Mission Clause · Bilingual Lease · Single-Ownership Governance
Long-Term Housing for UN & INGO Staff in Amman
For UN agency staff, INGO teams, and the international professionals posted to Amman, the right home is rarely the hard part — the right lease is. SHIHAB Elite Residences was built for exactly this resident: a privately governed collection of six residences in West Amman, offered with annual residency preferred and a 60-day mission clause for employer recall, a bilingual English-Arabic lease with identical terms, and rent denominated in JOD that may be settled in USD at any time. Single ownership, controlled access, and 24/7 on-site presence — minutes from the agencies and missions clustered across West Amman.
Ideal For You
For UN Personnel, Multinational Executives & Embassy Staff
SHIHAB Elite Residences is designed for long-term residents who value quiet, privacy, and accountable building management. The residences are particularly well suited to UN agency staff, senior executives of multinational corporations stationed in Amman, embassy and consular staff from non-frontline missions, and discerning families.
Direct owner accountability — responsive, personally managed
Curated co-residents — a privately managed community, no revolving tenancy
Corporate lease structures — available for named occupants
Proximity to the embassy corridor — Fifth Circle, Zahran Street, UNDP, and international institutions
International schooling nearby — Modern American School and other international options within minutes
24/7 on-site presence — day attendant lives on site (basement apartment), reachable via intercom and direct WhatsApp message; night guard covers evening and overnight hours. Controlled card/fob/intercom entry, full CCTV across common areas. ZagTrader regional office on site provides additional same-building management
A Note on Security
Our security model is privacy-by-design with 24/7 on-site presence: a day attendant who lives in a dedicated basement apartment, reachable both via the building intercom and via direct WhatsApp message, plus a separate night guard covering evening and overnight hours. Controlled card/fob/intercom entry, full CCTV across common areas, and a ZagTrader regional office within the building for additional accountable management. The building is single-owned and single-operated — no third-party property manager. We work best with residents whose security needs are met by a quiet, low-traffic, governed boutique building with named accountability; for postings that mandate compound-grade protocols, we will say so candidly at first inquiry.
Location
Why West Amman. Why Here.
SHIHAB Elite Residences sits on a quiet, elevated street in Umm Uthaina — one of West Amman's most established residential neighbourhoods, positioned between the Fifth and Sixth Circles. Close enough to embassies, international institutions, schools, and city services for daily convenience — yet set apart with unobstructed views, two-road access, and landscaped openness uncommon in central Amman.
