Masaar Sequoia at a glance
Masaar Sequoia
is an off-plan residential project by Arada in Sharjah. the current listing data records five six-bedroom units, with recorded prices from AED 9,460,000 to AED 9,660,000. The recorded handover date is December 2025.
The payment plan, named Main, is heavily back-loaded: 5% is payable on booking, 40% becomes due after booking, and the remaining 55% is payable upon handover. No total unit count or property subtype is supplied, so buyers should confirm the full inventory and unit descriptions with the developer.
None of the five recorded units falls at or below AED 2,500,000. Buyers who are working within Oliva's usual focus on apartments below AED 2,500,000 should note that this data set does not include any qualifying unit at that threshold; they should ask whether additional configurations exist beyond the supplied table.
Pricing breakdown
The unit_price_table contains a single configuration: six bedrooms. It records five units in total. Recorded prices begin at AED 9,460,000 and rise to AED 9,660,000. Floor areas run from 8,682 sq ft to 9,235 sq ft.
Every recorded unit is priced above the AED 2,500,000 threshold. The table shows zero units priced at or under AED 2,500,000. That is a material point for buyers using a sub-AED 2,500,000 filter, because this project does not currently offer a recorded unit in that range.
The narrow price band and identical bedroom mix mean pricing comparisons among these five units will hinge mainly on size, position and any differences in view or floor level, none of which are supplied. Buyers should request a unit-by-unit schedule and confirm what is included, such as parking or storage, before comparing values.
The payment schedule
The recorded payment plan is named Main and has the following milestones: 5% on booking, 40% after booking, and 55% upon handover. Handover is stated as December 2025. The 40% instalment labelled after booking has no due date or construction trigger in the current listing data, so buyers should clarify exactly when it becomes payable.
The structure concentrates more than half of the price at handover. That reduces near-term cash requirements but creates a large balance due at the end of the construction period. If handover slips, the 55% payment may also shift, so the contract should state whether that milestone follows the handover date or a fixed calendar date.
The Dubai setting
The project is recorded as being in Sharjah, but no specific area name or area-level aggregate data is supplied. Because area_name and area_aggregates are absent, we cannot describe nearby amenities, transport links or neighbourhood pricing from the source data.
Buyers should verify the exact location with Arada and the relevant Sharjah authority, including site access, master-plan context and nearby facilities. If a precise community or district matters to you, request a map or plot reference and check it against the official land records before proceeding.
Due diligence checklist
Escrow. The project is in Sharjah, and the published project facts cite Dubai Law No. (8) of 2007. Ask Arada for written proof that the project escrow account is registered with the applicable authority, and confirm whether the Dubai law or a Sharjah equivalent applies before paying any booking amount.
Oqood. Confirm whether the sale will be registered with Oqood, as used in Dubai, or the equivalent off-plan registry in Sharjah. Obtain a copy of the registration document and verify it directly with the relevant land department.
Service charges. No service-charge figure is supplied. Buyers should request the projected service-charge budget and confirm the approval process with the developer and the relevant authority, including how charges are set and updated.
Handover. The recorded handover is December 2025. Confirm the date in the sale and purchase agreement, including any grace period or penalty clause for delayed completion.
Payment plan enforceability. The plan is 5% on booking, 40% after booking, and 55% upon handover. Have the payment schedule annexed to the contract and check whether the 40% instalment is tied to defined milestones, such as construction percentages, or to fixed dates.
Our read
This project is likely to suit buyers who specifically want a six-bedroom home in Sharjah from Arada and are comfortable with a back-loaded payment plan. The recorded pricing is far above AED 2,500,000, so it does not fit a sub-AED 2,500,000 search. Buyers should verify the exact location, the payment-plan triggers and the handover commitment before proceeding.
On off-plan, the developer pays Oliva's commission and the buyer pays nothing for representation; a 2% + 5% VAT buyer fee applies only to resale and secondary purchases. The free Oliva underwriting report delivers a buy or do-not-buy verdict on a specific unit, which can help a buyer avoid relying on general impressions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Masaar Sequoia escrow-protected, and how do I verify it?
the current listing data cites Dubai Law No. (8) of 2007, but the project is in Sharjah. Ask Arada for written proof of the escrow account registration with the applicable authority and confirm which escrow regime governs this off-plan sale before transferring any funds.
When is handover for Masaar Sequoia?
The recorded handover date is December 2025. Confirm that date in the sale and purchase agreement, including any extension or delay provisions, and check the developer's written commitment before signing.

The recorded plan is 5% on booking, 40% after booking, and 55% upon handover. The 55% balance is due at handover, which is stated as December 2025. Confirm whether the 40% instalment is linked to construction milestones or fixed dates.
Is Masaar Sequoia a good investment?
