Nakheel has announced Palm Springs, a 3.8 million square metre residential masterplan in southern Dubai, positioned alongside Palm Jebel Ali and within reach of Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Maktoum International Airport.
The development is planned to house close to 50,000 residents across 15 neighbourhoods, with two schools, a hospital, six mosques, a Country Club, a Sports Club, and a range of retail and cultural venues built into the masterplan from the outset.
“Palm Springs reflects our long-term confidence in southern Dubai and its role in the city’s future. With Palm Jebel Ali nearby, our focus is on creating a community that brings homes and supporting infrastructure together from the outset. This is how we approach Dubai’s next phase of growth: planning for generations, with lasting value at the heart of the masterplan,” Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate said in a statement.
The project has received LEED for Communities Platinum Precertification, with the masterplan incorporating water, energy, and waste infrastructure intended to reduce carbon emissions. Climate-sensitive landscaping and shaded corridors are designed to make outdoor movement practical year-round.
Approximately 593,000 square metres of open space is planned, including a central park and landscaped areas connected by more than 35 kilometres of cycling, jogging, and walking routes.
The announcement adds to a wider pattern of investment in Dubai’s southern corridor, which has gathered pace alongside the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport and the ongoing development of Expo City Dubai.
