A retail property division, Nakheel Retail provides planning, development and management services to the Dubai World group of companies.

Projects currently being developed by Nakheel Retail include a significant retail development on The Palm Jumeirah, the roll out of local neighbourhood convenience malls within Nakheel’s numerous residential developments, and further large scale regional malls to support the future The Palm Jebel Ali, Dubai Waterfront, and The Palm Deira projects.
The retail property business will oversee the management of the group’s premier shopping centre, the 140,000 square metre Ibn Battuta Mall, and will continue to review expansion opportunities for the popular mall. Nakheel Retail will also oversee the development of the Dubai Design Centre, planned as the region’s largest shopping destination for home furnishings, appliances, DIY products and designer homewares.

Nakheel Properties (Arabic: نَـخٍـيْـل, romanized: nakhīl, lit. 'palm tree') is a real estate development company based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.[3] The formal name of the company is Nakheel PJSC (private joint stock company) and it was a subsidiary of Dubai World and a private state-owned enterprise.[4][2]

Nakheel was central to Dubai's debt crisis in 2009–2010.[5] The company has been reported to be the second-largest property developer in Dubai after Emaar Properties.[6]

On March 16 2024 Nakheel, along with Meydan, were merged into Dubai Holding and ceased to be a separate entity.[7]

History

[edit]

Nakheel was founded in 2003[4] as a subsidiary of state-owned Dubai World and a private state-owned enterprise.[8]

The company was involved with a sukuk, which raised legal issues in 2009.[9][10] This sukuk has been the subject of academic study.[11][12] It was reported to be the largest ever sukuk.[13][14]

In 2010, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem was replaced as chairman of Dubai World.[15][16] The same year, the company started payments for creditors.[17] In 2011, the company undertook 59 billion dirham ($16 billion) of debt restructuring.[18] On 6 July 2011, Dubai World’s board of directors announced that Nakheel's legal ownership would be transferred to the Government of Dubai upon completion of the company's financial restructuring.[19][20] In 2012, the company was the subject of a study by the American University of Sharjah on corporate governance along with Tamweel.[21]

In 2013, the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, approved US$898 million of funding for the company and ordered work to start on two major projects on the Palm Jumeirah.[22][23] In 2017, the company achieved $1 billion net profit in nine months, delivering 1,200 units with 23,000 under construction in Dubai.[24] The same year (2017), Nakheel awarded a $410 million contract for the Palm Gateway to the company Shapoorji Pallonji Mideast to construct a three-tower residential, retail, and beach club complex.[25][26]

In January 2020, Mohammed Ibrahim Al Shaibani took over as chairman from Ali Rashid Lootah.[27][28] In May 2020, it was reported that some employees' salaries were cut between 30 and 50 percent for senior staff due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[29] In November 2020, Naaman Atallah was appointed as the company's chief executive officer.[30]

In September 2022, Nakheel rebranded, unveiled a new logo.[31] The same month, the company also made announcements regarding previously frozen projects, including Palm Deira, which the company restarted in August 2022,[31] and which was renamed as Deira Islands, then changed to Dubai Islands.

After a $4.6 billion debt restructuring deal, Nakheel is set to relaunch the Palm Jebel Ali project, having stalled since 2008,[32][33] building 1,700 villas and 6,000 apartments on the man-made islands,[34] having previously contacted existing investors offering to buy back their contracts for plots and properties.[35][36][37]

Financial crisis of 2007–2008

[edit]

Nakheel prospered until the financial crisis of 2007–2010 started a decline in Dubai's real estate market, putting Dubai World at risk of bankruptcy in November 2009.[8] After write-downs of real estate values and lower sales, Nakheel had made a loss of 13.4bn dirham ($3.65 billion) in the first half of 2009,[38] and despite a cash bail-out in May,[39] the company sought to delay the December repayment of a $3.5 billion bond. This happened because Dubai's government refused to bail out Nakheel's parent company,[38][40] due to which it requested a stay on debt payments, and consequently, it was downgraded to junk status.[41] However, on 14 December 2009, in the nick of time, neighbouring Abu Dhabi invested $10bn in Dubai, warding off Nakheel's debt default,[42] and in March 2010, the government of Dubai rescued Dubai World, providing $9.5bn to help ensure Nakheel bond-holders would be paid on time and in full.[43] The move was seen as key to resolving Dubai's debt crisis: "Fix Nakheel, and you go a long way to fixing Dubai real estate; fix real estate, and you fix Dubai," said Aidan Burkitt, hired from Deloitte to be Dubai World's chief restructuring officer.[5]

Portfolio

[edit]

Nakheel has also developed properties outside Dubai, in Montenegro for example.[48]
