It wasn’t too long ago when Nakheel announced that it would return as a developer to make the dream of Palm Jebel Ali a reality. And now it has been announced by the Dubai Media Office that it has awarded a contract worth AED750 million for infrastructure work. Here’s everything you need to know about the project that is regarded as one of the most ambitious ones in the emirate.
Palm Jebel Ali Contract Awarded For Infrastructure Work
As revealed on June 16, Monday, three contracts worth more than AED750 million have been awarded by Nakheel, which is a part of Dubai Holding Real Estate. These include contracts for major infrastructure work on Palm Jebel Ali, which is scheduled to be completed by quarter 4 of 2026. As it happens, it is expected that there will be ten distinctive architectural styles for the exquisite villas that have been planned for this location.
What Does The Project Entail?
The island spans 13.4 km of land, and it includes 10.5 million square metres of development and 16 distinct fronds. All of these include 110 km of coastline, with there being 91 km of beach. Eventually, it will be home to 35,000 families. This mega project is a part of the city’s Urban Master Plan 2040. And the aim of this plan is to increase the population in the city to 5.8 million. After being stalled for more than 10 years, Nakheel revived the Palm Jebel Ali Project and sought reinvestment. Providing an additional urban centre to Dubai, it would be a major residential and leisure anchor.
In fact, contracts for resuming construction were awarded to several parties to breathe new life into the project. In fact, it was just in October 2024, when an AED270 million contract for two DEWA substations was awarded.
