Samana Avenue

Samana Avenue is a single residential building by Samana Developers, located within Dubailand Residence Complex (DLRC) and scheduled for handover by December 2027. The project comprises 18 units across one- and two-bedroom configurations, priced from AED 1.57 million, with kitchens fitted as standard.

# The building and its position in Dubailand Residence Complex

DLRC sits between Emirates Road and Al Ain Road, two of the arterial highways that link Dubai's eastern suburbs to the city's commercial core. The area has grown steadily as a mid-market residential address, attracting families and long-term residents who prioritise space and road connectivity over proximity to the waterfront.

Samana Avenue is a single building within that community. At 11.73% construction progress as of the current reporting period, it is early in the construction cycle, with completion set for the final quarter of 2027. The project is registered with escrow account 0405599501619, providing the regulatory transparency that buyers in this price bracket should expect.

# Residences: layouts, sizes and specification

The 18 units divide into two types. One-bedroom apartments range from 844 to 1,035 square feet, priced between AED 1.57 million and AED 1.61 million. Two-bedroom units sit at approximately 1,229 to 1,231 square feet, with asking prices from AED 1.87 million to just over AED 2.07 million. These are generous floor plates for the price point, particularly the one-bedroom layouts, which are notably larger than the Dubai average for the category.

Apartments are delivered with kitchens fitted but otherwise unfurnished, giving buyers latitude to finish interiors to their own specification. Service charges are set at AED 15 per square foot annually.

Each unit includes balcony access, and given the building's low total unit count, there is reasonable expectation of space and quiet that a larger tower rarely sustains.

# On-site amenities

The amenity provision is focused rather than extensive. Residents have access to a swimming pool, a dedicated kids' pool, and an outdoor gym. For a boutique building of 18 units, this is a proportionate offering: the facilities will not be crowded, and their maintenance costs are reflected in the service charge figure.

# Distance and connectivity from DLRC

The location is car-dependent, as most of Dubailand is. Dubai International Airport sits 22.7 kilometres away, Downtown Dubai approximately 19 kilometres. Jumeira Public Beach is 25 kilometres by road. Vernus International School Dubai is 6.5 kilometres from the development, which matters to the family buyers this type of project targets. First Avenue Mall in Motor City is 21 kilometres away, providing the nearest significant retail anchor.

These distances are not unusual for this district, but buyers arriving from London, Zurich or Singapore should calibrate expectations: DLRC rewards those who drive and penalises those who do not.

# Who Samana Avenue suits, and where it sits in the market

This is a project for a specific buyer: someone seeking a modestly priced entry into Dubai freehold ownership, with usable square footage and a completion timeline that allows for forward planning.

At under AED 2 million for a two-bedroom unit exceeding 1,200 square feet, the value proposition is arithmetically straightforward. The trade-off is location. DLRC lacks the brand recognition of Dubai Hills or the waterfront premium of Creek Harbour, and the surrounding infrastructure is functional rather than curated.

For an investor targeting rental yield from professional families, the size-to-price ratio is the argument. For an end-user relocating from a high-cost city, the space on offer at this price is difficult to match in comparable Dubai addresses. Neither use case requires a leap of faith; both require an honest assessment of what DLRC is and what it is not.
