About SERA 1
SERA 1 Mina Rashid Apartments Overview
SERA 1 is a residential development of 203 apartments spread across two towers within Mina Rashid, Emaar's waterfront district on Dubai's historic coastline. Tower A rises to ground plus podium plus 7 storeys with 96 units, while Tower B reaches ground plus podium plus 8 storeys with 107 units. Construction is scheduled to run from February 2026 to November 2029, positioning this as one of the newer off plan projects in Mina Rashid to enter the market.
The development sits within Rashid Yachts & Marina, a marina precinct built around a promenade of retail and dining outlets and a working yacht berth. For buyers scanning properties for sale in Mina Rashid, SERA 1 offers 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments aimed at end users and investors seeking exposure to a waterfront address with direct pool and water garden outlooks.
SERA 1 Dubai Design and Architecture
The facade treatment uses sand-toned finishes, reflective glazing and champagne-coloured accents intended to echo a nautical theme against the marina backdrop. Textured cladding and detailing are applied to break up the massing across both towers.
Internally, unit layouts prioritise pool, water garden and greenery views over the lower podium levels, with the low-rise height of both towers (7 and 8 storeys above podium) keeping most residences close to ground-level amenities rather than stacked in a high-rise format.
Amenities and Resort Living
SERA 1's amenity offering is built around a central water garden, leisure pool, and a mix of active and passive recreation spaces including a paddle court, basketball court, kids' play area, yoga decks, gym, BBQ area, amphitheatre and recreational lawn. This positions the project among Mina Rashid penthouses and apartment schemes that lean into resort-style shared facilities rather than compact podium amenities.
The wider Rashid Yachts & Marina masterplan adds a canal pool, community mosque, school, founders house and hotel components (including a Queen Elizabeth 2-linked hotel), giving residents access to facilities beyond the SERA 1 plot itself.
Location and Connectivity
Emaar markets the site as 18 minutes from the Al Shindagha Heritage District, 20 minutes from Downtown Dubai, 25 minutes from Dubai International Airport and 30 minutes from Dubai Marina. Nearby landmarks cited in the brochure include the Dubai Mall, Al Sabkha Gold Souq, Dubai Museum and Heritage Village, all reachable via Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road.
Mina Rashid Property Investment Case
SERA 1 is developed under the Mina Rashid Real Estate LLC entity, part of Emaar Properties, a developer with a market capitalisation of AED 71.7 billion (FY2023), AED 14.4 billion in revenue and 115,000-plus residential units delivered globally, with a further 42,200-plus units currently under development across 12-plus markets. The escrow account is held with First Abu Dhabi Bank.
For buyers weighing Mina Rashid property investment against other Emaar waterfront launches, SERA 1's low-rise format, marina-adjacent promenade and proximity to Downtown Dubai and the airport are the primary differentiators, backed by the group's scale as a track record signal rather than project-specific pricing, which has not yet been released publicly.
