The Pointe, Palm Jumeirah will soon be undergoing redevelopment and the tenants have been asked to vacate and relocate the space. The eviction notice has mentioned 12 months for the tenants to leave the premises. Nakheel Developers has ensured us that they have been working closely with the tenants during this challenging period.
But there are certain tenants who are denying this. They are left frustrated with such irrational decisions of Nakheel Developers. Many restaurants have complained about not being involved during the decision-making process by the developer group. The owners and hoteliers are left with no option but to vacate the premises in a jiffy.
The redevelopment of the Pointe demanded the closure of the Fountain. The fountain shut down on 15th May announcing it on social media. The five-year-old mixed-use building is next to the Atlantis The Palm Hotel on the famous Palm Jumeirah.
It is a well-liked sight in Dubai and is known for its record-breaking fountain and various beachside food establishments. So tourists, if you are planning to visit the Fountain, cancel it as it has already been shut down.
