The Palm, Jebel Ali is located 20 km outside Dubai, in the direction of Abu Dhabi. Fifty percent larger than Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali will be a dynamic destination for those looking for the exclusivity of Palm Island, but with even more access to the marine environment. The completion date is estimated to be around the first quarter of 2009.
Like The Palm Jumeirah, The Palm Jebel Ali is based on the shape of a palm tree, with a ‘trunk’, 17 ‘fronds’ and a ‘crescent’ forming the breakwater. The Trunk will become the Las Vegas of Dubai. It was created with a vision of becoming an unparalleled getaway and nightlife destination for residents and visitors alike, with an array of luxury themed hotels, entertainment centres, restaurants, clubs and shopping centres.
The developers have decided to keep the same specifications for Signature Villas, Garden Villas and Town Homes on The Palm Jebel Ali as exist on The Palm Jumeirah. However, their disposition will be different on Palm Jebel Ali, and the fronds will start with the town homes, followed by the garden homes and then at the end of the fronds and at the best location the signature villas will emerge.
Moreover, The Palm Jebel Ali will comprise water homes built on stilts that spell a poem written by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum the ruler of Dubai. The apartments will be built on the crescent.
It will take another 2 years for the owners to move on Palm Jebel Ali. Nevertheless, the demand and the prices have gone up tremendously in the last month. All villas and water homes have been sold out a long time ago and the resale market is already booming. A lot of interested people, who missed out the opportunity to buy on The Palm Jumeirah, are trying to purchase on Palm Jebel Ali.
