Private-pool homes in Downtown Jebel Ali
SAMANA Portside at Downtown Jebel Ali is an under-construction freehold project by Samana Developers along the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor. Its building configuration is G+3P+9. It offers one-bedroom apartments in three layouts and two-bedroom apartments in two layouts, each planned with a private pool. Selected layouts can be converted to add a bedroom, subject to the approved configuration of the specific unit. The target handover is July 2029.
One-bedroom homes span 623–1,570 sq ft from AED 1,090,000. Two-bedroom homes span 1,096–2,043 sq ft from AED 1,390,000. The indicative starting-price/minimum-area ratios are AED 1,749.60 and AED 1,268.25 per sq ft respectively. The starting price and smallest advertised area for a type may refer to different units; these ratios are not verified unit quotes. Remington Properties can compare matched prices and saleable areas for identified apartments.
