Dubai: Emirates Post Group has ventured into property development in Ajman by entering into an agreement with Ajman Sports and Cultural Club to develop malls and commercial buildings in Ajman on land owned by the club.
Emirates Post will build malls and commercial buildings in three locations, with the Ajman club receiving a fixed percentage of the revenues annually for a 20-year period.
At the end of this period, there is an option to either extend the contract or hand over the properties to the club.

In addition, Emirates Post Group will offer space to the Ajman club to open supermarkets which will be run by the proposed Ajman Cooperative Society.
The rest of the space will be used by Emirates Post Group to offer postal and non postal services, for activities of subsidiaries companies and for renting to outside companies.

Ajman has developed good infrastructure and an investor-friendly business climate that is attracting investors from all over the world," Abdulla Al Daboos, president of Emirates Post Group, said.
