Silena by Avenew Development is a boutique residential project rising from the pristine shores of Dubai Islands (formerly Palm Deira). Derived from the Greek word for “moon,” Silena is crafted to capture the serene essence of moonlight reflecting off the Arabian Gulf. The development consists of a low-rise (G+7) architectural triad showcasing glass façades, travertine stone, and Murano glass accents, creating a “weightless” aesthetic that dissolves the boundaries between indoor luxury and coastal nature.
The project provides a curated collection of 137 units, including contemporary apartments, multi-level townhouses, and expansive penthouses. With a focus on quality over scale, Silena emphasizes a resort-style lifestyle in a private, low-density setting. Strategically located on Island B, the project is currently in its early development stages, with construction having commenced in late 2025 and an estimated handover in Q2 2028.
