Shione by Beyond

Shione by BEYOND on Dubai Islands

BEYOND's Shione development is located in Dubai Islands on Island B and is based on how water, light, and wind interact with each other. It was inspired by Japanese culture. Its architecture was created using three concepts: "Siora" (breeze), "Hado" (movement of waves), and "Mizu" (reflection) to create a relaxed coastal environment for its residences and public areas. The architect who worked on this project was RMJM, while Bergman did the interior design and Coopers Hill completed the landscape design. All of the residences have been built facing the water so that residents can enjoy uninterrupted views as part of their daily life.

The purchaser has the option of buying either a 1-, 2-, or 3-bedroom apartment, a 3- or 4-bedroom duplex, or an exclusive sky villa. One-bedroom apartments begin at about 867 square feet; two-bedroom apartments begin at about 1,297 square feet; and three-bedroom apartments begin at about 2,025 square feet. At this time, the property is being sold with a 50/50 payment structure that includes a 10% down payment when purchasing, 40% paid throughout the construction process, and 50% paid upon handover. Prior to making a decision regarding which home to purchase, each potential purchaser must review the exact location, floor level, and view available with each unit. As stated previously, commercial terms may vary; therefore, current pricing details have been left out of this description.

Japanese-Inspired Wellness and Sky Amenities

Shione places a great deal of importance on the design of the landscape, the well-being of the residents, and the social environments that are created. There is a large central lagoon-style swimming pool, which is surrounded by relaxing gardens. In addition to the lagoon-style swimming pool, residents can enjoy a health club and a wellness center located below the main water feature. Additionally, residents can use an outdoor gym, a sunken Jacuzzi, rock gardens, and meditation areas that have been developed based upon the softer elements of the Japanese-inspired concept. Finally, residents can become members of a beach club that will allow them to directly access the coastline and provide additional recreational opportunities.

The residential environment has both vertical and horizontal components. It includes 24 public sky terraces and 4 private sky terraces. These elevated environments are located on Level 17 of Block A and Level 12 of Block B, providing panoramic spaces that residents can relax in and interact with each other. There is also a gourmet chef’s kitchen and a cooking terrace capable of accommodating around 60-80 people. In addition, there are 14 food and beverage retail units located throughout the community, which provide additional dining opportunities for residents. A specialized creative area for children provides them with opportunities to participate in various creative pursuits, including origami and rice-paper painting. A picture can illustrate the multiple levels of architecture present in this development; a map can help residents understand how their home relates to the beach, and the larger Dubai Islands masterplan.

Island B Location and Handover

Island B will be one of the many new development sites that make up the growing Dubai Islands waterfront development. This site will feature about 6 km of beachfront. In addition to Island B, there are also approximately 45 other luxury hotels/resorts planned for construction, as well as a "Blue Flag" certified beach in the larger master plan for the area. As such, Shione is located in an area developed specifically for tourism, hospitality, and residential development. For example, Dubai Islands Beach is just 3 minutes away from Shione, and Dubai International Airport is about 8 minutes away.

The approximate travel times to the main business districts of Downtown Dubai (about 30 minutes) and DIFC (about 32 minutes) are both within reasonable driving distance from the development. Handover of the development is planned for the fourth quarter of 2020. There will be 865 parking spaces available throughout the different architectural components of the project. A key feature of Shione is that it will provide a waterfront living experience that has been designed with a wide variety of housing options as well as Japanese-inspired landscaping. Additionally, there are numerous wellness amenities that can be found in the development. All of these features combine to form a waterfront community that offers residents the opportunity to enjoy both the convenience of being located near major metropolitan areas as well as a more relaxed atmosphere for exercise, leisure activities, and social interaction.
