Sharjah Sustainable City, the first sustainable integrated project in the norther emirate, will be taking part in the Real Estate Investment Exhibition (Acres 2020), which will be held at the Sharjah Expo Center from March 5 to 7.

It is a joint venture between Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) and Diamond Developers, a specialist in sustainable environmental projects in the UAE.

Spread over a sprawling 7.2 million sq ft area, Sharjah Sustainable City boasts many residential complexes of three-, four- and five-bedroom villas, in addition to a farm, a community shopping centre, a sustainability centre and a school.

A multi-utility residential community built on the foundations of sustainability, Sharjah Sustainable City, operates 100% of solar energy and recycles 100%  of  waste water and solid wastes.

There will be vegetables farming and leafy plants on site so as to encourage walking and jogging, said the developers.

A major regional event, the Acres targets real estate developers, contracting and construction companies, agents, real estate brokers, banks, financial institutions and governmental institutions concerned with real estate affairs, as well as insurance companies, real estate management services, real estate owners, engineering companies and project management companies.
 
During the event, the developers will be highlighting the various stages of the project and also brief investors on the achievements and progress in construction works to be achieved in 2020 and 2021.

CEO Yousif Ahmed Al Mutawa pointed out that Acres 2020 was a major event attracting the stakeholders who have great interest in the real estate sector.

Stressing its importance, Al Mutawa said: "It is a leading platform in the sector in Sharjah, showcasing top real estate products of great interests that attract the local and regional investors."

He said Sharjah Sustainable City was giving a competitive post handover payment plan for the visitors during the three-day expo.

"The effective role of Acres is based on providing an opportunity to introduce the project by presenting it to visitors, whether they are investors, real estate developers, engineers, designers or buyers," he stated.

Al Mutawa stressed the importance of the exhibition as one of the main tools to promote the real estate sector in Sharjah, as the emirate managed through its economic diversification policy to provide an incubating and attractive environment for investors.

The Sharjah Sustainable City adopts the concepts of social, environmental and economic sustainability, and depends 100% on solar energy with recycling both waste and water, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
