This will position Palm Jebel Ali as a global benchmark for waterfront living, as well as contribute to the Dubai’s landscape. Phil Sheridan, chief executive officer, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Gulf Properties, said, “The development plan of the Palm Jebel Ali project will undoubtedly enhance confidence in the Emirate of Dubai, in addition to strengthening its position on the global competition map as one of the most important investment destinations in the fields of tourism and real estate, especially luxury real estate.” In line with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, Palm Jebel Ali will support the emirate’s vision to deliver the best-in-class urban infrastructure and facilities, increase beach destinations as well as support sustainable development and facilitate the expansion of the population, estimated to reach approximately 5.8 million by 2040. Sheridan added, “This type of giant project will attract investment companies from all over the world to invest in the various fields provided by the project, and thus we will witness an increase in the number of visitors, tourists, and those wishing to reside and invest. Today, we are facing a comprehensive and integrated project that cannot be reduced to a real estate development project as much as it is an integrated economic opportunity that will provide opportunities for all sectors in the Emirates, including tourism, luxury real estate, trade, services, and others.” Palm Jebel Ali has been designed keeping sustainability in mind, with plans including renewable energy resources being incorporated into its infrastructure design, allowing it to become almost completely self-sufficient in terms of power generation once complete. As much as 30 per cent of Palm Jebel Ali’s energy requirements will be obtained from renewable sources.
