    What to check before you buy

    Check the handover date

    Every project has its own handover date and payment plan, written in the sale and purchase agreement. Read that clause before you reserve. Nakheel’s long record on Palm Jumeirah is a good reason to ask to visit the finished community.

    Know what government-backed means

    Dubai Holding’s ownership tells you who stands behind Nakheel. Your protection on an off-plan unit comes from the project’s registration and the escrow account that holds your instalments.

    Frequently asked questions

    Who owns Nakheel?

    Nakheel is a member of Dubai Holding (nakheel.com). Dubai Holding was formed under the directives of the Ruler of Dubai, and Nakheel became part of it by the Ruler’s order (Dubai Media Office, 16 March 2024). That is why we tag Nakheel as government-backed.

    Where does Nakheel build?

    In our catalogue, mostly in Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Islands.

    What if my Nakheel project is late?

    The handover date for your unit is written in the sale and purchase agreement, and in Dubai your instalments sit in an escrow account tied to the project. Check the date, the clause on delays and the construction progress before you reserve. Our guide to off-plan risk shows what to look at and when.

    Can I resell a Nakheel property before handover?

    In Dubai, off-plan resales happen every year, and the conditions differ by developer and project: how much you must have paid, which fees apply and how the transfer works. We confirm the rules for your project before you reserve. Read more in our guide to reselling off-plan property.

    Does Nakheel offer payment plans?

    Nakheel sells its off-plan projects with instalment plans, and the terms differ from project to project and from launch to launch. We confirm the current plan with the developer and give you the date of that confirmation. This is free for you. The off-plan guide explains how plans are built.

    How many homes has Nakheel handed over in 2026?

    In Dubai, Nakheel handed over 898 homes between 1 January and 15 October 2026 (DXB Interact, Developers Delivery 2026). This is the Dubai figure only.

    How does Nakheel compare with other developers?
