In an unprecedented move that reflects the evolution of Dubai’s real estate sector and the growing investment opportunities in the city center, Ahmed Mostafa Ahli Investment Group has announced the launch of sales for the first fully freehold residential and commercial units on Sheikh Zayed Road. These units are part of the group’s flagship development, AA TOWER, which is one of the latest and most prominent mixed-use towers in the area.
The project will be officially unveiled at an exclusive launch event organized by the group in collaboration with Harbor Real Estate, the exclusive sales agent, on Tuesday, May 27, at the V Hotel in Al Habtoor City. The event will be attended by leading investors and real estate professionals from across the region.
AA TOWER marks a milestone as the first mixed-use project to be included in the fully freehold market. This follows a recent decision by the Dubai government allowing private property owners on Sheikh Zayed Road to convert their properties into freehold ownership accessible to all nationalities. The move has significantly enhanced Dubai’s appeal on the global investment stage, both for institutions and individual investors.
Commenting on the project, Dr. Mohanad Alwadiya, CEO of Harbor Real Estate, said:
“AA TOWER is a game-changer in Dubai’s real estate market. Its strategic location on Sheikh Zayed Road—one of the most iconic and important avenues in the city—creates wide-ranging opportunities for investors from within and outside the UAE. The market is looking forward to a strong launch, as this project sets a new benchmark and reinforces Dubai’s global reputation for delivering exceptional and distinctive investment opportunities under the freehold system.”
The 60-story AA TOWER is built on a 10,000 square foot plot and comprises 369 residential units, including 195 one-bedroom apartments, 198 two-bedroom apartments, and 3 three-bedroom apartments. It also features 26 office units, 5 retail stores, and 447 parking spaces.
Floors 1 to 51 each include only eight apartments, ensuring privacy and exclusivity. Floors 52 and 53 offer larger two-bedroom apartments ranging between 1,700 and 2,100 square feet. Owners will also have the option to merge one-bedroom and two-bedroom units to suit their preferences.
Strategically located on Sheikh Zayed Road, AA TOWER boasts direct views of Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai, and Jumeirah Beach. The tower is also close to iconic destinations such as City Walk, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Museum of the Future, World Trade Centre, Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, and The Dubai Mall. It offers convenient access to major highways, public transportation, and Dubai Metro. The location is surrounded by top-tier restaurants, cafes, international schools, and hospitals.
AA TOWER also includes a full range of luxurious amenities, including a signature swimming pool, a modern gym, an indoor cinema, a multi-purpose event hall, a prayer room, and a barbecue area. Apartments are available with both open and closed kitchen layouts and are finished with high-end materials from premium brands.
What sets AA TOWER apart is its flexible post-handover payment plan, a rare offering among ready-to-move-in properties in such prime locations. For residential units, the payment plan begins with a 28% down payment, followed by 4% registration fees to the Dubai Land Department, AED 3,000 in administrative fees, and 12 quarterly payments of 6%.
For commercial spaces, the payment plan includes a 40% down payment, 4% DLD registration fee, 5% VAT, AED 3,000 in administrative fees, and 12 quarterly instalments of 5%.
