Palm Central Frond M by Nakheel

Palm Central Frond M Residences is a Nakheel development of 212 homes in three buildings on Palm Jebel Ali, forming the Frond M side of the collection Nakheel markets as Palm Central Private Residences. It offers 1 to 5 bedroom apartments, 4 bedroom townhouses and 5 bedroom penthouses, with handover scheduled for August 2029.

The project is in Palm Central on Palm Jebel Ali, Dubai, along the Spine, the island's central boulevard, between Fronds M and N. Al Maktoum International Airport is about 25 minutes' drive away, Dubai Marina about 25 to 30 minutes, and Downtown Dubai about 40 to 45 minutes.

The collection includes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom apartments, 4 bedroom ground-floor townhouses with private gardens and garages, and 5 bedroom penthouses with private swimming pools. Sizes range from approximately 735 sq ft for a 1 bedroom apartment to approximately 9,797 sq ft for a penthouse.

Handover is expected in August 2029, which is also when the final 30% instalment of the payment plan falls due. The project is at an early stage of construction, with the latest RERA inspection recording mobilisation and infrastructure works beginning on site. Dated progress records are tracked in the Palm Central Frond M construction updates guide.

Prices start from AED 2.50M ≈ USD 681K for a 1 bedroom apartment and reach AED 31.81M ≈ USD 8.66M for a 5 bedroom penthouse. The final price of a unit depends on its type, floor, view and availability at the time of booking.

Nakheel's published plan is 70/30 and follows calendar dates rather than construction stages: 20% on booking, 50% in seven instalments between April 2026 and August 2028, and the final 30% in August 2029, the estimated construction completion date.

It suits buyers with a multi-year horizon. The entry price of AED 2.50M buys a beachfront position on a new island, with half of the price spread across construction instalments, but rental income can only begin after the August 2029 handover. Suitability depends on entry price, holding horizon and exit strategy: the 1 and 2 bedroom apartments reach the broadest rental and resale audience, while the townhouses and penthouses trade on scarcity within a 212-home collection.

Every residence type is priced from AED 2.50M upward, above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa, so each unit meets the price criterion. The Palm Central Frond M Golden Visa guide explains how off-plan ownership and timing affect an application.

Yes, Palm Central Frond M Residences on Palm Jebel Ali is a freehold property, open to all nationalities.

Yes. Reservation, SPA signing and registration can all be completed remotely, and I manage the process end to end with Nakheel on your behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.

Off plan payments are made into the project's DLD-registered escrow account with First Abu Dhabi Bank P.J.S.C. and released to the developer only against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Palm Central Frond M escrow account guide explains how this applies to the project.

Most buyers at this stage rely on Nakheel's payment plan, because off plan mortgage options for non-residents are limited. Financing becomes more accessible at the August 2029 handover, when completed units qualify for standard UAE mortgage products available to non-residents.
