Palm Deira Districts
Being the largest among the three Palm Islands, Palm Deira have been sub-divided into various districts. These districts are:
- Deira Island
- Palm Crown
- Palm Fronds
- Palm Crescent
- Palm Trunk
- North Island
- South Island
- Central Island
- Al Mamzar Island
All these districts or islands with have distinctive features, housing system and entertainment facilities and other hotels and malls of their own that will set them apart from others.
Up till now, approximately 20% of the land reclamation is complete. More than 200 million cubic meters of sand has already been used for reclamation which is more than 80% of what has been used for Palm Jumeirah. Due to its large size and magnitude, the island will be completed in specific phases. The first phase Deira Island will be connected by bridges with the current area of Deira, between the mouth of Dubai Creek and Port Hamriya. Deira Island will act as "the gateway to The Palm Deira" and help to revitalize the aging area of Deira. It is expected to finish by 2015.
The master plan of Palm Deira aims to create a high quality environment that will set new standards of living and sustainable development providing highest value to urban design. Special important has been given on providing multiple access points and developing meaningful public transport system that includes extension of the Dubai Metro, tram and other water networks.
Due to the status of properties and lenient laws, now everyone can buy or rent an apartment or a villa at Palm Deira. Freehold property is tax-free, secure and offers you the great incentives to invest in property at Palm Diera and earn handsome return on investment. Palm Deira is expected to play a major role in the regeneration and development of downtown Deira as well as Dubai all over the world in tourism and new standards of living.
