Palm Central Residences Frond N: Apartments and Townhouses on Palm Jebel Ali
Nakheel is the developer behind Palm Central Residences on Palm Jebel Ali in southwest Dubai. Frond N is the project's designation within the Palm Central Private Residences section of the island. The project offers apartments ranging from 1-bedroom to 4-bedroom, alongside 4-bedroom townhouses. Construction starts in August 2026, with handover targeted for December 2030.
A Southwest Dubai Island Address
Palm Jebel Ali is a large artificial island off the southwestern coast of Dubai. The drive to Dubai Marina takes roughly 20 to 25 minutes by road. Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport are typically 40 to 50 minutes away.
The island setting is the primary draw. Residents reach the rest of the city by car. Buyers here are choosing a waterfront island address over proximity to Dubai's main employment hubs. That is the deliberate trade-off the location represents, and the pricing reflects it.
AED 2.7M to AED 14.9M: Two Product Types Behind One Range
The price spread exists because this project includes both apartments and townhouses across multiple bedroom counts.
| Unit Type | Configuration | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|
| Apartment | 1-bedroom | AED 2,700,000 |
| Apartment | 2-bedroom | AED 4,300,000 |
| Apartment | 1-bedroom + Maid | AED 4,900,000 |
| Apartment | 3-bedroom | AED 7,500,000 |
| Apartment | 4-bedroom | AED 12,400,000 |
| Townhouse | 4-bedroom | AED 14,900,000 |
The AED 2.7M 1-bedroom apartment is the entry point. The 2-bedroom at AED 4.3M and the 3-bedroom at AED 7.5M serve buyers who need more living space. The 4-bedroom apartment at AED 12.4M sits at the top of the apartment range.
The 4-bedroom townhouse at AED 14.9M carries a AED 2.5M premium over the 4-bedroom apartment. That gap reflects the product difference: a townhouse is a separate property type with its own footprint, not a higher floor in the same building.
The 1+Maid layout at AED 4.9M sits between the 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom price points. The additional room suits residents who need dedicated space for domestic help or a home office.
The 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments are the more accessible price points within the project. The 3-bedroom and above serve larger households or buyers wanting considerably more living space.
Amenities for Residents, Not Guests
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor & Leisure | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| On-site Services | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Six amenities focused on everyday use. The indoor pool works year-round without Dubai's summer heat limiting access. The children's play area and landscaped gardens point to a development aimed at families and long-term residents rather than transient guests. On-site dining reduces dependence on driving off the island for daily meals.
The amenity set is practical and residential. A gymnasium and indoor pool together cover the core fitness needs of a working household. This is not a resort-scale package, and the project is not positioned as one.
Four Years Off-Plan
Construction launches in August 2026. Handover is December 2030. From booking to possession is a four-year off-plan period.
Capital is deployed from day one through the construction payment schedule. The unit is unavailable to occupy or lease until December 2030. Buyers entering now are at the very start of the build cycle.
Getting In at 20%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Booking | 20% |
| During Construction | 50% |
| Handover | 30% |
The 20% down payment secures the booking. The 50% during-construction component spreads across the four-year build period. The 30% balance is due at handover in December 2030.
The 20% entry is standard for off-plan launches by major Dubai developers. The construction-period payments accumulate over four years rather than being front-loaded. The 30% at handover falls on a fixed date. For buyers using mortgage finance, the full balance clears at the December 2030 handover.
