Key Highlights

Nakheel has awarded a Dh527 million infrastructure contract for Island B at Dubai Islands, marking further progress in one of Dubai’s major waterfront developments.
The contract has been awarded to Al Nasr Contracting Company to deliver core infrastructure supporting future residential, hospitality, and mixed-use projects.
Scope of works includes roads, paving, potable water networks, electrical systems, telecom networks, drainage, and sewage infrastructure.
The infrastructure package will also integrate with district cooling systems and align with existing infrastructure already in place on Island A.
The works are designed to establish essential utilities and connectivity ahead of vertical construction, supporting long-term development readiness.
Island B forms a central component of the wider Dubai Islands masterplan and is positioned to support multiple future development phases.
Dubai Islands spans 18.6 square kilometres across five interconnected islands, creating a major new coastal destination within Dubai.
The masterplan is expected to deliver approximately 49,000 homes and accommodate more than 231,000 residents, supporting future residential growth.
The development will also introduce around 57 kilometres of coastline, including 21 kilometres of beachfront, alongside resorts, marinas, and retail destinations.
Connectivity remains a major advantage, with three bridges linking Dubai Islands to the mainland through the Al Shindagha Corridor.
Proximity to Dubai International Airport and Downtown Dubai further strengthens the location’s accessibility and long-term investment appeal.
The infrastructure contract reinforces steady execution across one of Dubai’s most important coastal masterplans and supports broader urban expansion goals.
The project also aligns with Dubai’s focus on integrated destinations that support population growth, tourism expansion, and economic diversification.
Overall, the Dh527 million contract highlights strong momentum at Dubai Islands and reinforces confidence in Dubai’s large-scale waterfront real estate development pipeline.
