Dubai is set to get a new residential community for almost 50,000 people, with plans for two schools, a hospital, parks and sports facilities near Palm Jebel Ali.
Palm Springs
Nakheel, part of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has unveiled Palm Springs, a 3.8 million sq m residential masterplan in southern Dubai.
The development will comprise 15 neighbourhoods, bringing homes and essential community facilities together in one destination.
The masterplan includes two schools, a hospital and six mosques, alongside retail destinations, cultural venues and leisure facilities.
Parks and 35km of cycling and walking routes
Palm Springs will feature approximately 593,000 sq m of planned open space, including a central park and landscaped areas.
More than 35km of cycling, jogging and walking routes are also planned to connect residential neighbourhoods with parks, shops and leisure destinations.
Residents will also have access to planned Country Club and Sports Club facilities, as well as fitness and recreational spaces.
Sustainable development near Palm Jebel Ali
The community has received LEED for Communities Platinum Precertification, recognising its planned approach to sustainability and environmental performance.
Its design includes water, energy and waste management solutions, climate-sensitive infrastructure and shaded outdoor corridors.
The development is also planned with connections to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Maktoum International Airport.
Southern Dubai’s residential growth
Palm Springs is part of the wider development activity taking place in southern Dubai, supported by investment in Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City Dubai.
Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said: “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.”
