The dates are our estimate: we spread the construction share evenly between now and the keys. The developer's real dates follow the building work, so they can move.
Your payments go into the project's escrow account, which RERA watches, not straight to the developer.
Before you buy
Pay into the project's escrow account only.
Every off-plan project in Dubai must have an escrow account at a bank, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person. Ask for the account number.
Budget for the service charge.
Once the building is finished you pay a yearly service charge per sq ft, set from the building's budget and approved by RERA. Ask Samana for the estimate.
Register the sale with Oqood.
The Land Department records off-plan sales in its Oqood register. Until your sale is on it, the home isn't in your name.

About Samana Ocean Pearl
Samana Ocean Pearl is a Samana apartment project on Dubai Islands with 1- to 3-bedroom homes from AED 1,600,000 and a listed handover of December 2028. The plan puts 80% of the price at handover, and the developer says every home has its own pool.
The listing gives a payment plan of two steps: 20% during construction and 80% on handover. At the from price that is AED 320,000 during the build and AED 1,280,000 at handover. The 4% Land Department fee adds AED 64,000. The plan shows no booking step, so ask what you pay when you reserve and when the construction payment falls due.
The listed handover is December 2028, about two years and one month from now. That is the developer's listed date, so ask for a progress update before you pay. The listing does not state the ownership type, so confirm the ownership terms with the developer.
Homes have one, two or three bedrooms, and Samana says each one comes with a private pool. The listing gives no sizes and no floor plans, so ask for the floor plan and exact size of the home you want. The developer lists built-in kitchen appliances and a smart home system in each unit. Shared facilities include an open cinema on water, a swimming pool, a kids' pool, gyms indoors and outdoors and a yoga zone. Ask us for the exact location and check the drive times to the places you use most.
20% during construction, AED 320,000 at the from price. The other 80%, AED 1,280,000, is due at handover. Separately, the 4% Land Department fee comes to AED 64,000; ask when it is due.
How big are the apartments?
The listing gives no sizes for the 1- to 3-bedroom homes and has no floor plans yet. Ask for the plan and size of your unit before you book.
Does every home really have a pool?
The developer says each unit has a private pool. Check where the pool sits on your floor plan.
When is handover?
The listed handover is December 2028, about two years away. Ask for a construction update before you pay.
Can foreigners buy here?
The listing does not state the ownership type. Confirm the ownership terms with the developer before you book.
