Layouts and the handover date come from the sales-launch announcement; the date
of that announcement is shown next to the prices. It is what the developer
claimed at launch, not a registry record — off-plan, phasing and dates get
revised. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
About the building
A residential building in Dubai Islands, currently under construction. Developer — Avenew Developments.
Specifications for Silena as published by the developer — the project is under construction, so there is no Land Department record yet.
They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
About the project
Silena is a residential building in Dubai Islands, handover is due Q2 2028.
The developer is Avenew Developments.
The building holds 137 apartments in total. Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms.
No lots from this project are in our database today. It is topped up every night, so listings for the building can turn up on any day.
A boutique building of 137 apartments with its own private beach on Island B of the Dubai Islands archipelago. One-bedrooms at 730 sqft start from AED 2.6 million, completion in Q2 2028.
Size as the product
137 apartments is small for an island project. A small unit count means less strain on shared amenities and fewer neighbours coming onto the rental market at the same time as handover.
A private beach at that resident count isn't just a claim — it's a genuinely workable arrangement: with just over a hundred apartments, there's enough shoreline to go around.
Pricing
A one-bedroom at 730 sqft starts from AED 2.6 million. A two-bedroom at 1,274 sqft starts from AED 4.1 million. A three-bedroom at 2,384 sqft starts from AED 9.7 million. Townhouses at 3,642 sqft start from AED 13.5 million. Penthouses at 4,632 sqft start from AED 60 million.
The launch argument: a price under $10,000 per square metre on an island with its own beach is rare for this location.
Payment plan
10% on booking, 40% during construction, 50% on completion. Half the price falls due once the property can already be inspected — a buyer-friendly profile.

Nothing in the stock for this project right now
Listings for Silena do not turn up every day. Message me — I will check the closed bases and suggest similar options nearby, in Dubai Islands.
The final payment on this building falls in 2028 — under off-plan plans that is
40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security,
and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and
we will look at what the developer will accept.
The sales-launch announcement says Q2 2028. The date in the contract for a particular unit can differ — I check it before the deal.
What layouts are there in Silena?
1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom, according to the sales-launch announcement. Which sizes are actually free right now depends on what is on the market; I will send the current list.
Where is Silena?
Dubai Islands. The reclaimed islands off Deira, formerly Deira Islands: beaches, hotels and new residential on the northern coast.
How much does an apartment in Silena cost?
No open lots for the building today. I will check the price of the layout you are after in the closed databases and send it with every cost of the deal worked out.
A 1 425 m bridge across Dubai Creek will link Dubai Islands directly to Bur Dubai: four lanes each way, 16 000 vehicles an hour, 18.5 m above the water. The AED 786m contract targets completion by the end of 2026. What the bridge changes for the islands and the old city.
CG Developers is building Dubai's first JW Marriott residence, priced from AED 1.72 million with a Q1 2028 handover. In parallel, Nakheel has awarded a AED 527 million contract for Island B's core infrastructure — roads, water and sewage for a future 49 000 homes.
A chain of reclaimed islands under a single government master plan. Almost no coastal land with direct beach access is left inside the emirate — and one or two new projects launch here every month. The opportunity and the risk are the same fact.
A developer building on the Dubai Islands. Between handover and the first tenant there is a list of connections and registrations, and every one of them needs someone on the ground.
A developer building on the Dubai Islands. The dirham’s peg to the dollar shapes the currency risk for every foreign buyer — and the transfer mechanics have costs of their own.
A developer building villas on the Dubai Islands. A house bought off-plan on new land combines two kinds of waiting, and they resolve on different timetables.
A developer with two projects on the Dubai Islands. Beach access is sold as a feature and defined as a legal arrangement — and the two are not always the same thing.
A mid-market company that went from a handful of projects to a large pipeline in a few years. What rapid growth does to risk, and the specific evidence that separates a good scaler from a stretched one.
The state developer behind Palm Jumeirah and the Dubai Islands. The difference between a master developer and a building developer, and why it matters for what you own.
Where this project stands today
I will send the available layouts, the real entry price and what owners and tenants actually say about the building — without the brochure language.
