  "account": "SAMANA Developers has unveiled SAMANA COLLECTA, its new premium real estate brand representing the company's next growth phase and expansion into lifestyle-led development. Established among Dubai's leading developers and having completed 54 projects in Dubai alone, SAMANA is introducing a dedicated platform for a more selective portfolio featuring distinctive locations, cutting-edge design, international collaborations, and curated residential experiences. SAMANA COLLECTA emphasizes a \"life first\" philosophy, choosing sites not just for their addresses, but for the lifestyle they can provide. The brand aims to establish itself through a pipeline of destinations in Dubai and internationally, with its inaugural flagship project located on The World Islands, boasting a gross development value surpassing Dh4 billion.\n\nThe development will comprise 840 branded residences, seven floating villas, and two tree villas, all set to redefine living on an island designed for year-round occupancy. Imran Farooq, CEO of SAMANA Developers, emphasizes that SAMANA COLLECTA is about taking what the company has learned and applying it to the premium segment, with a stronger focus on location, design, experience, and the way people want to live. The World Islands project is being meticulously planned to deliver residential living year-round, combining privacy, waterfront access, and the services, amenities, and connectivity expected from a primary residence. The island will boast multiple beaches, a lagoon, swimming pools, a beach club, water sports facilities, spas, gyms, co-working spaces, a dedicated welcome center, and everyday retail and services tailored to residents' daily needs. Core amenities are slated to be operational from the first handover, while a Michelin-starred culinary partner will contribute to the destination with a diverse range of restaurant concepts, including a signature floating Italian restaurant.\n\nSAMANA COLLECTA will offer varied entry points into premium island living, starting at under Dh2 million, with residences featuring studios, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom homes, all boasting sea views and designed to maximize visual connection with the water. The island's Italian-inspired landscaping will complement the residences, created in collaboration with a globally recognized Italian luxury brand known for its design heritage and contemporary style. The brand identity will be unveiled separately. This initiative marks a broader evolution in SAMANA's development strategy, transitioning from individual residential buildings to complete lifestyle destinations. The World Islands development will lead a series of projects under SAMANA COLLECTA as the company explores selected international lifestyle and waterfront destinations in its next growth phase.",
