Palma Launches Phase II of $1.8bn Jumeirah Islands Project

Palma Development has commenced the second phase of its Serenia District residential community in Jumeirah Islands, Dubai. The development is part of a master-planned project valued at AED 5 billion (approximately $1.36 billion).

The latest phase introduces two residential towers, East Residence 2 and East Residence 3, with premium apartments designed for the established residential neighbourhood.

The launch marks another construction milestone for the developer. It also expands the apartment offerings within Jumeirah Islands, an established community primarily known for its villas.

Two Residential Towers Planned Under Phase II

The second phase will introduce apartments across two separate towers. East Residence 2 will rise 25 floors and offer two-, three- and four-bedroom homes. Apartment sizes will range from 1,316 to 5,364 sq ft.

East Residence 3 will be a 23-storey residential tower. It will feature one- and two-bedroom apartments with sizes ranging from 875 to 1,605 sq ft.

The two towers will expand the residential options available within the community. Their configurations include:

• One- and two-bedroom apartments in East Residence 3.
• Two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments in East Residence 2.
• Apartment sizes ranging from 875 to 5,364 sq ft across both towers.

Construction Progress Across Serenia District

The commencement of Phase II follows progress on the project's initial phase. Foundation works at West Residence have been completed. Main contractor Khansaheb Civil Engineering has also started structural construction at the site.

Meanwhile, piling and other site operations are underway for the second phase. These activities form part of the development's construction programme.

International Architecture and Design

Japanese architectural firm Nikken Sekkei has undertaken the conceptual design of Serenia District. Godwin Austen Johnson (GAJ) is serving as the design architect.

Palma Development CEO Kareem Derbas said premium apartment options in Jumeirah Islands have remained limited. He said the project aims to address this supply gap through its location, architecture and lifestyle facilities.
