  • Nakheel Begins Handover of 892 Homes at Jebel Ali Village

    Nakheel Begins Handover of 892 Homes at Jebel Ali Village

    Dubai’s master developer Nakheel has officially begun delivering 892 completed homes at Jebel Ali Village, with residents now moving into one of the emirate’s most established residential destinations following the completion of construction and essential infrastructure work.

    The 80-hectare low-density development has been designed with landscaped parks, pedestrian-friendly streets, outdoor recreation areas and interconnected green spaces. The community features walking and cycling routes, sports facilities, children’s play areas, a community pond and swimming pools integrated within each residential cluster.

    Jebel Ali Village has long held a special place in Dubai’s residential history, recognised for its strong sense of community and enduring appeal. As handovers begin, we are building on this legacy with a modern, well-connected community designed around the evolving needs of residents. This milestone marks an important step in welcoming families to a new chapter for one of Dubai’s most established residential destinations.

    Khalid Al Malik, CEO of Dubai Holding Real Estate, emphasized the project’s significance in continuing the community’s legacy while modernizing infrastructure for current resident needs.

    Additional amenities are scheduled to open as part of ongoing developments, including a community centre with retail facilities, a clubhouse, gym, padel courts and event lawns. The location provides residents with access to Sheikh Zayed Road, proximity to Ibn Battuta Mall and connectivity to Discovery Gardens Metro Station.

    The handover comes as Dubai completed 24,800 residential units during the first half of 2026, representing a 38 percent increase year-on-year. Nakheel’s delivery at Jebel Ali Village contributes to the emirate’s expanding residential inventory amid sustained market activity across multiple segments.

    With approximately 5,500 residents expected to occupy the community upon full completion, Jebel Ali Village represents a significant addition to Dubai’s family-oriented residential offerings in the Jebel Ali corridor, an area that has seen substantial infrastructure investment and continued developer interest throughout 2026.

  • Dubai Holding Launches Golden Visa Service at Sales Centres

    Dubai Holding Launches Golden Visa Service at Sales Centres

    Dubai Holding Real Estate announced on Monday that it has introduced a dedicated Golden Visa and investor residency facilitation service at the Meraas and Nakheel sales centre, creating a more seamless journey for eligible property investors purchasing across its portfolio.

    The service brings residency guidance directly into the property sales journey, enabling customers to receive in-person support on eligibility, documentation and application requirements at the same destination where they select their home. Applications will be handled by an accredited visa service provider, with Meraas and Nakheel acting strictly as facilitators.

    Coverage and Eligibility

    Dubai Holding’s new Golden Visa facilitation service covers key residency pathways available to property investors, including the 10-year UAE Golden Visa for eligible real estate investors owning property or a group of properties valued at AED 2 million or more, subject to applicable conditions and approval by the relevant authorities.

    It also supports customers seeking investor residency options available to property owners in Dubai. By integrating visa facilitation into the sales centre experience, the initiative creates a more seamless ownership journey for investors at a key decision-making moment. This will also be applicable to existing customers.

    The service is designed to provide clearer guidance, support sales teams and brokers through a more coordinated process and strengthen the end-to-end ownership journey across the company’s portfolio.

    Strategic Alignment

    The initiative supports Dubai’s wider ambition to be the world’s leading destination for investors, residents and talent. It also aligns with the Dubai Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033, which aims to increase homeownership rates to 33 percent, double the real estate sector’s contribution to Dubai’s GDP to approximately AED73 billion and grow real estate transactions by 70 percent.

    “Dubai is one of the world’s most attractive destinations to live, invest and build a future. By integrating the Golden Visa and investor residency process into the property ownership journey, we are empowering our customers with greater clarity and confidence as they choose their home. This service reflects our commitment to making the ownership experience across our portfolio simpler, more seamless and aligned with the long-term opportunities Dubai offers,” said Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Holding Real Estate.

    The UAE’s Golden Visa offers long-term renewable residency for eligible applicants and allows holders to sponsor family members, subject to approval by the relevant authorities. According to the Dubai Land Department, eligible real estate investors owning property valued at AED 2 million or more can apply for a 10-year renewable residence permit.

    The service operates strictly on a facilitation basis, connecting customers with accredited residency specialists. All eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, government fees and approvals are determined by the relevant UAE authorities.

    The move comes as Dubai registers record project launches worth over AED275 billion in the first half of 2026, with developers expanding initiatives to attract both local and international buyers. The integration of residency services into sales processes reflects the emirate’s growing focus on supporting homeownership accessibility across multiple touchpoints.

