Select Group, the real estate development and investment company, along with its longstanding joint venture partner Emirates Strategic Investments Company (ESIC), a multi-sector diversified holding company, has acquired a beachfront plot of land on Palm Jumeirah from master developer Nakheel.
The Joint Venture bought a 17,919.24 sqm land plot on the island’s West Crescent. Earlier it had acquired an adjacent land plot of 47,474 sqm, bringing its total prime beachfront development area spanning over 65,410 sqm.
Located between the luxury developments of the One & Only and W Hotel Palm Jumeirah, the plot of land is one of the last few remaining beachfront plots within a 7-minutes distance from Dubai’s bustling metropolis.
Within easy reach of Palm Jumeirah’s growing number of attractions, including The Pointe, Nakheel Mall and The View, and offering panoramic sea and Dubai skyline views, Palm Jumeirah’s West Crescent is a truly unique location for living and leisure.
