The Sustainable City, the region's first fully-operational sustainable community, and its sister development Sharjah Sustainable City have both won four gold awards at the Gulf Real Estate Awards 2022 in Dubai. 

 

The Sustainable City features eco-friendly and energy-efficient villas, vertical farms, autonomous shuttles as well as a school and a sustainability experience centre.

 

A strategic partnership between Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) and Diamond Developers (the region’s leading sustainable development company), Sharjah Sustainable City is the first urban mixed-use project in the northern emirate, meeting the highest standards of green economy and environmental sustainability, said the statement from the Sharjah developer. 

 

The Sustainable City, operating in Dubai since 2016, emerged winner in both the 'Customer Happiness' and 'Customer Experience Initiative’ categories, it added. 

 

The win comes as recognition for The Sustainable City's people-centric philosophy that embeds safety, inclusion, wellness, arts, culture, and education, said a company spokesman.

 

In the category of 'Best Real Estate Project' and 'Sustainable Green Development,' the Sharjah Sustainable City project won gold award, a recognition that reflects the unique economic strategy that offers sustainable living at no extra cost and a new standard for industry leaders, he noted.

 

These awards reflect the commitment of The Sustainable City and Sharjah Sustainable City to deliver on the vision of the UAE leadership to promote the happiness of the nation’s residents and offer a working model for future cities that are intelligent, scalable, resilient and replicable, added the spokesman.
