📰 Is Palm Jebel Ali Set to Transform Dubai’s Waterfront with Dh750M Infrastructure Push?
Dubai’s iconic Palm Jebel Ali is moving ahead with a significant new development phase following the award of Dh750 million in infrastructure contracts to DBB Contracting. The contracts, announced by developer Nakheel, mark a major milestone in preparing the man-made island for luxury residential and tourism-focused investment by Q4 2026.
According to Nakheel, the scope of work includes developing internal roads and paved areas across Fronds A to G, installing utilities like telecom and 11kV power lines, excavation, backfilling, and rough grading for Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) transmission lines in the “spine district.”
“These agreements underline our commitment to creating a global luxury waterfront destination,” said Nakheel in a statement.
DBB Contracting, which has prior experience with Palm Jebel Ali infrastructure, will deliver the road network and all essential groundwork to support future communities on the island. With seven interconnected islands, 16 fronds, and more than 90 kilometers of beaches, Palm Jebel Ali is envisioned as Dubai’s next premiere waterfront hub.
Khalid Al Malik, CEO of Dubai Holding Real Estate, emphasized the strategic ambition behind the investment: “Palm Jebel Ali exemplifies Dubai’s vision for redefining global waterfront living through integrated, luxury lifestyle mega-projects.”
Located in Jebel Ali, this landmark project adds to Dubai’s rapidly expanding waterfront ambitions. Once completed, it is expected to attract international investors seeking beachfront property in a world-class community.
