Selina at Dubai Islands: Apartments, Townhouses and Penthouses from AED 2.6M
Selina at Dubai Islands is a residential project by Avenew Properties, located on the island cluster off the Deira coastline in northern Dubai. The development spans apartments, townhouses, and penthouses across a single building. Construction started in June 2025, with handover scheduled for June 2028.
Dubai Islands: The Location Case
Dubai Islands sits off the northern Dubai coastline, adjacent to the Deira district. Dubai International Airport is roughly 15 to 20 minutes by car. Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are around 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. The island group has been developed as a beachfront residential and hospitality zone. The waterfront address is the core proposition for buyers here, and the area is in active development, meaning the surrounding infrastructure is still forming.
From AED 2.6M to AED 10.3M
The price range spans AED 2.6M to AED 10.307M, which reflects the breadth of the unit mix rather than a single price band.
One-bedroom apartments start at AED 2.6M, sized from around 730 sq ft to 1,128 sq ft across two layout types. This is the project's lowest entry point.
Two-bedroom apartments begin at AED 4.05M, ranging from roughly 1,400 to 1,720 sq ft.
Three-bedroom apartments reach AED 10.307M, with sizes spanning approximately 1,420 to 3,040 sq ft. The gap between the smaller Type A layout and the larger Type B is wide enough that these function as different products despite the same bedroom count.
Three-bedroom townhouses run from 4,702 to 5,556 sq ft, and five-bedroom penthouses sit at approximately 6,517 sq ft. The bottom of the range suits an investor seeking an island address at a contained outlay; the top suits an owner-occupier wanting a large waterfront home.
What's in the Mix
The project offers three residential formats in one building.
Apartments span one to three bedrooms, with two distinct layout variants per bedroom count. The size variation within each bedroom category means buyers can compare floor level and orientation rather than just bedroom number.
Townhouses are three-bedroom units at substantial scale: 4,702 to 5,556 sq ft. These are large ground-level units for buyers who want horizontal spread rather than a high-floor apartment.
Penthouses are five-bedroom, at approximately 6,517 sq ft, the project's largest residential offering.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor & Landscaping | Landscaped Gardens |
| Food & Beverage | Restaurants |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Six amenities covers the lifestyle basics. The indoor pool and gym deliver year-round fitness options without leaving the building. Landscaped gardens and a children's play area push the target resident profile toward families. On-site restaurants reduce the dependency on mainland dining, which is a practical consideration for an island location. The overall set points toward longer-stay residents rather than short-term tenants.
Three Years to Handover
Construction broke ground in June 2025. Handover is targeted for June 2028, a 36-month build. Buyers purchasing now are entering an off-plan cycle of that length. Dubai Islands will continue to develop during that window, so the infrastructure picture at handover will differ from today's.
Getting In for 10%
| Milestone | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 40% |
| Handover | 50% |
The 10% down payment is a low initial commitment to secure an off-plan unit. Over the 36-month construction period, another 40% is due in staged instalments. The remaining 50% falls as a single payment at handover in June 2028. That final tranche is large: at the AED 2.6M entry price, it equals AED 1.3M at key collection. At the top of the range, the figure rises to approximately AED 5.15M in one payment. There is no post-handover instalment plan, so the full purchase price must be settled at or before key collection. The large handover tranche is the primary financing variable for buyers using a mortgage.
