About
About Sera 1 at Rashid Yachts & Marina
Sera 1 is the quieter half of the Rashid Yachts & Marina argument. Rather than pushing every apartment onto the berths, Emaar has turned this release inward toward the water garden and the leisure pool, which is why the plans read as low rise and garden facing rather than tower and view driven. For an end user that translates into shorter lift rides, a podium you actually use, and a marina promenade reached on foot instead of by car. For an investor it means the entry ticket buys a community address at AED 2.11M rather than a waterfront premium, which is the part of Mina Rashid that has historically resold most easily.
The scheme is two residential buildings holding 203 apartments in one, two and three bedroom layouts, with handover set for Q4 2029. That date is the single most important number on this page. Buying here is a 2029 decision funded on 2026 to 2028 money, so the real question is not whether the marina works, it is whether an 80/20 schedule spread across four years suits your cash flow better than paying a completed price later. My read is that it does for buyers holding to handover, and does not for anyone who needs the asset liquid inside three years.
Emaar Properties is the marketing developer behind the community. The project documents place the group at AED 71.7 Bn market capitalisation for FY 2023, AED 14.4 Bn revenue as on 30 June 2024 and AED 5.3 Bn net profit for H1 2024, with 115,000+ residential units delivered, 12+ global markets and 42,200+ residential units currently under development.

Three tiers, and the spread between them is what decides the purchase. The one bedroom is the yield instrument and the cheapest route into a Golden Visa qualifying asset here. The two bedroom is where most end user demand in Mina Rashid has concentrated. The three bedroom is the scarcity play: at 1,679 to 2,050 sq ft it is closer to a family home than an investment unit, and there are far fewer of them in the building.

This is the developer's schedule of record for the release, not a live offer: the booking, October 2025 and April 2026 dates have already passed, so the instalments that actually apply depend on when a unit is reserved. A 4% DLD registration fee is payable on top of the purchase price. How the money moves matters as much as when, and my guide on how to pay for property in Dubai compares the methods international buyers use, from manager's cheques to large international transfers.

Why Me
Why Buy Sera 1 at Rashid Yachts & Marina Through Tohid Fetrat
On a project handing over in 2029, the advisor matters more than on a ready unit, not less. Someone has to track the build, keep the paperwork straight across four years of instalments, and still answer the phone in 2028.

Structure
Explore Sera 1 at Rashid Yachts & Marina Structure
Sera 1 does not stand alone: it is one release inside a masterplan that already carries a marina promenade, a canal pool, a mosque, a school, community facilities, a gym, the water garden and the Queen Elizabeth 2 berth. Before committing to a single building, most buyers want to see how the release sits against its neighbours, what the wider community is being built toward, and how the developer behind it has performed elsewhere.

Map
Explore Sera 1 at Rashid Yachts & Marina Location on Dubai Map
Sera 1 by Emaar Properties sits inside Rashid Yachts & Marina in Mina Rashid, the redeveloped historic port district at the mouth of Dubai Creek. Through Tohid Fetrat's Dubai Investment Map you can see exactly where the community sits against the rest of the city and compare it with waterfront releases elsewhere.
The position is northern coastal rather than central: Al Shindagha and the heritage district are the nearest landmarks, Dubai International Airport is a short run inland, and Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina sit progressively further along the coast road. That geography is the reason the entry price here is lower than comparable Emaar waterfront product further south.
Location
Sera 1 Location Within Rashid Yachts & Marina
Inside the masterplan, Sera 1 is set back from the berths and oriented around the water garden, with its two buildings sharing a podium and a pool courtyard between them. That placement is deliberate and it is the trade a buyer makes here: you give up the front row marina frontage that the promenade-facing releases hold, and you gain a quieter internal aspect, direct podium access to the landscaped amenity deck, and a lower entry price for the same community facilities. The promenade, the canal pool, the mosque, the school and the Queen Elizabeth 2 berth all remain a walk away rather than a drive. How the wider masterplan is phased is covered in my Rashid Yachts & Marina community guide.
Mina Rashid, DubaiConnectivity
Connectivity from Sera 1 at Rashid Yachts & Marina
Mina Rashid trades central minutes for coastal ones. The heritage district and the airport are the close destinations, while Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina are genuine drives rather than short hops, and buyers should price that honestly instead of pretending otherwise. The compensation is that the district is served by the Metro Green Line at Al Ghubaiba, which puts the Creek, Deira and the old city within reach without a car; my Dubai Metro guide covers how rail access shapes accessibility and long term value across the city.

Interiors
Interior Design at Sera 1
The specification here is calm rather than loud, and for once that is the right call: soft sand tones, reflective glass and champagne finished accents on the facade, carried inside as mirror and joinery wardrobe finishes, a specified countertop and backsplash to the kitchen, and coordinated flooring, paint and metal detailing. What matters more for daily life is the plan discipline behind it. Every Building A layout carries a private balcony and a walk-in wardrobe, kitchens open onto the dining space rather than sitting closed off, larger three bedroom plans add a maid's room, and ground and podium homes gain a terrace instead of a balcony.

Sera 1 at Rashid Yachts & Marina Frequently Asked Questions
Sera 1 is a residential development by Emaar Properties inside the Rashid Yachts & Marina waterfront community in Mina Rashid, Dubai. It comprises two residential buildings holding 203 apartments in one, two and three bedroom layouts, arranged around a water garden, a leisure pool and landscaped recreation decks.
Sera 1 sits inside Rashid Yachts & Marina in Mina Rashid, on Dubai's historic port waterfront. The developer states 18 minutes to Al Shindagha Heritage District, 20 minutes to Dubai International Airport, 25 minutes to Downtown Dubai and 30 minutes to Dubai Marina.
Sera 1 offers one, two and three bedroom apartments. One bedroom layouts run from 756 to 904 sq ft (70 to 84 sq m), two bedroom layouts from 1,200 to 1,534 sq ft (111 to 143 sq m), and three bedroom layouts from 1,679 to 2,050 sq ft (156 to 190 sq m). Every Building A layout includes a private balcony and a walk-in wardrobe.
Handover is scheduled for Q4 2029. The project is under construction at an early stage, which means most of the payment schedule still sits ahead of a buyer entering now. Progress against RERA inspection data is tracked in the Sera 1 construction updates guide.
Prices start at AED 2.11M ≈ USD 574K for a one bedroom apartment. Two bedroom apartments start at AED 3.19M ≈ USD 869K and three bedroom apartments at AED 4.38M ≈ USD 1.19M. The final figure depends on floor level, layout and outlook.
Sera 1 is sold on an 80/20 schedule: 10% on booking, seven further instalments of 10% dated between October 2025 and August 2028, and a closing 20% in November 2029. A 4% DLD registration fee is payable in addition to the purchase price.
Yes. All three tiers at Sera 1 start at or above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa, including the one bedroom apartments at AED 2.11M. The Sera 1 Golden Visa guide sets out the qualifying steps in detail.
Yes. Sera 1 is a freehold development, open to all nationalities, with no residency requirement attached to ownership. Buyers can hold the property personally or through an eligible company structure.
Yes. Reservation, the sales and purchase agreement and registration can all be completed from outside the UAE, and I manage the sequence end to end with Emaar on the buyer's behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
Buyer payments go into the project's DLD-registered escrow account rather than to the developer directly, and funds are released against verified construction progress under a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The mechanics for this project are set out in the Sera 1 escrow account guide.
