When will Samana Waves be handed over?
Samana’s project page gives a Q1 2027 handover for Samana Waves, and Q3 2027 for the second building, Samana Waves 2 (accessed 11 October 2026). The DLD register still holds the original registered completion dates, 15 April 2026 for Waves 1 and 20 March 2026 for Waves 2. Both have passed with neither building finished.
Portals disagree. Property Finder lists Waves 1 as ready with a Q2 2026 date, and some agent pages describe Waves 2 as handed over in Q1 2026, which the DLD figure of 52.09% in October 2026 does not support.
