Branching Out

Ask anyone what image immediately comes to mind when they think of Dubai and the chances are Palm Jumeirah will be at the top of their list. We find out more about the Palm Tower Residences, Nakheel’s latest addition to this ever-evolving, stunning destination

Residents of The Palm Tower will enjoy the very best of the high life, be it inside or outside their apartment, at ground level or 240 metres up.

This award-winning, globally-recognised symbol of Dubai’s energy, growth and ambition is one of the world’s most sought-after places to live, work and visit. Spanning 560 hectares – enough to house 600 international football pitches – Palm Jumeirah is one of the largest manmade islands on the planet, and a vibrant, evergrowing residential, tourism and leisure destination. Palm Jumeirah is a landmark in engineering, with a growing number of luxury residences and retail, hospitality and leisure facilities that provide accommodation, entertainment and amenities for 78,000 residents and the millions of tourists who visit each year.

The master developer behind Palm Jumeirah is Nakheel, which was appointed in 2001 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, under his vision to turn Dubai into a world-class hub for investment, living, business and tourism. The goal was to double the coastline of Dubai by adding 78 km of beachfront to the city’s original coastline, paving the way for the development of hundreds of seafront homes, resorts, hotel and attractions.
