Layouts and the handover date come from the sales-launch announcement; the date
of that announcement is shown next to the prices. It is what the developer
claimed at launch, not a registry record — off-plan, phasing and dates get
revised. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
About the building
Located in Palm Jebel Ali, currently under construction. Developer — Nakheel.
Specifications for Palm Central Private Residences as published by the developer — the project is under construction, so there is no Land Department record yet.
They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
About the project
Palm Central Private Residences is a residential complex of several buildings in Palm Jebel Ali, handover is due Q4 2029.
The developer is Nakheel.
Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedrooms.
The database currently holds 1 lot in this project, from 4 500 000 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 3%.
The first residences from the state developer on Palm Jebel Ali: three buildings with apartments, townhouses and penthouses. One-bedrooms from AED 2.5 million in the first phase.
First phase
One bedroom from 74.4 m² — AED 2.5 million (USD 681,000). Two bedrooms from 118.8 m² — AED 4.26 million. Three bedrooms from 215.6 m² — AED 7.51 million. Townhouses from 373.7 m² — AED 14.18 million. Five bedrooms from 602.5 m² — AED 17.58 million. Penthouse from 910 m² — AED 31.81 million.
Payment plan: 20% down payment, 50% during construction, 30% at handover in Q4 2029.
Second phase
The developer moved on to residences after selling out all the archipelago's villas — around two thousand of them. The second phase launched at prices above the first.
One bedroom from 76.8 m² (827 sqft) — from AED 2.7 million. Two bedrooms from 112.9 m² — from AED 4.3 million. Three bedrooms from 189.4 m² — from AED 7.5 million. Four bedrooms from 303.7 m² — from AED 12.4 million. A four-bedroom townhouse from 370.8 m² — from AED 14.9 million. A five-bedroom townhouse from 468.4 m² — from AED 18.9 million.
Amenities: a private beach, an infinity pool, beach volleyball, a padel court, a fitness studio, barbecue areas, an events lawn, a clubhouse, a games room, a lobby lounge and kids' areas. Handover on the second phase: Q3 2030.
The growth argument
At launch, the developer cited an observation: the archipelago's villas gained around AED 1 million on average over eighteen months, and a similar scenario was expected for the first apartment launches.
That's an analogy, not a calculation. Villas and apartments are different markets with different buyer pools, and carrying dynamics from one over to the other guarantees nothing.
Areas, prices, payment plans and dates for both phases, amenities line-up — launch materials from 31 October 2025 and 9 June 2026. The observation about villa price growth is the selling side's own assessment.
Where it is
The pin is placed by district — I send the exact address on request.
The final payment on this building falls in 2029 — under off-plan plans that is
40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security,
and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and
we will look at what the developer will accept.

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.
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.
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.
July 2026: 13 930 sales worth AED 34.9bn, down about 31% in number on a record July 2025. August: around 11 600 sales worth AED 27.9bn, down 37% in number and 44% in value. Where the slowdown is real, and where it is a base effect.
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.
A 1 425 m bridge across Dubai Creek will link Dubai Islands directly to Bur Dubai: four lanes each way, 16 000 vehicles an hour, 18.5 m above the water. The AED 786m contract targets completion by the end of 2026. What the bridge changes for the islands and the old city.
