Al Aamra 1 Tower

On a 2,149 sqm plot, 25 floors of apartments and a parking space sold as an add-on

The Al Aamra 1 Tower plot measures 2,149 sqm. GJ Properties is building 29 levels on it: a ground floor, four parking levels and 25 residential floors, with 14 to 16 apartments per floor according to the brochure. That works out to roughly 350 to 400 units on a fairly tight footprint, right on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). The offering covers four layouts, from one bedroom to two bedrooms with study, starting at 820 square feet, or about 76 sqm. The name gives away what's coming next, since the first floor plan already shows an Al Aamra 2 Tower facing it. For investors, the case rests on three points in particular: how dense the scheme is, the detail in the sample floor plans, and a handover date that shifts depending on the source.

2,149 sqm of land, 14 to 16 units per floor

The massing follows the standard template for Ajman towers along the E311: a parking podium topped by a dense residential shaft. Four parking levels for around 375 units is tight, and that ratio probably explains the sales approach described further down. On the facade, the developer has gone for strict geometric lines, large glazed openings and an alternating pattern of light and dark tones. No architecture firm is credited in the documents reviewed. With 14 to 16 doors per floor, buyers should expect busy corridors and quite different orientations from one unit to the next.

The first floor plan, unit by unit

The brochure publishes the first floor areas, which list 14 numbered units. The one bedroom in series 102 comes to 107.01 sqm in total, including a 26.89 sqm terrace, with a living room measuring 3.15 by 6.90 meters. The one bedroom with study (series 103) goes up to 118.39 sqm, with a study measuring 3.00 by 3.15 meters and a second bathroom. The two bedrooms in series 101 and 105 are listed at 229.13 sqm, but a 99.14 sqm terrace makes up a large share of that, so the actual indoor area sits closer to 130 sqm. The two bedroom with study (series 106) reaches 235.15 sqm, with a master bedroom measuring 5.40 by 3.25 meters and a 51.84 sqm terrace. These large terraces likely come down to the first floor's position on top of the podium. They shouldn't be assumed to carry through to the upper floors, where the entry-level unit drops to 76 sqm.

The parking space is priced separately

The sales document spells it out in plain terms: the private parking space is an "optional add-on." It is not included in the apartment price. That matters for anyone planning to rent to expat families who drive between Ajman, Sharjah and Dubai. It needs to be factored into the total cost from the booking stage, and the number of spaces actually available at the time of purchase should be checked. Beyond that, the amenities are typical of a mid-market building: a shared pool with pool deck, an equipped gym, a lobby, 24-hour security and CCTV, walking paths and seating areas.

Between the E311, Al Zahia and Emirates City

The first floor plan lists four orientations: the E311, the Al Zahia community, Emirates City and the sister tower Al Aamra 2. The brochure's map places nearby the Mango Market, Khazna's data center, a nursery, Ajman's MCC cricket ground, Mohamed Bin Zayed University and Hampton Heights British school. The developer quotes 10 to 20 minutes to Ajman City Center, Al Hamidiya Park and Saudi German Hospital, and under 20 minutes to the Corniche. Sharjah and Dubai airports are put at 20 to 30 minutes away, with Downtown Dubai and Al Marjan Island over 30 minutes. These times assume smooth traffic on the E311, which is rarely the case during peak hours heading toward Dubai.

10% down payment, handover between late 2027 and mid-2028

The payment plan asks for 10% at booking, then spreads the balance over a period of up to five years. The brochure does not break down the split between construction and post-handover installments, so the exact schedule needs to be requested. The timeline itself is unclear. The project's data sheet lists December 31, 2027, while the official document points to handover in the second quarter of 2028. A six-month gap matters little for a primary residence, but it shifts the starting point for rental income in any yield calculation. As with other freehold zones in Ajman, the purchase is open to all nationalities, resident or not.

GJ Properties keeps adding towers in Ajman

Al Aamra 1 Tower joins a string of projects launched by GJ Properties in the emirate. The developer is already selling Bluebell Residence in the same Al Amerah district, the two Barajeel towers in Al Rashidiya 1, and Infiniti Tower. This concentration gives it solid knowledge of the local market. It also means buyers face a large supply from the same developer, with several handovers landing close together. Before signing, it's worth comparing the payment plans across these nearby projects, which range from a 50% payment deferred until after handover to 1% monthly installments.
