The Palm Deira was announced for development in
October 2004. [2][8] No timetable for completion has been announced. The first announced design was 8 times larger than the Palm Jumeirah, and 5 times larger than the Palm Jebel Ali, and was intended to house one million people. Originally, the design called for a 14 km (8.7 mi) by 8.5 km (5.3 mi) island with 41 fronds. Due to a substantial change in depth in the Persian Gulf the farther out the island goes, the island was redesigned in May 2007. The project then became a 12.5 km (7.8 mi) by 7.5 km (4.7 mi)
island with 18 larger fronds. [2] It will be located alongside Deira.
By early October 2007, 20% of the island's reclamation was complete, with a total of 200 million cubic metres (7 billion cubic feet) of sand
already used. [2] Then in early April 2008, Nakheel announced that more than a quarter of the total
area of the Palm Deira had been reclaimed. [9] This amounted to 300 million cubic metres (10.6 billion
cubic feet) of sand. [9] Since the island is so large, it is being developed in several phases. The first one is
the creation of Deira Island. [2] This portion of the Palm will sit alongside the Deira Corniche between the entrance to Dubai Creek and Al Hamriya Port. Promotional materials state that Deira Island will
act as "the gateway to The Palm Deira" [10] and help
to revitalize the aging area of Deira. [11] By early April 2008, 80% of Deira Island Front's reclamation
was complete. [9]
A new redesign was quietly introduced in November
2008, further reducing the size of the project. [12]
