Developer to transform Palm Jumeirah trunk into pedestrian-friendly beach, park, retail and café complex
Nakheel will transform the entire
trunk of Palm Jumeirah into a walkable beach, park, retail and café
complex under a new project announced at Dubai’s Cityscape Global
exhibition today.
The Palm Promenade will stretch 1.5 kilometres along the island’s
trunk, with new walkways and road crossings connecting the area’s 30
apartment buildings with Al Ittihad Park, Palm West Beach and the
growing number of retail, dining and entertainment facilities on The
Palm.
Unveiling the project at Cityscape Global Dubai, Nakheel Chairman Ali
Rashid Lootah said: “The Palm Promenade is all about connectivity,
walkability and accessibility, and yet another example of our continued
delivery of new, innovative projects at the world-famous Palm Jumeirah.
“This exciting new pedestrian-friendly facility is set to
dramatically enhance the lives of thousands of people who live along
Palm Jumeirah’s trunk. The project promotes a healthy lifestyle and
social, environmental and economic sustainability by encouraging people
to walk, cycle, meet and socialise, and will boost business in the area
with easier access to the ever-expanding range of retail facilities
there.”
Under the plans for the project, Nakheel will connect all elements of
the Palm Jumeirah trunk with one another. Residents of the 20
Shoreline Apartments buildings and 10 Golden Mile buildings will be able
to walk between Al Ittihad Park, Palm West Beach, the Golden Mile
Galleria retail complex and the upcoming Nakheel Mall, currently under
construction at the heart of the island. A number of new cafes will
line the Shoreline buildings, complementing existing and future retail,
dining and entertainment facilities at Golden Mile Galleria and Nakheel
Mall.
The Palm Promenade project also includes upgrades to the design of
Palm West Beach, Nakheel’s new park, dining and beach club facility for
the island. New features include two children’s fountains, retail
facilities and parking for 700 vehicles.
The Palm Promenade joins several other new Nakheel projects,
including Nakheel Mall, The Palm Tower, The Palm Gateway and The Pointe,
coming to Palm Jumeirah.

This article was published on the Nakheel website but I thought worth a read now to see how things are changing for us on the Palm.
Our new website
www.dubaipalmsales.com has a great collection of Palm Jumeirah property and a good place to connect with one of our Palm Jumeirah specialist agents.
