GCD 2 completed 22% (as per ARRA's new website)

Dear investor

Please check ARRA's new website www.arra.ae , I must say ARRA has designed a good website which tries to bring clearity and regain lost trust. But I must say we should be still be carefull as it can be just another tactics to lure poor customers and ask them to pay more money. I say this becuase when I checked for GCD 2 , the website is showing the escrow account , bank name and master developer's name but is also showing that the tower has been comleted 22%. :jawdrop: FOR THE LAST 1.5 YEARS NOT a single BRICK HAS BEEN MOVED ON THE SITE. There is only one big borad on the site and nothing else. So why this wrong information on website ????Just to create feel good factor and get some more money ????? :?

write to ARRA

Write that information to ARRA

GCD1 NOT GCD2

Just to notify the investers the mis identity of a project by hari, i think what you've seen on the ARRA web site is not about GCD2 but it is about GCD1. I don't think if the've ever started GCD2 let alone any completion.

RECVD THIS EMAIL FROM STAR GIGA TODAY AND REPLIED

Thankyou for the email,

Good to hear that finally an account has been setup but yes, there are few questions may be more important than this ascrow account should be answered.

1: Construction?
2: Rental Guarantee?
3: Visa?
4: Completion date?
5: Value/Price (amount)

I guess all these are very important question for all the investors abroad paying for these projects, especially no. 2 and 3, I signed the contract on the basis of these two fascilities, If they are not anymore considered then its a breach of contract and it no longer is valid. Hope you will answer all the questions in necessary detail.

GCD2

I got the same e-mail today, and I was asking myself the same questions which you put into your mail to them. I will be in Dubai next week and I will definitely pay Star Giga a visit. They cannot pretend that we have just forgotten their terrible communication with customers since July 2008, their inability to provide answers and their poor performance in addressing the essential issues concerning Emirates City.

I will update as soon as I

I will update as soon as I get the reply/answer from Star Giga

GCD 1 and not 2

I have also received the same email saying for GCD2 escrow has been opened.
The ARRA website still has not included GCD2. What is put up on the website as GCD A , B, C & D refers to Towers of GCD1 . Because the escrow a/c no. mentioned there don't match up to what I have received in the email yesterday for GCD2.
ARRA had to add GCD2 on their list.
Again the agonizing question for everyone now is WHAT NEXT? CONTINUE PAYMENT OR NOT? All members please come forward with your views.

ARRA

Welle the ARRA web site can't be up to date that quickly,lol. What next? Yes, good question, but so far they haven't asked for further payments on GCD 2. I'd say don't pay and I always was a "good" payer, very on time etc. I am so upset that I threw 16 000 AED in their faces in november 2008, when I saw with my own eyes in July 2008, that GCD 2 was at a stand still. Won't make that mistake again. They have to show incredible activity on the site before I dash out any more money. Also all questions in fzafar's poste need to be answered.
Even so my trust in ARRA is at the lowest it can possibly be, an ARRA approved payment plan and proof of being registered with ARRA as a developer is a MUST before any further payments.
Anyways, I will show up in their office (ARRA and Star GIGA) next week, except if I am prevented by the volcanic cloud over Europe.

day 1

24 hrs gone, I guess offices must have been close in UAE by now cause its 1500 pm in UK, So we can start counting, Day 1 - No Answer

so did you get an answer? I

so did you get an answer? I guess not.

they must give us chance , decide to take money back or continue

i bought from GCD2 , they must clear about visa and a new agreement must be written , and they must let investors to take their money back or continue , cos if they are realy start building , they can sell to new investors and so they must give us this chance to decide about it after so much delay .

This is what you should

This is what you should think, but you are not dealing with people, who respect contracts or laws. As often stated: Ajman is like the Wild West. There are no laws and worst of all: there isn't such a thing as honor.

they dont seem to have any

they dont seem to have any God

I have sent another email, no reply so far

vist to Star Giga

I visited their office at Giga House next to Oasis Center last week. Talking to them you just go around in circles. I addressed the issue of them never replying to emails. They acted very surprised. I told them that amongst investors the confidence in Star Giga is -100%, they actually agreed, that their biggest job was to restore confidence. But by not replying to mails they never will. After all: we live in an age of communication. If you don't communicate people will turn away from you.
