Palma Development, a leading name in Dubai’s luxury real estate sector, has announced the appointment of APCC Piling & Marine Contracting to commence shoring and piling works for West Residence, the first residential tower within the Serenia District. This marks a significant milestone in the development of Serenia District, a AED5 billion master-planned community located in the prestigious Jumeirah Islands.
Project Scope and Vision
Spanning over 600,000 square feet of land with a total built-up area of 3.5 million square feet, Serenia District is set to redefine urban living in Dubai. The community will be delivered in phases and will feature six distinct towers, each integrated around a unique lifestyle offering. Residents of Serenia District will enjoy an array of world-class amenities, including the Serenia Signature Clubhouse, an amenity-rich podium level, the Serenity Lake, and extensive landscaping designed to promote wellness, leisure, and community connection.
The first phase introduces West Residence, a 46-story tower featuring 419 meticulously crafted one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, each offering stunning views of Jumeirah Islands and its surroundings. The development is poised to set a new benchmark for luxury living, combining architectural excellence with a focus on resident well-being.
Architectural Design
The design of Serenia District draws inspiration from the Japanese Ireko philosophy, emphasizing serenity, simplicity, and the mindful use of space. This concept is brought to life by Nikken Sekkei, Japan’s leading architectural firm and the third-largest globally, ensuring that the community stands as a model for modern, harmonious living. The project features a dynamic starlight façade, inspired by natural elements, which evolves beautifully from day into night, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the community.
