Nakheel Properties
About The Nakheel Properties
Nakheel Properties was established in 2000 as part of Dubai World and rapidly rose to prominence as one of Dubai’s most ambitious real estate developers. After navigating the global financial crisis and a major debt restructuring of AED 59 billion in 2011, the company received strong government backing, including a US$898 million injection in 2013. By 2017 it had returned to profitability with a US$1 billion result and has since rebranded while reviving landmark initiatives.
Today Nakheel continues to deliver iconic master-planned communities, most notably relaunching Palm Jebel Ali with plans for 1,700 villas and 6,000 apartments, alongside the revival of Deira Islands (now Dubai Islands). For anyone looking to buy property in Dubai or invest in premium real estate Dubai, Nakheel offers a unique blend of visionary island living, proven track record, and long-term value in some of the emirate’s most recognisable locations.
