Nakheel, a subsidiary of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has unveiled Bay Estate, a new residential development at Dubai Islands featuring around 360 homes, as well as beachfront and waterfront plots.

Under its master plan, Dubai Islands is designed to accommodate more than 230,000 people across approximately 62,000 homes.

The development will also include more than 11,000 hotel rooms and over 4,000 branded residences across five islands spanning a total area of 18.6 square kilometres.

The Dubai Islands master plan will add approximately 57 kilometres to Dubai’s coastline, including 21 kilometres of beaches.

Plans also include two golf courses, eight marinas, water transport networks, waterfront parks, and dedicated cycling and walking trails.

Dubai Islands is connected to mainland Dubai by three bridges linking it to the Al Shindagha Corridor.

The development is approximately 10 kilometres from Dubai International Airport and around 15 kilometres from Downtown Dubai.

According to the announced plans, the five Dubai Islands will collectively accommodate more than 230,000 residents, approximately 62,000 homes, over 11,000 hotel rooms and more than 4,000 branded residences.

Bay Estate will be developed on a 653,709-square-metre site, with 2.4 kilometres of beachfront and 6.5 kilometres of waterfront.

The development will feature villas and townhouses across three districts — Cala, Verda and Agora — alongside beachfront and waterfront plots.

Bay Estate will also offer community and sports facilities, pedestrian-friendly spaces and a dedicated marina for leisure boats.

Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said the project forms part of the continued development of Dubai Islands and the expansion of waterfront residential communities in Dubai.

Once completed, Bay Estate is expected to accommodate more than 12,000 residents.
