Rentals for key comparable areas in Sharjah is as much as 45,000 AED for one bedroom and goes up to 95,000 AED for three bedroom. Research conducted by Colliers International suggests that high end developments with sea views enjoy high occupancy and high rental rates and there is also a good demand for residential units; in particular high quality units with sea views. Sharjah enjoys comparatively better yield as compared to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, thanks to the competitive edge provided by lower land prices. As residential demand has started to surpass Sharjah supply, Government initiatives towards the launch of new projects and road developments are likely to boost the economy and cater to the upcoming housing needs. 6 SWFC Made by Nature
