Dubai: Nakheel has awarded a contract worth Dh819 million for the construction of The Palm Tower, its 52-storey, five star hotel and residential complex on Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah, the developer announced.
Nakheel has appointed UAE-based Trojan General Contracting and National Projects & Construction LLC to jointly build the luxury landmark, which will tower almost 240 metres above Dubai’s world-famous Palm Jumeirah island.
The Palm Tower comprises 504 luxury residences and a five star, 290-room hotel with an array of dining and leisure facilities, including a rooftop infinity pool, restaurant and viewing deck. The hotel will occupy the first 18 floors of the building.
The Palm Tower will have direct access to Nakheel Mall, currently under construction. The luxury mall, one of 10 new, large-scale retail projects from Nakheel, will have 300 shops, cinemas, a medical centre, a fitness centre and a roof terrace offering fine dining outlets and unrivalled island, sea and skyline views. The Palm Tower will also offer direct access — via a bridge and walkways — to Palm Jumeirah’s beach clubs, including Nakheel’s Club Vista Mare and Palm Promenade West Beach projects.
