Samana Hills South
A phased apartment development by Samana Developers in Dubai Industrial City. The three phases launched so far are all listed for handover in 2028.
Short answer
Samana Hills South is being built in phases in Dubai Industrial City. Property Finder lists the original phase for handover in May 2028, after it launched in June 2025. Phase 2, launched in August 2025, was announced for Q2 2028, though Propsearch separately reports October 2028 for the same phase. Phase 3, launched in October 2025 with about 147 units, is listed for October 2028. Payment plans differ by phase: the original phase offers 15% or 20% at booking with the rest split across construction and handover, while phase 2 adds a post-handover instalment.

When will Samana Hills South be handed over?
Samana Hills South is a phased development in Saih Shuaib 2, Dubai Industrial City. Three phases have launched so far, all still under construction.
| Phase | Launched | Units | Published handover | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 (original) | Jun 2025 | About 475 | May 2028 (Q2 2028) | Property Finder |
| Phase 2 | Aug 2025 | About 151, including 10 lofts | Q2 2028 (developer); Oct 2028 (Propsearch) | Developer announcement; Propsearch |
| Phase 3 | Oct 2025 | About 147 | Oct 2028 | Propsearch |
Phase 2’s date is the one with a clear mismatch: Samana’s own launch announcement gave Q2 2028, while Propsearch’s project page separately lists October 2028. Since October falls in Q4, not Q2, these are not the same date. Check the date in your sale and purchase agreement rather than either published estimate.

What to check before booking
- The exact phase number, since Samana Hills South now covers at least three phases with different launch dates and prices.
- The Phase 2 handover date specifically, given the developer’s Q2 2028 announcement and Propsearch’s October 2028 estimate do not match.
- The DLD project status for your specific phase and building, through the Dubai Land Department’s project status enquiry service.
- How the 4% DLD fee is billed alongside your phase’s instalments, since this is not always spelled out in the published plans.
