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

The Council issued the resolution in a meeting chaired by H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed 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.
