Do Palm Springs villas have district cooling?

Nakheel states that Palm Springs villas benefit from district cooling, which removes large external cooling units from the property and reduces noise and maintenance.

Every home type is priced above AED 2 million, the usual property threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa. Eligibility is decided by the authorities and the rules can change, so confirm current conditions before relying on it.

Yes. It is a freehold community in Dubai, so non-residents and foreign nationals can buy and own the property outright.

The Dubai Land Department registration fee is 4% of the price, with the share each party pays set by the sale agreement, plus admin fees. Instalments are paid into a regulated project escrow account. We give you a full cost sheet for your chosen home.

Do I pay more to buy Palm Springs through Sekenë Properties?

No. On new off-plan launches the developer normally pays the agent's fee, so you pay the same price as buying direct and get a licensed agent handling your EOI, paperwork and follow-up. We confirm this in writing for your purchase.

Is Palm Springs cheaper than Palm Jebel Ali?

Yes, by a wide margin: Palm Springs starts from AED 3.8M, while recent Palm Jebel Ali releases have been reported from around AED 27 million. They are different products: Palm Springs is mainland family homes, Palm Jebel Ali is an island with beachfront living.

Will Palm Springs sell out?

Interest in the first release has been strong and availability can change quickly. We cannot predict sell-out, so ask us for live availability before you decide.
