About California

Project Overview

California is a single-tower residential development of 178 units configured as ground plus podium plus 10 floors plus roof (G+P+10+R). The project is being delivered by Samana Developers, a UAE developer known for building amenity-dense mid-rise towers across Dubai's growth corridors. Construction commenced in December 2023 and the project is registered under Dubai Land Department oversight with escrow held at Emirates NBD Bank.

The building's defining feature is its private-pool apartment concept, where select units include their own pool space rather than relying solely on shared facilities. This is paired with a large shared pool deck and podium-level recreation zone, giving the tower a resort-style layout within a compact single-building footprint.

Unit Mix & Layouts

California offers studio, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments, including a 2-bedroom deluxe layout, across its 178 total units. Several of these configurations are available with an in-unit pool option, a layout choice aimed at buyers seeking added privacy over standard balcony units.

The compact unit count relative to the building's height keeps density low for a mid-rise project, which supports quieter shared-amenity usage on the podium level compared to larger master-planned towers in the same price bracket.

Amenities & Podium Facilities

The podium level houses the project's main recreational infrastructure: a main swimming pool, a full indoor and outdoor gymnasium, sauna and steam rooms, and a kids' pool with dedicated play area. An outdoor cinema and rooftop padel and tennis courts extend the amenity offering to the building's upper level.

Additional features include a jogging track, barbeque area, waterfall feature, splash pad for kids, and landscaped greenery around the pool deck, positioning the building for residents who prioritize on-site leisure over off-site club memberships.

Developer Track Record

Samana Developers has positioned itself as one of the faster-growing developers in the UAE, with a portfolio built around amenity-led residential towers and in-house project delivery. California forms part of the developer's wider project pipeline, including a Phase II extension referenced in company marketing materials.

The developer has been recognized with industry awards, which it cites as part of its market positioning alongside a consistent design language of private pools and resort-style podiums applied across its buildings.
