New move to regulate building use in Sharjah

Sharjah:  Landlords in Sharjah can turn their residential buildings into commercial and professional facilities according to certain conditions, under a new resolution issued on Tuesday by the Sharjah Executive Council.

The council issued the resolution on Tuesday in a meeting chaired by Shaikh Sultan Bin Mohammad Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah.

Under the new real estate measures, a committee will be set up to examine applications for commercial and professional use of buildings in view of technical criteria.

The move aims at regulating the use of buildings at the permissible leaseable residential districts.
