Dubai-based Samana Developers on Monday launched a 215 million UAE dirhams ($58.53 million) residential project, ‘California,’ in Al Furjan.

The 10-storey building is the seventh out of the 12 projects slated to be launched this year, the developer said in a statement.

Imran Farooq, Chief Executive Officer of Samana Developers, said the company’s new concepts and the designs inspired by the resorts and islands are picking up well with property buyers, especially from Europe and the UK, who account for 50 percent of its investor base.

California will house 178 apartments and is scheduled for handover in December 2025.
