DISTRESS DEAL | STUDIO IN SAMANA BARARI VIEWS 2, MAJAN — 11% BELOW COST

Annual post-handover cost: AED 81,756. Long-term studio rent in delivered Samana Majan stock: AED 55,000–70,000.

Rental income covers the majority of post-handover instalments from day one.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Samana Barari Views 2 is a mid-rise residential tower by Samana Developers in Majan, Dubai Land.

The project is part of Samana’s Barari series — named after the adjacent Barari district, a low-density green corridor that provides the project’s primary view orientation. Samana built its market identity on a specific product proposition: private or semi-private pool access at entry-level pricing, targeting the investor and short-term rental operator who wants the amenity premium without the DIFC address price tag.

The result is a product that punches above its location on rental yield, particularly on short-term platforms, because the pool-facing units photograph well and command nightly rates disproportionate to the asset’s capital value.

Majan is a developing subdistrict within Dubai Land, positioned off Emirates Road between Global Village and Al Barari. Infrastructure is functional but the area is still maturing — retail and F&B options are limited at street level, and the address does not carry the immediate recognition of more established Dubai communities. These are the trade-offs priced into the AED 630,000 entry.

WHY THIS IS A DISTRESS DEAL

The seller is exiting a 444 sq ft studio at AED 630,000 — AED 78,536 below their all-in acquisition cost.

With Q4 2027 handover still ahead, a buyer steps into the seller’s SPA position at a verified discount to original pricing, absorbing the remaining construction period at below-launch cost basis.

For the yield investor, the calculation is straightforward: Samana studios with pool access in delivered buildings in comparable Dubai Land locations are achieving short-term rental income that supports gross yields of 8–10% at this entry price. The pool view and balcony combination is the unit’s commercial asset — it is what drives STR performance in the Samana product line.

PROPERTY DETAILS

At 444 sq ft, this is a compact but efficiently laid out studio.

Floors 10–15 deliver the Barari green view corridor and pool deck orientation without the premium attached to higher floors.

Samana’s standard specification includes fitted kitchen, built-in wardrobes, and access to the building’s resort-style amenity deck. The pool view is the unit’s primary selling point on any short-term rental platform and should be treated as a core component of the investment thesis rather than an aesthetic preference.

The seller’s remaining instalment schedule is available on request.

With Q4 2027 handover, the buyer assumes the outstanding Samana payment plan milestones.
