Emaar vs Nakheel: What's the Difference?

Emaar's villa extension process goes through the Emaar Community Portal and Design Review Committee (DRC), with a tiered GFA fee structure based on percentage increase over original built-up area. Nakheel's process goes through its own NOC system, with design reviews that have become more thorough since Nakheel's merger with Dubai Holding. Both are typically followed by the relevant authority's building permit stage.
