UAE – Mubasher: Nakheel, the development arm of Dubai Holding, has awarded contracts for the construction of infrastructure at Palm Jebel Ali.

Nakheel awarded a contract for the construction of a public access road, providing access from Sheikh Zayed Road to Palm Jebel Ali, and a construction road serving the central portion of the Palm, to DBB Contracting, according to a press release.

The new public access road, spanning nearly 6 kilometres, will offer a beautifully landscaped and convenient path leading directly to Palm Jebel Ali.

Moreover, Nakheel awarded the contract for roadway and lighting enhancements on Al Hesah Street at Dubai Waterfront, the mainland connecting Palm Jebel Ali, to Khansaheb Civil Engineering, a subsidiary of Khansaheb Group.

“This partnership reaffirms our commitment to raising the global benchmark in waterfront living, making Palm Jebel Ali a coveted address for approximately 35,000 families in the future,” Al Malik added.

Developed by Nakheel, Palm Jebel Ali is planned to offer luxury lifestyle amenities for residents, families, and visitors.
