Samana California: Apartments in Al Furjan from AED 690K
Samana California is a residential apartment project by Samana Developers, located in Al Furjan, one of Dubai's established mid-market residential communities. The project delivers studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments in a district that sits well inside the main waterfront pricing premiums while still offering solid Metro and road access.
Al Furjan: Metro Access Without the Waterfront Price
Al Furjan sits in the western corridor of Dubai, connected to Sheikh Zayed Road and the Expo Road network. Residents have direct access to the Route 2020 Metro line, linking the area toward JLT, Expo City, and onward into the city. The commute to Dubai Marina runs around 15 to 20 minutes by car. Business Bay and Downtown Dubai sit roughly 25 to 30 minutes away depending on traffic.
For buyers looking at mid-range apartments without paying waterfront premiums, Al Furjan offers a workable position between price and infrastructure. The community has developed around a mix of villa plots and apartment buildings. Samana California sits within this fabric, close to the Ibn Battuta Mall interchange.
What AED 690K to AED 1.44M Buys Here
The price range spans AED 690,336 to AED 1,438,830, and the spread is driven by the unit mix. At the low end, a studio of roughly 430 sq ft starts at AED 690,336, working out to around AED 1,605 per sq ft. In the middle, a one-bedroom of around 968 sq ft starts at AED 886,140, or approximately AED 915 per sq ft. At the top, a two-bedroom at approximately 1,345 sq ft starts at AED 1,438,830, or about AED 1,070 per sq ft.
On a per-square-foot basis, the two-bedroom delivers noticeably better value than the studio, with a gap of around AED 535 per sq ft. The studio carries a premium because entry-level units attract a wider investor base chasing the most accessible price point. Buyers primarily focused on rentability will look at the studio. Owner-occupiers and investors targeting families will gravitate toward the one-bedroom and two-bedroom options.
Three Layouts, Three Buyer Profiles
All units are apartments across three configurations. The studio at 430 sq ft suits single professionals or buy-to-let investors who prioritize Metro access and a low entry price. The one-bedroom at 968 sq ft works well for couples or small families. The two-bedroom at 1,345 sq ft functions comfortably as a primary residence, covering families who need a separate bedroom for children or a home office.
What Comes With the Building
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Infinity Pool, Shared Pool |
| Fitness | Health Club, Gymnasium |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
The fitness offering is a strong point for this price range. Having both a health club and a dedicated gymnasium signals a resident profile that expects proper training facilities rather than a token gym room. The two pool options serve different daily uses: the infinity pool as a leisure and social space, the shared pool as a routine amenity. The children's play area confirms that the developer is targeting families and investors who will rent to them. This is a practical, functional amenity set that matches the project's mid-market positioning.
Timeline: Construction Period Has Ended
Construction on Samana California began in April 2024. The expected completion date was December 2025, which has now passed. Buyers entering the project now are not carrying off-plan construction risk. That distinction matters for anyone comparing Samana California against projects with significant construction timelines still ahead.
Getting In for 25%
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 25% |
| During construction | 48% |
| Handover | 1% |
| Post-handover | 26% |
The 25% down payment translates to roughly AED 173K for a studio and AED 360K for a two-bedroom. The construction tranche of 48% was the largest payment commitment during the build phase. The 26% post-handover installment defers a meaningful portion of the total cost past key receipt. For investors, this means rental income can offset that final tranche, reducing the cash pressure at and after handover.
