Use this as a shortlist filter. Unit SPA papers override every marketing line.

Buyers shortlisting Sera 1 are looking at a marina-district apartment / townhouse product, not freestanding desert villas. Emaar’s card pairs 1–3 bedroom apartments with 3 bedroom townhouses. ^[1] Property Finder’s “Sera by Emaar” unit table, by contrast, only printed apartment sizes and price-from bands in our capture. ^[2]

Published filters (confirm on a dated unit list):

• From price — about AED 2.1M on both Emaar and PF ^{[1] [2]}
• 1 bedroom — roughly 728–1,029 sqft on PF type rows ^[2]
• 2 bedroom — roughly 1,223–1,921 sqft; PF from ~AED 3.4M ^[2]
• 3 bedroom apartments — roughly 1,701–1,704 sqft; PF from ~AED 4.5M ^[2]
• Townhouses — named by Emaar; no dual-locked size or price band on the PF card we saw ^{[1] [2]}

Neither primary page dual-locks a total home count. The portal’s one-building chip is useful context, not a substitute for stack plans. ^[2] Facilities only bind when the sale-contract exhibits list them for your unit. ^[1]

Delivery on public portals: Property Finder markets November / Q4 2029, with expected completion 30 November 2029. ^[2] Emaar’s Sera 1 product card we captured does not print a completion quarter. ^[1] Treat late-2029 as a sales estimate until the handover wording on your sale contract is clear.

Cash shape published on Property Finder (10/70/20): ^[2]

• 10% at sales launch / booking ^[2]
• 70% during construction, shown as seven instalments ^[2]
• 20% on handover ^[2]

On the official product page, payment plan still reads currently unavailable. ^[1] Build your calendar only from the developer instalment sheet attached to the unit you book.

PF also labels expected booking 26 February 2026 and construction start 27 February 2026. Those are programme chips, not site certificates. ^[2]

Builder: Emaar. Brand strength does not replace escrow checks, variation clauses or service-charge estimates for this launch. ^[1]

Community: Rashid Yachts & Marina is the Mina Rashid waterfront masterplan named on the Sera 1 page. ^{[1] [3]} Drive-time claims in brochures are not verified here.

Nearby Emaar stock to keep distinct: Sera 2, Aurea and Fior 2. Same district, different contracts — match the form to the home you picked.

1. Delivery can move — late-2029 / November 2029 is a portal stamp, missing from Emaar’s card, not a guarantee. ^{[2] [1]}
2. AED 2.1M is an entry filter — higher 2BR/3BR ladder prices on PF are also marketing. ^{[1] [2]}
3. Payment conflict — PF 10/70/20 vs official “payment plan unavailable”; only the SPA schedule settles cash. ^{[2] [1]}
4. Typology gap — townhouses appear on Emaar but not on PF unit cards at capture; match drawings to the product you want. ^{[1] [2]}
5. Name mismatch risk — Sera aliases (“Sera by Emaar”, Sera 1, Sera 2) can confuse paperwork if you do not check the printed product line. ^{[1] [2]}
6. Marina lifestyle vs legal rights — promenade imagery is not automatic title to berths or marina facilities. ^[3]
7. Amenity list soft — stills and amenity chips need exhibit attachment to bind. ^[1]
8. Empty inventory sample — blank Emaar priced rows at capture prove neither sell-out nor full availability. ^[3]

1. Confirm Sera 1 registration and escrow via Dubai Land Department tools before money moves.
2. On Emaar’s pack, check product name, unit ID, bedroom type, net area and parking already match the home you chose. Buyers read fixed developer forms — they do not rewrite them. ^[1]
3. Rebuild cash dates from the printed instalment table for that unit; ignore portal 10/70/20 as final. ^[2]
4. Read handover language on the sale contract against any marketed November / Q4 2029 window. ^[2]
5. Collect floor plans and net area for the exact layout; if you want a townhouse, demand townhouse drawings explicitly. ^{[1] [2]}
6. Confirm freehold (or other) title wording inside the sale contract, not only on a portal chip. ^[2]
7. Ask for a written service-charge estimate and which amenities attach to this release. ^[1]
8. If you are still comparing, treat Sera 1 and other Rashid Yachts launches as separate shortlist items.