    Dubai Holding Real Estate has integrated residency services into the property purchase journey at its Meraas and Nakheel sales centres, offering customers immediate support on Golden Visa eligibility, required documents, and application procedures at the same location where they select their homes.

    Applications will be processed by an approved visa services provider, while Nakheel and Meraas will provide guidance and support without directly issuing visas, according to Al Khaleej Arabic daily.

    The service covers key residency options available to property investors, including the UAE’s 10-year Golden Visa for eligible real estate investors who own one or more properties worth at least Dh2 million, subject to applicable conditions and approval by the relevant authorities.

    “By integrating the Golden Visa and investor residency process into the property ownership journey, we are empowering our customers with greater clarity and confidence as they choose their homes,” said Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate.

    Dubai Holding Real Estate confirmed the initiative also applies to existing customers and is designed to provide clearer guidance, help sales teams and brokers follow a more consistent process, and improve the end-to-end ownership experience across the company’s portfolio.

It also aligns with the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, which aims to raise home ownership to 33 per cent, double the real estate sector’s contribution to Dubai’s GDP to about Dh73 billion, and increase real estate transactions by 70 per cent.

    The streamlined service comes as Dubai’s property market continues to attract strong investor interest, with the emirate projected to attract over AED1 trillion in new real estate projects over the next five years, driven by foreign investment inflows and a steady pipeline of mega-developments.

    By reducing administrative friction and consolidating services, Dubai Holding Real Estate aims to make ownership across its portfolio simpler and more closely aligned with the long-term opportunities Dubai offers to international investors and residents.

  • Nakheel Releases 222 Beachfront Homes on Palm Jebel Ali

    Nakheel Releases 222 Beachfront Homes on Palm Jebel Ali

    The new release comprises homes across three low- to mid-rise residential buildings, including one- to four-bedroom apartments and four- to five-bedroom townhouses. All units will have direct beach access, with selected duplex residences featuring double-height living areas and large terraces.

    Residents will have access to amenities such as a fitness centre, games room, children’s club, swimming pools, landscaped outdoor spaces, and sports courts. As part of the wider masterplan, Palm Jebel Ali will include a 9,000-square-metre retail centre and the Palm Jebel Ali Friday Mosque, which will accommodate up to 1,000 worshippers.

    Spanning 13.4 kilometres, Palm Jebel Ali consists of seven interconnected islands and over 90 kilometres of coastline. The development is part of Dubai’s long-term urban expansion plans under the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.

    “This next phase of Palm Central Private Residences builds on that momentum, offering a new benchmark for beachfront living while reinforcing our commitment to shaping world-class communities that contribute meaningfully to Dubai’s future growth,” said Khalid Al Malik, CEO of Dubai Holding Real Estate.

    Al Malik said demand for Palm Jebel Ali reflects continued investor confidence in Dubai’s property market and the emirate’s long-term growth prospects.

    The latest release comes as Palm Jebel Ali prepares for first handovers later this year, with construction advancing across key residential areas following more than Dh8.5 billion in contracts awarded since 2024. The project aligns with broader market momentum, as Dubai’s property sector is projected to attract over $272 billion in new developments over the next five years.

  • Palm Jebel Ali Villas Set for First Handovers in 2026

    Palm Jebel Ali Villas Set for First Handovers in 2026

    Construction activity is progressing steadily across Palm Jebel Ali’s residential communities, with the island’s first villa handovers on track to begin before the end of 2026, according to Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate.

    “Today, there is real momentum on the ground across infrastructure, utilities, access roads, and the first residential communities, laying the foundations for what will become one of Dubai’s most significant waterfront destinations,” Al Malik told Gulf News in an exclusive interview on June 16, 2026.

    Dh8.5 Billion in Construction Contracts

    Nakheel awarded Dh5 billion in contracts in 2024 to Ginco General Contracting, Shapoorji Pallonji Mideast and UNEC for the construction of 723 Beach and Coral Collection villas across Fronds K to P, along with supporting infrastructure and public spaces. In April 2026, the developer awarded additional contracts worth more than Dh3.5 billion for villas across Fronds A to F.

    “These milestones reflect a clear commitment to delivering Palm Jebel Ali with the scale, quality and infrastructure readiness expected of a destination of this significance,” Al Malik said.

    Phased Delivery Strategy

    The island will not open on a single handover date, with Palm Jebel Ali set to come to life in phases as construction advances across different sections. Al Malik confirmed that the project’s immediate priority is the first residential phases and the infrastructure required to support them.

