Dubai-based master developer Nakheel has shared a new vision for the Dubai Islands, showing how unique, sustainable cities can be built on water. Five islands in Dubai, covering a total area of 17 square kilometres, are designed to improve the lives of everyone living and visiting there.
Respecting the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, Dubai Islands (formerly Deira Islands) will boost Dubai’s reputation worldwide among people living, visiting, and investing there. Each island will be unique, providing innovative living, critical cultural centres, exciting sports beaches and beach clubs, all linked in the same area close to the city and airport.
Beaches expanding over an area of 20 kilometres, a Blue Flag certified beach, almost 2 square km of parks and golf courses facing the Arabian Gulf, Dubai Islands projects by Nakheel will offer more beaches and parks for everyone to enjoy. Having an extensive network of marinas, promenades along the water, and walkable and bikeable ways is very important for the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan.

Effects on the Market and Growth Potential
Nakheel projects are located in strategic locations to ensure that investors are in a prime position to appreciate their capital as well as enjoy a modern luxurious lifestyle, and most especially, its waterfront developments are in high demand as more people are preferring to live near the coast.
These properties have a high investment appeal due to the prime waterfront locations, top-of-the-world amenities with private beaches, marinas, and beach clubs, and innovative city planning that accommodates abundant green spaces and walkable neighborhoods.
In addition, the focus of Nakheel on sustainability, represented in the green building standards and use of energy efficient technologies contributes substantially to the long-term value and appeal to environmentally conscious investors, which, when pooled with other factors, attracts investors interested in long-term assets growth and high-quality living experience in the active real estate market of Dubai.
