Dubai Holding Real Estate CEO Khalid Al Malik said: “Today, we proudly announce the appointment of DBB Contracting and Khansaheb Civil Engineering as our partners for the next phase of development at Palm Jebel Ali.  

“Alongside these best-in-class partners, we are not only ensuring the highest standards of urban infrastructure for our customers, but also contributing to the realisation of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan.” 

The island will serve as an additional urban centre for Dubai, becoming a residential and leisure hub near the new Expo 2020 urban centre. 

This development is in line with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, which aims to increase the length of public beaches by 400%. 

It is also in line with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and is expected to initiate a new growth corridor in the Jebel Ali area. 

This comes after Nakheel awarded iBuild Construction and United Engineering Construction the contract for the construction of Jebel Ali Village in Dubai last year.
