Samana Skyros: Arjan Apartments from AED 791K with 15% Down
Samana Developers built Samana Skyros in Arjan, a mid-market residential district in Dubai. The project offers studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments in two distinct configurations, one of which includes a private pool within the unit or its terrace. Entry requires 15% down, with the remaining 85% spread across construction milestones. The planned delivery of April 2026 has now passed, placing this project at or near handover.
Arjan: What Living Here Actually Means
Arjan sits within the Dubailand cluster, adjacent to Al Barsha South and Motor City. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road runs through the area, connecting residents to Downtown Dubai in roughly 20 minutes by car and Dubai Marina in around 25. The district carries no waterfront premium and no branded address markup, which keeps prices accessible while preserving strong links to the city's main commercial centers.
For investors, the area's proximity to the Al Quoz, Barsha, and Tecom employment corridors creates a consistent tenant base of working professionals and small families. These are occupiers who need practical access to central Dubai without paying a location premium for it. The district is well past its early build-out phase, with the area's infrastructure already in place. For an end-user committing to a primary residence, that maturity matters.
What AED 791K to AED 1.85M Covers
The price range runs from AED 791,577 to AED 1,855,160 across three bedroom sizes and two layout families. The configurations are Type A with Pool and Type B without Pool, where the pool is a private pool built into the unit or its terrace.
Studios start at AED 791,577 in both types. One-bedrooms open at AED 1,153,265 across either configuration. Two-bedrooms begin at AED 1,855,160 as Type A pool units only. The pool unit consistently occupies the upper end of the price band in each bedroom category. A buyer choosing between Type A and Type B at the same bedroom count is deciding what the private pool feature is worth. For an owner-occupier, this is a lifestyle call. For a rental investor, it shapes the achievable rent and the tenant profile the unit attracts.
The Amenities
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Health & Fitness | Gymnasium |
| Recreation | Shared Pool, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Safety | Security |
Five amenities is a focused set. The shared pool runs alongside the private pool units, giving Type B residents a communal swimming option. Gymnasium access and the children's play area cover everyday fitness and family requirements. On-site restaurants is the standout feature at this price point. It shifts the project toward a more self-contained residential product and reduces how often residents need to leave for routine dining. Together, this amenity profile targets families and longer-term occupants rather than short-cycle investor inventory.
At or Near Handover
Construction began in November 2023. The expected completion was April 2026, which has now passed. The build ran through approximately 29 months of active construction. A buyer evaluating Samana Skyros today is looking at a completed or near-completed building rather than a long-horizon off-plan commitment.
Getting In for 15%
| Phase | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 15% |
| During Construction | 85% |
The 15% down payment puts the entry cost at approximately AED 119,000 for a studio and around AED 173,000 for a one-bedroom. The remaining 85% tracked construction milestones over the build period. With the planned delivery date now in the past, the construction payment phase has concluded or is concluding. The full balance clears at handover.
