About Nakheel

Nakheel is the Dubai master developer behind Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali, Dubai Islands and The World. Since March 2024 it has been part of Dubai Holding, following a mandate from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and it now sits within Dubai Holding Real Estate alongside Meraas.

Palm Jumeirah, launched in 2001, is its signature: one of the world's largest man-made islands, covering 560 hectares and home to around 25,000 residents. Nakheel says its waterfront projects have added more than 300 kilometres to Dubai's original 70 kilometre coastline. On the Palm, Como Residences rises over 300 metres with just 76 homes.

Its current pipeline is just as water-led. Dubai Islands joins five islands with over 60 kilometres of waterfront, and at Palm Jebel Ali, Nakheel said in June 2026 that delivery of its ultra-luxury villas was underway, with handovers scheduled to begin later in the year. In August 2026 it began handing over 892 homes at Jebel Ali Village.
