Prices and Home Types

Palm Springs starts at AED 3.8M for a 3-bedroom townhouse and AED 8.9M for a 5-bedroom villa. Vi.ki's own working shows the cheapest space per square foot is the 3-bedroom townhouse at about AED 1,634, and the dearest the 5-bedroom villa at about AED 1,809.

On Nov 9, 2026, Nakheel's factsheet gave these starting prices. The last column is our own arithmetic, the starting price divided by the unit area, and appears in none of Nakheel's documents.

Type	Unit area	From	Homes	AED per sq ft
3-bedroom townhouse (G+1)	2,326 sq ft	AED 3.8M	348	about 1,634
4-bedroom townhouse (G+1)	2,672 sq ft	AED 4.6M	212	about 1,722
4-bedroom townhouse (G+2)	3,115 sq ft	AED 5.2M	52	about 1,669
4-bedroom villa (G+2)	4,041 sq ft	AED 7.0M	255	about 1,732
5-bedroom villa (G+2)	4,921 sq ft	AED 8.9M	110	about 1,809

"G+1" means a ground floor and one upper floor; "G+2" adds a second upper floor.

What the table says

The 3-storey 4-bedroom townhouse costs less per square foot than its 2-storey sibling: AED 600,000 more buys 443 more square feet, about AED 1,354 for each extra one. It is also the rarest type, at 52 homes, roughly one in nineteen.

Moving from the largest townhouse to the smallest villa costs AED 1.8M and adds 926 square feet of home. The bigger change is the land: a typical plot grows from 3,435 to 5,158 square feet, and a private pool appears on the plan (Floor Plans).

Every home starts above AED 2M, the property value the UAE uses for a Golden Visa; how an off-plan purchase qualifies is for the authorities to confirm.

Plot sizes against a comparable community

Nakheel's briefing sets Palm Springs beside what it calls a "comparable Tier 1 development" in Dubai South or DIP, without naming it. These are the developer's figures, not independent ones.

Average	Palm Springs	Comparable, per Nakheel
3-bedroom townhouse plot	2,178 sq ft	1,574 sq ft
4-bedroom townhouse plot	3,269 sq ft	2,871 sq ft
5-bedroom villa plot	6,065 sq ft	5,395 sq ft
3-bedroom townhouse sellable area	2,326 sq ft	2,176 sq ft
4-bedroom townhouse sellable area	2,672 sq ft	2,472 sq ft
5-bedroom villa sellable area	4,921 sq ft	5,047 sq ft

The briefing's floor area ratios (sellable area over plot) are 1.07 and 0.82 for the townhouses and 0.78 and 0.81 for the villas, against 1.38, 0.86 and 0.94 for the comparison. Its 4-bedroom villa has no comparison row. The one line where Palm Springs is smaller is the 5-bedroom villa's sellable area.

Nakheel's case for the price

The briefing argues appreciation from neighbors, and we report it as the seller's argument:

Community	Earlier, AED per sq ft	Later, AED per sq ft	Rise, per Nakheel
Palm Jebel Ali villas (primary sales)	2,694, Q1 2025	3,997, Q1 2026	48%
Jebel Ali Village (all sales)	1,007, 2022	1,758, 2026	75%
Tilal Al Furjan (all sales)	946, 2022	1,745, 2026	84%
Murooj Al Furjan (all sales)	935, 2022	2,132, 2026	128%

It also states 65% growth for the overall market since 2022 and 12% villa growth in the first three quarters from 2025 to 2026. Past prices elsewhere say nothing certain about this community, and none of this is investment advice.

We think the honest comparison is with the three mainland communities, not the island. Palm Springs' villas start at about AED 1,732 to 1,809 per square foot, close to the 2026 figures Nakheel gives for Jebel Ali Village and Tilal Al Furjan and under half of Palm Jebel Ali's AED 3,997.
