Dubai real estate developer Nakheel has launched Palm Central Private Residences, a new resort-style residential destination on Palm Jebel Ali.
Positioned between Frond M and Frond N along the island’s central spine, the development introduces a community-oriented lifestyle concept that expands the island’s residential mix beyond beachfront villas and into its vibrant core.
Designed around wellbeing, comfort, and connection, Palm Central Private Residences will feature 212 homes spread across three mid-rise buildings offering panoramic views of the sea and Dubai skyline.
The residences include one- to five-bedroom apartments and signature penthouses with private pools, each blending generous layouts with refined interiors and a seamless indoor–outdoor aesthetic.

The development’s landscaped courtyards, wellness zones, and social lounges are designed to promote balance and belonging, establishing a new standard for resort-inspired family living in Dubai.
Khalid Al Malik, CEO of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said: “Palm Jebel Ali advances Dubai’s vision for people-centred waterfront living. With Palm Central Private Residences, we bring resort living into the everyday, creating a central neighbourhood where homes, wellness, learning, retail and worship sit within a short walk.
“This residential model complements our beachfront villas, broadens the island’s residential mix and supports a more inclusive and connected community that is calm, contemporary and distinctly Dubai.”

While the villas focus on coastal exclusivity, Palm Central offers a more connected and accessible approach to island living — blending architecture, community, and resort comfort within one destination.
As part of the wider Palm Jebel Ali master plan, the island will feature a 9,000sqm retail centre and a Friday mosque designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM).
The mosque will accommodate up to 1,000 worshippers and reinterprets traditional Islamic architecture through sculptural forms and natural light, creating a serene and contemplative space at the island’s centre.
2040 vision
Stretching 13.4km and encompassing seven interconnected islands, Palm Jebel Ali will include 16 fronds and more than 90km of beachfront.
The master plan aligns with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and Dubai Economic Agenda D33, integrating smart design, sustainable infrastructure, and walkable public spaces to create a future-focused mixed-use community that reflects Dubai’s ongoing growth and ambition.
