On the evening of October 31, Al Marwan Developments hosted a landmark event at The Meydan Hotel, Dubai, unveiling the District 11 Business Center, the UAE’s first smart work resort, designed using artificial intelligence to become the nation’s first AI-designed business complex. The launch event brought together distinguished guests, partners, and members of the Al Marwan Group family to celebrate not only the opening of a new development but the rise of a new business destination built for the future.

Strategically located on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Street (311) in the heart of New Sharjah, District 11 spans over 3 million square feet, positioning itself as a dynamic center for commerce and collaboration. With proximity to Sharjah International Airport, University City, City Centre Al Zahia, and just 30 minutes from Downtown Dubai, connecting opportunities, accessibility, and ambition.

Earlier this year, Al Marwan Developments introduced the concept at the ACRES 2025 Exhibition, where the District 11 Business Center was first unveiled to investors and industry professionals. The October launch marked the next exciting milestone, transforming that bold vision into a tangible space ready to welcome businesses and ideas from across the region.

A Night of Celebration and Vision

The official unveiling of the District 11 model drew applause from the audience, symbolizing the beginning of a new chapter for Sharjah’s business infrastructure, a place where enterprise meets excellence, and where Al Marwan’s legacy of quality construction meets its forward-looking vision for the future.

"To me, human-centric means that every square meter is designed around people with empathy and intention. At district 11 this philosophy is reflected in the walkable layouts, natural light-filled interior, wellness zones, and thoughtful balance between collaborative and quiet spaces. It's about ensuring that business growth goes hand in  hand with human well-being” said Mr. Majd AlZaiem, Executive Director at Al Marwan Developments.
