Palm Jumeirah
LIVE THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD
Launched in 2001, Palm Jumeirah is the icon that captivated the world’s attention. The first chapter of Palm Trilogy, Palm Jumeirah is known as the eighth wonder of the world. Helping solve Dubai’s beach shortage, the island has doubled Dubai’s existing coastline and will also double the number of beachfront hotels in the city. Along with world class residences and hotels, the island features unprecedented retail, exceptional leisure and premier entertainment options. It is expected to welcome 20,000 visitors a day. A monorail, the first of its kind in the region, will transport passengers conveniently to a variety of island locations. Fast becoming a reality, Palm Jumeirah is Dubai’s celebrated landmark and international attraction.
Location:
Jumeirah, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Project Type:
Mixed-use development of commercial, retail, residential and hospitality offerings
Phases:
Handover of villas and apartments, followed by hotel construction
Completion Date:
Handover of the first phase of Palm Jumeirah began December 2006
Concept and Design
Dubai, the fastest growing tourist destination in the world, was rapidly running out of beachfront. As a way to solve this beach shortage, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, had an idea to maximise beachfront, and a sketch evolved that was an island resembling a palm tree. The ingenious design of fronds fanning outward created more beachfront than would be accommodated by a traditional, circular island. From this initial concept, the idea of Palm Jumeirah was born and engineering planning then began.
Preparation and Planning
An undertaking as phenomenal as Palm Jumeirah requires exceptional planning and world class engineering. The progress of the development was fuelled by years of research, attention to detail and a long term commitment toward success.
