Samana Rome is a boutique five storey residential development by Samana Developers in Meydan District 11, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City), Dubai. It offers 80 Apartments, one and two bedroom apartments sized between 928 - 1,345 sq. Ft. priced from AED 2.0 Million, with a 15/35/50 payment plan and possession scheduled for Q4 2028.
The project takes its design language from Rome, and that is more than a marketing label here. The facade work, the proportions and the finishing palette lean toward classical European detailing rather than the glass tower formula most of Meydan's new launches follow. With only 80 units in the entire building, residents get something genuinely scarce in this corridor: a low rise address where the lobby, the amenity deck and the corridors never feel crowded.
Location is the second half of the story. District 11 is located inside MBR City, the master development widely positioned as Dubai's next Downtown. The district is bordered by Ras Al Khor Road and Al Ain Road, which is why the drive times read the way they do. Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa in about 15 minutes, Business Bay and Dubai Design District in around 10, Dubai International Airport in roughly 16. For a daily commuter or a short term rental guest, very little of the city feels far.
For investors, the structure of the deal matters as much as the address. The 15 percent booking and 35 percent construction stage payments mean 50 percent the capital is committed before keys, which keeps the holding cost light through the build period. Boutique supply also works in the owner's favour at resale and leasing time, since 80 units do not flood their own market the way an 800 unit tower can.
The 15/35/50 structure translates into simple numbers at entry level. Around AED 15 % booking, roughly 35 % spread across the construction period, and about 50% due only when the keys are ready in 2028. Completion weighted plans like this one suit two kinds of buyers particularly well: investors who want minimum capital locked into an unfinished asset, and end users who need time to arrange handover stage financing while the building rises.
Three buyer profiles fit this Samana Rome in Meydan naturally. End users who want a genuinely spacious 1 or 2 bedroom home within 15 minutes of Downtown, without paying tower premiums. NRI and overseas investors who value a light entry ticket, a hands off construction period and a 2028 delivery aligned with MBR City's build out. And Golden Visa seekers, for whom the 2 bedroom inventory clears the AED 2 million qualification mark inside a project already marketed on that basis. Buyers hunting ultra cheap studio yields or immediate ready to move stock are the only groups this address does not serve.
Two things deserve honest framing. District 11 is still a maturing pocket, so buyers should expect ongoing construction activity in the surrounding plots through the handover window. And the 50 percent completion payment is a large single milestone, so financing or liquidity for that final tranche should be planned at booking, not at handover. Neither point changes the case for the project, but a prepared buyer is a confident buyer.
The floor plans cover exactly two configurations, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments, running from 928 sq ft at entry to 1,345 sq ft at the top of the range. Layouts follow Samana's resort led planning approach, with open living and dining zones, defined kitchen areas and balconies drawn as genuine outdoor living space rather than token slivers. Detailed unit wise plans for both configurations are available in the project brochure.
The amenity programme is built around daily use rather than show. Residents get a swimming pool, a fitted gymnasium, a jogging track, a clubhouse, a spa, landscaped green surroundings and a dedicated kids' play area, supported by retail and dining outlets at the convenience level, covered car parking and round the clock security. In a building of 80 homes, these facilities operate at a fraction of the load they would carry in a high rise, which in practice means free lanes in the pool and no queue for the squat rack. That low density amenity experience is one of the quiet advantages boutique buyers pay for.
Rome by Samana is located in District 11 of MBR City, the Meydan corridor that spreads along Ras Al Khor Road and Al Ain Road across roughly 40 million sq ft of planned community. The address places residents about 10 minutes from Liwan, 11 minutes from Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, 14 minutes from Dubai Silicon Oasis and 15 minutes from both Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai. Dubai International Airport is around a 16 minute drive, with Motor City and Al Barsha South at about 17 minutes. Meydan Mall handles everyday retail at roughly 15 minutes. The practical read: this is a central, in between position that touches the business core, the airport and the leisure belt without paying Downtown tower prices.

Rome by Samana is a boutique five storey residential project by Samana Developers in District 11, MBR City, Dubai, offering 80 one and two bedroom apartments with Rome inspired architecture and handover scheduled for 2028.
It is located in Meydan District 11 within MBR City, between Ras Al Khor Road and Al Ain Road, about 15 minutes from Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa and roughly 16 minutes from Dubai International Airport.
Prices start from AED 2.0 million for a 1 bedroom apartment of 928 sq ft.
The payment plan is 15 percent on booking, 35 percent during construction and 50 percent on completion, meaning half the price is paid only at handover.
Possession is scheduled for 2028, giving buyers a construction runway of roughly two years from a mid 2026 booking.
The project offers 1 and 2 bedroom apartments ranging from 928 to 1,345 sq ft, with the entry 1 bedroom notably larger than the typical Dubai 1 BR launch size.
The project is marketed as eligible for the 10 Year Golden Visa, which requires a property value of AED 2 million or more. With entry at AED 1.97M, most inventory above the base unit crosses the threshold, so confirm your unit price at booking.
The combination of an 80 unit boutique format, an MBR City address near Downtown, a 50 percent completion weighted payment plan and a Q4 2028 handover positions it for both end use and rental led strategies, though buyers should plan liquidity for the large final payment.
