Nakheel unveils plans for The Palm, Deira
Announcing details, Sultan bin Sulayem, Executive
Chairman, Nakheel, stated that the launch of The
Palm, Deira was an instant reaction to the instructions
of HH General Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
Dubai's Crown Prince and UAE Defence Minister, who
recently ordered the quick implementation of a new
Palm Island project in Dubai due to the previous
demand from national, GCC and international investors.
"We have continued to be inundated with requests
from investors all over the world, and in response,
a new palm island - similar in shape and concept
to those currently being constructed in Jumeirah
and Jebel Ali - will be built on the Deira Corniche,
in downtown Dubai. The Palm, Deira will be the largest
of Dubai's palm-shaped islands and as the previous
two Palms, will offer, unique residential area,
with thousands of prestigious villas and townhouses
residences located on 41 fronds of the island,"
Sulayem added that the size of The Palm, Deira,
an impressive area of 80 sq. kms, is roughly equivalent
to that of Greater London and even bigger than Paris
and Manhattan, which encompasses 34 boroughs.
Approximately 1 billion cubic metres of rock and
sand quarried in the UAE will be used to build the
land mass of the island which will feature a trunk,
a crown with 41 fronds, and a surrounding crescent
that acts as a break water.
The Palm, Deira will measure 14 kilometres in length
from the land to the tip of the crescent, and 8.5
kilometres in width from crescent to crescent. The
Fronds will vary in length with a distance of between
840 and 400 metres of sea between each frond. The
crescent will run for 21 kilometres and on completion,
will be the largest in the world. The Palm, Deira
will be built in waters that are 6 metres deep,
reaching down to 22 metres below sea level.
The Palm, Deira will house approximately 8000 villas
which will be classified into three distinct styles,
comprising of Premier Villas, Grand Villas and Vista
Town Homes. Owners will also be able to choose from
a range of architectural themes at a later stage.
Complementing the villas, the island will feature
private and public beaches and marinas, shopping
and dining outlets, and several facilities for leisure,
rest and recreation."
Sultan Bin Sulayem said that all three styles of
villas will be two stories with immediate beach
access and the private pools. The plots of land
will be slightly larger than the previous Palms,
creating more landscape area.
"The Palm, Deira is a stylised evolution of
the vision that originally inspired The Palm, and
the phenomenal response that the Jumeirah and Jebel
Ali projects have gained is a clear indicator to
the future sale of these villas," he stated.
He also confirmed that just like with The Palm,
Jumeirah and The Palm, Jebel Ali, residences on
The Palm, Deira would be open to purchase by all
individuals of every nationality on a freehold basis.
At approximately half an hour's drive from Dubai
International Airport, The Palm, Deira is at a distance
of 6 kilometres from The World project and is designed
to add an extra 400 kilometres of shoreline to Dubai.
The Palm, Deira is the final chapter for an extraordinary
legend in the making, thus it is the last chance
to purchase.
