Verify early (before reserving)
Developer delivery history and what “handover” includes (snagging, warranties, defects).

All-in running costs and rules (service charges, rental restrictions, community policies).
Hong Kong-based buyers: allow time for compliance checks and avoid last-minute FX surprises.

Overview
A Blueprint for Future Living (2024-2045)
Sultan Haitham City (SHC) is a 14.8 million square meter national legacy project designed to house 100,000 residents across 19 integrated neighborhoods. Phase 1 (2024-2030) alone involves the construction of 6,743 residential units and massive infrastructure. It is the first true "Smart City" in Oman, featuring autonomous vehicle lanes, AI-managed power grids, and 2.9 million sqm of green space. Crucially, the government has designated specific zones for 100% freehold foreign ownership, democratizing access to this national vision.

Insights
The "New Muscat" Growth Corridor
Use statistics only when they’re sourced and dated. If a metric doesn’t have a clear source, treat it as marketing.
SHC shifts the center of gravity of the capital westward. As a "city within a city", it creates its own internal market demand. Phase 1 (2024-2030) focuses on core residential neighborhoods like Al Wafa and Al Naha. Investing here is a bet on demographics: Oman has a young, growing population (CAGR 9.2%) that needs modern, affordable, tech-enabled housing.

FAQ
Sultan Haitham City Knowledge
Can foreigners buy in Sultan Haitham City?
Specific zones are designated for foreign ownership, while others are reserved for Omani domestic housing social programs.
The city is designed as a mixed-governance area, ensuring a diverse social fabric while providing investment corridors for international capital. Designated investment zones within Sultan Haitham City allow 100% foreign ownership on freehold basis, similar to ITC regulations. These zones are strategically positioned near commercial hubs and amenities to maximize appeal to international buyers. The mixed-use approach ensures the city develops as a vibrant, diverse community rather than an expatriate enclave. Foreign buyers should verify zone designations with sales agents before commitment.
What is the GIFT philosophy behind Sultan Haitham City?
GIFT stands for Green, Integrated, Future-proof, and Tech-enabled - the four pillars guiding the city design.
The GIFT philosophy represents a holistic approach to urban development. Green: all buildings meet stringent energy efficiency standards with solar integration, green roofs, and water recycling systems reducing utility costs by 40-50%. Integrated: the 20-minute city concept ensures residents can access schools, healthcare, retail, and workplaces within 20 minutes by walking, cycling, or public transport. Future-proof: infrastructure is designed for autonomous vehicles, 5G connectivity, and adaptable building uses. Tech-enabled: smart city systems monitor traffic, optimize energy use, and provide residents with integrated digital services through mobile apps. This approach creates a sustainable, livable urban environment that outperforms traditional developments.
What are typical property prices in Sultan Haitham City?
Phase 1 properties range from OMR 60,000 for apartments to OMR 200,000+ for family villas.
Sultan Haitham City offers significantly more affordable entry points than established Muscat communities. Two-bedroom apartments in Phase 1 neighborhoods like Al Wafa start from OMR 60,000-90,000, making homeownership accessible to young Omani professionals and international buyers seeking budget-friendly options. Three-bedroom townhouses range from OMR 120,000-160,000, ideal for growing families. Standalone 4-bedroom villas in prime locations command OMR 180,000-250,000. These prices are 30-40% below comparable properties in mature ITCs, reflecting the off-plan nature and developing infrastructure. Early buyers benefit from launch pricing with projected appreciation of 15-25% as the city infrastructure completes.
When will Sultan Haitham City infrastructure be completed?
Phase 1 infrastructure including schools, hospitals, and utilities is scheduled for completion by 2028-2030.
Sultan Haitham City is being developed in a carefully sequenced manner. Roads, utilities (water, electricity, sewerage), and fiber-optic telecommunications for Phase 1 neighborhoods are 60-70% complete as of late 2025. The first residential units began handover in 2024-2025 for early neighborhoods. Four government schools are under construction and will open progressively from 2026-2028. A private 200-bed hospital is scheduled for completion in 2029. The central commercial district with retail, dining, and entertainment facilities will be phased from 2027-2030. Mosques and community centers are being built concurrently with residential neighborhoods.
