Omar Al-Mansouri, Director of Branches Department at Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, stated: 'The real estate in the Central and Eastern regions has achieved remarkable growth and rapid prosperity in recent years, which is due to several strategic factors established by the Sharjah government as part of its comprehensive development vision. The advanced infrastructure projects, the development of road networks, and the expansion of governmental and digital services have contributed to attracting investors and enhancing customers' confidence in these promising areas.'
Al-Mansouri added: 'The facilities provided to investors, including legislative and regulatory incentives and the provision of an attractive and safe business environment, have played a major role in stimulating demand for real estate ownership, both for residential and investment purposes. For example, we are witnessing an increasing demand from citizens and residents for real estate ownership in cities like 'Khor Fakkan', 'Kalba', 'Al-Dhaid', and 'Dibba Al-Hisn', due to their high quality of life, picturesque landscapes, and proximity to major centers.'
