Is Palm Springs a good investment? The registered DLD sales record at three Nakheel communities next door gives the question some context. It’s a record, not a forecast. Nakheel’s Palm Springs is in Jebel Ali, and EOI started on 10 November 2026.
What happened at the Nakheel communities next door?
Typical sale prices at the three communities rose from their early entry levels. Early entry means the first three months of Nakheel’s sales. Sale price means what homes sold for in 2025 or so far in 2026. Both use the median, the middle sale, measured in AED per sq ft of land.
Table: typical (median) AED per sq ft of land. Early entry = the first three months of Nakheel's sales. Source: DLD registered sales, Peak Trust Research. 2026 is indicative.

| Tilal Al Furjan | Apr 2022 | 695 | 1,387 | 2025 | +100% |
| Jebel Ali Village | Feb 2022 | 671 | about 1,500 | 2026 so far | +124% |
Murooj Al Furjan’s typical price rose by 118%. Tilal Al Furjan’s rose by 100%. Jebel Ali Village’s rose by 124%.
The first owner sales at Murooj Al Furjan and Tilal Al Furjan came about three years after launch. These comparisons use different homes, and the 2026 figure is indicative. It’s history, not a forecast.
Where is Palm Springs?
Location: Palm Springs between Sheikh Zayed Road and Palm Jebel Ali. Map: Nakheel, recoloured by Peak Trust.
Palm Springs is in Jebel Ali, off Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Maktoum Airport Street. Nakheel’s masterplan shows a planned Metro station at the community gate, about a three-minute walk away. No date is given for the station.
Etihad Rail’s Al Yalayis station opened in September 2026. Al Maktoum International’s new passenger terminal is under construction.
Nakheel says Palm Springs sits inside Dubai 2040’s core urban area. It’s next to the Jebel Ali coast and nature reserve, according to Nakheel.
Table: drive times, according to Nakheel.
| To | Minutes |
|---|---|
| Palm Jebel Ali | 14 |
| Bluewaters | 20 |
| Al Maktoum International (DWC) | 23 |
| Palm Jumeirah | 25 |
| Burj Al Arab | 30 |
| Yas Island | 50–60 |
The place
The masterplan: villa sectors (green) around Canyon Park, townhouse sectors (red) on the outer ring. Masterplan: Nakheel, illustrative.
Palm Springs covers 382 hectares. More than 30% is open space. The plan includes 35 km of cycling and jogging tracks.
Canyon Park includes streams, ponds, waterfalls, sandy beaches and sensory gardens. Thousand Palms Country Club has a beach pool, restaurants and kids’ pools. Silver Spur Racquet Club has courts, a gym and a lap pool. Schools, mosques, a hospital and shops are planned inside the community.

Table: Palm Springs first release. Sizes are typical, in sq ft. Prices are Nakheel's from-prices, subject to availability.
| Home | Floors | Built-up | Land | From (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 BR Aliso townhouse | G+1 | 2,329 | 2,178 | 3.8M |
| 4 BR Aliso townhouse | G+1 | 2,672 | 3,269 | 4.6M |
| 4 BR Aliso townhouse | G+2 | 3,115 | 3,435 | 5.2M |
| 4 BR Rancho villa | G+2 | 4,041 | 5,158 | 7.0M |
| 5 BR Rancho villa | G+2 | 4,921 | 6,065 | 8.9M |
Every home has a maid’s room with a bath. Each also has a covered carport for two cars. The villas and the 4 BR G+2 townhouse add a guest bedroom and a top-floor terrace.
The villas use district cooling, with no large cooling units on the roof. That leaves more room for a terrace and makes for a quieter home. Private pools shown in renders aren’t included. Nakheel says plots are larger and density is lower than in comparable communities.

The payment plan
The plan spreads the price across booking, construction and handover. The booking payment is 10%. A further 50% is due during construction, from April 2027 to May 2029. The remaining 40% is due on handover, estimated for October 2030.
EOI started on 10 November 2026. Allocation goes by payment date and time.
So, is it a good investment?
The record next door is strong, and the payment plan spreads the cost. The Metro station is planned, with no date given. There isn’t a yes or no answer here. Your choice rests on the home, the plot and your timeline.
