- Approximately AED 63,000,000 for 33,796 sqft, Frond P (Property Finder, AED 1,864 per sqft)

- AED 64,750,000 for 25,656 sqft, Frond N (Dubizzle, AED 2,525 per sqft, sea view)
At AED 2,203 per sqft, this listing is above both Frond P comps (AED 1,833 and AED 1,864) but below Frond L (AED 2,302) and Frond N (AED 2,525). The wide pricing range reflects differences in plot position on the frond (base vs tip), orientation (sunrise vs sunset), and frond priority in the development timeline. A Frond P plot at AED 1,833 per sqft is AED 14,800,000 cheaper than this listing, though plot sizes differ (22,911 vs 25,781 sqft).
Frond P Positioning
Palm Jebel Ali has 16 fronds lettered A through P. Frond P is the outermost frond. The first 8 fronds (A-H) are being prioritised for infrastructure, with construction contracts already awarded for Fronds A to F. Frond P, being one of the last, is likely in a later development phase. This means:
- Infrastructure completion on Frond P may be after the 2026 target for the first 8 fronds
- Villa construction on Frond P will follow, potentially not until 2028 or later
- The buyer may hold an undeveloped plot for several years before they can build
This timeline risk is a factor in the pricing and may explain why Frond P plots trade at lower per-sqft rates than Fronds L and N.
About Palm Jebel Ali
Nakheel's second palm island, originally master-planned in the 2000s and shelved during the 2008 financial crisis. Relaunched circa 2023-2024 by Nakheel (now part of Dubai Holding). Land reclamation is complete. Infrastructure contracts worth AED 750,000,000 cover roads, utilities and power. 16 fronds (A through P). Product offerings include Premium Plot Collection (bare plots), Beach Collection (developer-built beachfront villas) and Coral Collection (developer-built lagoon villas). First villa handovers expected Q3 to Q4 2027. Full island buildout extends into the 2030s. Freehold ownership.
Development Cost Estimate
The buyer purchases bare land and manages their own villa construction. Estimated additional costs:
- Villa design and approvals: AED 500,000 to AED 1,500,000
- Construction (high-end finish, 10,000 to 15,000 sqft BUA): AED 4,000,000 to AED 12,000,000
- Landscaping and pool: AED 500,000 to AED 2,000,000
- Total development budget: AED 5,000,000 to AED 15,500,000
- All-in cost (plot plus build): AED 61,800,000 to AED 72,300,000
These are rough estimates. Actual costs depend on villa size, finish quality, market conditions and construction timelines.
Verification Notes
The plot size, OP, selling price and Frond P location are from the agent brief. The 9.1% discount (AED 5,700,000) is arithmetically verified. Palm Jebel Ali is confirmed as a Nakheel development with freehold tenure. The OP of AED 62,500,000 (AED 2,424 per sqft) is within the range of comparable Frond N listings. Active Frond P listings show lower per-sqft rates (AED 1,833 to AED 1,864), suggesting this listing is at the upper end for its frond. The difference may reflect plot position on the frond. Frond P is one of the outer fronds with a potentially longer development timeline than Fronds A through H.
