Sharjah, January 24 / WAM / The Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department revealed that the industrial real estate market in the emirate has achieved an unprecedented qualitative leap. The value of trades increased from about 4.9 billion dirhams in 2024 to more than 9.24 billion dirhams in 2025, with a growth rate of 88.7%, which reflects the increasing confidence of investors and the attractiveness of the industrial investment environment in the emirate.
This came during a dialogue session entitled “The Future of Industrial Real Estate” organized by the department yesterday evening, as part of the activities of the Sharjah Real Estate Exhibition (ACRES 2026), currently held at the Expo Center Sharjah, in the presence of a group of officials and experts.
Obaid Al-Mazloum, Director of the Department of Real Estate Projects Regulation at the Department, confirmed that this remarkable growth is not limited to an increase in the number of industrial properties only, but rather reflects a qualitative shift in the volume of investments and the quality of projects, explaining that the number of industrial properties traded rose to 4,416 properties in 2025, in addition to the fact that Sharjah embraces about 14 industrial real estate development projects that vary between industrial lands, integrated complexes, and multi-use warehouses.
He pointed out that flexible legislation and balanced regulation directly contributed to supporting this growth by providing a stable investment environment that stimulates local and international investors and at the same time ensures the optimal use of industrial lands, which reflects positively on the trading volume and market value of industrial real estate.
Al-Mazloum explained that sustainability and innovation have become among the fundamental pillars in the development of industrial areas in Sharjah through the adoption of smart solutions in energy and infrastructure management and the use of modern technologies, which contributes to reducing operational costs and raising the long-term value of real estate assets in line with the goals of sustainable development and the emirate’s future vision.
The dialogue session witnessed the participation of M. Abdul Rahman Al Suwaiji, Director of the Planning Studies Department at the Department of Planning and Survey in Sharjah, who addressed the topics of expansion of industrial infrastructure, criteria for allocating industrial lands, and integration mechanisms between urban planning, industrial and logistical growth, stressing that Sharjah embraces about 40% of the total industrial establishments in the country, supported by an integrated infrastructure and a strategic logistical location.
Jamal Bouznjal, Director of the Corporate Communications Department at the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry, reviewed the Chamber’s role in supporting and empowering the industrial sector and its various initiatives to attract investments, noting that the emirate includes more than 2,800 factories (industrial units) distributed over 21 industrial zones and exports its products to more than 120 countries around the world.
The session concluded by emphasizing that real estate and industrial spaces represent one of the main drivers for achieving Sharjah Vision 2030 by supporting economic diversification, strengthening supply chains, attracting quality investments, and consolidating the emirate’s position as a leading regional center for industry and logistics services.
