Official Account Details
Frond A Escrow Account at a Glance
Every dirham of purchase price paid toward a villa on Frond A enters one project escrow account supervised by the Dubai Land Department under project number 3331, never Nakheel's own operating accounts. At this ticket size the booking instalment alone runs to several million dirhams, which makes the account number below the most consequential line in the entire transaction file. My advice here is deliberately unglamorous: save the number now, from this page or from Dubai REST, and treat any version of it that arrives through any other channel as unverified until it matches what you saved.

Re-confirm this account number in Dubai REST or against your Sales and Purchase Agreement before releasing any instalment. An account number that arrives by email alone is never sufficient confirmation: payment-diversion fraud is built around a convincing message, and the escrow number is precisely the field it has to alter. Ultra-prime buyers are targeted hardest, because one successful interception is worth years of ordinary attempts.
Rule one: no payment ever goes to any account other than 0205*****1324 (tap Show above for the full number), regardless of who requests it or how official the request looks.
Where the Project Stands
Registration and Escrow Status
Frond A was registered with the Dubai Land Department on 12 November 2024 under project number 3331, and its Emirates NBD escrow account was opened as a precondition of that registration, before Nakheel was permitted to accept a single dirham from a buyer. Construction formally started on 14 January 2025, and the completion date recorded on the DLD file is 17 January 2028, which sits inside the Q1 2028 handover the frond is marketed against. That alignment between the registered date and the sales date is worth noticing, because the two do not always agree.
The independent RERA inspection dated 18 June 2026 certified 4.39 percent completion, up from 2.08 percent at the previous inspection, with the monitor recording site mobilisation and infrastructure works underway and enabling works, piling, foundation and substructure progressing. That is an early figure and it deserves an honest reading rather than a reassuring one. At 4.39 percent certified, this is a frond of engineering and groundworks rather than villas, and the escrow question is the original one: will it be built, and where does my money sit while that happens. The answer on the second half is verifiable today. Almost nothing committed by buyers has been released to the developer, because almost nothing has yet been certified. For a family buying a home here, the deposit is supervised rather than spent. For an investor, the capital exposed between now and 2028 is governed by a release schedule tied to audited site progress rather than to a launch timeline.

Do It Yourself in 2 Minutes
Verify Frond A's Escrow Account Independently
Do not take this page's word for it, and do not take anyone else's either. The whole point of the escrow system is that you can verify it yourself:
Open Dubai REST
In the Dubai REST app, go to Services, then Project Status.
Find the Project
Search project number 3331 or "Palm Jebel Ali - Frond A".
Match the Details
Open the Escrow Account panel and match the bank and account number against this page and your SPA before every transfer.
I verify these details against Dubai REST before publishing and after each new inspection. If anything on this page ever differs from what you see in the app, trust the app and tell me.
Before You Transfer
- Match the account number on your payment instruction to the Escrow Account panel in Dubai REST.
- Match the same number to the escrow details in your Sales and Purchase Agreement.
- Confirm the amount and the construction milestone it corresponds to.
- If anything differs, even by one digit, stop and message me before sending.
Your Money, Step by Step
How Frond A's Payment Plan Meets the Escrow Account
Frond A sells on a 20/60/20 construction linked plan, with the 4 percent DLD registration fee falling due alongside the booking instalment. On a villa priced from AED 25.2 million (approx USD 6.86 million), that puts roughly AED 6.05 million in motion at signing once the registration fee is counted. What the payment schedule never explains is what happens to that money next: Nakheel cannot draw on it at will, because Emirates NBD releases escrow funds only against construction certified by DLD inspections such as the one recorded on 18 June 2026.
Booking and SPA: 20%
Your booking instalment enters account 0205*****1324 once the villa is registered under Oqood. The separate 4 percent registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department itself and is not escrow money: only purchase price instalments sit in the project account.
Construction Instalments: 60%
These instalments accumulate in escrow and reach Nakheel only as DLD certifies each stage of works. With certified progress at 4.39 percent, the overwhelming majority of this stage, and of the releases attached to it, is still ahead of you.
Handover: 20%
The closing instalment falls due when Nakheel delivers the villa, expected in Q1 2028. A retention portion then remains in escrow after completion to cover defect repairs during the warranty period.
That post-completion retention is the layer buyers hear about least and value most once they reach it. It gives the developer a direct financial reason to close out defects rather than debate them, and on a frond handing over in 2028 it is worth understanding now, while the instalment schedule is still being agreed rather than after it is signed.
Because the escrow account was live before Frond A was ever sold, every buyer payment since launch has passed through Dubai Land Department supervision instead of moving directly to the developer. The mirror image of that protection is the discipline it imposes: at 4.39 percent certified, the developer has earned access to a correspondingly small share of what buyers have committed, which is exactly how the mechanism is designed to behave this early in a build. For how DLD regulates off-plan projects and protects buyers across the market, read the Dubai Land Department guide.
Insights
Project Insights for Palm Jebel Ali Frond A Buyers
Escrow protection is one thread of a well-run Frond A purchase, and at this stage of the build it reads best alongside the others: what each independent inspection is actually certifying on the ground, and how a villa at this price level sits against the residency threshold. These guides carry both.

