Three cancelled projects, and what to do about them
The Palm in our database: 250 lots, median AED 8.2 million at an average of AED 4,781/ft².
A 45% discount to the island isn't a bargain — it's the price of risk, and the process here is the same as for Marasi Riverside and Anwa.
First: check the status with the land department yourself. A cancelled project and a renamed one are different things with different consequences, and the name alone won't tell them apart.
Second: find out exactly what's being sold — an assignment of a contract on a halted build, a lot in a re-registered project on the same plot, or an outdated listing.
Third: if it's about a contract on a frozen build, go to a lawyer. Dubai has an escrow-and-committee mechanism for refunds on projects like this, and it's not a broker's matter.
And separately about the brand: Kempinski's agreement with a cancelled project most likely no longer stands. Buying "Kempinski" here doesn't mean buying the brand.
Propsearch passport: developer Nayef Abu Sekra, status "Planned (Cancelled)". Our stock as of 28 August 2026: 2 lots (areas, prices, price per square foot), per-project calculations for the island, Palm median and average; comparison — the Marasi Riverside and Anwa reviews.
Where it is
Nothing in the stock for this project right now
The stock refreshes every night, and lots here appear and go. Message me — I will check the closed bases and suggest the nearest alternatives in Palm Jebel Ali.
Palm Jebel Ali. Nakheel’s second palm: twice the size of the first, dredged in the 2000s, abandoned for fifteen years and relaunched in 2023.
How much does an apartment in Kempinski Palm cost?
No open lots for the building today. I will check the price of the layout you are after in the closed databases and send it with every cost of the deal worked out.
Knight Frank counted 500 Dubai home sales above US$10m in 2025, worth US$9.05bn, against 30 in 2020. The first half of 2026 added 296 more worth US$5.1bn, a half-year record. Where the money went and why the top of the market held up.
In March 2024 Nakheel and Meydan were folded into Dubai Holding and their boards dissolved. By 2026 Palm Jebel Ali has 544 villas on Fronds A–F and 728 on K–P in finishing works, and 892 homes at Jebel Ali Village are being handed over. What changed for buyers, and what did not.
Nakheel has released 44 beachfront villas on Palm Jebel Ali’s Frond F: Beach Collection (5–6 beds, 7 500–8 500 sq ft) and Coral Collection (6–7 beds, up to 12 500 sq ft), ten designs by NAGA, SAOTA, LW Design and LOCI. 544 villas are under construction; the first mall, The Yard, opens in 2027.
Nakheel awarded AED 3.5bn of contracts for 544 Palm Jebel Ali villas due in Q4 2028; Dubai Retail is building The Yard, the island's first retail hub with 26 concepts, for 2027; and Select Group became the first private developer on the island. How a stalled project is turning into a district.
Dubai’s second palm archipelago, restarted after a long pause. Its dimensions are worth stating in full, because they are what explains its effect on the market — including on the mainland behind it.
A five-bedroom villa is the most sought-after coastal format, which makes it a convenient way to compare locations. Four reference points, and the three factors behind the near-twofold gap.
Where this project stands today
I will send the available layouts, the real entry price and what owners and tenants actually say about the building — without the brochure language.
