Nakheel, part of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has announced the launch of Palm Central Private Residences, a new development on Palm Jebel Ali aimed at advancing the island’s resort-style residential offering. The project is located along the island’s central spine between Fronds M and N and represents a shift toward community-focused living within one of Dubai’s most prominent coastal destinations.

The development comprises 212 residences across three mid-rise buildings, including one- to five-bedroom apartments and signature penthouses with private pools. Each unit is designed to emphasize space, natural light and the integration of indoor and outdoor living. Residents will have access to landscaped courtyards, wellness areas and communal lounges intended to balance privacy and social connection.

“Palm Jebel Ali advances Dubai’s vision for people-centred waterfront living,” said Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate. “With Palm Central Private Residences, we bring resort living into the everyday, creating a central neighbourhood where homes, wellness, learning, retail and worship sit within a short walk.”

Palm Central Private Residences follows the earlier release of the Palm Jebel Ali Beach and Coral Collection villas, designed in collaboration with international architects. While those projects emphasize exclusive coastal living, the new residences extend the island’s appeal through a more connected and accessible community layout.

The wider Palm Jebel Ali development includes plans for a 9,000-square-meter retail center and a mosque designed by architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The mosque, accommodating up to 1,000 worshippers, features contemporary design elements that reinterpret traditional Islamic architecture with a focus on light and reflection.

Spanning 13.4 kilometers and encompassing seven interconnected islands, Palm Jebel Ali includes 16 fronds and over 90 kilometers of coastline. The project aligns with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, incorporating sustainable design principles and walkable spaces to foster a modern, mixed-use community.
