Palm Central Private Residences Phase 2: Nakheel Builds Out the New Palm
Palm Central Private Residences Phase 2 is Nakheel's latest residential offering on Palm Jebel Ali. The project brings together apartments and townhouses spanning AED 2.7M to AED 18.9M, with construction starting in June 2026 and handover expected in September 2030.
Palm Jebel Ali: The Second Palm, Further Southwest
Palm Jebel Ali is the second of Dubai's palm islands, sitting roughly 30 km southwest of the city center along the Jebel Ali corridor. The area lies between Dubai Marina to the northeast and the Al Maktoum International Airport zone to the south.
In practical terms, residents here are around 20 to 25 minutes by car from Dubai Marina and significantly further from Downtown Dubai and the DIFC. This is not a district with walkable urban density. It is a planned waterfront community built on reclaimed land, and private transport is the daily assumption.
The airport proximity shapes the long-term investment argument for buyers focused on the southwest corridor's infrastructure development.
AED 2.7M to AED 18.9M: Two Products, One Range
The price spread reflects two distinct property types. Apartments cover one to three bedrooms. Townhouses are four and five bedrooms. These serve different buyers.
| Type | Bedrooms | Size | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apartment | 1 | 827 sq ft | AED 2,700,000 |
| Apartment | 2 | 1,215–1,466 sq ft | AED 4,300,000 |
| Apartment | 3 | 2,039 sq ft | AED 7,500,000 |
| Townhouse | 4 | 3,269–3,990 sq ft | AED 12,400,000 |
| Townhouse | 5 | 5,041 sq ft | AED 18,900,000 |
The one-bedroom at AED 2.7M is the project's entry point. For buyers wanting a palm island address at the lowest available price, this is where the door opens. The two-bedroom at AED 4.3M is the natural step up and the most flexible format for both investors and end-users. The three-bedroom at AED 7.5M across 2,039 sq ft moves into territory where owner-occupation becomes the more obvious use case.
The townhouses operate as a separate product. Four-bedroom townhouses from AED 12.4M cover 3,269 to 3,990 sq ft across two layout types. The five-bedroom at AED 18.9M and 5,041 sq ft is the project's top offering, aimed at buyers treating Palm Jebel Ali as a long-term family base.
What the Amenity Set Says
| Category | Amenity |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium, Tennis Courts, Yoga Room |
| Water | Infinity Pool |
| Lifestyle | Golf Club and Clubhouse, Barbecue Area |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
The Golf Club and Clubhouse is the most notable entry on this list. Including a golf facility signals that Nakheel is targeting a resident profile who expects amenities at a resort level rather than a standard gym-and-pool setup. The Infinity Pool, Tennis Courts, and Yoga Room together form a fitness cluster that covers daily routines without requiring residents to leave the community.
The Children's Play Area alongside the townhouse mix confirms the project expects genuine family occupancy. The amenity set as a whole tilts toward owner-occupiers and long-stay residents.
Four Years to Handover
Construction started on 8 June 2026, with expected completion by 30 September 2030. Off-plan buyers entering now are at the project's earliest stage, with roughly four years until handover and the widest unit selection available at this point in the sales cycle.
Getting In at 20%
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 40% |
| Handover | 40% |
A 20% down payment is in line with the standard for Dubai's off-plan market. The remaining balance splits evenly between construction-phase installments and handover. The 40% due at handover is the largest single payment event in the schedule, falling in September 2030.
There is no post-handover plan. The full purchase price is settled at keys.
