Sharjah, UAE – January 25, 2026 — Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in partnership with the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department and Leader Events Management, concluded the ACRES 2026 exhibition at Expo Centre Sharjah after drawing record investor turnout. Over 120 entities showcased more than 200 sustainable real estate projects across 10,000 square metres, projecting AED 5 billion ($1.4 billion) in transactions.

The three-day exhibition featured residential, commercial, and sustainable developments targeting regional and international investors. Standout launches included Sharjah Sustainable City II by Shurooq, offering eco-friendly townhouses with solar panels and zero service charges for three years; Masaar 3 by Arada, emphasizing green spaces and cycling infrastructure; and Ajmal Makan City by Ajmal Makan Real Estate, a waterfront development in Al Hamriyah relying on natural ecological systems.

— Saeed Ghanem Al Suwaid, Chairman of the Organising Committee

Industry Context
Sharjah’s real estate market recorded AED 65.6 billion in transactions last year, marking a 64.3 percent increase year-over-year. ACRES 2026 builds on the 2025 edition’s AED 4.3 billion in deals, with heightened emphasis on proptech integration and government incentives including fee reductions. While Dubai continues adding supply across luxury and mid-market segments, Sharjah differentiates through sustainability-focused master communities and affordability. The emirate’s strategy aligns with broader UAE environmental commitments and positions it as a hub for investors seeking green real estate opportunities in the MENA region.
Conclusion
ACRES 2026 reinforces Sharjah’s position as a regional real estate hub, channeling investor capital toward sustainable urban development projects. The exhibition’s transaction projections signal continued momentum in the emirate’s property sector through 2026.
