Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, the exhibition is expected to facilitate property transactions worth AED 5 billion, driven by the exclusive showcase of newly launched real estate projects, targeted incentives, special discounts, and flexible payment plans designed to meet diverse investment strategies.
Covering more than 10,000 square metres, this year’s edition will host over 120 exhibitors from major real estate development and investment companies, as well as leading developers from across the UAE. They will showcase more than 200 projects, including residential, commercial and industrial plots, retail units, and residential properties such as apartments, townhouses, villas, and modern and sustainable communities, with a significant number of developments being introduced to the Sharjah market for the first time.
ACRES 2026 will announce the introduction of the first escrow account regulatory system for real estate projects. Under this system, property buyers deposit their payments into a bank-managed account, from which developers may withdraw funds as construction milestones are met.
This mechanism ensures that the buyer's funds are protected and not diverted to other projects. It also safeguards investors' financial rights and significantly boosts investor confidence in Sharjah’s real estate sector, thereby reinforcing the strength of the emirate’s legislative and regulatory framework and its alignment with international best practices.
This year’s edition features a comprehensive programme of knowledge, with panel discussions, workshops, and training sessions led by more than 30 industry experts in both Arabic and English.
The programme focuses on analysing real estate market trends and highlighting the latest developments and investment prospects. Key topics include supply and demand indicators, market adjustments, evolving buyer behaviour, and tenant preferences, in addition to core real estate investment fundamentals. It will also highlight the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain, and their practical applications within the sector.
The exhibition will launch the first edition of the “ACRES Podcast,” featuring more than 12 free Arabic and English episodes, led by industry experts, during the exhibition period.

The Sharjah Real Estate Exhibition “ACRES” coincides with strong momentum in the emirate’s real estate market. During the first nine months of 2025, Sharjah recorded cash transactions worth AED 44.3 billion, representing a notable 58.3 percent increase, one of the highest growth rates seen in recent years. Sales transactions also exceeded 24,000 deals, with a 42.6 percent increase, highlighting increased demand and a broader range of investment opportunities.
Sharjah attracted investors from 121 nationalities, underscoring the market’s growing global appeal, and foreign investment transactions totalled around AED 23.2 billion, representing annual growth of 62.2%.
His Excellency Saeed Ghanem Al Suwaidi, Chairman of the Representative Committee of the Real Estate Sector Business Group at SCCI and Chairman of the Organising Committee of ACRES, emphasised the exhibition’s strategic role as a platform connecting leading property investors and developers.
He noted that this year’s edition has fully occupied its 10,000-square-metre space, hosting over 120 leading real estate companies from across the UAE. These indicators demonstrate strong investor confidence, particularly given the 2025 edition’s performance, which recorded total transactions exceeding AED 4.3 billion, a 207% increase over 2024.
Al Suwaidi affirmed that the Sharjah Executive Council's (SEC) decision to reduce sales and purchase fees for real estate transactions conducted during ACRES 2026 plays an important role in supporting the exhibition’s success. He noted that this move encourages property developers to introduce high-value projects and attracts a diverse pool of investors from different nationalities.
