Ocean Pearl is an 8-storey residential building by Samana Holding on Dubai Islands. Status: under construction. The number of residences is not listed in the building record.
In our own stock, a unit is listed at AED 3 million; the size isn't given, so we don't quote a price per square foot.
For Samana this is a step outside its usual mass-market belt: its other projects are in JVC, Arjan, Majan, Dubai Land and Production City.
Reference points across the islands: from AED 1,696 at Bay Villas to AED 2,971 at Ellington Sands II.

Our own stock as of 28 August 2026: 89 lots across the islands, median AED 5.4 million, average price per square foot AED 2,300. Includes projects with three or more lots and a verified area.
Dubai Islands in our database: 89 lots, median AED 5.4 million, average price per square foot AED 2,300.
Samana normally builds in districts where the price per square foot runs AED 1,380–2,125. On the islands the average is AED 2,300 — above its usual level.
We've seen this kind of move before, with Mina by Azizi on Palm Jumeirah: a mass-market developer in an expensive district prices above its own portfolio and below the district level.
For a buyer that's an affordable way in with a clear caveat: you get the address and proximity to the sea, not the class of building that's the district norm. Check the finishes against the contract, not the renders.
Ocean Pearl went on sale in July 2024 from USD 436,000, about AED 1.6 million. It is a low-rise building on the second line with few neighbours; handover was then put at 2026–2027.
The plan is long: 20% on booking, then 1% a month over 80 months, four years of which fall after handover. Apartments were specified with private pools, smart-home systems and kitchen appliances, and the building with an open-air cinema, a sauna and a pool.
The propsearch building record: 8 storeys, developer Samana Holding, status "under construction." Our own stock as of 28 August 2026: the project's lot (price), the calculation across island projects, and medians and price per square foot for Dubai Islands and Samana's usual mass-market districts. Price, timeline, payment plan and specification — launch announcements, July–August 2024.
The final payment on this building falls in 2027 — 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.
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 project is under construction. I check the exact date for a particular unit in the contract before the deal.
Dubai Islands. The reclaimed islands off Deira, formerly Deira Islands: beaches, hotels and new residential on the northern coast.
The database currently holds 1 lot in this project, from 3 000 000 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 27%. The list changes daily — I will send a fresh selection for the building on request.
What has been written about the building, its developer and Dubai Islands
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.
I will send the available layouts, the real entry price and what owners and tenants actually say about the building — without the brochure language.
