SLS Residences Palm Jumeirah: Branded Living on The Crescent
Roya Lifestyle Development is delivering SLS Residences Palm Jumeirah on The Crescent, the outermost arc of Palm Jumeirah. Construction began in August 2023. Completion is expected July 2026.
The Address and What It Means Day-to-Day
The Crescent is the outer ring of Palm Jumeirah, separated from the fronds by the island's internal waterways. It sits at the farthest point from the trunk and the Palm's main road interchange. Properties here face the open Arabian Gulf rather than the inner lagoon.
That geography has practical consequences. For someone commuting daily to DIFC or Downtown, the drive in and out is longer than from a frond address. For a buyer using this as a second home, or working close to the Palm, that trade-off matters less. The location suits a buyer who prioritizes maximum sea exposure and direct beach access.
What AED 9M to AED 47M Buys Here
The price range runs from AED 9,095,894 to AED 46,920,158. That spread reflects two distinct products sharing one address.
At the low end: 2-bedroom apartments starting at AED 9.09M. Two layout types cover different size points: 1,696 sq ft (Type 1) and 2,723 sq ft (Type 2), both at the same entry price. A buyer who wants more space picks the larger layout at no additional starting cost.
In the middle: 3-bedroom apartments starting at AED 17.7M, in two layouts: 2,272 sq ft (Type 1) up to 4,056 sq ft (Type 2). The larger 3BR is closer in scale to a standalone villa than a standard apartment floor plan.
At the top: 4-bedroom duplexes spanning 6,071 sq ft at AED 46.92M. These are lower-and-upper configurations, running across two connected floors rather than a single plate. The product mix means the project serves buyers at markedly different budget levels, with the same address and amenity set connecting them.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Beach Club, Shared Pool, Children's Pool, Community Park |
| Wellness | Shared Spa, Well-being and Fitness, Gymnasium |
| Family | Children Nursery, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
The Beach Club gives residents direct beach access within the development, without leaving the complex. The Shared Spa and Well-being and Fitness area alongside the gym point to a wellness offer that extends beyond a standard equipment room.
The Children's Nursery within the development is a practical facility for full-time families with young children. Alongside the children's pool and play area, the amenity set reflects a project planned for permanent residents, not primarily for investment holders.
Completion in Two Months
Expected completion is July 2026, approximately two months from today. For a buyer entering now, the off-plan waiting period has all but passed. The construction phase is nearly done, and the remaining exposure is the handover process itself.
That near-delivery status changes the entry calculus. Buyers commit to a project weeks away from completion, not a multi-year wait.
The 40% at Handover
The payment plan splits 20% down, 40% during construction, 40% at handover.
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 40% |
| At handover | 40% |
The 20% entry is manageable. The key figure is the 40% due at handover. On the 2BR starting price of AED 9.09M, that is roughly AED 3.6M payable at key collection. On the 4BR duplex at AED 46.92M, the same 40% works out to approximately AED 18.8M at the same moment.
There is no post-handover payment structure. The full balance clears at completion. Given that handover is expected in about two months, buyers entering now face the remaining construction instalments and the full handover payment in a compressed timeframe.
