Upkeep and response — belongs to whoever runs the building now. From 6 of 6 rated buildings here and 484 in the market.
The market here is United Arab Emirates: every other developer whose head office is in the same country, because the review platforms residents use, and the service norms they judge against, move together within one. It is not a city, a sector or a price band. Read structure and living together. A developer above the market on structure and below it on living builds well and runs buildings badly, which is a fixable problem and a different one from building badly. Higher ratings are better; differences use the displayed scores rounded to one decimal. Rated buildings only, on both sides, and a structure or living score with no stated basis — no review count and no notes or links — is left out of both.

Risks & source coverage

  • DELIVERY DELAY Reported December 25, 2025; research position as of October 7, 2026 A buyer review alleged that handover was delayed by almost one year, construction was progressing very slowly, and the developer had not provided a reliable timeline; the review also alleged payment-handling and escrow-account problems, while noting that the reviewer intended to file a complaint with the Dubai Land Department. These are buyer allegations, not an independent regulatory finding, and Samana’s CEO separately stated in April 2026 that all projects were on track with no delays.
  • RISK Reported May 28, 2025 A buyer review alleged that an AED 40,000 expression-of-interest payment for an IMBZ project had not been refunded after the buyer requested repayment, despite repeated calls, emails and visits; the reviewer described receiving excuses and promises but no refund deadline. Trustpilot states that it does not fact-check specific review claims, so this remains an unverified customer allegation.
  • DELIVERY DELAY Planned handover: 2026-04-30; status observed 2026-10-07 As of 7 October 2026, SAMANA SKYROS remained under construction at 71.3% complete despite SAMANA SIGNATURE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENTS L.L.C.’s DLD-recorded planned handover date of 30 April 2026, making it 160 days overdue; the record shows continued progress but no completion.

The market here is United Arab Emirates: every other developer whose head office is in the same country, because planning regimes and reporting norms move together within one. It is not a city, a sector or a size band. Read the two delay figures together. A median close to the market with a much better average means no single disaster; the reverse means one project is carrying the record. Time to deliver runs from the earliest start we hold to the completion itself — a construction start where a source gave one, otherwise a sales launch, otherwise the launch year read as its January. A handover the sources place only inside a year is read as that December, so a duration is the widest the record allows rather than the flattering end of it. Only delivered projects dated at both ends count, so it is taken over fewer projects than the delay figures, and a long build is not a fault: a tower is not a villa run. Sourced figures only, both sides, and values taken from documents held on file are excluded here — a developer who shares their records should not score better than one who does not.

Click a row in the chart to open a project, or a table row below to see its sources. The chart runs wider than the page where the record spans many years — scroll it sideways to follow a project to its handover. Every date we have is drawn. A hollow marker is only a launch year, not a date anyone published. No dates published means we looked and found none; dates not yet checked means we have not looked yet. Handing over is not finished — rows say which. A delay is shown when one source gives the promised date and another gives the real one, however rough: "2019" still counts, and the row shows how wide that is. Projects missing one of the two dates, or with sources that disagree, are left out of the figures.

10.0/ 10

The building-specific Google aggregate is 5/5 from 13 reviews, which is the largest qualifying review base and converts to 10/10 under the stated curve. The eight written reviews read were all positive and no recurring building-specific complaints or serious failures were found, so no commentary adjustment is applied. Structure remains unevidenced because the available material did not publish resident structural or systems ratings.

+ Luxury appearance+ Serene environment+ Contemporary amenities+ Family-friendly setting+ Desirable location

no notes returned

no links returned

The building-specific review material is uniformly positive: reviewers call it an “Excellent and luxurious building,” describe an “Awesome and serene environment,” and praise its contemporary amenities and family-friendly setting. The official handover description lists private pools, an infinity pool, gym, sauna and hammam, outdoor cinema, yoga spaces, barbecue areas and children's play zones, but these are developer-stated amenities rather than independent operational ratings.

Samana MiamiJumeirah Village Circle, District 14, Dubai93 units
7.1/ 10
—/ 10
6.7/ 10

The building-specific place listing provides the largest identifiable building-level review base and publishes 3.9/5 from 15 reviews, which converts to 6.7/10 under the requested curve. Property Finder's 13-review material is explicitly community-oriented and was therefore reported but excluded; the limited written commentary adds one moderate service/handover concern without enough verified building-condition evidence to score structure.

+ Modern architectural design+ Above-average fittings+ Private pools+ Resort-style amenities+ High-speed elevators
Not found in sources: No verified structural complaints · No verified plumbing complaints · No verified HVAC complaints · No verified electrical complaints · No verified leak or waterproofing complaints
+ Top-notch amenities+ Friendly residents+ 24/7 service+ Peaceful location+ Convenient nearby facilities
− Ignored emails− Delayed handover report− Peak-hour traffic− Limited public transport− Promotional evidence dominates

Published material describes modern design and says the project's “attention to detail in both the architecture and the interior finishes is exceptional.” Property Finder publishes a community-level maintenance score of 3.8/5, but this is not a building-specific engineering or condition rating, and no review inspected provided verified reports of structural, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, leak or waterproofing failures.

