The Department of Awqaf in Sharjah has finalized the reconstruction of the Umm Al Tarrafa Endowment, fulfilling directives from Ruler Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi to preserve and develop endowments. This initiative is part of a broader reconstruction plan launched in 2011 to ensure the sustained continuity of endowment projects.

The Umm Al Tarrafa project revitalized a dilapidated old market comprising several commercial shops. It has been transformed into a comprehensive residential and commercial development covering 1,852.9 square meters. The site now features 140 residential apartments, 9 commercial stores, and 141 parking spaces, spread across a ground floor, two parking levels, and ten residential floors.
