Nakheel, a subsidiary of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has awarded infrastructure contracts worth over AED750 million to DBB Contracting LLC for Palm Jebel Ali, a flagship waterfront development in Dubai.
The works are set for completion in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The contracts cover key infrastructure elements across Fronds A to G and the Spine District, including utility connections, road and pavement construction, excavation, power distribution, telecoms, and grading for DEWA’s power transmission line. This extensive groundwork aims to support the next phase of development on the 13.4-kilometre-long island, which will feature 16 fronds and more than 90 kilometres of beachfront.
Palm Jebel Ali was unveiled by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum as part of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, and is central to the emirate’s long-term urban expansion, particularly in the Jebel Ali growth corridor. The development aligns with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, which includes increasing public beach access and promoting sustainable, smart urban communities.
Khalid Al Malik, CEO of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said the project reflects Dubai’s ambition to set a new global standard for luxury waterfront living.
“Palm Jebel Ali is poised to transform the city’s urban landscape and attract residents, tourists and investors,”
he said.
DBB Contracting, which has previously contributed to infrastructure work on the island, expressed pride in continuing its role in the transformative project. General Manager Eugene Terreblanche reaffirmed the company’s commitment to quality and innovation in delivering the development.
Once complete, Palm Jebel Ali will offer vibrant, mixed-use neighbourhoods, state-of-the-art mobility solutions, and a range of lifestyle amenities, solidifying its place as a cornerstone of Dubai’s future growth.
