Specifications for Sensoria at Five Luxe per Propsearch and the Dubai Land Department. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
Sensoria at Five Luxe is a 42-storey residential building in Jumeirah Beach Residence, completed in 2025.
The developer is Skai Holdings.
The database currently holds 5 lots in this project, from 6 000 000 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 7%.
The larger-format sibling tower to FIVE Luxe on JBR beach. Our own stock shows the highest price per square foot of any project on the beach — AED 6,943 — across the largest average unit size in our table.
Sensoria at FIVE Luxe shares its site and hospitality brand with FIVE Luxe next door, but sells at a distinctly larger average format — 4,134 sq ft against FIVE Luxe's 1,572 — and at the top of the entire JBR price table.
Our own stock: five lots averaging AED 6,943 per square foot, the highest rate on the beach in our data, including against the branded Address and One JBR addresses.
Sensoria leads the entire district table — above The Address JBR, above One JBR, and nearly four times the rate of the oldest 2007-era clusters a short walk down the same sand.

| The Address JBR | 5715 | 5 | 1863 ft² | new |
| One JBR | 5036 | 3 | 2155 ft² | new |
| FIVE Luxe | 5004 | 5 | 1572 ft² | new |

| Shams | 1840 | 5 | 1938 ft² | 2007 |

| Murjan 5 | 1638 | 3 | 1893 ft² | 2007 |
| Rimal | 1628 | 2 | 1900 ft² | 2007 |
Our own stock as of 28 August 2026: 93 lots across the district, median AED 4.5 million, average AED 3,479/ft². Projects with three or more lots and a known area; Amwaj and Rimal are shown with smaller samples. One beach, two price tiers.
Large average size and the highest price per foot together point to a genuinely different product from the rest of the beach: fewer, bigger, more expensive units rather than the compact hotel-style format most of JBR's new generation sells.
For an international buyer weighing this against similarly positioned large-format beachfront residences elsewhere — Miami's premium waterfront towers, a large branded unit on a Spanish coast — Sensoria is the JBR equivalent of that category, priced accordingly.
As with the tower it shares a brand with, confirm whether a specific unit is owner-controlled or under compulsory hotel management before treating the price as directly comparable to an ordinary residential purchase.
Our own stock as of 28 August 2026: 5 lots (size, price per square foot), price-per-square-foot table across JBR projects.
