Serra

About the project

Serra is a residential apartment project in Ghaf Woods, within the Wadi Al Safa 4 area of Dubai Land. Majid Al Futtaim Ghaf Woods is developing 10 low-rise buildings containing 535 apartments. The project is active, with construction completion recorded at 38.43% following an inspection dated 6 July 2026.

A 10-building residential cluster

Serra comprises 10 buildings, each planned at ground level plus five floors. The development contains 535 apartments across a total project area of 66,141.01 square metres. Its architecture is defined by an elegant modern design and a low-rise building format rather than tower construction. Serra forms one of the first clusters introduced at Ghaf Woods, a residential district arranged as a series of landscaped clusters. The project sits within the wider Dubai Land master area in Wadi Al Safa 4, where the community is structured around planted open spaces, walking routes and residential buildings.

Ghaf Woods landscape and neighbourhood design

Ghaf Woods is planned across a 738,000-square-metre site with 11 clusters set within a rehabilitated landscape. The community design centres on a forest-like setting, biodiversity and water-sensitive landscaping. The wider planting strategy includes drought-resilient native species, enriched soils, water capture and treatment measures, and dedicated water-capturing technology to support vegetation. The community is planned to include an anticipated 35,000 trees and more than 20 bird species. A tree nursery associated with Ghaf Woods is stated to grow more than 30,000 trees and 350,000 shrubs. Serra’s setting combines this wider landscape programme with a walkable neighbourhood layout and broad green areas.

Amenities within the wider community

The Ghaf Woods plan incorporates amenities intended for relaxation, adventure, exercise and wellbeing. A centrally located Forest Experience Centre is planned as a place for interactive programming and engagement with the landscape. The public realm is designed to place everyday amenities within a short walk of residential clusters. The wider masterplan also includes a planned forest-integrated retail and leisure destination. The sales and experience centre for Ghaf Woods has achieved LEED Platinum certification. These community elements are part of the wider Ghaf Woods development, which is being delivered in phases alongside residential clusters including Serra, Lacina and Capria.

The developer

Majid Al Futtaim Ghaf Woods is the developer of Serra and the Ghaf Woods community. The developer introduced Ghaf Woods as a community concept in Dubai Land, with a masterplan based on low-rise residential clusters within a planted landscape. Serra is one of the first clusters in this phased development. The developer’s community plan combines residential buildings with a Forest Experience Centre, landscape infrastructure and a planned forest-integrated retail and leisure destination. The project’s design approach places emphasis on energy-efficient building layouts, water management strategies and native planting.
