The pre-launch phase of Palm Central by Nakheel has officially begun — marking one of the most anticipated new developments on Palm Jebel Ali. Early investors can now secure their opportunity with an Expression of Interest (EOI) of AED 200,000 (≈ USD 54,500).
This exclusive pre-launch window grants priority access to select beachfront residences before the public sales release, giving investors the advantage of early selection and stronger capital appreciation potential.

What Is an EOI in Dubai Real Estate?
EOI stands for Expression of Interest. It’s a fully refundable deposit that shows a buyer’s serious intent to purchase a unit in an upcoming project. Submitting an EOI does not lock the buyer into a contract—it simply reserves the right to choose a unit during the official sales launch.
How it works:
- Buyer submits AED 200,000 (USD 54,500) to register interest.
- When the project is officially launched, EOI holders get early priority for unit selection.
- If the buyer decides not to proceed, the EOI is refunded in full.
- If the buyer proceeds, the EOI amount is deducted from the booking payment.
This system is widely used in Dubai for high-demand projects, especially in ultra-luxury launches like Palm Central, to ensure serious investors have the first right of selection.
Escrow Account — How Buyers Are Protected
Dubai’s property market operates under strict regulatory frameworks. One of the key protections for off-plan buyers is the Escrow Account System, managed under Dubai Land Department (DLD).
When you invest in Palm Central:
- All payments made by buyers go into an escrow account dedicated to this specific project.
- The developer can only withdraw funds in phases, tied to construction progress certified by the DLD.
- This ensures that your EOI and subsequent payments are legally protected and only used for building the property you invest in.

Pricing Overview & Launch Strategy
Palm Central sits in one of Dubai’s most premium beachfront zones. Price per square foot is expected to range from AED 4,000 – 6,000+, depending on the view, floor, and layout.
- 1-Bedroom Units: Starting around AED 5.5 M (≈ USD 1.5 M)
- 2-Bedroom Units: Starting around AED 8.5 M (≈ USD 2.3 M)
- 3-Bedroom Units and Penthouses: Prices upon request
As with most high-end launches, the earliest EOI buyers get the best pricing and unit availability, often resulting in significant capital appreciation once the project reaches the public sales phase.
