Palma awards US$207mn contract for West Residence in Jumeirah Islands

Dubai-based Palma Development has awarded a 760 million UAE dirhams ($206.94 million) construction contract to Khansaheb Civil Engineering for West Residence, the first residential tower within the AED5 billion Serenia District, a flagship master-planned community in Jumeirah Islands.

The 46-storey West Residence tower will feature 411 one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, alongside two exclusive penthouses, the developer confirmed in a statement. While no official completion date has been provided, the project is a significant addition to Palma Development’s expanding luxury portfolio in Dubai.

In July, Palma Development appointed APCC Piling & Marine Contracting to begin shoring and piling works for the tower, signalling the commencement of key foundational works.

The Serenia District is designed around six lifestyle zones: the Serenia Signature Clubhouse, Health and Social zone, Sports and Recreation spaces, Family Oasis, Nature Discovery zone, and a Wellness Retreat. This approach underlines Palma’s focus on creating a holistic and luxury residential experience in Dubai’s upscale communities.

Khansaheb Civil Engineering has a proven track record in the region, having successfully delivered Serenia Residences The Palm and currently executing Serenia Living on Palm Jumeirah. In April, Palma Executive Director Omar Derbas told Zawya Projects that the AED 3 billion Serenia Living on Palm Jumeirah’s West Crescent is on track for full completion by the fourth quarter of 2025.

With the West Residence project, Palma Development continues to strengthen its presence in Dubai’s luxury real estate market, offering modern, high-rise living in one of the city’s most sought-after master-planned communities.