Palm Jebel Ali Frond A Villa Collection Escrow Account Frequently Asked Questions
Emirates NBD Bank (P.J.S.C.) holds the escrow account for Palm Jebel Ali Frond A, account number 0205*****1324 (shown in full in the Escrow Details section above), opened under DLD project number 3331 when the project was registered in November 2024.
The project is marketed by Nakheel and registered with the Dubai Land Department under developer number 104 in the name of The Palm - Jebel Ali Co. (L.L.C). Both names refer to the same developer, and the registered entity name is what appears in Dubai REST against project number 3331.
Frond A sells on a 20/60/20 construction linked plan. The booking instalment and the construction instalments are paid into the escrow account, and Emirates NBD releases funds to the developer only against construction stages certified by DLD inspections. The final 20 percent is paid at handover, expected in Q1 2028.
No. The 4 percent registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department for registration of the sale, and it is separate from the purchase price. The escrow account holds purchase price instalments only.
The independent RERA inspection dated 18 June 2026 certified 4.39 percent completion, up from 2.08 percent at the previous inspection. The monitor recorded site mobilisation and infrastructure works underway, with enabling works, piling, foundation and substructure progressing. Inspection by inspection detail is tracked on the Frond A construction updates page.
Yes, the protection continues. Funds remain in the escrow account and are released only against certified progress, regardless of the calendar. Escrow protects the capital while the project completes, but it does not itself compensate for delay; those terms sit in the Sales and Purchase Agreement.
No. Every off-plan payment for Palm Jebel Ali Frond A must go into the DLD-registered escrow account 0205*****1324 at Emirates NBD (the full number sits in the Escrow Details section above), exactly as recorded in the Sales and Purchase Agreement. Any request to send funds to a personal account, an agent's account, or an alternative company account, especially one paired with a discount for paying directly, is the classic pattern of payment fraud, no matter how official the paperwork looks. Any such request should be checked against the escrow account registered in Dubai REST and the details in the Sales and Purchase Agreement before any funds are sent.
If the Dubai Land Department cancels a registered project, RERA takes control of the escrow account and buyer refunds are processed from the protected funds under DLD supervision. This is precisely why paying only into the registered account matters: money sent anywhere else sits outside that protection entirely. The wider framework is explained in the Dubai Land Department guide.
Yes, Palm Jebel Ali Frond A is a freehold project, open to all nationalities.
Frond A villas start from AED 25.2 million (approx USD 6.86 million), far above the AED 2 million property investment threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa. The full requirements and application timing are covered in the Frond A Golden Visa guide.
