Jebel Ali Village (JAV) is a neighbourhood in Jebel Ali, southern Dubai, United Arab Emirates. With the original houses being demolished in 2022, luxury villas are currently being constructed by Nakheel Properties in the same area. There are several places of worship located here, including the Churches Complex.




History


The original Jebel Ali Village was constructed in 1977 to provide accommodation to construction contractors' staff. At this time, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum planned to develop Jebel Ali into an industrial area with its own airport, port, and township. The remoteness from central Dubai meant that Jebel Ali Village had to be self-sufficient, making residents develop a strong attachment to the area, even after they had left. Jebel Ali Village was effectively a small British-style garden city. It was a project of Sir William Halcrow and Partners and acted as a prototype for further semi-autonomous residential areas in Dubai such as Emirates Hills and The Gardens.
Construction for the redevelopment of Jebel Ali village had begun by 2008 and was originally expected to be completed by 2013. The existing villas were to be demolished to give space for new ones. Jebel Ali Village upon completion was planned to include commercial, community, and retail facilities, and the expansion of the existing central park to 12 hectares. However the project was put on hold, because of the 2007–2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession, which affected Dubai severely. Instead, Nakheel announced in 2013 that the company intended to renovate the existing villas.
In 2021, it was announced that Jebel Ali Village was to be transformed to make way for luxury villas. The existing tenants were given a year to move, with eviction notices served on them. There are plans for redevelopment with villas. The villas are currently under construction and are expected to be complete in 2025. In 2019, Wasl constructed townhouses in the area next to the Churches Complex, known as Gardenia Townhomes. Phase two of the project was sold out in 2023.
