The dreamy city of Dubai is always surprising us with new ventures. The latest project that has caught our attention is the Palm Jebel Ali site. Construction started in 2002 and ended in 2008, although the dream continues, mostly due to the projects’ enormous scope. So the relaunch of this project with surprising additions is on the cards and we can’t wait for the announcement.

The megaproject that was put on hold in 2009 will resume as the price of beachfront houses rises by 300 per cent in just two years. A project that has been abandoned since 2009 as the city sees a spike in demand for coastal homes and flats. 20 years ago, plans for the Palm Jebel Ali project called for a land parcel that was 50% bigger than the Palm Jumeirah. A long line of prospective buyers has formed since it was recently revealed that Palm Jebel Ali would be rebranded and reopened.

Leaked pictures of the interior of the newest, soon-to-open luxury hotel Atlantis the Royal on Palm Jumeirah island.

“[The building] is not just a quiet place to relax and eat fine food—it’s about experiencing something you never imagined could be. The architecture sets this up strongly with its vertical piling up of outdoor experiences in the outside spaces.”

Italian studio Stefano Boeri Architetti has adapted its Vertical Forest concept for a pair of skyscrapers in Dubai, which will be covered in thousands of trees. Revealed by Stefano Boeri Architetti yesterday at the COP27 climate change conference in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, the project comprises two tapering towers at 190 and 150 metres tall.

Together, they will integrate 2,640 trees and 27,600 shrubs on the facades, along with "a system of greenhouses and hydroponic gardens", the studio said. Hydroponic gardens are engineered to grow plants in a vertical formation using water-based, mineral nutrient solutions in place of soil.

The creators of Abu Dhabi’s jaw-dropping Zaya Nurai Island are turning their attention to new shores in Dubai. We’re already mentally checking-in to Zuha Island, a dazzling new private island resort currently under construction at the World Islands.

This is the third development to join the Dubai World Islands portfolio. The first hotel within the island archipelago, a luxurious Anantara property, opened at the end of 2021. In the coming weeks, the first hotels at The Heart of Europe will begin to welcome guests, with island staycationers first set to check-in to Côte d’Azur Monaco resort.

After being dormant for over a decade, Developer Nakheel have announced that the Palm Jebel Ali mega project in Dubai is being relaunched due to the high demand for beachfront villas and apartments.

Investors had purchased 29 properties on the partially completed artificial island before construction was put on hold in 2009 due to the global financial crash which caused property prices to fall by 60 percent.

Being that the Palm Jebel Ali is one and a half time times the size of the popular Palm Jumeirah, completing construction of the mega project could meet the city’s demand as some reports claim that up to 1,700 beach villas and 6,000 apartments could become available.
