Palm Jebel Ali is an upscale island project by Nakheel Properties, re-launched in June 2023 with a new development plan approved by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The project forms a central part of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and is aimed at increasing Dubai's luxury residential and tourism market considerably. Although there has not been an announced completion date as yet, the project is well underway, with the initial set of villas already sold out, showing high levels of investor demand.
Spanning an impressive 13.4 sq. km., Palm Jebel Ali is projected to be twice the size of the iconic Palm Jumeirah. The masterplan includes the development of seven connected islands, which will host 80 hotels and resorts. The project aims to accommodate approximately 35,000 families upon completion, offering a unique blend of serene island living and vibrant leisure opportunities. This ambitious undertaking will also add 110 km to Dubai’s coastline.
Residential properties on Palm Jebel Ali Islands will feature a variety of beachfront houses, ranging from luxury villas, townhouses, and apartments. Nakheel has initially launched two signature collections of villas: The Beach Collection (5 and 6-bedroom villas) and The Coral Collection (7-bedroom contemporary villas), and both of them are available in eight architectural styles. These houses are expected to feature private backyards, lawns, private pools, and beach access, and are expected to be handed over in 2027.
Palm Jebel Ali is being built with high emphasis on sustainability and modern urban planning. It will feature pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods, smart city technology, and an abundance of transport options. The island will boast a green and clean environment with extensive cycling and pedestrian routes. Furthermore, approximately 30% of the energy required for public facilities will be generated through renewable energy, in line with Dubai's vision for sustainable development.
