The Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) has appointed Yousif Ahmed AlMutawa as its new Chief Real Estate Officer. Previously serving as CEO of Sharjah Sustainable City, AlMutawa's new role expands significantly to cover the strategic development, investor engagement, and sustainable community planning for Shurooq's real estate portfolio across Sharjah and the Northern Emirates.
In his new capacity, AlMutawa will oversee Shurooq's real estate portfolio with broader responsibilities encompassing strategic development, investor relations, and sustainable community planning across Sharjah and the Northern Emirates. The appointment underscores Shurooq's commitment to enhancing Sharjah's position as a cultural investment capital and premier destination for value-driven development.
Under AlMutawa's leadership, Shurooq will continue to differentiate Sharjah's real estate offering through its curated approach prioritising livability, heritage preservation, and community-first development. Key initiatives include advancing projects like Ajwan Khorfakkan on the UAE's East Coast, which exemplifies a human-centric design philosophy integrating leisure, lifestyle, and green spaces.
Having joined Shurooq in 2006, AlMutawa brings nearly two decades of experience across project management, construction, operations, investment strategy, and property oversight. He holds a degree in e-commerce from the Higher Colleges of Technology – Sharjah, a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), and is a member of the Project Management Institute and the Real Estate Sector Business Group within the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
His academic background, coupled with practical expertise, positions him as a results-oriented leader capable of delivering complex, future-facing projects that align with Sharjah's broader vision of progress. Al Mutawa's appointment comes as Sharjah experiences growing momentum in its real estate sector, driven by the emirate's stable regulatory environment, affordable luxury value proposition, and increasing global demand for culturally rich, well-planned destinations, said a statement.
Among the major projects under his purview is Ajwan Khorfakkan, a high-profile coastal development on the UAE's East Coast. The project is being hailed as a benchmark in human-centric design, blending leisure, lifestyle, and green public spaces in a culturally rooted setting.

The agreement was signed by Mohamed El-Tarhuni, Interim Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost at AUS, and Maysarah Mahmoud Eid, Director General of ADPIC, and paves the way for future collaboration in research, student development, and capital project planning. The partners outlined several broad areas of cooperation between AUS and ADPIC, including joint research, internship opportunities, student career events, and the integration of capital project management topics into selected academic courses at AUS. This collaboration directly supports ADPIC's long-term roadmap to advance infrastructure innovation, and develop a skilled national workforce. Additionally, AUS and ADPIC officials agreed on a draft framework for future information exchange and the development of project-specific agreements. 'We are delighted to be partnering with ADPIC on this important initiative,' said Tod A. Laursen, Chancellor of AUS. 'This partnership creates exciting new avenues for our students to engage with real-world infrastructure challenges, while highlighting AUS' ongoing strong commitment to supporting the UAE's strategic development goals through our academic and research expertise.' Maysarah Mahmoud Eid, Director General of ADPIC explained, 'This MoU with AUS is a strategic imperative for Abu Dhabi's future. Our infrastructure ambitions demand a pipeline of highly skilled, innovative talent, and this partnership directly cultivates that by creating an integrated ecosystem where cutting-edge research meets practical application. By bridging academia with real-world capital projects, we are building physical assets, while investing in intellectual capital that will drive the next generation of urban development across the UAE.' As the entity responsible for overseeing and coordinating all capital projects in the emirate, ADPIC plays a crucial role in shaping Abu Dhabi's infrastructure priorities. This collaboration opens up opportunities for students across various disciplines, including engineering, architecture, business, and public policy. It also reinforces the vital role of higher education in shaping the future of the UAE's infrastructure landscape, the statement noted. The MoU, which will remain in effect for two years, also promotes the inclusion of ADPIC expertise in student seminars and workshops, also exploring future employment and training opportunities for Australian graduates. This agreement represents a significant step forward for both institutions, and facilitates the integration of academic and research expertise with national development priorities.
