Dubai Retail to launch ‘The Yard’ at Palm Jebel Ali in 2027

The development will combine retail, dining, healthcare, wellness and lifestyle offerings in a waterfront setting.

Dubai Retail, part of Dubai Holding Asset Management, has announced plans to launch The Yard, the first retail and lifestyle destination at Palm Jebel Ali. 

Scheduled to open in 2027, the project will become Dubai Retail’s 57th mall and lifestyle destination, reinforcing the company’s presence across key residential growth corridors in the emirate.

The Yard is designed to serve Palm Jebel Ali’s growing residential community, offering a mix of retail, dining, healthcare, wellness and lifestyle experiences in a waterfront setting.

Spanning approximately 70,000 square feet of gross leasable area, the destination will feature 26 retail concepts and is expected to serve around 20,000 residents across the surrounding communities.

Notably, Dubai Asset Management launched the new Dubai Retail identity in September 2025, uniting more than 40 entertainment and retail destinations under its umbrella, as part of a comprehensive growth strategy following the merger of Nakheel and Meydan.
