Silena – Beachfront Residences on Dubai Islands
A low-rise beachfront building on Island B: 137 residences across eight levels, from one-bedroom apartments of 1,005 ft² to duplex townhouses, sky villas and penthouses past 12,000 ft². Rooftop infinity pool, wellness garden and a 50/50 plan; handover guided for Q2 2028.
Silena — The Boutique Beachfront Building on Island B
Silena is a low-rise beachfront address on Island B of Dubai Islands: 137 residences across eight levels, deliberately small against the towers going up around it. The mix is unusual — one to three bedroom apartments in the main stack, duplex townhouses with double-height ceilings at the podium and beach level, and sky villas and penthouses at the top, with unit sizes running from 1,005 ft² to over 12,000 ft². Be clear about what it is: this is an apartment building with villa-format units inside it, not a villa community.
AveNew Development
AveNew Development is a young Dubai developer founded in 2024, building its first delivery on Dubai Islands with a leadership bench drawn from Emaar and Nakheel. Silena is the company's debut project, and that is the honest headline risk here: there is no delivered building to inspect and no handover record to check.
What offsets it is the bench — an executive team with Emaar and Nakheel backgrounds and an advisory board that includes a former Emaar chief executive — and a deliberately small, boutique first project rather than a thousand-unit opening bet.
Silena — Island B, Dubai Islands
Island B is the family island of the Dubai Islands master plan, the same island that carries Bay Villas and the beachfront cluster. Access is over the Infinity Bridge into Deira, with the future island mall and the wider five-island plan around it. Note the caveat the whole archipelago shares: schools and day-to-day retail are still to come.

Silena
Boutique beachfront — with the debut-developer question attached.
Genuine ground-level villa formats on a beachfront island are rare. So is a first-time developer at nearly four thousand dirhams a square foot. Both facts belong in the same sentence.
Only 137 Residences
A low-rise of eight levels against the towers rising around it — the scarcity here is the building itself.
Villa Formats Inside a Building
Duplex townhouses with double-height ceilings at podium and beach level, and ground-floor units with private pools.
Sky Villas to 12,000 ft²
The top of the stack is sold as sky villas and penthouses, running past twelve thousand square feet.
Rooftop Infinity Pool
A panoramic rooftop pool, lounge deck, water bar and wellness garden serve the whole building.
Beachfront on Island B
The family island of the master plan, the same one that carries Bay Villas — with the beach at the door.
The Honest Caveat
AveNew was founded in 2024 and this is its first delivery. The bench is ex-Emaar and ex-Nakheel, but there is no handover record to check.
Property Types & Floor Plans
rate of 2026-08-10
A 50/50 plan — 10% on booking, 40% through construction, 50% on handover.
Silena sells on an interest-free 50/50 structure: 10% at booking, 40% across construction and the remaining half on handover, guided for Q2 2028. The 4% DLD registration fee is charged on top of the price. On a debut developer, weigh the back-loaded half against the absence of a delivery record.
Why Silena is a Considered Dubai Islands Buy
For Growth
Entry sits around AED 2.6M for a one bedroom, with the sky-villa tier listed to AED 24.6M. Registered transactions on the building run at Palm-adjacent rates per square foot — which is the number to interrogate: you are paying mature-island pricing on an island whose schools, retail and mall are still ahead of it.
For the Long Hold
Genuine ground-level villa formats with private pools on a beachfront island are structurally scarce, and only 137 residences exist here. The honest counterweight is concentration of risk: a 2024-founded developer, a first delivery, and an island still building its everyday infrastructure. This is a conviction purchase, not a default one.
