The honouring ceremony, held under the theme “Excellence… Rising Among the Stars”, was attended by His Excellency Abdul Aziz Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Director General of the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, in addition to former directors of the department, a number of officials and directors of government and private entities, companies and institutions operating in the emirate, as well as numerous media professionals working in various media outlets and institutions in the UAE.
A Sustainable partnership between the Department and Its partners
At the beginning of the ceremony, His Excellency Abdul Aziz Al-Shamsi welcomed the attendees, emphasizing; "excellence does not come by chance, but rather is the result of dedicated work and a clear vision for a prosperous future. Therefore, this ceremony comes within the framework of strengthening the sustainable partnership between the Department and its partners to serve Sharjah’s real estate."
Al-Shamsi added, "The year 2024 was exceptional, not only in the volume of transactions, but also in the quality of this activity, the expansion of the investor base, and the diversity of real estate projects. This prosperity can be attributed to a number of fundamental factors, most notably: the continued direct government support for the real estate, the emirate’s stable economic environment, and the incentive decisions that allowed property ownership for non-citizens and Gulf nationals, in addition to the abundance of major development projects in various regions, which aligned with the needs of the local and regional market."
His Excellency also stated, "The real estate continues its outstanding performance in 2025, thanks to the development vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and the follow-up of His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Chairman of the Executive Council, may God protect them. Their vision firmly anticipates the future and enhances sustainable development in Sharjah."
