Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Headquarters | Business Bay, Dubai, UAE | | Ownership | Privately held; led by chief executive Imran Farooq. | | Website | https://www.samanadevelopers.com | | Market segment | affordable | | Builds in | Dubai | | Developments covered | 10 | | Gross sales, 2025 | AED 7.1 billion | | Projects launched | 50+ | | Handovers to date (company website) | 6 | | Projects launched in 2025 | 16 | ## Overview Samana is a private Dubai developer run by chief executive Imran Farooq from an office in Business Bay. Its earliest dated project is Samana Greens in Arjan, launched in September 2018, so the company is young by Dubai standards. It has grown quickly: gross sales reached AED 7.1 billion in 2025, up from AED 5.4 billion, and the company says market data ranked it the fifth highest-selling off-plan developer in Dubai that year. The product is consistent. Samana sells studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments at low entry prices in outer and emerging districts, and markets them as resort-style living, with private pools in selected apartments as its signature. Starting prices on its website in November 2026 ranged from AED 599,000 for a studio in Dubai Industrial City to about AED 1.1 million on the mainland, with its Dubai Islands buildings priced from about AED 2.9 million to AED 4.3 million. Recent sites include Arjan, Majan, Dubai Production City, Dubai South, Warsan, Dubai Industrial City and the Jebel Ali area. The pace of launches is the thing to understand. Samana launched 16 projects in 2025 and, in August 2026, three more in under a month, adding 630 apartments; its chief executive said it was committed to launching and delivering 20 projects over the following 18 months. Against that, the company's own website counted more than 50 launched projects and six handovers when we checked, and its press page reports the handover of Samana Miami in Jumeirah Village Circle to 89 homeowners. Most of what it has sold is therefore still to be built. Its chief executive has told Gulf News that 91% of the units across its projects had already been sold. In 2025 it brought design and construction in-house through an engineering consultancy and a contracting company, which gives it more control but is itself new. In October 2026 Samana announced a premium brand, Samana Collecta, with a first project on The World Islands off Dubai: 840 branded residences with a stated value of more than AED 4 billion, reached by yacht shuttle. That is a long way from its record in mainland mid-rise blocks. We could not verify a standard Samana payment plan from the company's public pages. Ask for the written schedule, and in particular for what remains payable after handover. ## Strengths - Strong sales momentum: AED 7.1 billion of gross sales in 2025, by the company's count, with a top-five ranking for Dubai off-plan sales. - Low entry prices, from AED 599,000 on its website in November 2026. - A distinct product, with private pools in selected apartments and extensive shared leisure space, which helps a listing stand out to tenants. - Design and construction were brought in-house in 2025, giving it direct control of the build. ## Considerations for buyers - Its website counts more than 50 launched projects against six handovers. The delivery record is short compared with the volume sold. - It plans to launch and deliver 20 more projects in 18 months. That is a demanding programme for a newly formed in-house contractor. - Many sites are in outer or industrial-fringe districts such as Warsan, Dubai Industrial City and the Jebel Ali area. Check who actually rents there and at what level. - Private pools inside apartments add maintenance, water and insurance costs. Ask how these are treated in the service charge and who is responsible for repairs. - The World Islands project is offshore, reached only by boat, and far larger and more upmarket than anything Samana has completed. - It is private and we found no published accounts or credit rating. ## Notable completed projects - Samana Greens - Samana Hills - Samana Miami ## Current developments - [Samana Ocean Pearl](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-islands/samana-ocean-pearl): Samana Developers; Dubai Islands, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2027; from AED 3,940,444 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Samana Ocean Pearl 2](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-islands/samana-ocean-pearl-2): Samana Developers; Dubai Islands, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2027; from AED 4,278,811 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Samana Ocean Bay](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-islands/samana-ocean-bay): Samana Developers; Dubai Islands, Dubai; under construction; handover Q2 2028; from AED 2,887,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Samana Boulevard Heights](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand-residence-complex/samana-boulevard-heights): Samana Developers; Dubailand Residence Complex, Dubai; under construction; handover Q2 2029; from AED 770,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Samana Greenfield](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-warsan/samana-greenfield): Samana Developers; Al Warsan, Dubai; launched; handover Q2 2029; from AED 849,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Samana South Haven](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-industrial-city/samana-south-haven): Samana Developers; Dubai Industrial City, Dubai; launched; handover Q2 2029; from AED 599,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Samana South Haven 2](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-industrial-city/samana-south-haven-2): Samana Developers; Dubai Industrial City, Dubai; launched; handover Q2 2029; from AED 644,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Samana Greenfield 2](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-warsan/samana-greenfield-2): Samana Developers; Al Warsan, Dubai; launched; handover Q3 2029; from AED 849,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Samana Portside](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/downtown-jebel-ali/samana-portside): Samana Developers; Downtown Jebel Ali, Dubai; launched; handover Q3 2029; from AED 1,099,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Samana Downtown One](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/downtown-jebel-ali/samana-downtown-one): Samana Developers; Downtown Jebel Ali, Dubai; launched; handover Q4 2029; from AED 689,000 (as of 2026-11-13) ## Questions and answers ### Is Samana a reliable developer? Samana has completed and handed over buildings, including Samana Greens and Samana Hills, and sells in large volumes. Its record is short, though: the company's own website lists more than 50 launched projects and six handovers, so most of its homes have yet to be delivered. It is privately owned and does not publish accounts. Check the escrow account, the registered completion date and the site progress for the specific project before you commit. ### Where does Samana build? In Dubai, mostly in outer and emerging districts: Arjan, Majan, Dubai Production City, Dubai South, Dubailand, Jumeirah Village Circle, Warsan, Dubai Industrial City and the Jebel Ali area. In October 2026 it announced a premium project on The World Islands under a new brand, Samana Collecta. It has also announced a project in the Maldives. ### What payment plans does Samana offer? We could not confirm a standard plan from Samana's public pages. Plans are set per project. Ask for the full written schedule and check how much is due during construction, at handover and afterwards, and that every payment goes to the project's escrow account. ### Do all Samana apartments have private pools? No. The company describes private pools in selected apartments as a signature of the brand. Check the floor plan for the exact unit, and ask how pool maintenance is charged. ### What do Samana Developers properties cost? Among the Samana Developers developments we cover, prices start from AED 599,000 at [Samana South Haven](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-industrial-city/samana-south-haven), with entry prices up to AED 4.28M at Samana Ocean Pearl 2. ## Sources Facts on this page were last checked against these sources on 13 November 2026. - [Samana Developers: about us](https://www.samanadevelopers.com/about-us) - [Samana Developers: website (starting prices, project locations)](https://www.samanadevelopers.com/) - [Gulf Construction: Samana Developers records $1.93bn gross sales in 2025 (20 January 2026)](https://gulfconstructiononline.com/ArticleTA/388143) - [Gulf Construction: Samana boosts presence in Dubai with three new residential projects (17 August 2026)](https://gulfconstructiononline.com/ArticleTA/466649) - [Gulf Construction: Samana enters premium lifestyle property market with new brand (15 October 2026)](https://gulfconstructiononline.com/ArticleTA/488115) - [Samana Developers: press releases (Miami handover, 91% of units sold)](https://www.samanadevelopers.com/press) - [Property Finder: Samana Developers new projects](https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/new-projects/dev/samana-developers) --- Source page: https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/samana.
