If you already like Tower 3 on the east side of Serenia District, this page is for that building — not a vague “any East Residences unit” shortlist. Palma Development’s article presents East Residence 3 as a Nikken Sekkei collaboration on the lively edge of the district, with water toward Jumeirah Islands and city energy toward JLT. [1]

Property Finder’s tower-only card is concrete: one building, freehold chip, 1- and 2-bedroom size tables, open near AED 1.96–2.0M, cash structure 10/50/40, and a keys target of June / Q2 2030. [2] Propsearch maps the same asset as East Tower 3 (about 28 floors) and already shows DLD pre-registration deals tagged East Residence 3. [3] [4] OffplanInsight is independent research for buyers. The signed sale contract still wins on price, cash dates and unit ID. Start with how we work.

Who it’s for

People shortlisting a specific east-Serenia tower who like the lake-plus-JLT orientation Palma describes, can hold cash toward a public June/Q2 2030 keys aim, and will only book after Tower 3 plans and printed instalments are clear. [1] [2]

Who it’s not for

Anyone who needs keys well before 2030; buyers who only want a loose “any East Residences unit” story without checking the tower name; people confusing this with Palma’s Palm Jumeirah Serenia products; anyone who will not open Tower 3 plans and registration records.

Use high/med lines for shortlisting only. Your pack still has to name tower, unit and cash dates.

Product shape

Think of three nested labels. Serenia District is the master place. East Residences is the multi-tower east package. East Residence 3 is the single tower this page owns — Propsearch’s East Tower 3. [3] [1]

PF publishes layout ranges for this tower alone: [2]

  • One-beds — roughly 851–2,082 sqft, marketed from about AED 1.96–2.0M [2]
  • Two-beds — roughly 1,174–2,688 sqft, marketed from about AED 4.0–4.01M [2]

Wider East-cluster sold history on portals can show three- and four-beds under the parent label. That does not prove those beds sit inside Tower 3 — open this building’s plan set first. [2]

Decide the tower after a visit or a clear plan pack, then check the booking form and sale contract already print East Residence 3 (not a soft “Serenia East” line and not Tower 2/4/5/6). You read the developer’s fixed form; you do not rewrite it. [2]

Nearby labels to keep apart:

Stills sell calm massing and evening light. Multi-level podium, pools, large gym and community hub language are marketing until brochure exhibits list delivery. [1]

Payment plan and timing

Keys on the portal: PF shows Q2 2030, June 2030, and expected completion 30 June 2030 for this tower. [2] Public calendars move. Written keys wording in the sale contract is what you can enforce.

Cash structure on PF only:

  • 10% at sales launch [2]
  • 50% across five construction instalments [2]
  • 40% at handover [2]

Expand that badge into dated lines from the pack you are given. The portal 10/50/40 stamp is not a signed schedule. [2]

PF also stamps construction start 17 March 2026. [2] A 2026 booking against a mid-2030 keys aim is roughly a four-year cash runway if the target holds — model a delay.

Area and developer context

Who sells it: Palma Development. Palma Holding hosts the East Residence 3 article; Propsearch ties the East complex to Palma Homes Real Estate Development under the same family. [1] [4] Check the legal seller string on the reservation sheet — marketing brands are not SPV names.

Where it sits: Serenia District in Jumeirah Islands. [1] [2] Palma’s copy leans on lake views one way and JLT energy the other. Minute-to-mall claims and amenity renders do not fix your unit outlook, service charge or keys date.

Risks and open questions

  1. Wrong tower on paper — East Residences spans several buildings. A form that only says “Serenia East” is incomplete for Tower 3 diligence. [4]
  2. Open price vs samples — PF opens near AED 1.96–2.0M while some DLD 1BR rows on East Residence 3 sit near AED 1.77M. Treat opens as filters. [2] [4]
  3. Bed mix scope — this card is 1–2BR; parent-cluster history can show larger beds. Confirm Tower 3 inventory. [2]
  4. Storey figures — Propsearch ~28 floors; secondary pages sometimes disagree. Prefer drawings in your pack. [3]
  5. Long runway — multi-year instalments before a 2030 keys aim. [2]
  6. Amenity vs exhibits — multi-pool podium and large-gym claims need brochure exhibits, not only the marketing article. [1]
  7. Palm Jumeirah Serenia — different Palma product family; wrong SPA if mixed up.

Diligence checklist before money moves

  1. Confirm registration and escrow through Dubai Land Department channels before any booking deposit.
  2. On the booking form and sale contract, check the printed product already says East Residence 3 (or the exact tower string you chose), plus unit, net area and parking — you do not author Palma’s template.
  3. Rebuild instalments yourself from the printed schedule; do not stop at the PF 10/50/40 badge. [2]
  4. Get written keys language against the public June / Q2 2030 target. [2]
  5. Tie every price to tower + unit + floor + net area; use DLD samples only as context. [4]
  6. Ask for service-charge estimates and what community hub access includes.
  7. Read plans for balcony, view and bed type — not marketing stills alone.
  8. Keep sister East towers and Palm Jumeirah Serenia out of this booking.
  9. Use our due diligence guide for the wider booking sequence.

Bottom line

Bottom line: Tower 3 is a single Palma lakeside mid/high-rise inside Serenia District East, with PF open near AED 1.96–2.0M on marketed 1–2BR stock, a portal 10/50/40 cash badge, and a June 2030 keys aim. [2] Choose the tower first, then check the form already names East Residence 3 — not a sister East tower or a Palm Jumeirah Serenia product. Independent research, not developer disclosure.

FAQ

Who is behind East Residence 3?

Palma Development markets the tower; Palma Holding publishes the product article; Property Finder lists Palma Development. Propsearch also names Palma Homes Real Estate Development under Palma Holding for the East complex. Match the legal seller on the sale contract. [1] [4]

Where does the tower sit?

Serenia District East in Jumeirah Islands — lakeside master community, separate from Palm Jumeirah. [1] [2]

What does the open price look like?

PF’s FAQ lists AED 1,958,000 as a starting price, with a launch chip near AED 2M and one-beds from about AED 2M. Two-beds open near AED 4.0–4.01M on the same card. Some DLD pre-registration one-beds on East Residence 3 have printed lower, near about AED 1.77–2.08M. Ask for a dated unit offer. [2] [4]

When might keys arrive?

The tower card points to June / Q2 2030, with expected completion 30 June 2030. Public targets move; the sale contract and handover notice control. [2]

How is the payment plan shown online?

PF shows 10% at sales launch, 50% during construction in five instalments, and 40% at handover. Marketing structure only — rebuild dates from your pack. [2]

How is this different from Serenia District East Residences?

East Residences is the multi-tower east cluster (Towers 2–6 on Propsearch). East Residence 3 is one named tower inside that cluster. Keep the tower string clear on the form. [4] [2]
