Silena — Dubai Islands
(by Avenew Development)
Overview
Silena is coastal living minus the cliches: two low-key, elegant buildings, glass that frames the water instead of shouting at it, and floor plans that behave on a Tuesday as well as they impress on a Friday. The vibe is “deep breath, keys down, shoes off”, with the city still close enough to keep life moving.
Address & Setting
Within the Dubai Islands, Silena gets the good stuff: open horizons, cleaner air, and an easy waterfront loop for morning steps or late walks. You’re in a masterplan that’s adding cafes, boardwalks, and everyday services at a steady clip, so errands stay local and weekends don’t require a logistics memo.
The Buildings
Two sibling structures, Building A and Building B, share a language of calm architecture and generous glazing. Same family, slightly different personalities.
- Building A (92 homes): 48 × 1-bed apartments • 31 × 2-bed • 5 × 3-bed
Penthouses: 3 × Quadruplex (3-bed) • 1 × Simplex (4-bed) • 2 × Duplex (3-bed) • 2 × Duplex (4-bed) - Building B: 45 residences across a mix of 1–3 bed formats (final public breakdown pending).
Tip: If you like quieter stacks, B often reads slightly more boutique simply by count.
Homes & Floor Sense
Layouts are drawn wide so living–dining, balcony feel like one conversation. Kitchens face the action; bedrooms get the calm. Storage shows up where it should (entry, linen, utility), so the hallway doesn’t become a display shelf for everything you own.
Penthouse stories (quadruplex, duplex, simplex) are about vertical drama without the awkward corners, think real terraces, staircases that invite art, and rooms that hold a long table without apologising to the sofa.
Lifestyle, Not Just Amenities
Silena leans into waterfront routine: morning light on the balcony, an amble along the edge, coffee where the breeze actually lands. The masterplan brings parks, running/cycling spines, and shoreline hangouts; your building adds the expected comforts, pool, a proper gym, a concierge tone that’s helpful rather than theatrical, and calm lobbies that aren’t perfume-forward. (Final spec sheets vary by release; confirm the exact amenity set when you shortlist.)
Who Shortlists This
- People who want beach-adjacent calm without surrendering connectivity.
- Buyers who prefer a design that stays quiet and lets space do the work.
- Investors who know limited, water-forward inventory photographs like a dream and rents on the first weekend when staged right.
Location Logic (quick)
Dubai Islands gives you clean in-and-out routes and a shoreline that isn’t gridlocked at sunset. With road links toward the old city and the Marina spine, you can work downtown-adjacent and come home to horizon lines, no drama.
