Sera 2

Sera 2 is a residential development by Emaar, located within the Mina Rashid waterfront district in Dubai. Comprising three buildings and 17 units in total, it offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments with completion scheduled for November 2029.

# Three Buildings on Dubai's Emerging Waterfront

Mina Rashid sits on the historic port side of Dubai, a district that has been repositioned over recent years as a marina-anchored residential address. Emaar's presence here follows a familiar pattern: the developer uses anchor infrastructure, in this case the Rashid Yachts and Marina, to anchor a longer residential pipeline around it.

Sera 2 is one such release within that pipeline. At 17 units across three buildings, this is a small, targeted offering rather than a large-scale launch. That scale has consequences for both the ownership experience, fewer residents means quieter shared amenities, and for any secondary market calculus a buyer might run.

The district itself is still forming. Buyers are, to some degree, placing a confidence bet on Mina Rashid's trajectory as a live-in neighbourhood, not just a weekend destination.

# Residences: Sizes, Layouts and Kitchen-Only Fit-Out

# The unit range

One-bedroom apartments start at 759 sq ft and extend to 858 sq ft, priced from approximately AED 2.12 million. Two-bedroom units run from 1,326 sq ft to just under 1,400 sq ft, with prices opening at AED 3.2 million. Three-bedroom residences occupy two distinct size brackets: a standard configuration at 1,663 sq ft, priced from AED 4.36 million, and a noticeably larger format at 2,554 to 2,583 sq ft, priced from AED 7.3 million.

That gap between the standard and larger three-bedroom options is substantial, both in area and price. The upper bracket is likely a different product type entirely, though buyers should confirm floor plan specifics directly.

All residences are delivered with kitchens fitted. Otherwise the apartments are unfurnished, leaving interior specification to the buyer. Service charges are indicated at AED 23 to 24 per sq ft per annum, which buyers should factor into holding costs, particularly on the larger units.

# Amenity Programming Across the Community

The amenity list at Sera 2 covers a reasonable spread for a boutique building cluster. A leisure pool, outdoor gym and yoga platform address the fitness dimension. Social infrastructure runs to a BBQ area, recreational lawn and an amphitheatre, which suggests Emaar has designed for communal use rather than purely private amenity.

A paddle court and basketball court add active recreation options that are often absent in smaller developments. The water gardens park and a dedicated kids' play area round out the offering. Given the building count of three, how these amenities are distributed and managed across the cluster is a practical question worth raising before exchange.

# Mina Rashid's Position in the City Grid

City Centre Al Shindagha sits roughly 3 km away, providing the nearest retail anchor. Wasl Community Park is 3.7 km out. La Mer public beach, one of the more popular stretches on the Jumeirah coastline, is approximately 6.7 km away.

Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa district are 13.9 km from the site. Dubai International Airport is 15.2 km, making this a practical location for frequent travellers. New Academy School is 5.1 km away for buyers considering the address as a family base.

The location is closer to Deira and the older city fabric than to the newer southern corridors around Dubai South or Mohammed Bin Rashid City. For some buyers that proximity to historic Dubai is a draw. For others, connectivity to the newer business districts will matter more.

# Who This Development Suits

Sera 2 addresses a specific buyer: one who wants exposure to an Emaar waterfront address in a district that is still appreciating in maturity, at a price point that sits below the flagship marina-facing towers but shares the same development ecosystem.

The limited unit count makes it less suited to portfolio investors seeking liquidity through volume. The kitchen-only fit-out positions it toward buyers who intend to specify interiors to their own standard, whether for personal use or high-specification rental. The larger three-bedroom formats, at over 2,500 sq ft and above AED 7.3 million, target a buyer who wants genuine living space at a waterfront address without paying the premiums that Downtown or Dubai Marina currently command.

Completion in November 2029 means buyers carry a four-plus year construction timeline. At the current readiness progress of zero, patience is part of the purchase.
