The Emirates News Agency reported on July 5, 2026 that preparations are underway for an exceptional edition of the Sharjah Real Estate Exhibition known as ACRES. The 2027 event is scheduled for January 20 to 23 at the Expo Centre Sharjah with plans to deliver a show that strengthens Sharjah’s position in the regional real estate sector. Officials have outlined ambitions to build on prior successes through expanded participation and programming.
According to the Acres Real Estate Exhibition website, the 2026 edition attracted 18,559 visitors along with 120 exhibitors who utilised 10,000 square metres of space across 11 categories. Those metrics underscore the event’s established role in connecting developers, investors and buyers within the UAE market. The platform has grown into a significant annual gathering that highlights Sharjah’s real estate offerings to a wide audience.
A Savills report documented that Sharjah’s residential market recorded a strong first quarter in 2026 with total real estate trading value rising 40.7 percent year on year to AED 18.5 billion across 29,235 transactions. The assessment pointed to continued buyer diversification and regulatory improvements as factors supporting the activity. Separate figures showed 7,119 real estate transactions worth AED 3.1 billion took place in May 2026 alone.
Market Data Forecast estimated that the Middle East real estate market would reach USD 937.85 billion in 2026 before expanding to USD 1,776.16 billion by 2034 with a compound annual growth rate of 8.31 percent. The projection reflects broader demand trends that encompass both residential and commercial segments across the region. Sharjah’s market has aligned with this trajectory through sustained interest in affordable and investment-grade properties.
The Acres Real Estate Exhibition website presents the event as a key platform for real estate professionals to showcase projects and engage with potential clients. Previous iterations have covered categories that include residential developments, commercial spaces and related services. Organisers are directing current efforts toward ensuring the 2027 gathering exceeds earlier benchmarks in scale and impact.
Expo Centre Sharjah has consistently hosted ACRES as a cornerstone event on the UAE real estate calendar according to the exhibition’s official documentation. The preparations unfold as the emirate registers ongoing demand for housing and investment assets amid positive market indicators. Event coordinators anticipate that the next edition will draw heightened attention from both domestic and overseas participants.
