Industrial Area 15 sits close to the point where Sharjah meets Dubai, which makes it one of the busiest trade zones in the emirate. Two big roads frame the district: Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Maliha Road. The zone is mixed use, so warehouses, offices, shops, and labor camps sit right next to homes for the local workforce.
The roads are built for heavy traffic and keep large trucks moving with ease. That is why commercial properties for rent in Industrial Area 15 suit logistics and supply work so well. During work hours, the streets fill with trucks and vans, and the area feels busy and hands on. It has no quiet parks or green space like a suburb, but it sits close to Dubai and central Sharjah, and that access is hard to beat.
The market in Sharjah Industrial Area 15 is mostly warehouses and storage. Rents shift a lot based on three things: power supply, ceiling height, and how easy a unit is to reach. A small shed and a large plant can share a street yet cost very different sums.
Units start at about 2,000 sq ft and rise to 6,500 sq ft. Small warehouses fit light storage, while bigger ones have taller ceilings, from 8 to 12 meters, and stronger power. A 15 kW supply covers basic storage, but firms that make goods should look for 30 kW, three phase power to skip costly upgrades later.
Rents range from AED 100,000 to AED 400,000 per year. Price tracks size, power, and ceiling height.
The zone sits between two big roads, so trips to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the Northern Emirates stay quick, and daily deliveries move fast.
Under Sharjah Law No. (5) of 2024, rent cannot rise for the first three years of a lease, so new firms can plan costs with ease during that time.
Many warehouses come with power up to 30 kW, three phase links, and civil defense sign off on fire systems, which cuts both the time and cost to start.
Labor camps, cheap homes, shops, and bus routes all sit in the zone, so it is simpler to house and move a large team.
Great for firms that send out goods each day and need fast roads.
Fits firms that need 30 kW, three phase power, and tall ceilings for machines.
Inner blocks give lower rents for backend storage with no street view needed.
Budget firms can find fair rents deeper inside the zone.
The zone covers daily needs, with shops, food, and clinics close by. Loading is easy too, since many units, mostly those on the main road, have docking bays for large trucks.
The district has strong links in every direction. The E311 highway runs along its edge and gives tenants direct roads to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the Northern Emirates. Units near the Maliha Road corridor sit close to buses and clinics, which helps firms with large teams.
Sharjah International Airport is about a 12-minute drive away, so air cargo stays easy, and it beats many other industrial areas in Sharjah on that count. Nearby, Muwaileh Commercial hosts Safari Mall, while areas such as Al Majaz and Al Nahda offer parks and fun a short drive away. This spot in the wider industrial area of Sharjah keeps trade and daily errands close.
Rents start at about AED 100,000 per year for a standard warehouse and rise to AED 400,000 per year for a large unit on the main road with high power and tall ceilings.
You pay an attestation fee to the Sharjah Municipality. It is AED 100 for the tenancy contract, plus 5% of the yearly rent, with a floor of AED 500.
No. Under Sharjah Law No. (5) of 2024, a landlord cannot raise rent for the first three years of the first contract. After that, any rise must match fair market rates set by the Executive Council, and it can happen only once every two years.
Yes, but any build work, such as adding office cubicles, must go in the lease and get Sharjah approval first. A warehouse also cannot become an office without the right permits, so check that the listed use matches your trade license.
No. Sharjah rental law bans subletting on any property, and this covers commercial units and shared bachelor housing.
You need a valid trade license, passport copies of the owners and managers, an Emirates ID, the trade name, and a power of attorney if one applies.
