Al Shera Tower

Positives: Units are filled with natural light and are very spacious. Even in some villas and townhouses you don’t get this much space. Separate kitchen, maids room, and laundry room as well means you don’t feel cramped indoors. Negatives: - Far too many maintenance issues. Fire alarms at night, broken lifts, water issues meaning no water supply, burst water tanks, burst tap pipes … it’s too much. At this point, every fix is just patching up old and worn out infrastructure so will inevitably just get worse over time. - The gym is not well equipped at all and is also old and worn out. - No guest parking, but that is typical in JLT.

I’ve been renting an apartment in this building for a year and the experience is really very poor. They can literally cut off all water 2 times per week for “urgent maintenance” from 10pm to 6am next day. Imagine you came back home on Friday after long working day and there is no water in the building. Also the elevators 1 or 2 out of 5 are always not operating so, you wait for 3-5 minutes for the elevator to come and then it stops on every second floor you your way down. Think twice before moving in this building. Also you hear a lot of traffic from SZR and every single metro train that stops at DMCC station. Window cleaning was supposed to be more frequent but they clean windows 1 tine per year.
