Sharjah Investment Centre releases staff accommodation plots for sale

This step follows the release and rapid subsequent sales of industrial and mixed-use plots in the project's first and second phases. Demand remains high for property in the SIC, which promises significant economic activity and growth for the emirate of Sharjah, both during its development and after its completion.

Mr. Saleh Nasser Al Sorayai, Chairman of SNASCO and of the SIC, said, "The progress of the SIC thus far has been phenomenal, as has the demand for property in this development, and the demand continues to grow. Plots have thus far been snapped up as soon as they were released for sale, and with the launch of these staff accommodation plots, we expect to be extremely busy during the coming period".

"Our vision for this portion of the development is a fully-equipped living area that provides residents with everything required for convenient living, while simultaneously maintaining the highest of standards in terms of quality and consideration for the environment," Al Sorayai added.

The 32 million ft² development, strategically located between 2 international airports and just 10km away from Sharjah's busy Al Hamriyah shipping port, offers a fully integrated and serviced community within a self-contained environment, including its own district cooling and sewerage treatment systems, as well as a recycling system for grey water, which will supply water for the development's irrigation and fire fighting services, eliminating the use of healthy drinking water for these services.

Grading and leveling for the SIC was completed in December of 2007, and excavation, backfilling and the laying of pipes for the development's sewerage network, as well as the storm water drainage and potable water networks at the end of March 2008, with further construction progressing on schedule.
