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.
