Sharjah's Al Zahia development, owned and managed by Majid Al Futtaim group, recently announced the completion of its first green wall.

According to a press release, the 160 sq m green wall is situated atop Al Zahia's community clubhouse and is home to over 15,000 species of plants.

According to a press statement, green walls have emerged as an essential component of sustainable urban development. They contribute to healthy communities by providing more oxygenated air and absorbing approximately 41% more noise than traditional walls.

“At Majid Al Futtaim our communities are about embedding local culture, creating more sustainable environments, capturing the beauty of nature while recognising the potential for healthy living. Studies show that living in a green environment brings people together and that small-scale greenery has a positive effect on social cohesion in neighbourhoods. Driven by our placemaking principles and commitment to break boundaries, Al Zahia is underway in redefining Sharjah’s living experience.,” said Hawazen Esber, Chief Executive Officer, Majid Al Futtaim Communities, which is part of Majid Al Futtaim Properties.

Majid Al Futtaim Communities seeks to develop thriving and sustainable communities that are underpinned by placemaking environments derived from the principles of well-being, the release added.
