Dubai's top developers announce plans to collaborate and transform Palm Jebel Ali and Dubai Design District

Dubai Holding has partnered with Select Group and Emirates Strategic Investments Company LLC (ESIC) to launch major residential and hospitality developments at Palm Jebel Ali and Dubai Design District (d3). The agreement marks Dubai Holding’s first third-party land sale at Palm Jebel Ali and reflects a broader strategy to elevate Dubai’s standing as a global destination for upscale waterfront living and design-forward urban spaces.



New Waterfront Development at Palm Jebel Ali


The collaboration will bring premium residential and hospitality offerings to Palm Jebel Ali, an iconic project spanning seven islands, 16 fronds, and offering over 90 kilometers of beachfront across 13.4 kilometers of land.

The project will focus on:

• Mixed-use, walkable neighbourhoods
  
  
• Panoramic Arabian Gulf views
  
  
• Upscale hospitality and living experiences
  
  

This landmark initiative will catalyze a new growth corridor in the Jebel Ali area, building on Dubai’s vision of creating world-class coastal destinations.

“Palm Jebel Ali is an iconic development poised to elevate Dubai’s global reputation as a premier waterfront destination,” said Khalid Al Malik, CEO of Dubai Holding Real Estate speaking to local news outlet, Khaleej Times.
“By joining forces with Select Group, we are delivering on the leadership’s vision of creating a world-class coastal destination that sets new standards in luxury residential and hospitality experiences,” he added.


Vibrant Mixed-Use Project in Dubai Design District (d3)


In parallel, the partnership will also develop a major new project at Dubai Design District (d3). The upcoming development aims to create a vibrant, mixed-use community that blends:

• Culture
  
  
• Innovation
  
  
• Contemporary urban living
  
  

The area is already recognized globally as a hub for creative talent and design professionals. With views of the Dubai skyline and Burj Khalifa, d3 stands out as Dubai’s beacon for design innovation and has helped the city earn the title of UNESCO Creative City of Design, the first in the Middle East.

“We are incredibly excited about what we will be bringing to market in both Palm Jebel Ali and d3,” said Rahail Aslam, Chairman of Select Group.
“These are two unique locations that align perfectly with our brand ethos of waterfront location, quality, sophistication and long-term value creation.”



Design, Strategy, and Market Impact


Design and planning for both Palm Jebel Ali and d3 projects are currently underway. Further details — including architectural designs, construction timelines, and unit specifics — will be announced in due course.

This partnership extends Select Group’s ongoing expansion into design-led, high-impact developments that cater to:

• A new generation of global residents
  
  
• Investors seeking immersive, luxury-driven environments
  
  
• Those looking for experiences that go beyond traditional luxury
  
  

The group’s past developments include:

• The Palm, Dubai
  
  
• Peninsula in Business Bay
  
  
• Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina
  
  

These projects reflect a consistent track record of delivering premium developments with long-term investment value.
