Nakheel — who owns the best land in Dubai and why investors choose its projects
01.10.2025

Nakheel (Nahill) is not just a developer, but one of the main architects of Dubai's future. This company is behind the emirate's most recognizable symbols — Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali, Dubai Islands. When it comes to projects that shape Dubai's global image, Nakheel inevitably comes first.

Nakheel Dubai developer: a symbol of the city's ambition

The company is known as master developer, which controls strategically important lands and sets standards for the development of the metropolis.

  • Nakheel Island Dubai — these are unique bulk projects that have turned an ordinary coast into elite resort areas.
  • Palm Jumeirah has become a global symbol of luxury, home to some of the most expensive villas in Dubai.
  • Palm Jebel Ali — a large-scale project, revived in 2023, which promises to become a new point of attraction for premium investors.
  • Dubai Islands (formerly Deira Islands) is a new stage in the development of northern Dubai, with hotels, shopping malls and residential residences.

These projects have long become global benchmarks that set the trend for the real estate market throughout the Middle East.

Nakheel Dubai land and development standards

While the claim that “Nakheel owns all the land in Dubai” is exaggerated, the fact remains that the company controls a significant part of the best sites and forms the infrastructure around them.

  • Layout and infrastructure. Nakheel's projects include green spaces, modern roads and public spaces.
  • Teaming up with Meydan. Nakheel became part of Dubai Holding in March 2024, which increased the developer's resources and strategic influence.
  • Quality management. Subdivision Nakheel Community Management (NCM) became the first operator in the world to receive RERA Platinum Rating, which confirms the highest level of quality control.

Thanks to this, Nakheel properties are becoming not just residential areas, but full-fledged communities where comfort is thought out to the smallest detail.

Nakheel's best locations: why investors choose them

Many of Dubai's premium districts remain under the control of master developers like Nakheel. This is where they form best investment locations.

  • Fast demand. The launch of new projects is often accompanied by an instant sale — some buildings are sold out within a few hours.
  • Brand reputation. Investors who once bought a property on Palm Jumeirah buy Nakheel's new projects with confidence.
  • Investments in the premium segment. Nakheel's projects are among the most liquid on the market, both for resale and for rent.

Thus, investments in Nakheel projects is a strategic choice for those who want to own property on the best sites in the city.

Investing in Nakheel projects: benefits for foreign buyers

For foreign investors, buying property from Nakheel means not only access to Dubai's best addresses, but also additional benefits:

  • opportunity to obtain UAE resident visas (from 2 to 10 years depending on the amount of investment);
  • high rental profitability (in premium areas, ROI reaches 8-10% per annum);
