Nakheel began handing over 892 homes in Jebel Ali Village. The handover marks the first residents moving into the newly rebuilt neighbourhood, which sits beside Ibn Battuta Mall and spreads across 80 hectares. The development is designed for roughly 5,500 people and will include cycling routes, parks, a children’s play area and a community centre, creating a family‑friendly environment.
Town houses range from 268 to 315 square metres and come with a terrace, en‑suite bathrooms, built‑in wardrobes, a maid’s room, a laundry space and a garage sized for two cars. The villa segment offers four‑ and five‑bedroom homes, with average plot sizes of 641 sq m for four‑bedroom units and 706 sq m for five‑bedroom homes. These spacious layouts aim to preserve the area’s historic sense of community while providing modern comforts.
“The destination builds on the area's heritage while contributing to the continued evolution of Jebel Ali as a well‑connected, family‑oriented neighbourhood.” — Nakheel
Dubai’s property market showed a 2 percent annual rise in sales prices for the second quarter, though prices slipped about 4 percent from the previous quarter amid broader regional uncertainty. Cushman & Wakefield Core noted that the market has largely weathered the immediate fallout from the Iran war, keeping overall activity stable. Looking ahead, about 32,000 residential units are slated for delivery in the second half of 2026, pushing total handovers for the year to around 55,600 – the highest annual volume since 2008. More than 13,200 units were already delivered in the second quarter, indicating that the sector remains on track despite recent challenges.
