Following an international competition, ARADA has appointed Zaha Hadid Architects to design the Central Hub, the centrepiece of Aljada, the developer's renowned masterplan in Sharjah, UAE. The heart of the AED24 billion Aljada mixed-use development, the 1.9 m sq ft Central Hub will be a new focus for the UAE and a significant addition to Sharjah, regarded as the cultural capital of the Arab world. Aljada's Central Hub will be a major destination for tourists and residents in its own right, offering world-class amenities complemented by community facilities as well as retail and dining experiences.
