Nakheel Greenlights Palm Jebel Ali, Take Two
- Palm Jebel Ali, begun October 2002 and put on hold after the 2008 financial crisis, was relaunched with a new master plan announced by Sheikh Mohammed on 31 May 2023, with construction restarting in 2024[2][3]
- The revived project is up to twice the size of Palm Jumeirah, with seven islands and 16 fronds, 90+ km of beachfront, 80+ hotels and resorts, and homes for 35,000 families[2][3]
- On 27 April 2026 Nakheel awarded contracts worth over Dh3.5 billion ($950 million) for 544 villas, to Ginco (354 villas, Fronds A-D) and UNEC (190 villas, Fronds E and F), with completion targeted for end-2028[3]
- Earlier Wikipedia notes say first properties were planned for Q1 2027 and completion is intended for 2028; investor disputes over the earlier cancellation led to arbitration trigger letters in 2024[2]
