Infrastructure, development projects boosts Sharjah realty

The real estate sector in Sharjah has witnessed significant growth and development outside the city centre, as highlighted in the recently issued annual report by the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department. The report indicates a thriving movement in the Central and Eastern regions, with cash transactions amounting to Dh549.4 million.

The transactions were facilitated through the department’s branches located in the Central region and the cities of Khorfakkan, Dibba Al-Hisn, and Kalba.

During the first half of 2023, the total real estate transactions recorded in the department’s branches reached 14,195, accounting for 34.8 per cent of all transactions executed within the emirate during the same period. Additionally, the total area traded in sales transactions amounted to 15.1 million square feet.

Omar Al-Mansouri, Director of the Branches Department at the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, attributed the growth to the Sharjah government’s attractive incentive packages and facilities for local and international investors. He also highlighted the substantial investments in infrastructure and development projects in the Central and Eastern regions under the leadership’s guidance. These projects, which include road developments, infrastructure enhancements, hotels, tourist and heritage resorts, and environmental initiatives, have significantly contributed to the region’s prosperity and growth in real estate transactions during the first half of this year.

Furthermore, the report showed that the trading volume in the four branches constituted 4.1 per cent of the total trading volume in the emirate’s real estate sector during the mentioned period.

Lastly, Dibba Al-Hisn recorded 14 transactions, valued at Dh9 million, distributed among three regions. Most of these transactions (over 57 per cent) took place in Hay Ash-Shamali, with eight transactions.
