Ajmal Makan

Ajmal Makan is a Sharjah-based real estate developer known for master-planned waterfront communities. Led by CEO Sultan Al Shakrah, the company was started by Sheikh Abdullah bin Fahid Al Shakrah. It positions itself as a forward-thinking developer offering modern, eco-friendly homes “where residents connect with nature”. The firm prides itself on high-quality standards and innovative design – for example, its projects use smart-home tech and renewable energy while often building infrastructure (roads, utilities) before sales.
Ajmal Makan’s flagship is Sharjah Waterfront City, an ambitious eight-island mixed-use complex (waterfront homes, marinas, malls, etc.). Other large-scale projects include the Al Thuraya Island villa community (5+ million sqft with green spaces and private beach) and Blue Pearls apartments featuring smart-home systems and energy-efficient design. These developments highlight the firm’s emphasis on sustainability and lifestyle amenities.
The company’s work has earned industry awards. In 2018 Sharjah Waterfront City won the Arabian Business Best Waterfront Development award, and in 2019 Ajmal Makan was honored at the Sharjah Water & Energy Congress. In 2024 the developer received a Global Brand Award for excellence in luxury real estate in the UAE. These accolades underscore its reputation for on-time delivery and management excellence.
Ajmal Makan’s projects are concentrated in the UAE – especially Sharjah’s coastal zone – and it is now expanding into other Emirates like Dubai. The company’s vision is to “create world-class destinations” in the UAE by developing sustainable, community-oriented urban enclaves