Positive published comments describe “excellent 24/7 service and friendly residents,” a “nice, peaceful and calm location,” and “top-notch” amenities. Countervailing evidence includes a complaint that emails were ignored and handover was 13 months late, while Property Finder community feedback identifies peak-hour traffic as the main drawback; the available material is partly promotional and not all comments are confirmed resident experience.

SAMANA Golf AvenueDubai Studio City, Dubai233 units
6.8/ 10
5.8/ 10
6.1/ 10

Google Reviews/Maps supplies the largest published review base, 61 reviews, and its 3.9/5 building rating sets the level at 6.6/10 before commentary. The newer resident evidence contains unresolved leaks, an AC handover problem and weak fittings, while other reviews praise facilities, golf amenities, location and infrastructure; applying the permitted commentary movement produces 6.1/10. The evidence is current through the stated research date, but the detailed written reviews are still a small and mixed subset of the 61-review aggregate.

+ Good infrastructure+ Large living areas+ Modern facilities+ Golf facilities+ Maintenance upgrades noted
− Persistent wall leaks− AC failure at move-in− Poor-quality fittings− Repeated unsuccessful repairs− Flimsy balcony hardware
+ Flawless facilities praised+ Golf simulator/course praised+ Nearby schools and hospitals+ Large living areas+ Maintenance improvements noted
− Unresponsive repair follow-up− Traffic noise− Access-card inconvenience− Replacement-card cost− Rush-hour congestion

Published resident feedback includes a serious but single-review report of persistent leaks that damaged paint in the living room, balcony and showers despite four repair attempts. Another resident reported that the AC did not work from day one and that they were asked to pay for pipe cleaning; contrasting older reviews call the infrastructure good and the facilities flawless, while a later visitor noted “significant improvements in maintenance and overall upgrades.”

The review record credits Samana Golf Avenue with “flawless facility,” golf amenities, large living areas and convenient nearby schools, hospitals and shopping. Day-to-day criticisms include traffic noise despite double glazing, an access-card system described as “very annoying,” and complaints that emails and calls about defects were ignored; the newest positive operational comment reported “significant improvements in maintenance and overall upgrades.”

Samana Park ViewsArjan, Dubai176 units
6.2/ 10
5.9/ 10
5.9/ 10

The Google Reviews/Maps building aggregate of 3.8/5 from 44 reviews sets the level, converting to 6.4/10 under the specified curve. Repeated complaints about false alarms and management/communication reduce that level, while repeated praise for amenities, responsiveness and the resident community partly offsets it. The evidence is current to the research date, but individual review dates and platform publication timing vary.

+ Private apartment pools+ Multiple swimming pools+ Fitness facilities+ Rooftop jogging park+ Sauna and steam room
− Recurring false alarms− Poor soundproofing− Unreliable parking barrier− Construction noise− Reported construction delay
+ Multiple pools+ Indoor and outdoor gyms+ Rooftop jogging track+ 24/7 security+ Friendly co-residents
− False-alarm disruption− Parking confusion− Poor communication− Construction noise− Unresponsive management complaints

Published reviews contain limited physical-systems evidence rather than an engineering assessment. One reviewer reported that “the alarm works day and night without reason,” while another said the parking barrier “only works half the time” and that “the soundproofing is terrible”; these are resident complaints, not verified defect findings.

Daily life appears divided. Positive reviews call out “great amenities,” “24/7 security,” “helpful management” and “friendly fun co-residents,” but negative reviews describe repeated alarm disturbances, sleepless nights from nearby construction, parking uncertainty and management that was “constantly” ignoring requests.

Property Finder 5/5 · no review count · propertyfinder.ae
Property Finder publishes 5/5 with no review count. Adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall, and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint (more strongly the fewer the reviews), that gives 7.7.

Google’s building-specific 3.6/5 aggregate from 106 reviews is the only large review base and converts to 5.9/10, setting the level. The written complaints include repeated leaks, mold and delayed maintenance, including one electrical-safety report, while other reviews praise responsive staff, facilities and location; the resulting overall score is 4.9/10. The structural and living sub-scores are separated because the evidence is materially worse for reported physical defects than for amenities and staff.

+ Bright interiors+ Tidy finishes+ Pleasant corridors+ Functional gym and pool+ No mold observed by one tenant
− Apartment leaks− Water intrusion into electrical system− Mold and dampness− Leaking drainage and peeling walls− Short-circuit and alarm reports
+ Responsive staff+ Polite support+ Pool+ Gym+ Convenient road access
− Delayed maintenance− Unresponsive management− Security complaints− Dirty short-stay furnishings− Random alarms disrupting residents

Structural feedback is mixed but includes serious reported failures. Reviewers mention “leaks in the apartments,” “water leaking into the electrical system,” leaking drainage, peeling walls and mold; another tenant reported a short circuit and randomly sounding fire alarms. A separate tenant said the building was bright and tidy and had not encountered mold, so these are reported experiences rather than independently verified engineering findings.

