About SAMANA Portside at Downtown Jebel Ali, Dubai
SAMANA Portside, also presented as SAMANA Portside at Downtown Jebel Ali, is a residential development by SAMANA Developers in the Downtown Jebel Ali area of Dubai, along Sheikh Zayed Road. The project is positioned around contemporary apartment living, adaptable layouts and amenities intended to support leisure, fitness and everyday convenience, with an expected handover in Q3 2029 according to SAMANA's October 2026 availability list.
The official project page describes one- and two-bedroom residences and promotes convertible living spaces designed to accommodate changing lifestyle needs - SAMANA states that one-bedroom layouts can convert to two-bedroom layouts and two-bedroom layouts to three-bedroom layouts. Private-pool configurations are offered; the exact pool arrangement is confirmed on each unit's floor plan.
Downtown Jebel Ali is an important commercial and transport corridor in Dubai. SAMANA lists Dubai Metro, Palm Jebel Ali, Expo City Dubai, Dubai Marina, Al Maktoum International Airport, Dubai Investment Park and Jumeirah Beach Residence within an indicative 20-minute travel-time band. Published journey times are developer estimates, not guaranteed travel times.
SAMANA Portside was launched with an advertised price from AED 1,099,000. That launch figure is a separate reference point from current inventory: SAMANA's availability list dated 21 October 2026 shows one-bedroom-with-pool apartments of about 623 to 628 sqft listed from AED 1,139,000 after discount, subject to confirmation. The same list includes ground-floor retail units, which are priced separately from the residential apartments. See the Current Availability table on this page.
The published amenities include a large leisure pool deck, adult and children's swimming pools, an outdoor cinema, a BBQ area, children's play areas, and indoor and outdoor gym facilities.
SAMANA publishes two payment schedules. The PDC schedule is a 10% down payment, 5% in the sixth month, 5% in the twelfth month and 1% per month for 80 months. The non-PDC schedule is a 15% down payment, 5% in the sixth month, 5% in the twelfth month and 1% per month for 75 months. The plan that applies to a selected unit and the latest contractual terms are confirmed at booking.
