Frond D is a catalogue of named villa styles on one finger, not a single repeated plan. On the official Beach Frond D page the first row opens with Cyan Sky, Wave Crest, Ocean Whisper and Bluejay, then continues through Blue Horizon, Provence, Indigo Ocean, Sapphire and peers — with Cobalt, Baia Luna, Pacific Breeze and Crystal Springs still linked in the wider grid. ^[1] The official Coral Frond D page is separate: Coral Dune, Sunset Mirage, Red Aurora, Redwood, Porcelain Roses, Hibiscus and siblings. ^[2]

Collection sizes still come from the 23 Oct 2025 Nakheel press: Beach band about 7.5–8.5k sqft with five or six bedrooms; Coral band about 11.5–12.5k sqft with six or seven. ^[3] On the Frond D portal card, Property Finder adds a 44-home marketing count, freehold ownership, and an open near AED 18–18.1M. Projects Scout agrees on keys and payment but keeps price on request. ^{[4] [5]} Unit layout tables still showed Coming soon when we read the card, so treat net area as provisional until a dated unit list appears.

How to buy cleanly: shortlist the villa style after a visit if you can, then read the booking form and sale contract. Confirm style, plot ID, bedroom count and area already match the home you chose. If anything differs, pause until the developer reissues corrected paperwork.

Easy mix-ups (different paperwork):

• Frond B and Frond C location cards — neighbouring fingers, separate booking files ^[4]
• Single-style research such as Cyan Sky or Wave Crest — one façade, not the whole Frond D pack ^[1]
• The island-wide Coral Collection overview — Coral menu beyond this finger ^[3]
• Frond E portal packaging on a further finger ^[4]
• Palm Central Phase 2 apartments and townhouses on the spine — not free-standing villas ^[3]

Beach-access, pool and garden claims stay soft until SPA exhibits for your plot list them. ^[4]

Public keys language: Property Finder prints December 2028, Q4 2028 and expected completion 4 December 2028. Projects Scout prints December 2028 and, in FAQ, 3 December 2028. ^{[4] [5]} Quarter-level agreement is useful; the sale contract and written handover notice still win.

Public payment language:

• Property Finder plan block and FAQ: 20% at sales launch, 60% during construction, 20% on handover ^[4]
• Projects Scout step plan: the same 20 / 60 / 20 split ^[5]

A percentage stamp is not a household budget. Convert it into dated AED amounts before you wire a deposit. Portal timelines also stamp booking on 5 December 2025 and construction start on 6 December 2025 — historical context, not a site-progress certificate. ^[4]

Developer: Nakheel (see the developer hub in the page footer links). October 2025 press frames Nakheel as a Dubai Holding Real Estate member. ^[3] At reservation time, compare the legal seller printed on the booking pack with the header on the sale contract.

Place: Palm Jebel Ali master island — not Palm Jumeirah. Master-plan press still cites seven islands over 13.4 km, sixteen fronds and more than 90 km of beachfront. ^{[3] [7]} Your shortlist should read Frond D + villa style + plot ID, not a vague “new palm villa.”

1. Style not written on the form — booking “Frond D” without a named villa style and plot ID leaves the contracted design unclear. ^{[1] [4]}
2. 44 is a portal count — Property Finder’s inventory chip is marketing, not a sealed stock certificate; other databases may show different geography totals. ^{[4] [6]}
3. Price floor is one portal — AED 18–18.1M is Property Finder; Projects Scout is price-on-request; Coral homes usually sit above Beach entry. ^{[4] [5]}
4. Sizes still provisional — unit tables said Coming soon; collection press bands are not plot-specific nets. ^{[4] [3]}
5. Cash plan is percentage-only — 20/60/20 must become calendar AED amounts before funding. ^{[4] [5]}
6. Amenity icons are soft — beach path, pool and park claims bind only when listed on your plot’s exhibits. ^[3]
7. Sibling fingers look alike online — B, C and E ads can mirror Frond D creatives; only paperwork that says Frond D is Frond D. ^[4]

1. Use Dubai Land Department tools to confirm registration and escrow for the Frond D villa you intend to buy — do that before any deposit moves.
2. Lock style and plot first. Read the booking form and sale contract: style name, plot ID, bedrooms and net area should already match. You review developer forms; you do not rewrite them. ^{[1] [4]}
3. Check the contracting company name is consistent from reservation pack to sale contract. ^[3]
4. Rebuild 20/60/20 into a personal dated payment calendar in AED. ^{[4] [5]}
5. Pause if the paperwork points at another finger, another villa style, or a Palm Central unit — wait for corrected documents. ^{[1] [3]}
6. Collect plot-level sheets for beach access, pool and outdoor rooms instead of relying on amenity icons. ^[4]
