Nakheel, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has launched Palm Springs, a 3.8 million sqm master-planned residential development located next to Palm Jebel Ali in southern Dubai.

The project is designed to house nearly 50,000 residents across 15 distinct neighbourhoods. The masterplan integrates housing with social, educational, medical and recreational amenities, including two schools, a hospital and six mosques.

Situated within Dubai’s southern expansion area, the development offers direct transport connections to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Maktoum International Airport. The project forms part of wider growth in the district alongside Expo City Dubai and major airport infrastructure investments.

Palm Springs has been awarded LEED for Communities Platinum Precertification. The masterplan includes climate-sensitive infrastructure, shaded walking routes and energy, water and waste management systems designed to reduce carbon emissions. Over 593,000 sqm of open space, including a central park and landscaped areas, will feature across the development, supported by more than 35 km of dedicated cycling, jogging and walking paths.

Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said: “Palm Springs reflects our long-term confidence in southern Dubai and its role in the city’s future. With Palm Jebel Ali nearby, our focus is on creating a community that brings homes and supporting infrastructure together from the outset. This is how we approach Dubai’s next phase of growth: planning for generations, with lasting value at the heart of the masterplan.”

Community amenities planned for the site include a Country Club, a Sports Club, fitness areas, play zones, retail outlets and dedicated cultural venues with regular programming.
