Jumeirah Islands
Our largest completed transformation to date is a 12,500 sq ft villa in Jumeirah Islands — fourteen months, structural openings, full re-finish. This community rewards contractors who plan properly.
Jumeirah Islands is a Nakheel community of clusters set around lakes, with villas handed over in the mid-2000s. The bones are generous — large plots, proper setbacks, and water views most communities cannot offer. The unrenovated interiors, though, are firmly of their era: heavy arches, closed kitchens, and windows that treat the lake as a postcard rather than the point of the house.
The transformation formula
Owners buy here for the location and the light, then rebuild the interior around both. The recurring scope is structural: opening the lake-facing elevation with larger glazing, creating double-height volumes, and taking down the walls between kitchen, dining and living. All of that is engineered work — assessed, designed, and approved through a Nakheel NOC and a Trakhees permit before anything is cut.
What fourteen months on one villa taught us
Our flagship project in the community is a 12,500 sq ft villa transformation that ran fourteen months, including structural openings. The lessons from it shape every project we run now: procurement starts while the structure is still open, because imported stone and bespoke joinery carry lead times of ten to fourteen weeks; approvals are sequenced so the site never sits idle waiting for paper; and the difference between a fourteen-month project and a two-year one is planning, not luck.
Building beside water
The lakes are what you pay for, and they are also a detailing discipline. Terraces, planters and roof areas near water get waterproofing done properly — it is the most common failure we see in other firms' work. External metalwork and lighting are specified for the humid lakeside environment, and landscaping to the water's edge follows the community's rules. None of this is complicated for a team that has done it; all of it is expensive to fix for one that has not.

Frequently Asked Questions about building in Jumeirah Islands
Can the layout of a Jumeirah Islands villa be opened up?
Yes — most villa types take structural openings well, subject to an engineering assessment and Nakheel/Trakhees approval. Opening the interior and the lake-facing elevation is the single most requested change in the community.
How long does a full Jumeirah Islands transformation take?
A deep transformation with structural work realistically runs twelve to sixteen months — our 12,500 sq ft flagship took fourteen. An interior-only refresh without structural changes is materially shorter.
Who approves renovation works in Jumeirah Islands?
Nakheel issues the master developer NOC and Trakhees issues the building permit; cosmetic interior work is lighter-touch. We manage the full approval chain and build its timeline into the programme.
Do you handle the external works as well?
Yes. Elevations, terraces, pools and landscaping are usually part of the same programme, so the finished villa reads as one coherent project rather than a patchwork of contractors.
