Sharjah’s industrial real estate deals doubled last year
Industrial real estate deals in Sharjah nearly doubled year on year in 2025, driven by growing demand for integrated complexes and multi-use warehouses, a senior government official has said.
Transaction value surged 89 percent to AED9.2 billion ($2.5 billion) last year from AED4.9 billion in 2024, the state-run Wam reported, quoting Obaid Al Mazloum from the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department.
The number of traded industrial properties rose to 4,416 in 2025. There are 14 industrial real estate development projects now active in the emirate.
Al Mazloum attributed the growth to flexible regulations, incentives for local and global investors and more efficient use of industrial land.
The emirate accounts for around 40 percent of the UAE’s industrial establishments and has more than 2,800 factories across 21 industrial zones. They export to over 120 countries, the report said.
In December Sharjah ruler Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi approved a 2026 budget of AED45 billion ($12 billion) to support economic growth and fund strategic initiatives and projects.
The emirate spans 2,590 square kilometres and has a population of 1.8 million, making it the third-biggest of the seven that form the UAE.
Sharjah’s FDI Office said in September that foreign direct investment rose nearly fourfold year on year in the first half of 2025.
