The community has large swimmable lagoons, wide parks and focus on eco-friendly living across the whole master plan. It is mainly shaped for families who prefer space, privacy and a quieter everyday setting while still staying connected to Dubai.
Hayyan Villas and Townhouses by Alef Group is a planned residential community in Barashi, Sharjah. Spread over 6.6 million square feet, it brings together modern home design with wide open green areas.
The community's location also keeps it close to key parts of Sharjah and nearby areas, while still feeling quiet and slightly away from busy zones.

Future of Hayyan
The Hayyan community is getting built step by step as Sharjah continues to expand its city planning. New road work which links Emirates Road and key Dubai routes, should make travel easier and cut down drive time. With major RTA plans in place, this area is expected to stay well connected to nearby cities.
New schools and healthcare facilities are also expected in Hayyan, which can make daily life more convenient for residents. These changes may support property value, as many buyers in the UAE look for safe, green and well-connected places for residents.
Structure of the Hayyan
Residential sections are separated from open green zones, while shops and services are within easy reach.
- Townhouse areas with 2-3-BR homes in proper and easy-to-manage layouts
- Villa areas with 4-7-BR homes on larger plots with more space
- Green zones with parks and natural spaces spread across the community
- Commercial areas with shops, dining and daily services placed in central spots
Why choose off-plan projects in Hayyan
Choosing off-plan homes in Hayyan means a lower starting price compared to ready properties in Sharjah. Townhouses begin from around AED 1.29M and prices may change as the project moves closer to completion. Payment plans by Alef Group, like 1% monthly or 40/60 options, help plan the cost and make upfront payments easier to manage.
The projects are expected to be completed by late 2026, which gives early buyers time before handover. As Sharjah is improving roads and infrastructure and more people prefer gated and green communities, off-plan homes from this community can suit long-term living with steady value.

Investment Insights

In total, these will bring close to 1,900 villas and townhouses, making it one of the larger green-focused communities in Sharjah. In terms of returns, rental yields in Sharjah are usually between 6.5% and 8%. Townhouses are often around 7%, while bigger villas are slightly lower, around 6% to 6.5%, mainly due to higher prices.
Short-term rentals may see demand from nearby universities and work areas, while long-term rentals stay steady with families looking for gated and green communities.
