The Palm Residence Construction Update
It’s amazing to think within a matter of months some of our customers will be amongst
the first residents to take possession of their superb property located on the trunk
of The Palm Jumeirah. Completion of The Palm Residence (Al Nabat & Al Haseer)
is on track for the first quarter of 2007.
The Club House external structure is now in place and residents will be able to access the leisure facilities from the ground floor. A fully equipped gymnasium will be fitted out to cater for the cluster of four residential towers. The management of the health & leisure complex has been awarded to Jumeirah due to their industry expertise and world class reputation for managing other similar facilities. Additionally, ground works are in full swing to complete the pool area and the beautification of the beach is in progress. Residents can expect to walk along their own private beach area whilst looking at the stunning silhouette of the Burj Al Arab. Coui get any better?
With reference to the overall Palm Jumeirah, a major milestone has been reached with the opening of the Gateway Bridge, albeit just for construction staff at present. The Gateway Bridge has taken two years to construct and will connect the Palm Jumeirah to the Sufouh Interchange leading to Sheikh Zayed Road. The North and South Bridges are five lanes in each direction spanning 360 metres in length and 26 metres across. The bridge will allow easy access to the island for potentially 40,000 workers and 5,000 vehicles per day during the final stages of construction of Phase A. The frst phase of construction includes the villas on the fronds of the island and the twenty shoreline apartments located on the East side of the trunk.
The bridge will ultimately provide a state of the art transport artery that will
service the island’s many residential and commercial facilities.
