Al Marwan Developments has introduced “District 11”, a groundbreaking smart business complex and the first in the UAE to be shaped through artificial intelligence-led design. The development sets a new model for integrated commercial environments, offering a forward-thinking blend of innovative infrastructure and human-focused planning to support enterprise growth, community engagement, and sustainable economic development in line with national diversification priorities.
The project was announced during a large-scale event recognising Al Marwan Group’s achievements spanning 47 years. The ceremony gathered senior officials, private sector leaders, investors, business owners, and prominent media personalities, demonstrating the dynamic investment climate in Sharjah.
District 11 is positioned to become a major commercial hub, providing a responsive environment for companies seeking modern, high-quality business space. Covering 3.5 million sq ft divided among 11 buildings, the project also integrates a hotel comprising 368 units and offers around 3,000 parking spaces.
Its strategic placement on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311), close to established residential communities, Sharjah International Airport, and University City, ensures seamless connectivity. By uniting technology, sustainability, and cost efficiency, the development offers a progressive workplace model suitable for organisations aiming to expand and evolve.
Majd Al Zaiem, Executive Director of Al Marwan Developments, said:
“District 11 will represent a qualitative leap in Sharjah’s real-estate landscape. The project was designed with intelligent infrastructure and global design expertise to create a vibrant business environment that bridges current investor needs with the ambitions of future entrepreneurs.”
He emphasised that the role of AI within District 11 extends to adaptive pricing systems, proactive maintenance based on data-driven predictions, and enhanced energy management, all of which improve operational outcomes and user satisfaction. Such features place the project at the forefront of digital transformation within the property sector, backed by governance frameworks that enhance transparency and investment confidence.
He further highlighted that District 11 will help reinforce Sharjah’s presence on both regional and global investment maps by drawing organisations and entrepreneurs seeking technologically advanced and environmentally responsible workplaces, while also enabling broader economic diversification.
Designed with a strong focus on people and workplace quality, the project incorporates facilities that elevate everyday professional life and comply with environmental standards. Its accessible pricing strategy supports a range of business sizes, encouraging small, medium, and large enterprises to establish and grow their presence, positioning District 11 as a catalyst for future economic development.
