Nakheel, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has awarded a contract worth Dhs2.6bn to Fibrex Contracting for the construction of Bay Villas at Dubai Islands. The waterfront community will feature 636 luxury residences across five distinct property types, marking one of Nakheel’s most ambitious residential projects to date.
The development builds on Nakheel’s established partnership with Fibrex Contracting, following their collaboration on the District One West community in Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City (MBRAMC). Bay Villas will introduce a variety of premium homes, including Townhouses, Semi-detached Villas, Garden Villas, Waterfront Villas, and Beachfront Villas, complemented by lifestyle amenities such as three pool houses, a beach club, landscaped parks, and leisure facilities.
Khalid Al Malik, chief executive officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said: “Our partnership with Fibrex Contracting marks a key milestone for Bay Villas, a landmark project that underscores our commitment to shaping Dubai’s future through elevated spaces that residents can proudly call home. This development delivers on our vision of designing waterfront communities that prioritise wellbeing, luxury and privacy, all while offering residents an opportunity to enjoy the best of island living.”
Strategically located along a prime promenade with direct beach access, the Beachfront Villas will offer three-storey residences with six bedrooms, a show kitchen, a rooftop lounge and terrace, and a dedicated dining space. Waterfront Villas will provide expansive plots with panoramic views, while Garden Villas will be surrounded by greenery to create a tranquil retreat. Semi-detached Villas are designed for a modern community lifestyle, and Townhouses will be arranged in four- to six-home clusters with private gardens.
