Palm Central

Built by Nakheel · independent analysis by Atif Bin Arif

Nakheel's residential heart of Palm Jebel Ali — apartments, townhouses and penthouses at the centre of the palm, wrapped in a private beach, an infinity pool and a club lounge. From a 1-bed at AED 2.5M to a 31.8M penthouse, on a 20/50/30 plan to an August 2029 handover. Sizes are the developer's net (sellable) area — read straight.

The hard math

* AED/sqft on the developer’s net (sellable) area — the honest figure, with no built-up-area inflation. This is the real price per usable sqft.

What it really costs — entry unit (AED 2.5M)

Developer priceAED 2,500,000
DLD transfer fee (4%)AED 100,000
Registration & adminAED 5,250
All-in, before mortgage≈ AED 2,605,250

Budget ~4–5% over the stickerin government & registration costs alone. Add a 2% agency fee and any mortgage-arrangement costs if you finance. The "from" price is never the cheque you write.
