About Silena by AveNew
Architecture & Design
Silena Residences comprises two residential buildings on Dubai Islands — a beachfront site on Palm Deira — totalling 137 units across 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments, townhouses, and penthouses. The structures are designed as a triad of forms: planes of stone and glass appear suspended, with a full-height glass entrance that opens to views of the waterfront. Double-height volumes feature in the townhouse typologies, while penthouse levels are accessed via sweeping internal staircases.
Interior material choices are deliberately restrained: travertino marble flooring, hazelnut-toned and tobacco wood panels, bronze detailing, and iridescent Murano glass accents. The palette is drawn from coastal tones — sand, salt, and reflected light — rather than overtly decorative finishes. Terraces are wide enough to function as secondary living spaces, and the boundary between interior and exterior is minimised through full-height glazing throughout.
Unit Mix & Property Types
Building A holds 92 units: 48 one-bedroom apartments, 31 two-bedroom apartments, 5 three-bedroom apartments, and 9 penthouses (comprising quadruplex 3BR, simplex 4BR, duplex 3BR, and duplex 4BR configurations). Building B holds 45 units: 18 one-bedroom, 11 two-bedroom, 10 three-bedroom apartments, and 6 penthouses (duplex 5BR, duplex 3BR, and duplex 4BR). Ground-floor units in select configurations open onto private garden terraces; central-core units at elevated floors feature private pools facing the sea.
Amenities & Lifestyle Facilities
Shared amenities at Silena include a rooftop observatory with skyline views, a rooftop bar and secluded lounges, a state-of-the-art gym, a sunlit swimming pool, a dedicated barbecue area, and a central garden designed for yoga, meditation, and outdoor gatherings. The garden is positioned within the development's core and is landscaped with flowering terraces intended to provide a counterpoint to the surrounding coastal environment.
Select townhouse and ground-floor villa units benefit from private green spaces that connect directly to the broader landscape. Upper-level residences access private pools on wide terraces. The development's amenity programme is compact by Dubai standards, reflecting Silena's positioning as a boutique beachfront project rather than a large-scale resort-style complex.
Developer: Avenew Development
Silena is developed by Avenew Development, a Dubai-based company founded in 2024 and co-founded by Rasha Hassan. The developer is registered with DLD under the Arabic entity name شركة نخيل (ش.م.خ), with the escrow account held at Dubai Islamic Bank. As a newly established developer, Avenew positions itself around a curated, design-led approach to mid-scale residential projects. Silena is among its early-stage developments, with construction scheduled to commence in December 2025 and handover targeted for May 2028.
Investment Case: Dubai Islands
Dubai Islands (Palm Deira) is a large-scale waterfront master development with significant infrastructure investment committed by the Government of Dubai. Beachfront supply on the islands remains limited relative to long-term demand projections, while off-plan projects at launch typically benefit from pre-infrastructure pricing. With a DLD-registered handover of May 2028 and construction not yet started as of mid-2025, buyers are acquiring at an early stage in the delivery cycle, which historically corresponds to the greatest potential for capital appreciation as the island's infrastructure and hospitality offering matures.

Location
Dubai Islands Connectivity
Dubai Islands is an emerging destination within Dubai's wider portfolio of Dubai communities, with a planned programme of hotels, beach clubs, retail, and marinas. The site places residents within approximately 20 minutes of Dubai International Airport and around 30 minutes from Downtown Dubai via the E11 and E311. Deira's retail, dining, and transport nodes — including the Gold Souk Metro station — are accessible within 10–15 minutes by road.
Neighbourhood & Nearby Amenities
Dubai Islands is a developing master community with a planned programme of hotels, beach clubs, retail, and marinas. The immediate vicinity of Silena is characterised by direct beach access and low-density early-stage development. Existing Deira amenities — including City Centre Deira mall, established restaurant strips along Al Rigga, and the historic Deira Spice and Gold Souks — provide day-to-day convenience while the island's own destination infrastructure is built out through the late 2020s.
