Sharjah residential real estate market expansion

Overview

The Sharjah real estate market is experiencing a period of growth characterized by rising rental costs and significant residential expansion. As of August 2026, average rental rates across the emirate increased by 1.8 percent year-on-year, with notable rises in areas such as Muwaileh Commercial, Al Majaz, and Al Nahda. This demand is being met by large-scale projects, including the Dh3.5 billion Al Tay Hills development, which aims to provide approximately 1,100 family-oriented homes.

Furthering this market activity, Aldar Properties has made its first investment in the emirate through a $300 million (AED 1.1 billion) agreement with Arada. The deal involves the forward purchase of nine buildings containing over 1,100 residential units within the Aljada mixed-use development. These properties are expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2029. This acquisition follows a broader AED 15 billion strategic partnership between Aldar and Arada, supporting the long-term development of the Aljada project.
