Nakheel awards AED 810 million contract for marine works at Palm Jebel Ali
The
company will be responsible for dredging, land reclamation, beach profiling and
sand placement, directly supporting the construction of villas across all
fronds and will complete the marine works in just over two years. The first
eight fronds of the project are expected to be site-ready by Q1 2025, allowing
for the commencement of villa infrastructure and civil works.
Following
Nakheel's recent award of two major infrastructure contracts, works have also
commenced on the construction of a new public access road and to roadway and
lighting enhancements from the mainland to Palm Jebel Ali.
Revealed
by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and
Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, Palm Jebel Ali will offer an
exceptional breadth of luxury lifestyle amenities for residents, families and
visitors. Supporting the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, the project also
marks the beginning of a new growth corridor in the Jebel Ali area, underlining
the expansion of the emirate.
Khalid
Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said:
"Partnering with Jan De Nul Dredging reflects our unwavering commitment to
excellence and innovation. As Nakheel intensifies its development activity
under Dubai Holding, the expertise of Jan De Nul Dredging in marine,
civil construction and environmental projects is pivotal as we accelerate
progress on this transformational development. Aligned with the Dubai 2040
Urban Master Plan vision, Palm Jebel Ali is set to become a global destination
that will offer residents the opportunity to experience a luxurious waterfront
lifestyle with access to sweeping beachfronts and pristine waters, while
setting new standards in quality living and sustainability."
Last
year, Palm Jebel Ali launched over 700 units of its Phase 1 frond villas,
featuring eight unique styles, blending indoor and outdoor living in a serene
coastal setting. Progress on infrastructure and marine works directly supports
the delivery of these homes, scheduled for handover late 2026. The island will
span 13.4 kilometres, featuring 16 fronds and 91 kilometres of beachfront,
aligning with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan's goal of expanding
public beach access.
