As 2026 winds down, a new launch beside Palm Jebel Ali is drawing attention. On November 10, 2026, Nakheel unveiled Palm Springs, a 3.8 million sq m community planned for nearly 50,000 residents.
To find out what’s behind the buzz, we took a closer look at the investment case for Palm Springs. This guide covers pricing, the payment plan, what the location beside Palm Jebel Ali offers, and how Palm Springs compares with other villa and townhouse communities in Dubai.
What is Palm Springs by Nakheel?
Palm Springs is a residential masterplan by Nakheel, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate, covering 3.8 million sq m next to Palm Jebel Ali in southern Dubai.
The Dubai Media Office announcement describes a community for almost 50,000 residents, with homes, education, healthcare, sport and leisure spread across 15 neighbourhoods. These homes will be a mix of villas, townhouses and apartments.
You can book the project with just a 10% down payment. To find the full payment plan, visit our Palm Springs launch page. You can also compare Palm Springs with other launches by browsing our new off-plan projects.
Where Is Palm Springs in Dubai?
Nakheel highlights connections to Sheikh Zayed Road and lists Al Maktoum International Airport at approximately 23 minutes from Palm Springs. The airport already handles scheduled passenger flights, seasonal charters, cargo and general aviation, with a major expansion planned.
Nearby Palm Jebel Ali reached a construction milestone in April 2026, when Nakheel awarded contracts worth more than AED 3.5 billion to build 544 villas. In August 2026, the developer also began handing over 892 villas and townhouses at the redeveloped Jebel Ali Village near Ibn Battuta Mall.
On November 10, 2026, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, approved an AED 2 billion extension of Dubai Metro’s Route 2020 to Al Maktoum International Airport City. The 3 km extension will add two stations, with service scheduled to begin in 2031.
The extension improves planned connectivity to the airport district. A Metro station at Palm Springs has yet to be announced. For more on how Dubai is expanding, see our guide to new communities in Dubai.
Community Plan: Schools, Hospital, Clubs and Trails
The masterplan is built around daily needs as well as housing. Palm Springs is planned across 15 neighbourhoods, with two schools, a hospital and around 593,000 sq m of open space.
Canyon Park will form the central green corridor, while more than 35 km of walking, jogging and cycling routes are planned to connect neighbourhoods with parks, shops and leisure facilities. The wider plan includes apartments alongside villas and townhouses. Nakheel brochure via the launch page.
Palm Springs is Nakheel’s first community to receive LEED for Communities Platinum Precertification. Its master plan includes shaded routes, climate-responsive landscaping and community-wide measures for water, energy and waste.

Why Invest in Palm Springs by Nakheel?
The investment case for Palm Springs comes down to what buyers get beyond the home itself. Nakheel’s delivery record in Jebel Ali, a master plan built around Canyon Park, and space for everyday services give buyers concrete reasons to shortlist the community.
- A developer with a local delivery record. Nakheel began handing over 892 homes at Jebel Ali Village in 2026, giving buyers a recent example of its work in the same part of Dubai.
- A park that can make a difference to your plot choice. Canyon Park runs through the community, with more than 35 km of walking, jogging, and cycling routes planned across the wider development. Buyers can compare plots by how easily they connect to the park and trails.
- A sustainability first for Nakheel. Palm Springs is the developer’s first community to receive LEED for Communities Platinum Precertification. For residents, the plans translate into shaded routes, landscaping designed for Dubai’s climate, and measures to improve water and energy efficiency.
- Everyday services within the master plan. With two schools and a hospital planned across 15 neighbourhoods, families can factor proximity to education and healthcare into their home search. The opening dates are worth checking alongside the home’s handover timeline.
- A more accessible entry point near Palm Jebel Ali. For buyers drawn to the area, Palm Springs offers the option of a three-bedroom townhouse in a Nakheel community on the mainland. It’s worth shortlisting if you want to stay close to Palm Jebel Ali with a lower purchase budget.
