Nakheel Hands Over the First Homes on Palm Jebel Ali
The revived Palm Jebel Ali masterplan covers 1,700 villas and 6,000 apartments for about 35,000 families across seven fronds, up to twice the size of Palm Jumeirah. Villa construction is running on all 12 residential fronds, with the island as a whole targeted for 2028.
- Construction on Palm Jebel Ali restarted in 2024 and "first properties planned for Q1 2027" - the window in which this pin places the first handovers[1]
- The archipelago as a whole is "presently intended for completion in 2028"[1]
- The relaunch plans of September 2022 covered 1,700 villas and 6,000 apartments, alongside a Nakheel rebrand and a $4.6 billion debt restructuring[1]
- On 31 May 2023 Sheikh Mohammed announced the relaunch at up to twice the size of Palm Jumeirah, with about 110 km of added coastline, more than 80 hotels, a Gateway Tower, housing for 35,000 families and a third of public facilities on renewable energy[1]
- The article gives the island's size two ways: the original plan was described as 50 percent larger than Palm Jumeirah, while the 2023 relaunch is up to twice its size; the pin follows the newer figure[1]
- Earlier history: construction began October 2002 and was originally due mid-2008; the breakwater was completed December 2006 and infrastructure work began April 2007; the project went on hold after the 2008 financial crisis, with property prices reportedly down 40% in the two months to November 2008 and Nakheel offering refunds in March 2011[1]
- In October 2018 Nakheel's CEO confirmed no immediate restart plans; villa plans were announced in July 2021; and in May 2022 reports described a Dubai court judgment cancelling the project and voiding 724 villa contracts, refunding investors their original investment only[1]
- 30 owners appealed that cancellation judgment, and in 2024 two investor groups issued trigger letters for international arbitration against Dubai Holdings, including Nakheel[1]
- The article does not mention seven fronds, nor villa construction running on all 12 residential fronds, as the pin states[1]
