Flora Isle

The buildings and the team

The complex is planned as three apartment buildings, and its substructure is specified as one basement level for car parking. JT & Partners is its design architect, with Bainona Engineering Consultancy as architectural consultant. Citic Middle East Contracting holds the main building contract, and Aquapile is carrying out the foundation work.

Dubai Islands

Nakheel is building Dubai Islands as a cluster of man-made islands off the Deira shoreline, reclaimed from the remnants of Palm Deira, which was halted at an early stage of construction. It went by the name Deira Islands until August 2022, when it took its current name. Arif & Bintoak is the master plan's architectural consultant and ALNASR Contracting its main contractor.

The master plan divides the land into the Shore, Central, Marina, Golf and Elite islands. Central is the largest island. Shore Island is given over to sport and resorts, Golf Island is planned with an 18-hole course together with resorts, wellness enclaves and villas, and Elite Island, the smallest, is planned for waterfront villas. Across the islands, the plan sets aside over 20 kilometres of beach and around two square kilometres given to parks and open space.

Some of the scheme is already open:

• Souk Al Marfa, a night market completed in 2018 under its former name of Deira Islands Night Souk, counts 5,300 shops and nearly 100 cafes and restaurants along the quay.
• RIU Dubai, a 33-storey tower of 800 rooms developed by Nakheel in partnership with the Spanish hotel group RIU, opened in December 2020 with a water park, a rooftop pool deck and seven food and drink outlets.
• Centara Mirage Beach Resort is a beachfront resort with a waterpark, set up by Nakheel and the Thai group Centara together and managed by Centara; it was enlarged to 600 keys.
• Nakheel Marinas Dubai Islands opened on the islands' northern shore in May 2023. Its 248 wet berths accept vessels as long as 47 metres and its 40 dry berths accept trailers of 20 metres at most; 13 superyachts can moor at once. Separate anchorages, announced in October 2020, can hold vessels as long as 165m for a day trip or an overnight stay.

At least one beach on Dubai Islands is among the eight Nakheel beaches with Blue Flag accreditation. On the eastern beach, Nakheel has made an area where dogs are allowed to swim.
