The sustainable residential community has won the award from the Sharjah authorities for the third time

Sharjah Sustainable City, the first sustainable master-planned residential community developed by Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) in partnership with Diamond Developers, has won the Real Estate Excellence Award for the year 2022 from the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department (SRERD). This is the third consecutive year that the project has won the award.

Expressing his happiness, Yousif Ahmed Al-Mutawa, Chief Executive Officer of Sharjah Sustainable City, said, “I am thrilled to see that Sharjah Sustainable City has been once again recognised for its outstanding contributions to the real estate sector in the emirate of Sharjah. It's an accolade for the years of efforts that we have put together in line with the vision of our country's leadership. For us, every recognition and achievement are a steppingstone to do something even better as we continue to make progress toward achieving net-zero in our city. We aim to make our city one of the best examples of living sustainably and building eco-friendly communities in the face of ever-growing issues like climate change and environmental degradation. I thank SRERD for this award, and our entire team for their hard work and commitment to making our city one of the most preferred places to live in Sharjah.”