Day-to-day accounts range from “they respond to tenate very fast” and praise for Rocky’s support to complaints that maintenance took “a lot of time and efforts,” management did not address defects, and security staff were confrontational. Amenities and location are recurring positives: reviewers cite the gym, swimming pool, peaceful setting and access to major roads, but the overall Google aggregate is only 3.6/5 from 106 reviews.

5.6/ 10
4.6/ 10
5.6/ 10

Google Reviews/Maps provides the largest eligible building-specific review base, at 3.8/5 from 53 resident reviews, which converts to a 6.4 anchor under the requested curve. The score is reduced because several separate reviews report serious leaks, ceiling or mould damage, ventilation problems and prolonged repair delays; it is not reduced for the absence of a structural rating, and the few positive reviews provide only limited counterweight.

+ Attractive interiors+ Functional spacious layouts+ Pool and gym facilities+ Good finishing noted by one reviewer+ Building completed and operational
− Waterproofing leaks− Ceiling water damage− Mould reports− Ventilation concerns− Washing-machine opening defect
+ Clean common environment noted+ Responsive maintenance praised by one reviewer+ Good amenities+ Convenient Arjan location+ Comfortable building noted
− Ignored complaints− Long repair delays− Security criticised− Construction noise− Hallway and AC odours

Structural and systems feedback is materially negative in the available resident reviews. One resident reported a bathroom ceiling leaking for three months, mould spreading for ten months and a waterproofing issue; another described a water heater failure causing “a waterfall coming from the ceiling for almost 2 months,” while a newer review alleged absent fresh-air/exhaust ventilation. A separate older review praised the functional, spacious interior and “amazing decorations,” but this is outweighed qualitatively by the repeated infrastructure complaints.

Daily-life reports are inconsistent and appear to have changed over time. One December 2024 review praised the building as “always clean” and said maintenance was prompt, and another called the location and amenities good; however, other residents describe emails being ignored, “incompetent building management,” ineffective security, disruptive noise and persistent smells. The latest sampled complaint cited construction noise starting around 7:00 AM and affecting sleep.

Only buildings that have reached handover are rated. 0 of 6 projects carry no rating: a building still under construction is never asked about, one that has just been handed over may not have been reached yet, and the rest were asked about and no published resident commentary was found. Structure is fixed at handover and stays the developer's; management and living belongs to whoever runs the building now. The overall verdict weights both rather than averaging them. None of this is checked: a rating is what people published about a building, aggregated — it is not evidence, it cannot move a delay figure, and it is not part of the delivery record above.

Projects

Assessment coverage

Completed projects: 2016-10-15 through 2026-10-15. Initial research is capped at 10 completed projects and a separate delivery-risk search capped at 7 findings. Risk findings are not project assessment counts. Absence is not proof of a complete portfolio or no failures. Month-level dates overlapping a boundary are excluded from figures.

0 undated completions and 0 boundary-uncertain completions are retained but excluded from figures.

Stalled, cancelled & overdue projects

0 evidenced cases
The capped delivery-risk search ran; no project-level exception cases are recorded here. Risk findings are listed under Risks and are separate from assessed projects. This does not establish that the developer has no delivery failures.

Risks

Risk flags

4 found
DELIVERY DELAY Reported December 25, 2025; research position as of October 7, 2026
A buyer review alleged that handover was delayed by almost one year, construction was progressing very slowly, and the developer had not provided a reliable timeline; the review also alleged payment-handling and escrow-account problems, while noting that the reviewer intended to file a complaint with the Dubai Land Department. These are buyer allegations, not an independent regulatory finding, and Samana’s CEO separately stated in April 2026 that all projects were on track with no delays.
RISK Reported May 28, 2025
A buyer review alleged that an AED 40,000 expression-of-interest payment for an IMBZ project had not been refunded after the buyer requested repayment, despite repeated calls, emails and visits; the reviewer described receiving excuses and promises but no refund deadline. Trustpilot states that it does not fact-check specific review claims, so this remains an unverified customer allegation.
DELIVERY DELAY Planned handover: 2026-04-30; status observed 2026-10-07
As of 7 October 2026, SAMANA SKYROS remained under construction at 71.3% complete despite SAMANA SIGNATURE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENTS L.L.C.’s DLD-recorded planned handover date of 30 April 2026, making it 160 days overdue; the record shows continued progress but no completion.
DELIVERY DELAY Planned handover: 2026-03-20; status observed 2026-10-07
As of 7 October 2026, Samana Waves 2 remained under construction at 52.1% complete despite SAMANA SI HOLDING LIMITED DUBAI BRANCH’s DLD-recorded planned handover date of 20 March 2026, making it 201 days overdue; the record shows continued progress but no completion.
