated in the heart of Sharjah, the project aims to take a human-centred approach, prioritising walkable spaces and greenery. Hub responds to this aspiration, integrating an area for adventure sports, a home-made food market and outdoor event spaces. "Zaha Hadid Architects is world renowned for its forward-thinking and transformative urban design. While all the firms in this design competition delivered incredible projects, Zaha Hadid Architects' integrated design approach matched our vision for the Central Hub. “Aljada as an interconnected destination,” commented HE Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, Chairman of ARADA. The Aljada development will be delivered in phases, starting in 2019, with the entire project completed by 2025.
