Palm Springs Phase 1 Villas & Townhouses by Nakheel

Palm Springs Phase 1 is the opening phase of Palm Springs, a 382-hectare master community by Nakheel, part of Dubai Holding Real Estate. It covers four clusters: Rancho One and Rancho Two with 4 and 5 bedroom villas, and Aliso One and Aliso Two with 3 and 4 bedroom townhouses, 977 residences in total.

Five home types are offered: 3 bedroom townhouses of about 2,328.6 sq ft (216.3 sq m), 4 bedroom townhouses (G+1) of about 2,672.0 sq ft (248.2 sq m), 4 bedroom townhouses (G+2) of about 3,115.4 sq ft (289.4 sq m), 4 bedroom villas of about 4,041.4 sq ft (375.4 sq m) and 5 bedroom villas of about 4,921.4 sq ft (457.2 sq m). Nakheel's floor plans list typical plot areas from 202.3 sq m for the 3 bedroom townhouse to 563.4 sq m for the 5 bedroom villa, and note that swimming pools and landscape features are excluded from the homes and left to the owner.

Prices start from AED 3.80M ≈ USD 1.03M for the 3 bedroom townhouse. The 4 bedroom townhouses start from AED 4.60M (G+1) and AED 5.20M (G+2), the 4 bedroom villas from AED 7.00M and the 5 bedroom villas from AED 8.90M. These are Nakheel's starting prices, so an individual home can be priced above the starting figure for its type.

The expression of interest is AED 50,000 per unit. The buyer signs Nakheel's EOI form and provides a passport copy, plus an Emirates ID copy where applicable; once the form is submitted, an application reference number is issued by email, and the deposit can then be paid by bank transfer, cheque or credit card. The EOI comes before the booking payment and the sales agreement, and its terms should be confirmed with Nakheel before payment.

Nakheel's plan is 60/40: 10% on booking, 10% each in April 2027, September 2027, February 2028 and July 2028, 5% each in December 2028 and May 2029, and the remaining 40% as the seventh instalment in October 2030, on handover.

Handover of Palm Springs Phase 1 is scheduled for Q4 2030, which is also when the final 40% of the price falls due under Nakheel's payment plan. The sales agreement for each home sets out the completion terms that apply to it.

Palm Springs Phase 1 is in Palm Springs, Nakheel's master community off Sheikh Zayed Road, adjacent to Al Maktoum Airport Street and next to a planned Dubai Metro station. Nakheel's location map gives drive times of 14 minutes to Palm Jebel Ali, 20 minutes to Bluewaters Island, 23 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), 25 minutes to Palm Jumeirah and 30 minutes to the Burj Al Arab.

Nakheel's masterplan centres on Canyon Park, with sensory gardens, waterways, a nature center, an adventure oasis and play parks, and two clubs: Thousand Palms Country Club, with a sand beach pool, wellness center, lounge, event lawn, restaurants and a kids' play area, and Silver Spur Racquet Club, with racquet courts, a gym, fitness studios and kids' and lap pools. The plan also includes 35 km of cycling and jogging tracks, with schools, mosques, a hospital and shopping centres within the masterplan.

Under Dubai's off-plan rules, buyer instalments are paid into a dedicated project escrow held with an approved bank and released to the developer only against construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The escrow details for Palm Springs Phase 1 are confirmed once the project is registered and are set out in the sales agreement.
