# When is the Palm Jebel Ali Frond M handover date? URL: https://www.dxbrealtor.ai/answers/palm-jebel-ali-frond-m-handover-date/ Topic: Handover date Updated: 2026-10-06 ## Short answer The Palm Jebel Ali Frond M handover date is 8 October 2027, the registered completion date on the Dubai Land Department (DLD) register for project 2594. At the latest DLD inspection, on 5 August 2026, Frond M was 40.29% complete, up from 28.52% on 30 April 2026 (Continental Club, registry updated 4 Oct 2026). Nakheel says the first Palm Jebel Ali villas hand over in phases from late 2026 through 2027 but has not named Frond M, and the frond still needs about 60 points of progress to finish. ## Key figures - Registered completion date (DLD): 8 Oct 2027 (Project 2594.

Frond M gained 11.77 points in the 97 days between the April and August 2026 inspections, about 3.7 points a month. Finishing the remaining 59.71 points by 8 October 2027 would need about 4.3 points a month, so the frond is close to the pace its date requires but not yet on it. ## What the Palm Jebel Ali Frond M handover date means for payments Frond M was sold on a 20/60/20 plan: 20% on booking, 60% during construction and 20% on handover (Property Finder; Continental Club). The handover payment is 20% of the villa's price, for example AED 4.2 million on a villa bought at AED 21 million. It falls due when Nakheel issues the handover notice, so it moves if the frond finishes after 8 October 2027. The DLD register names Emirates NBD as the escrow bank. No post-handover plan has been published for Frond M. ## What to check before relying on the Palm Jebel Ali Frond M date 1. **The completion date in the SPA and its grace period**, which may differ from the register's 8 October 2027. 2. **The next DLD inspection for project 2594.** At the April to August 2026 pace, Frond M would reach 100% around December 2027, about two months after its registered date. 3. **Whether Nakheel names Frond M in its first handover phase.** Its late 2026 start has so far been stated for the island, not for any frond. 4. **On a resale, the Nakheel NOC and how much of the construction share is paid**, since the last 20% falls due at handover. ## Frequently asked ### What is the Frond M handover date? 8 October 2027, the registered completion date on the DLD register (Continental Club, registry updated 4 Oct 2026).
