The value of real estate transactions in Sharjah during April this year has increased to AED2.8 billion, compared to AED1.7 billion in March, according to the Real Estate Transactions Movement Report, issued by Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department (SRERD). “In light of the economic stability that characterizes Sharjah, in addition to its prominent strategic location in the middle of the other emirates, this growth continues at an upward pace, making this sector a major attraction for local, Arab and foreign investors and enhancing the emirate’s position and reputation as a leading global destination,” said the report. This remarkable growth is due to the continued activities of major real estate development companies in the smiling emirate.

Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and the follow-up of H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, and Chairman of Sharjah Executive Council (SEC), and their support and keenness to enhance the growth of this vital sector, considered one of the most contributing sectors to the economy of the emirate and the UAE.
