Serenia District at Jumeirah Islands

Serenia District at a glance

Two Serenia registrations in the DLD record

Palma announced six towers for Serenia District, but the DLD register holds them in two entries, both filed by Palma Homes Real Estate Development L.L.C with escrow at Sharjah Islamic Bank:

Together they hold 1,236 units. Palma has not published the East tower names in a source NAHY can cite, so NAHY asks which tower a unit sits in.

Serenia District East: 813 units and a 2030 date

Registered on 22 January 2026, it had 112 sales by the end of September and 10 more between 1 and 29 October, 122 in all. Resales count in the same total, so at least 691 of its 813 units had no registered sale at the end of October. Palma publishes no availability count that NAHY found, so NAHY checks availability with Palma unit by unit.

East is at the start of its works: in June 2026 Palma announced the appointment of APCC Piling and Marine Contracting for piling and shoring there (Middle East Construction News, 25 June 2026). At 1.12% built, 30 June 2030 is the date Palma declared to the DLD, not a promise.

West Residence: 46 storeys, foundations finished, a resale route

West Residence was the first phase: a 46 storey tower of one to three bedroom homes, 419 in Palma's launch release and 423 units in the register. By 29 October 2026 the DLD had recorded 378 sales, so at least 45 units had no registered sale, and only 54 of those sales came between October 2025 and September 2026. NAHY asks Palma what remains in West and also checks contracts from earlier buyers.

Khansaheb Civil Engineering won the main contract in December 2025; the foundations are complete (Middle East Construction News, 25 June 2026). For a West home, NAHY works the resale route: the seller's Oqood, the payments already made into the Sharjah Islamic Bank escrow, and Palma's no objection certificate.

A 100,000 sq ft clubhouse inside West Residence

The shared heart of the district is the Serenia Signature Clubhouse, a 100,000 sq ft retreat over four levels in West Residence (TradeArabia, 15 April 2025). Palma's launch material lists:

• A panoramic infinity pool, a gym and a rooftop cafe
• Male and female spas
• An indoor paddle court, a half basketball court and a games room
• Retail and food and beverage spaces

Nikken Sekkei designed the district around the Japanese idea of Ireko. At 2.82% built, the clubhouse remains part of Palma's plan.

Jumeirah Islands for investors: sales and leases

An investor in Serenia District buys a new apartment in a community where most current trading is off-plan. The DLD recorded 1,393 sales in Jumeirah Islands from October 2025 to September 2026, 90.2% of them off-plan. Ejari counted 344 leases there in its latest 12 complete months, at a median of AED 225,000 a year, a figure that mixes every kind of home and says little about Serenia apartment rents. NAHY promises no return.

Palma and the Serenia name, from Palm Jumeirah to the lakes

Serenia District continues a name Palma first used on Palm Jumeirah, with Serenia Residences and Serenia Living. Palma says Serenia Living was completed on time and that most owners have taken over their homes (Middle East Construction News, 25 June 2026). Kareem Derbas is Palma's founder and chief executive. In the DLD developer data to 29 October 2026, Palma Homes Real Estate Development L.L.C holds four projects with 1,705 units, of which the two Serenia District entries hold 1,236.

Serenia District: questions buyers ask

Is Serenia District the same as Serenia Living?

No. Serenia Living is Palma's completed project on Palm Jumeirah. Serenia District is a separate six tower community on Jumeirah Islands, with West Residence and Serenia District East registered with the DLD and under construction.

Where is Serenia District?

On Jumeirah Islands, Dubai, which the DLD registers as Al Thanyah Fifth. Palma points to access towards Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Uptown Dubai and Emirates Living.

When will Serenia District be completed?

The DLD declares 31 December 2028 for West Residence, 2.82% built, and 30 June 2030 for Serenia District East, 1.12% built, at the last inspections in the data to 29 October 2026.

Who designed Serenia District?

The Japanese firm Nikken Sekkei, with a design based on the idea of Ireko.

Can I still buy in Serenia District East?

Palma publishes no count. The DLD recorded 122 sales against 813 units by 29 October 2026, 10 of them in October, so NAHY asks Palma what it can offer on WhatsApp at +971 55 650 7737.

How do I get the Serenia District price list?

WhatsApp +971 55 650 7737 and say East or West Residence and the bedrooms you want. NAHY sends Palma's price list, payment plan and floor plan for a unit Palma or a seller confirms.
