UAE-based Tiger Properties has announced the launch of its new lagoon-front master community development – Tiger Downtown Ajman – being set up at an investment of $10 billion within the Al Alia district of the northern emirate.
Planned as a ‘city within a city’, Tiger Downtown Ajman spans 5 million sq m of built-up area, organised around a central lagoon, promenades, residential towers and mixed-use buildings.
The masterplan provides for 76 buildings, including 20 lagoon-front structures, alongside retail and commercial components that are intended to support long-term economic activity in the district.
Phase One of the project, Orchid Towers, is the first residential release within the development. The cluster comprises six towers offering fully furnished studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, duplexes and a limited number of penthouses.
Beyond the residential stock, Tiger Downtown Ajman will boast more than 25 community amenities including lagoon-view pools, sports courts, a multi-purpose dome, outdoor cinema and amphitheater-style spaces as well as children’s play areas, and landscaped parks.
It will also feature external and internal jogging tracks, elevated walkways, and linear green corridors to support walkability across the site.
Tiger said 77,000 sq m of retail and around 41,000 sq m of commercial space has been allocated for cafés, restaurants, offices, and essential services.
Speaking at the launch event, CEO Eng Amer Waleed Al Zaabi said: “Tiger Downtown Ajman represents a significant long-term investment in an emirate that is seeing steady growth in both resident demand and investor interest.”
“By combining a lagoon-front setting, community infrastructure, and a structured payment plan, we are offering buyers a way to participate in the UAE’s real estate story with a clear framework and a defined delivery horizon,” he stated.
The central lagoon, which covers roughly 13,795 sq m with a water edge of around 375 m, is one of the defining features of the project.
Handover for Orchid Towers is targeted for Q4 2028.
