Nakheel has awarded contracts worth over Dh3.5 billion to Ginco General Contracting and UNEC for 544 villas on Palm Jebel Ali, with construction starting this quarter and completion scheduled for Q4 2028.
Nakheel has awarded contracts exceeding Dh3.5 billion to two UAE-based contractors for the construction of 544 villas on Palm Jebel Ali, according to official disclosures. Ginco General Contracting L.L.C will build 354 villas across Fronds A to D, while United Engineering Construction (UNEC) will deliver 190 villas on Fronds E and F. Construction is set to begin this quarter, with targeted completion in the fourth quarter of 2028.
This development matters because Palm Jebel Ali represents one of the largest expansions of Dubai’s urban coastline in a generation, aligning with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. The villas feature ten architectural typologies designed for waterfront maximization, incorporating smart-home features and sustainability-focused elements.
The project supports Dubai’s long-term growth by expanding residential, investment, and lifestyle offerings along the southern coastline. Industries impacted include residential real estate development, construction contracting, and smart-home technology integration.
Regional stakeholders include UAE-based construction firms, international real estate investors, and luxury homebuyers.
For investors and contractors, the split award across six fronds signals continued momentum and de-risks delivery through multiple established local partners. The four-year construction timeline (2025–2028) suggests phased handovers, with potential for subsequent infrastructure and retail contract awards as the community matures.
Nakheel is a Dubai-based master developer responsible for major waterfront projects including the original Palm Jumeirah. Palm Jebel Ali is a man-made island development that forms part of Dubai’s coastal expansion strategy.
