About Nakheel

Nakheel is the government-owned Dubai developer best known for Palm Jumeirah, the palm-shaped artificial island that became one of the most recognisable real estate projects in the world. The company specialises in large-scale waterfront and master-planned developments that have added significant coastline and residential capacity to Dubai.

Palm Jumeirah combines villas on its fronds, apartment buildings along its trunk and a crescent lined with resort hotels. Nakheel has continued to develop the island over time, adding retail and leisure destinations such as Nakheel Mall and The Pointe. The island is home to many residents as well as hotels, and it has become a benchmark address for high-end property in Dubai.

Nakheel's portfolio also includes The World, an archipelago of man-made islands off the Dubai coast, and Palm Jebel Ali, a larger palm island project that was relaunched with a new master plan. Dubai Islands, formerly known as Deira Islands, is another waterfront development off the Deira coast that includes residential, hospitality and leisure components.

On land, Nakheel has developed residential communities such as Jumeirah Village Circle and Jumeirah Village Triangle, Jumeirah Islands, Jumeirah Park and The Gardens. These communities offer a wider range of price points than its island projects and have helped meet demand from Dubai's growing resident population.

In addition to development, Nakheel runs retail, leasing and community management operations across its projects. This gives the company an ongoing role after homes are handed over, from managing shared facilities to operating malls and commercial spaces.

The company's projects are closely linked to Dubai's strategy of using ambitious real estate to attract tourism, residents and investment. Palm Jumeirah in particular helped place Dubai on the global map for luxury waterfront living.
