The first large-scale premium student accommodation in the Emirate of Sharjah.

The largest student accommodation project that the UAE has embarked on, the Nest precinct is located just five minutes’ drive from one of the Middle East’s fastest-growing education hubs, Sharjah’s University City. The US$190.5 million complex features 2,473 fully furnished dormitories (both individual and shared) spread over 12 apartment blocks, plus mixed use retail.

Specialised Fire was honoured to be selected to be a part of the design, installation and post-construction maintenance of this groundbreaking project.

It was a risk taking on a new player from Australia, however their expertise and introduction of new methods have really opened our eyes as to what the possibilities really are. We are grateful and optimistic of what our future projects look like with Specialised Fire Protection.
