Palma Development has started work on the second phase of Serenia District, its AED 5 billion master plan in Jumeirah Islands, Dubai. Site operations and piling are under way for the East Residences, and the phase brings apartments from one to four bedrooms. The developer announced the milestone on 11 November.
At the same time, foundation works are complete at West Residence, the district's first tower. Its main contractor has now started on the main structure.
01The two towers in detail
The release sets out two of the East Residences towers. East Residence 2 holds the larger family homes, while East Residence 3 suits buyers looking at one and two-bedroom layouts.
| Tower | Height | Homes | Sizes |
|---|---|---|---|
| East Residence 2 | 25 floors | 2, 3 and 4-bedroom apartments | 1,316 to 5,364 sq ft |
| East Residence 3 | 23 storeys | 1 and 2-bedroom apartments | 875 to 1,605 sq ft |
Prices, the payment plan and the handover date are on request. We send the current price list for each tower on registration.
02Serenia District in figures
Serenia District covers more than 600,000 sq ft of land, with a total built-up area of 3.5 million sq ft across six residential towers. The concept design is by Nikken Sekkei, with Godwin Austen Johnson as design architect.
Residents will share a four-storey Serenia Signature Clubhouse with fitness suites, indoor and outdoor pools, sports courts and family spaces. The district is also laid out around six wellness zones.
03What it means for buyers
Two phases are now on site at once: the West Residence structure is rising while Phase II piling continues. For off-plan buyers, that is a visible sign of progress across the master plan.
Jumeirah Islands is a low-rise villa community, so the towers sit beside its lakes with the JLT skyline behind. JLT, Dubai Marina and the Emirates Living communities are a few minutes' drive away.
