sharjah — Sharjah Asset Management, or SAM, the investment arm of the government of Sharjah, on Thursday launched the Stage 2 land plots at Al Saja’s Industrial Oasis (ASIO).

The launch of plot sales in ASIO’s Stage 1 developmen­t was hugely successful, according to top officials of SAM. Al Saja’a Industrial Oasis is SAM’s freehold and 100-year leasehold developmen­t, for industrial, mixed use and retail use. Individual­s and companies of all nationalit­ies will be welcome to bid on the plots — the first time the sale of land for industrial use to non-UAE or GCC nationals has been offered, in Sharjah. A total of 114 plots will be available, as part of the Stage 2 developmen­t, with sizes ranging from 13,854 sq ft. to 112, 255 sqft.

“With constructi­on anticipate­d for completion in October 2016, companies or individual­s looking for light to medium use, industrial mixed use, and retail land plots, in one of the region’s most businessfr­iendly locations, will now have the opportunit­y to register their interest in purchasing Stage 2 plots, at the launch event,” Sharjah Asset Management chief real estate officer Gregg Downer said.

Located just five kilometres from both Sharjah Internatio­nal Airport and Al Hamriya Port, Al Saja’a Industrial Oasis offers direct access to world-class logistical infrastruc­ture; ideal for companies to import, export or re-export goods and materials — both into and out of the UAE. SAM follows a varied yet strategic approach to its investment­s.

Sectors it invests in include finance and trade, logistics, technology, real estate, transporta­tion, industrial, and oil and gas.

Al Saja’a Industrial Oasis aims to further position Sharjah as an ideal environmen­t of steady economic growth, a major centre for logistics and oil and gas developmen­t, as well a being a platform for a flourishin­g industrial and real estate sector, in the region.

Al Saja’a Industrial Oasis’ land holdings stretch over an area of 14.1 million sq.ft. with a salable area of 10.5 million sq.ft. A total of 353 plots are available for industrial, mixed use, retail and staff accommodat­ion uses.
