      Ajman property developer to launch $2bn masterplan

      • GJ Properties to build 10,000 apartments
      • Future projects in Dubai or Abu Dhabi
      • IPO ‘definitely’ on its radar

      Ajman developer GJ Properties plans to launch a multibillion-dollar masterplan in the emirate before expanding to Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

      The AED8.5 billion ($2.3 billion) development, due to be formally announced at the International Property Show in Dubai next year, will comprise 27 towers and almost 10,000 apartments across about 15 million square feet, CEO Ali Jaber told AGBI.

      The first phase will comprise seven towers, with construction due to begin in 2027. Jaber said he expects the full project to be completed within seven years.

      The towers will be built in phases, he said, and “there will not be a single construction helmet on site [after seven years]”.

      The project was designed by Dubai-based Al Hatmy Design and Engineering Consultancy.

      GJ Properties, a privately held, family-owned developer led by Jaber, has almost 4,500 units under construction across nine projects in Ajman, as well as the Biltmore Residences tower on Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road.

      Ali Jaber: ‘People can still afford to live in Ajman without giving up a life in the UAE’

      Its development pipeline, excluding the new masterplan, covers more than 7 million square feet, Jaber said.

      Ajman, located between Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain, has a population approaching 600,000 and is the smallest of the UAE’s seven emirates, covering about 259 square kilometres.

      The Ajman Land and Real Estate Regulation Department recorded 6,815 real estate transactions worth more than AED10.8 billion in the first half of 2026, according to the Ajman Real Estate Index.

      Jaber said the masterplan would be GJ Properties’ last major development in Ajman.

      “We’re busy here in Ajman,” he said. “But I would see ourselves after 2030 definitely being in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.”

      The company is preparing for a potential listing on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange and Deloitte is appointed to advise on the initial application process.

      “How large a percentage of the company and what assets are going to be involved – it’s probably too early for that discussion, but an IPO is definitely on our radar,” Jaber said.

      Further reading:

      Jaber said property sales at GJ Properties are up almost 40 percent year on year and demand has increased since the start of the US-Iran war in February.

      He attributed some of the increase to Ajman’s affordability compared with Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The average price per square foot in Ajman is AED300-400, compared with AED1,200-1,500 in Dubai, according to data from investment management company Colliers.

      “People can still afford to live here without having to give up a life in the United Arab Emirates because of the circumstances, or financial concerns they might be facing, as residents of Dubai or Abu Dhabi,” he said.
