Arcadia, a leading provider of a full range of engineering, design and management services for construction projects, has been appointed as the principal architect for Nasma Residences, the newest large-scale residential development in Sharjah, the UAE.

Nasma Residences will offer a best-in-class living experience across a choice of two-bedroom townhouses, three- and four-bedroom semi-detached villas, and five-bedroom signature villas.

The aesthetically designed homes marry form and function and are planned to be built with careful workmanship to ensure quality delivery, ranging in size from 1,500 sq ft to 3,500 sq ft. The development will spread over a 5 million sq ft area carefully planned to ensure a balance between living areas and community facilities.

As per the deal, Arcadia will be responsible for end-to-end architecture and design services and will manage all the sub-consultants on the project.

The company has already executed the full range of design and detailing for Nasma Residences, on behalf of the developer Arada.

Spearheaded by Arcadia’s head of architecture in the UAE, Elie Mrad, the work on the design of more than 800 contemporary residential properties began in December last year.

The newly conceptualised community will be anchored by four community offerings: a 13-acre lushly-landscaped park with cycling and jogging tracks and large play areas; a multipurpose community centre with clubhouse offering sports and recreation facilities; children’s nursery and full-service medical clinic; an international school; and a retail mall offering a large-scale anchor shopping experience for day-to-day and specialty needs and a range of casual dining experiences.

Arcadia is also providing services to two other projects in Sharjah, the Novotel Expo Sharjah and the Majlis Grand Mercure Sharjah Resort & Spa.-TradeArabia News Service
