Sharjah - Al Saja’a Industrial Oasis (ASIO), a groundbreaking and ambitious initiative by Sharjah Asset Management (SAM) that seeks to develop the industrial (with limited mixed use and retail) real estate sector of Sharjah, recently assigned globally-renowned real estate consultants, Knight Frank as their lead sales consultant. Knight Frank’s established global network and knowledge of marketing industrial developments such as this, will utilise their expertise and influence to promote Stage 2 investment of ASIO in the UAE.

Abdelaziz Fikri, Senior Manager of Al Saja’a Industrial Oasis, said: “We are pleased to announce our partnership with Knight Frank, the largest private real estate company that provides consultancy and management services globally and across the Middle East. ASIO is the ideal investment opportunity for companies based in Sharjah and neighbouring countries.”

“Thanks to Sharjah’s growing economy, demand for industrial land has attracted local and foreign investments over the past few years. Investors will be part of this economic growth through ASIO, accessing world-class infrastructure for the import and export of goods and materials from the UAE. ”

Matthew Dadd, Partner at Knight Frank, provided insights on the upcoming partnership: “We are delighted to collaborate on Phase 2 of Al Saja'a Industrial Oasis with SAM. Sharjah continues to be an important and growing market in the UAE economy. We see this development to be of great interest to industrial investors and occupiers.”

ASIO also features state-of-the-art infrastructure and facilities that align with international standards.”
