## Short answer

Samana now gives Q4 2027 as the handover date for Samana Ocean Pearl 2, while the DLD register still holds a registered completion date of 31 March 2027. The DLD inspection on 17 September 2026 recorded 23.3% complete. The March 2027 date announced at launch in September 2024 will not be met, so the SPA date and its grace period matter more than the register date.

## Key figures

- Registered completion date (DLD): 31 Mar 2027 (DLD project register via Continental Club, updated 5 Oct 2026)
- Latest construction progress: 23.3% (DLD inspection, 17 Sep 2026)
- Developer's stated date: Q4 2027 (Samana Developers, accessed 11 Oct 2026)
- Date given at launch: March 2027 (Gulf News, 10 Sep 2024)

## Samana Ocean Pearl 2 handover date: the latest position

Samana's project page now gives an anticipated handover of Q4 2027 for Samana Ocean Pearl 2. The DLD register, which lists it as "Ocean Pearl 2 By Sd", still holds a registered completion date of 31 March 2027. Prices, sizes and the payment plan are on the [Samana Ocean Pearl 2](/projects/ocean-pearl-2-by-sd/) page.

The DLD inspection on 17 September 2026 recorded 23.3% complete. About 77 points of work remained with six months to the registered date, so the register date is out of date rather than a realistic target.

## Samana Ocean Pearl 2 handover date by building

The project is registered as one DLD project, number 3238, with two buildings of ground plus podium plus six floors and 96 units.

| Building | Construction progress (DLD, date) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ocean Pearl 2, both buildings (96 units) | 23.3%, 17 Sep 2026 | 31 Mar 2027 | Q4 2027 (Samana); Q1 2027 (OffplanCompare) |

Ocean Pearl 1, launched alongside it, is a separate building with its own date, given as December 2026 at launch (Gulf News, 10 September 2024).

## How the Samana Ocean Pearl 2 handover date has changed

| Date | What happened | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 12 Jan 2024 | Construction start recorded | DLD register |
| Sep 2024 | Launch with Ocean Pearl 1, sold out in two hours; Ocean Pearl 2 due March 2027 | Gulf News, 10 Sep 2024 |
| 21 Apr 2026 | Inspection records about 8.1% | DLD register via Continental Club |
| 17 Sep 2026 | Inspection records 23.3% | DLD register via Continental Club |
| 11 Oct 2026 | Samana page shows Q4 2027 | Samana Developers |

The project added about 3 points a month between April and September 2026. At that rate, reaching 100% would take until well into 2028; the pace would need to rise by about two thirds to meet Q4 2027. This is an estimate from the two published inspections, not a DLD or Samana figure.

## What the Samana Ocean Pearl 2 handover date means for payments

Samana's plan is 20% on booking, 10% in the 12th month and 10% in the 24th month, then 60% after handover at 2% a month for 30 months. Because the two construction instalments are tied to months, not to progress, most buyers from the September 2024 launch will already have paid the full 40% before handover. A later handover delays the start of the 60% post-handover instalments. On a 1 bedroom at the DLD median of AED 2,099,000, each 2% instalment is about AED 41,980.

## What to check before relying on the Samana Ocean Pearl 2 date

1. **The completion date written in the SPA**, which may be the registered 31 March 2027, and the grace period after it.
2. **Any notice from Samana confirming the move to Q4 2027**, since the DLD register has not been updated.
3. **The post-handover start date** on the contract, which sets when the 30 monthly instalments begin.

## Frequently asked

### When will Ocean Pearl 2 be completed?

The DLD register's completion date is 31 March 2027, but Samana's own page now gives Q4 2027. At 23.3% complete on 17 September 2026, the Q4 2027 date is the more realistic one.

### Has the Samana Ocean Pearl 2 handover date been delayed?

Yes. Samana said March 2027 at launch in September 2024 (Gulf News). Its project page now says Q4 2027, about nine months later, while the DLD register has not yet been updated.

### When will Samana Ocean Pearl 1 be ready?

Samana gave December 2026 for Ocean Pearl 1 at the joint launch in September 2024 (Gulf News, 10 Sep 2024). It is a separate building from Ocean Pearl 2.

### Do both Ocean Pearl 2 buildings hand over together?

The DLD register lists Ocean Pearl 2 as one project with two buildings, one progress figure and one completion date. Samana has not published separate dates per building.
