Dubai-based master developer Nakheel has announced a redevelopment of Jebel Ali Village into an upscale residential community. The project will span 80 hectares and will comprise three clusters, each containing modern, spacious villas, swimming pools, parks and sports facilities.

According to a statement from the firm, Jebel Ali Village will be transformed into a gated, hillside collection of luxury villas set among lush green spaces, with an array of onsite amenities including a mosque, bike trails, jogging tracks, cycle paths, pools, parks and sports courts.

With a focus on natural light, the homes have floor to ceiling windows, generous entertainment space, ensuite bathrooms in all bedrooms, a maid’s room, storage room and, for some villas, a driver’s room.  A number of properties can also be extended to include a penthouse floor featuring a large terrace, living room, bathroom and elevator, the statement added.

“We are committed to adding value to Dubai’s real estate sector by delivering world class projects and enhancing our communities across the city. Jebel Ali Village holds a special place in Dubai’s history, and we are redeveloping the community to preserve and enhance its longevity for many more generations to come.  We will continue the legacy of this vibrant community as we embark on the creation of the new Jebel Ali Village,” said a Nakheel spokesperson.

Jebel Ali Recreation Club, the community’s existing dining, fitness and leisure destination, will remain operational during the redevelopment, with further enhancements planned as part of the overall master plan, the statement concluded.
