Layouts and the handover date come from the developer's brochure in our archive.
Prices and payment plans from the same source are deliberately not published:
they are dated to when the brochure was issued and do not match today's prices.
I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.

About the project
Ocean Crest is an 11-storey residential building in Dubai Islands, currently under construction.
The developer is Samana Holding Ltd.
Layouts, according to the developer's brochure — 2 and 4 bedrooms.
There is not a single lot in this project in the database right now — it is refreshed every night, and listings here appear and go.
An 11-storey Samana building on Dubai Islands, under construction: two- and four-bedroom layouts, handover per the brochure in Q3 2028.
What it is
Ocean Crest is an 11-storey residential building by Samana Holding Ltd in Dubai Islands. It is under construction; the developer's brochure gives handover as Q3 2028.
The mix is unusual: the brochure lists only two-bedroom and four-bedroom apartments — no studios or one-beds — which points to a building meant to be lived in rather than let out in compact units. The passport lists a spa.
The number of residences isn't given. We have no lots in this building in our stock as of 21 September 2026, so we don't quote a price.
Early entry on the islands
Dubai Islands in our database: 77 lots, median AED 5.5 million, AED 2,248/ft², cheapest lot AED 1.5 million. Of the 57 lots with a known status only two are ready and 55 are under construction — the district is sold almost entirely off-plan.
The site has changed concept twice — from Palm Deira to Deira Islands and then to Dubai Islands — and only a small part of it is built. Buying here is a long-horizon bet, not a quick flip.
Two complaints about the district are worth checking on a specific apartment: noise from aircraft on approach, and the proximity of old Deira. In an 11-storey building, which way the windows face matters.
Propsearch passport: 11 storeys, developer Samana Holding Ltd, status "under development", spa. Developer brochure: 2 and 4 bedrooms, handover Q3 2028. Our stock as of 21 September 2026: no lots in the building; Dubai Islands median, price per square foot and stock structure.
What the complex has
Spa and sauna
Where it is
Nothing in the stock for this project right now
Lots for this project come and go, and the stock is topped up nightly. Message me — I will look through the closed bases and find the closest alternatives in Dubai Islands.
The final payment on this building falls in 2028 — under off-plan plans that is
40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security,
and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and
we will look at what the developer will accept.
The developer's brochure says Q3 2028. The date in the contract for a particular unit can differ — I check it before the deal.
What layouts are there in Ocean Crest?
2-bedroom and 4-bedroom, according to the developer's brochure. Which sizes are actually free right now depends on what is on the market; I will send the current list.
Where is Ocean Crest?
Dubai Islands. The reclaimed islands off Deira, formerly Deira Islands: beaches, hotels and new residential on the northern coast.
How much does an apartment in Ocean Crest cost?
There are no open listings for this building in the database right now. I will check the price for a particular layout against the closed databases and send it with the deal costs worked out.
A 1 425 m bridge across Dubai Creek will link Dubai Islands directly to Bur Dubai: four lanes each way, 16 000 vehicles an hour, 18.5 m above the water. The AED 786m contract targets completion by the end of 2026. What the bridge changes for the islands and the old city.
CG Developers is building Dubai's first JW Marriott residence, priced from AED 1.72 million with a Q1 2028 handover. In parallel, Nakheel has awarded a AED 527 million contract for Island B's core infrastructure — roads, water and sewage for a future 49 000 homes.
A chain of reclaimed islands under a single government master plan. Almost no coastal land with direct beach access is left inside the emirate — and one or two new projects launch here every month. The opportunity and the risk are the same fact.
A developer building on the Dubai Islands. Between handover and the first tenant there is a list of connections and registrations, and every one of them needs someone on the ground.
A developer building on the Dubai Islands. The dirham’s peg to the dollar shapes the currency risk for every foreign buyer — and the transfer mechanics have costs of their own.
A developer building villas on the Dubai Islands. A house bought off-plan on new land combines two kinds of waiting, and they resolve on different timetables.
A developer with two projects on the Dubai Islands. Beach access is sold as a feature and defined as a legal arrangement — and the two are not always the same thing.
A mid-market company that went from a handful of projects to a large pipeline in a few years. What rapid growth does to risk, and the specific evidence that separates a good scaler from a stretched one.
The state developer behind Palm Jumeirah and the Dubai Islands. The difference between a master developer and a building developer, and why it matters for what you own.
Where this project stands today
I will send the available layouts, the real entry price and what owners and tenants actually say about the building — without the brochure language.