    “The priority is not simply speed. It is quality, infrastructure readiness, customer experience and long-term value. Palm Jebel Ali is being developed as a destination that will serve Dubai for generations.”

    Future milestones will be announced once each phase is approved and reaches the appropriate stage of readiness, he added.

    Master-Planned Destination

    Palm Jebel Ali is being developed as a comprehensive waterfront destination combining residential, hospitality, leisure, wellness, and community infrastructure. More than 80 hotels and resorts are expected to form part of the wider masterplan, alongside beach clubs, dining venues, civic infrastructure, and public spaces.

    The masterplan already includes Palm Central Private Residences and the Palm Jebel Ali Friday Mosque, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, which will serve as a cultural and architectural landmark for the island.

    International architectural firms including NAGA, LOCI, WATG, LW Design, SAOTA and Whitespace have been engaged to design the Beach and Coral Collection villas, with each collection centered around space, light, privacy, waterfront views and coastal environment integration.

    Strategic Location Advantage

    Al Malik emphasized that Palm Jebel Ali’s position is strengthened by its connection to Dubai’s future growth corridor, including Expo City Dubai and Al Maktoum International Airport.

    “It offers waterfront living on a scale difficult to find elsewhere in the region, while remaining connected to Dubai’s future growth corridor,” he stated.

    Strong Buyer Demand

    Buyer appetite for Palm Jebel Ali’s residential releases has been robust, particularly among those seeking waterfront homes with privacy, scale and long-term value. The project is attracting buyers who view Dubai as a base for family life, wealth preservation and long-term investment.

    “What makes the proposition compelling is its rarity,” Al Malik explained. “Palm Jebel Ali offers new coastal supply at a scale that is extremely difficult to replicate, within one of Dubai’s most important future growth corridors.”

    The demand reflects a wider shift in Dubai’s property market, where buyers are increasingly seeking larger homes, wellness-led communities, access to nature and master-planned destinations.

    According to Al Malik, three elements will define Palm Jebel Ali’s next phase: delivery momentum with major infrastructure advancing, the scale and quality of the integrated waterfront community, and the island’s character shaped by integrated mobility, walkable neighborhoods, and community-led planning.

    “Over time, people should expect to see more detail around hospitality, public realm, mobility, landscape, art and community amenities,” Al Malik said. “These are the elements that will define Palm Jebel Ali as a destination with its own rhythm, community and identity, one that people will feel proud to call home.”

  • Meraas Awards Dh2.4 Billion Contracts for 557 Dubailand Villas

    Dubai Holding Real Estate’s flagship developer Meraas has committed Dh2.4 billion to expand its villa communities in Dubailand, awarding major construction contracts as demand for spacious homes maintains momentum across the emirate.

    The contracts, split between United Engineering Construction (UNEC) and GCC Contracting, will deliver a combined 557 villas ranging from three to seven bedrooms across The Acres and The Acres Estates developments.

    UNEC will construct 371 villas at The Acres, featuring three- to five-bedroom homes alongside community infrastructure including roads, utilities and shared amenities. GCC Contracting will handle The Acres Estates, positioned as the more exclusive offering with 186 larger homes spanning five to seven bedrooms.

    “This award reflects both the strength of demand for premium villa communities in Dubai and our continued investment in meeting that demand with quality and distinction,” said Khalid Al Malik, CEO of Dubai Holding Real Estate.

    The developments are designed around nature-focused living, with The Acres centered on Halo Loop Park—a landscaped green space serving as the community anchor. The Acres Estates elevates the concept with larger plots, exclusive architectural designs, and premium features including landscaped waterfront areas and swimmable lagoons.

    “We are focused on efficient execution and maintaining the highest construction standards throughout the project lifecycle,” said Eng. Abdul Halim Muwahid, Chairman of UNEC. Bipin Chandran, CEO of GCC Contracting, described The Acres Estates as “a high-specification residential development” requiring “precision and technical expertise.”

    Located in Dubailand with connectivity through Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and Emirates Road, the communities offer proximity to Global Village, Dubai Polo and Equestrian Club, and Hamdan Sports Complex—factors developers say enhance long-term appeal for residents and investors.

    The contracts represent a significant addition to Dubai’s villa pipeline as the emirate’s property market recorded over Dh180 billion in transactions during Q1 2026. The expansion aligns with broader market trends, with luxury home prices jumping 25% in 2025 as Dubai strengthens its position as a global wealth destination.
