Layouts and the handover date come from the sales-launch announcement; the date of that announcement is shown next to the prices. It is what the developer claimed at launch, not a registry record — off-plan, phasing and dates get revised. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.

These are the starting prices as of the date shown, not today's list: off-plan they are revised several times a year, and more often upwards than down.

About the building
A residential building in Downtown Jebel Ali. Developer — Samana Developers.
About the project
Samana Downtown One is a residential building in Downtown Jebel Ali, handover is due Q4 2029.
The developer is Samana Developers.
Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — studios, 1 and 2 bedrooms.
There is not a single lot in this project in the database right now — it is refreshed every night, and listings here appear and go.
How many deals this location is doing
4.7% of the month's registrations in Dubai
That is the share of every off-plan deal in the emirate for the month that went to Jebel Ali Downtown — out of 9 475 registrations. For scale: off-plan accounts for 72.8% of the market as a whole, so the bulk of the city's turnover runs through construction rather than through finished homes.
🔴 This is a figure for the location, not for this building. A cluster holds dozens of towers with different handover dates and prices, and a high share means there is a lot of supply here and a lot of deals — not that this particular tower sells better than its neighbour. On a resale that cuts both ways: liquidity is higher, but so is the number of flats competing with yours.

Ask about this project Handover payment
A mortgage covers the final instalment
The final payment on this building falls in 2029 — under off-plan plans that is 40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security, and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
- Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
- 3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
- 6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and we will look at what the developer will accept.
