Master plan
The developer’s own site plan for The Serene, showing how the buildings, roads and open space sit together.

What you pay, and when
At launch, payments were staged 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% at handover. Buying now means a resale from a private owner, on whatever terms the two sides agree.
Registration with the Dubai Land Department adds 4% of the purchase price, roughly AED 60,000 at this resale price. That 20% booking payment is not paid to Sobha Realty directly: Dubai's Law 8 of 2007 requires a registered project to hold it in a RERA-supervised escrow account, drawn down against certified construction progress.
What the entry price works out at
The cheapest unit with a published size is 495 square feet at AED 1,400,000, which works out at AED 2,828 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 495 to 872 square feet.
Ownership and residency
The Serene is a freehold development, so a buyer of any nationality can own a unit outright and hold the title deed. The cheapest resale listed is below the AED 2,000,000 property threshold for the 10 year UAE golden visa, though 2 bedroom units here start at AED 2,500,000 and clear it on their own.
Who it suits
The development is apartments in 1 to 2 bedroom layouts. The developer has sold out, so anything available here is a resale from a private owner.
What is on site
The Serene records the standard Dubai block of shared facilities: indoor swimming pool, landscaped gardens, CCTV security, gymnasium, restaurants and children's play area. 12 floor plans are published for it.
