Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [Samana Developers](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/samana) | | Location | [Downtown Jebel Ali](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/downtown-jebel-ali) (Jebel Ali Industrial 2), Dubai | | Status | launched | | Developer's handover target | Q4 2029 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 689,000 to AED 1,400,000 (developer price list, 13 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 2,057 | | Home types | Studio apartments, 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments | | Buildings | 1 | | Golden Visa value test | All published prices are below AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Samana Downtown One is a residential tower by [Samana Developers](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/samana) in [Downtown Jebel Ali](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/downtown-jebel-ali). Samana places it in Jebel Ali Industrial 2, on the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor and close to the Dubai Metro Red Line, and it was listed as the developer's latest launch on its website in November 2026. The building offers studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments, with two layouts for each bedroom type. Samana's starting price is AED 689,000 for a studio. Property Finder, which lists the project as off-plan with developer stock, gives launch prices of about AED 1 million for a one-bedroom and AED 1.4 million for a two-bedroom flat, and sizes from 335 sq ft for a studio to 943 sq ft for the largest listed two-bedroom layout. Samana markets the tower around smart-home technology and lists an adult pool, jacuzzi, yoga lawn, golf simulator and rooftop and podium leisure space. The payment plan is the long monthly structure Samana uses on its 2026 launches: 10% down with post-dated cheques (15% without), 5% at months 6 and 12, then 1% a month for 80 months (75 months without cheques). That spreads the cost thinly, but at 80 months the instalments continue well after the expected December 2029 handover, so the buyer is still paying for several years after receiving the keys. Who it suits: an investor who wants a small, low-ticket apartment near Jebel Ali's free zone, port and business parks, where the tenant base is people who work locally. The metro and Sheikh Zayed Road give reasonable links to Dubai Marina and Expo City; Samana gives 10 to 15 minutes to Dubai Marina and JBR. What to weigh: Downtown Jebel Ali has a cluster of similar studio and one-bedroom towers due in 2028 and 2029, including Samana's own Portside next door, which will compete for the same tenants. The setting is industrial. Samana has not published the number of apartments, floors or service charges. And Samana's record is short relative to the volume it has launched, so check the escrow account and registered completion date before you commit. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Studio apartments | AED 689,000 | | 335 sq ft | 1 | available | | 1-bedroom apartments | AED 1,000,000 | | | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | AED 1,400,000 | | | 2 | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 13 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 10% down, 1% a month (with post-dated cheques) - Down payment: 10% (On booking) - Instalment: 5% (Month 6) - Instalment: 5% (Month 12) - Monthly instalments: 80% (1% a month for 80 months) Paid before handover: 100%.
