Serene Gardens II

About Serene Gardens II

Serene Gardens II is Prescott’s second phase of the same idea: a mid-rise residential block of 285 apartments, studios to three-bedrooms, fully furnished and fitted with smart-home technology, built around a double-height lobby and a landscaped podium. The developer’s promotional language — “the greenest area of New Dubai” — is borrowed from the district rather than the building, but the concept is real: a garden courtyard, a rooftop pool and a location that puts Ibn Battuta, the Marina and the Expo corridor within easy reach.

The cheapest entry of the four. A 397 sq ft studio is portal-listed at AED 599,000, or AED 1,509 per square foot — the lowest headline price in this portfolio, though not the lowest rate, which belongs to Fairway at 1,396. Only the studio is priced; the one-, two- and three-bedrooms are on application.

The location question, which is the important one. The developer’s own page says Discovery Gardens; its location line says “Discovery Gardens / Al Furjan”; the portal says Al Furjan. The two districts are adjacent but not interchangeable. Discovery Gardens is a mature, low-rise, Emaar-built grid of garden courtyards, mostly mid-market rental stock, with its own Metro station on the Route 2020 branch of the Red Line. Al Furjan is newer and quieter, more villas and townhouses, with its own Metro station on the same branch. A new tower on the seam between them could reasonably be described either way — but the title deed names one community, and that is the one that determines your service charge, your catchment and what buyers compare you with at resale.

The delivery question. The portal dates handover to Q2 2026, which has passed. Prescott’s Q2 2026 update puts the building at 64.03% — the most advanced of its four active projects, and still a third of a building away from completion. On those numbers a 2027 handover is the realistic reading. The developer publishes no handover date and no completion notice, so the contract is the only date that binds.

Two phases, neither delivered. Serene Gardens I — the first phase, also in Discovery Gardens — sits at 55.00% in the same August 2026 update. Prescott is running both at once, and the older phase is further behind than the newer one. That is not a scandal; phased developers do it. But it does remove the obvious reassurance: there is no finished Serene Gardens to walk through, and the best evidence of how this developer finishes a building of this type is a project that is also unfinished. If Serene Gardens I hands over first, its snagging record is the most useful thing you can look at before you commit to phase II.

The honest read. Serene Gardens II is the most complete of the four buildings and the cheapest to enter, in a location with something the other three lack — a Metro station within reach. It is also the project where the basic facts disagree: two communities in two sources, a passed handover date, no payment plan, no service charge. Settle the community question on the title deed and the delivery question in the contract, and it is a sensible furnished rental purchase; skip either and you are buying a description rather than a building.

Compiled November 2026 from Prescott Developments’ own Serene Gardens II project page (285 apartments, furnished and smart-home specification, amenities, travel times) and Quarter 2 2026 construction update (Serene Gardens II 64.03%, Serene Gardens 55.00%), and the listing portal’s record (studio price, Al Furjan, Q2 2026 handover), whose Serene Gardens II figures were last refreshed in May 2025. Not a valuation.

Layouts, sizes and price

One type priced, three on application:

At 397 sq ft the studio is the smallest unit in this portfolio and the second-cheapest on rate: AED 1,509 per square foot, between Fairway at 1,396 and Verano at 1,559. Fully furnished and smart-home fitted, it is built for a single tenant or a couple, and it competes directly with the older studios in Discovery Gardens one street away — which are bigger, plainer and cheaper. Know what those rent for before you accept the new-build premium.

The one- and two-bedrooms are the rows to ask about. In a 285-unit building they will be the family stock, and a two-bedroom priced under about AED 1.3 million would come in below AED 1,400 per square foot — better than the studio on rate and better on tenants. Prescott prices on application, so the number you are quoted is negotiable in a way a published one is not.

Ask, too, how the 285 apartments are split. A phase with a heavy studio weighting rents well in a strong market and discounts fast in a weak one; the mix tells you which risk you are taking.

Price and payment plan

No payment plan is published for Serene Gardens II, and no service charge. With a passed handover date, the schedule matters more than usual: if the building hands over in 2027 rather than 2026, the payments tied to construction milestones move with it, and the ones that do not move are the ones to ask about. The developer’s general FAQ confirms DLD registration at 4% plus administrative fees and registration within 60 days of sale.

About AED 635,000 to complete on the studio. Three questions specific to this building: which community is on the title deed, the revised completion date and delay clause, and what the service charge covers — a rooftop pool, a podium pool, a lazy river, a cinema and a games room on 285 apartments is a substantial annual bill, and the first estimate is usually the most optimistic.

If you are buying the furnished package, have the inventory written into the sale contract with the specification. It is the difference between a turnkey rental and a phone call six months after handover.

Amenities

The developer promotes seven amenities on the project page — cinema, games room, gym, outdoor seating, kids’ play area, gold podium and rooftop — and its body copy adds a double-height lobby and landscaped courtyards. The portal’s feature list adds adult and kids’ pools, a lazy river, a podium-level pool, a rooftop pool, a fitness centre, retail outlets, a supermarket and a restaurant or café.

That is a fuller programme than the render suggests, and three items need pinning down: two pools plus a lazy river in a 285-unit building, a supermarket and retail that are likely neighbouring tenants rather than building amenities, and the “gold podium”, which is a finish rather than a facility. Ask which amenities are inside the building and which belong to the wider community, then ask what the annual service charge is. In a district where the competing buildings are older and plainer, the amenity set is what justifies the premium — and the service charge is what erodes it.

Where it is

The building sits in the corridor between Discovery Gardens and Al Furjan, south of Sheikh Zayed Road and north of the Expo Road, one of the better-connected residential strips in new Dubai. The developer’s own travel times: Al Furjan Pavilion 10 minutes, Ibn Battuta Mall 10, Dubai Marina 15; Arcadia Global School 5, The Arbor School 10, The Winchester School 10.

The transport advantage is real and worth stating precisely: the Route 2020 branch of the Red Line has stations at Discovery Gardens and at Al Furjan. None of Prescott’s other three projects has a Metro station this close. Which station serves this building depends on which community it is actually in — another reason to settle the location question — and you should check the walking distance from the plot rather than from the district centre, because a 20-minute walk is not the same as a Metro address.

Everyday life is supplied by Ibn Battuta Mall and the Al Furjan Pavilion, with the Marina fifteen minutes away and the Expo site and Dubai Investments Park down the road. Schools and clinics are within ten minutes, which is the main reason families move here.

For a buyer, the district is a rental market with an unusual spread: older, larger studios in Discovery Gardens at the bottom, new furnished stock at the top. Find out where this building lands before you accept the developer’s rate. See our Al Furjan guide and Discovery Gardens guide.
