Sera 1

Sera 1 is a residential tower by Emaar at Mina Rashid, the marina district taking shape along Dubai's historic Deira waterfront, with delivery scheduled for the end of 2029.

# The tower and its position within Mina Rashid

Mina Rashid is one of Emaar's larger-scale waterfront undertakings in Dubai, built around a working marina that accommodates up to 430 wet berths for vessels up to 100 metres in length. Sera 1 sits within the Rashid Yachts and Marina precinct, a mixed-use strip that combines residential buildings with a marina services operation, retail, and a food and beverage offering along the waterfront edge.

The single building comprises 22 residences. That is a notably small count for an Emaar release, which typically suggests a degree of selectivity in the unit mix and floor plate design. The architecture draws on coastal references: sand-toned facades and an orientation that responds to the marina setting rather than turning away from it.

# Residences, sizes and specification

Units range from 756 sq ft to 2,050 sq ft, a spread that implies a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments alongside three-bedroom townhouse formats. Pricing runs from approximately AED 2.11 million to AED 4.55 million, reflecting the variation across the size and floor range.

Interiors are delivered unfurnished, with an open-plan configuration and large windows designed to bring marina views into the living space. The specification is in line with what Emaar delivers across its mid-to-upper tier: premium finishes, well-proportioned rooms, and a focus on natural light.

Outdoor space is built into the residential offer. Townhouse buyers in particular will find a format that is genuinely scarce within a marina context.

# What the precinct provides

The Rashid Yachts and Marina master plan includes swimming pools, a gym, yoga platforms, paddle and basketball courts, an amphitheatre, landscaped promenades, water gardens, BBQ areas, and children's play zones. The marina itself operates with a multilingual team around the clock, offering berthing on terms ranging from a single night to annual arrangements.

For residents who do not own a yacht, the waterfront infrastructure still shapes the experience. The promenade, the restaurants, the marina activity: these are the daily textures of life in the precinct.

# Access and the surrounding district

Mina Rashid occupies a position between old Deira and the southern approach to Dubai Creek. The location carries proximity to the historical commercial core of the city, which is undergoing sustained investment through the Dubai Creek Harbour and wider Deira regeneration programmes. Road access connects to both the airport corridor and the central business districts to the south.

# Who Sera 1 suits and where it sits in the market

At 22 units, Sera 1 is a concentrated release in a district that is still in its early phases. Buyers who enter now are acquiring at a point when the surrounding infrastructure, restaurants, and community density are not yet fully formed, which carries both a pricing opportunity and a degree of patience required before the precinct matures.

The buyer profile is likely someone acquiring a second home or an income-generating asset in Dubai, drawn by the marina setting and the Emaar name as a delivery assurance. The townhouse formats within a waterfront building will appeal to European and GCC buyers seeking something other than a standard high-rise apartment. With completion set for December 2029, the investment horizon is four-plus years from current sale, fitting a medium-term capital appreciation thesis rather than an immediate rental play.
