About 997 Residences

997 Residences Dubai Palm Deira Apartments With Sunken Balconies

997 Residences is a G+2P+8 residential building on Palm Deira, marketed under its rebranded identity as Dubai Islands. Developed by Reef Luxury Development, the building holds 63 units across one tower: 23 one-bedroom apartments, 36 two-bedroom apartments, 3 three-bedroom duplexes and 1 four-bedroom penthouse. Construction is scheduled to run from mid-2025 to March 2028.

The project's defining feature is a patented Climate-Controlled Sunken Balcony and Winter Garden system, claimed as the first of its kind in outdoor residential amenity design. Every unit incorporates this outdoor extension, positioning the building as a distinct entry among apartments in Palm Deira rather than a standard tower layout.

Reef Luxury Development Unit Mix and Layouts

One-bedroom units range from 776 to 1,062 sq ft, two-bedroom units from 1,220 to 2,187 sq ft. The three-bedroom configuration is delivered as a duplex spanning 2,492 to 2,550 sq ft, while the single four-bedroom penthouse occupies 6,022 sq ft with a private pool area, winter garden and dual dressing rooms.

Interior specification includes Bosch built-in kitchen appliances, Grohe bathroom fittings and Gutmann aluminium window and façade systems, all German-sourced brands intended to standardize finish quality across the unit mix, from the smallest one-bedroom to the penthouse.

Luxury Apartments Dubai Amenities and Shared Spaces

The first-floor amenity deck includes an infinity swimming pool, a separate kids' pool, jacuzzi, decking area, Baja shelf, cabana seating, a hammock forest area, BBQ zone, kids' playground, gym, yoga area, an outdoor cinema and a community vegetable garden. Several of these outdoor amenities, including the cinema and playground, are also enhanced with outdoor cooling technology consistent with the building's balcony innovation.

The lobby and corridor areas use a contemporary material palette and lighting scheme intended to carry the same design language from the entrance through to individual units.

Investment Case for Off Plan Palm Deira

With only 63 total units in a single building, buyer choice within 997 Residences is inherently limited compared to larger master-planned towers, which may support resale scarcity once the project reaches handover in 2028. As one of the more specific off plan Palm Deira listings on the market, the project's appeal rests on its unit-level amenity design rather than scale.

Buyers exploring off-plan projects in this part of Dubai should weigh the project's construction timeline (not started as of the brochure date) against standard off-plan risk factors, alongside the branded finishes and outdoor living concept as differentiators.

Location

Dubai Islands Location Context

997 Residences sits within Palm Deira, the community now marketed as Dubai Islands, a waterfront development off Dubai's northern coastline. The brochure positions the project around a beachfront setting, balancing an island retreat feel with proximity to central Dubai.

Specific distances to transport links, schools or retail nodes are not disclosed in the brochure. Prospective buyers should confirm current infrastructure status on Dubai Islands directly with the developer, given the area's ongoing phased development.
