The brief
Zephyra Residences is a residential high-rise being built on Dubai Islands, on the Deira side of Dubai, by Arsenal East. It is specified at 14 storeys.
The unit mix named for the project runs from one-bedroom to three-bedroom apartments, and duplex and penthouse units are listed alongside them.
Dubai Islands is a Nakheel master development of man-made islands off Deira, formed from land left by Palm Deira, a scheme cancelled early in its construction. Until August 2022 it carried the name Deira Islands; the rebrand came that month, with Nakheel's announcement of the current masterplan.
The masterplan names five islands:
Across the islands, the plan provides for over 20 kilometres of beaches and roughly two square kilometres of open space and parks. These are masterplan figures, and much of what they describe is still to be delivered.
Several parts of the islands are already in use.
The Night Market. Finished in 2018 under its earlier name, Deira Islands Night Souk, the market counts 5,300 shops, with almost 100 cafés and restaurants along the quayside.
Hotels. The Centara Mirage resort, the first Centara property in the UAE, is run under a 2017 joint venture between Nakheel and Centara Hotels & Resorts. It has 600 keys, with a waterpark, a kids' club, a spa and a fitness centre. A second resort, RIU Dubai, built by Nakheel with RIU Hotels & Resorts, opened in December 2020 as a four-star resort with a water park: 33 storeys, 800 rooms and a rooftop pool deck.
The marina. Nakheel Marinas Dubai Islands opened in May 2023 on the northern coastline. It can berth up to 13 superyachts at once, and offers wet berths numbering 248, for boats of up to 47 metres, plus dry berths, 40 of them, for trailers of up to 20 metres.
Beaches. Eight Nakheel beaches carry Blue Flag accreditation, and Dubai Islands has at least one of them. Nakheel has reserved part of the eastern beach as one where dogs are allowed in the water.
Access. The Infinity Bridge links the islands to the mainland. The RTA has announced a further bridge to Bur Dubai as part of the Shindagha Corridor Project.
The Centara Mirage resort is 1.1 km from the Zephyra Residences site and Dubai Islands Beach is 1.2 km away. The Hyatt Regency Dubai is 1.5 km off and the Novotel Dubai Gold District hotel is at 1.6 km. Within four kilometres are Dubai Heritage Village at 2.9 km, then Dubai Museum at 3.1 km, the Vox cinema in Al Shindagha Mall at 3.3 km, the Queen Elizabeth 2 at 3.8 km and Maritime City Park at 3.9 km.
