RERA For Urgent Action



RERA this time to action and bring the market to old days. People trust is missing on all of these issues.

Wonder how many people would still fight me



Not going to tout "told you so", but I wonder would be thrashed by as many "Dubai is shooting up and defying all doubters" hounds as I was two years ago when we were screaming that the whole infrastructure system and actual market does not allow for such building to continue?

Al Rashed/Ajman



We invested with Al Rashed last year and so far and not a stone has been lifted - everything remains on paper. They failed to file with ARRA and are making no effort to refund or consolidate. What are the authorities waiting for? Why is more not being done to project investors? Its not rocket science - no project, money back. Innocent people trusted these developers and invested their hard earned money to build a future in Dubai. If Dubai cares ... now is the time to act and clamp down on these renegade developers to ensure the future of Dubai's real estate market.

Same Story - Different Developer (Schon Properties, Dubai Lagoon)



I have friends that have been pulled around since 2003 with these guys. 49 towers and they are just at the point where they have not completely built one tower, they have done a few floors of a FEW buildings! They are also being told conflicting stories of the Lagoon, the actual water surrounding, will not be done. These buyers have gone to RERA, compained to the Rulers Court, and nothing happens. The owners of Schon have even been allowed to continue selling off plan in other parts of the UAE with all these problems of non compliance of building. It's a shame because it looks like RERA is protecting these developers because if they actually went in and closed them down and put them in jail, how will the project finish, or where will the money come from to pay back the almost $1 BILLION Schon has taken. In order to bring back consumer confidence, the government needs to go in and close these developers down. The people I know are not multi=millionaires but hard working people the Schon Properties - Dubai Lagoon, have taken for a ride.
Cheers to all!

aci / deyaar



no one will have cofidence in the dubai real estate market untill the law of the land is followed. no one in rera or the court seems strong enough to impliment these laws.
these projects are not postponed, they will never be built...if nothing happened in the last 2 "good" years its impossible to expect anything better in the current recession. these developres must return funds or go to jail.

Same Story - Different Developer (Deyaar)



Regretably same thing happening at Deyaar who refuse to return the 20% I have paid them since November 2007 for an appartment at Deyaar Park Downtown Jebel Ali. They have not started any construction so far as the project is on "hold" due to issues with the master developer. How long it will be on "hold" for no one at Deyaar can say and they just use this ploy to stop giving people refunds. These tactics will do nothing to rebuild the tarnished image of the Dubai realty market. I have learnt a painful lesson which is to invest in real markets where there is a law to protect buyers from even supposedly reputable companies like Deyaar who take your money, deliver nothing and refuse to give refunds.

niki lauda tower



i think mr sam must be an aci employee !!!
i invested in niki lauda project over a year ago and nothing has happened, they dug a huge hole and then kept making us pay ...we all had enough and stopped when they claimed they could build a 30 storie building without any foundations ..... we have asked for money back as we had paid 30 % ...this was refused... my contract was then terminated as i refused to pay for completed piling installment when there was still ony a hole .... i have since spent another 100k$ on lawyers bills and so far am on court apperance number 7 and nothing has been agreed apart from aci stating that it is nothing to do with them ....i must have been mistaken as to whom we paid the money .... but i can assure you it was aci... all i want is for the law of the land to be upheld and my monies returned . i am shocked to discover that this same project appears to be sold to investors in germany as well. we have tried to tell the authorities here that there is something wrong but so far no action has been taken ....maybe now that gomopa has made this public the truth of the situation will be seen.

Where is my money??



I bought through ACI for a project in Ajman called Highfield Towers.
To this day I have never heard from ACI or Al Rashed (the developer) as to where my contract or money is!! Its been almost 1 year since I paid 5% and have never been requested to pay more or offered my money back! I have spoken to several investors in the same situation so the question is where is our money? Why hasnt the project started?
Please Please give me my money BACK!!!

ACI



I am a investor of aci and have met mr Robin Lohmann and his team many times in the past weeks in his office for solution!
ACI has been one of the few developers who are still providing a great customer service to clients!!

i have no longer faith in your newspapaer as it is all bunch of lies!!! maybe you should have waited in the office lonegr for him to visit you rather then writting bunch of none sence!

Where's the money??



Of the 19 projects, how many of the 19 plots have been paid in full? Does anyone know? Governments need to start playing tough with these property companies who have not paid for their plots. Take the plots away from them and order companies to start paying refunds.
