Palm Jebel Ali

a bridge between the natural and the innovative

Palm Jebel Ali is one of the true wonders of Dubai. One of the key elements is the welcome island. Coming from the mainland the connecting bridge curves up to a first high point over the water, offering a wide panorama of the Palm. This is the place where Dubai will build its truly iconic bridge.

From the bridge the island proper is reached. A welcoming park with extensive water features on either side of the boulevard. Next comes the ensemble of high rise buildings in the center of the island. 6 elegant, leaf shaped towers of different height, are linked together by a low rise building, that flows over the main boulevard. This second and more intimate gate to the Palm provides commercial space, parking and other amenities for the high rise.
