## How the Samana Waves handover date has changed

| Date | What happened | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 12 Mar 2022 | Waves 1 launched, due Q1 2025 | Construction Week; Khaleej Times |
| 1 Jul 2022 | Waves 1 construction start recorded | DLD register |
| 1 Jan 2023 | Waves 2 sales start, due Q1 2026 (1 March 2026) | Property Finder |
| 21 Sep 2023 | Waves 2 construction start recorded | DLD register |
| 11 Feb 2026 | Waves 2 at 35.40% | DLD register |
| 20 Mar 2026 | Waves 2 registered completion date passes | DLD register |
| 15 Apr 2026 | Waves 1 registered completion date passes | DLD register |
| 19 Jun 2026 | Waves 1 at 90.06%; Waves 2 at 47.25% | DLD register |
| 2 Oct 2026 | Waves 2 at 52.09% | DLD register |
| 11 Oct 2026 | Samana shows Q1 2027 and Q3 2027 | Samana |

Waves 1 is now two years behind its launch date and Waves 2 about 18 months behind. Waves 2 added 4.84 points between June and October 2026. At that pace, the remaining 48 points would take more than two years, so reaching Q3 2027 would need faster work.

## What the Samana Waves handover date means for payments

Under the Waves 2 plan on Property Finder, 1% is due on handover and 24% after it, so most of the price is paid before keys. The original Waves 1 plan ran 1% a month for 65 months from March 2022, ending around 2027, regardless of construction stage. Samana's current Waves 1 plan adds 0.5% a month for 60 months, which extends payments well past handover.

## What to check before relying on the Samana Waves date

1. **The building named in the SPA**, since Waves 1 and Waves 2 are about 38 points apart.
2. **Any written notice of the revised date**, given that both registered dates in the DLD register have passed.
3. **The SPA terms on delay**, including any grace period after the original completion date.
4. **The next Waves 1 inspection**, which should show whether it has passed 90% since June 2026.
