Samana Avenue: Off-Plan Apartments in Dubai Land Residence Complex
Samana Avenue is a residential project by Samana Developers, located in Dubai Land Residence Complex (DLRC). The project offers studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Construction began in July 2024, with handover scheduled for December 2027.
Dubai Land Residence Complex: What the Location Means in Practice
DLRC sits in the outer eastern belt of Dubai, roughly 30 to 40 minutes from Downtown depending on traffic. Emirates Road (E611) and Al Ain Road (E66) are the main connections, linking the area to Academic City, Silicon Oasis, and Dubai International Airport. The area is suburban and car-dependent for daily errands.
That trade-off comes with a clear upside: land costs here are lower than in established central districts, and that flows directly into unit prices. DLRC is where AED 660,000 buys a self-contained apartment from a recognized developer. The proximity to Academic City and Silicon Oasis puts this location within reach of two of Dubai's largest employment and education clusters.
What AED 660K to AED 1.96M Covers
The price range spans three distinct unit categories, and the spread is significant enough to warrant explanation.
Studios start at AED 660,000 for 503 sq ft. One-bedroom units open at AED 1,000,000 for 844 sq ft, with some premium 1BR configurations reaching AED 1,522,375 at up to 1,035 sq ft.
Two-bedroom apartments run from AED 1,500,000 to AED 1,956,469 at approximately 1,228 to 1,230 sq ft. Two units with near-identical floor area can carry very different price tags. Floor level or layout orientation likely drives the premium at the top end.
At the AED 660K entry point, the buyer profile is first-purchase or rental-focused. At the AED 1.96M ceiling, you are paying a meaningful premium within a suburban project and likely weighing this against apartments in more central areas of Dubai.
Property Types and Who They Suit
| Unit Type | Size | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 503 sq ft | AED 660,000 |
| 1-Bedroom | 844 - 1,035 sq ft | AED 1,000,000 |
| 2-Bedroom | 1,228 - 1,230 sq ft | AED 1,500,000 |
Studios suit single professionals or investors targeting the Academic City and Silicon Oasis rental catchment. One-bedrooms span enough size variation to work for couples or as a higher-yield rental unit. Two-bedrooms fit families who want more space at a lower price point than central Dubai can offer.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| F&B | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor pool is the most practical standout. Dubai's summer heat restricts outdoor pool use for several months each year. An indoor facility removes that constraint entirely. The gymnasium and children's play area signal a project aimed at both singles and young families. The in-building restaurant is a useful addition in an area where walkable dining options are sparse.
December 2027 Handover
Construction started in July 2024 and expected completion is December 31, 2027. Buyers entering now are purchasing with approximately two years of construction already underway. That is a different risk position than buying at the pre-groundbreak stage.
Getting In for 15%
| Payment Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 15% |
| During Construction | 54% |
| On Handover | 1% |
| Post-Handover | 30% |
The 15% down payment means AED 99,000 to acquire a studio at the entry price. The 54% construction installments spread across roughly 3.5 years of build time.
The 30% post-handover tranche is the most buyer-friendly element of this structure. It defers nearly a third of the total cost to after keys are received. For investors, rental income can offset part of those remaining payments before the full cycle closes. For owner-occupiers, it eases cash flow pressure in the months immediately after moving in.
