Anybody has any insight or opinions on Al-Helio Downtown in Ajman. The project is in Pre-Launch and is to be launched in Oct 2008, which "completion 2011". I have read the full developer's report and have concerns of issues like, No Potable Water, No electricity to Sewage system big enough to cater for the proposed project population.

The architech is the same as for Burj Al Arab, and prices are AED 575 /sqft.

I have a feeling that if Ajman does fly, this might be one of the standout projects in Ajman downtown but just thought may be others have any opinions on this project and Ajman in general and slightly worried about the current lack of infrastructures.

All comments welcome

Am I the only one that has invested in this developement??? Obviously I saw it as a standout among the countless projects being executed in Ajman at present???

Anybody else know about this?

Why did you see it as a stand our project compared to others in ajman?

The developers involved, the spec of the project, the spec of the Executive towers is different class to most of the common properties being built in Ajman, all of course IMHO and also pure gut instincts.

thanks, just like to hear comparisons and why people choose one over another.

Hi there,

I just joined this forum, and to be honest, Al Helio really seems good. It won't be crowded as it goes only 60% under development. The rest remains as parks and reserves.
Is anybody interested investing in it, or have an outstanding deal? Just drop me a line.
Thx.
