The Edge by Select Group Construction Updates

Construction Snapshot

The Edge by Select Group at a Glance

The Edge is Select Group's 1,030-residence twin-tower development on the Business Bay stretch of Dubai Canal, built for the affordable end of a district where most new stock opens far higher. Just under three years separate its 09 June 2023 construction start from the 88.86% recorded at the April 2026 inspection, and the figures below are the DLD-registered anchors behind that record. A 65,564.27 sq m built-up area across 1,030 units is a compact footprint, the efficient-layout signature of a project designed for a dense central plot rather than sprawling canal frontage.

Figures from Dubai Land Department registration records, updated after each recorded inspection. How every project on this site is tracked is explained once on the Dubai Construction Updates hub.

Pace Analysis

How Fast The Edge by Select Group Has Been Built

Reading the pace across the record tells buyers more than any single percentage. Anchored to The Edge's June 2023 start and its two dated inspections, the build splits into two clear phases:

• Jun 2023 start to Jun 2025 inspection: groundworks and superstructure, 0% to 42.01%About 1.7 points per month
• Jun 2025 to Apr 2026: facade, MEP, and fit-out, 42.01% to 88.86%About 4.5 points per month

The shape of that curve is what an experienced eye looks for. The first two years ran at a measured pace while enabling, foundation, and substructure works were completed and the twin towers began rising, the stage that always moves the percentage slowly. Progress then more than doubled its rate once the structure was up and facade, MEP, and internal finishing could run in parallel across both towers, carrying the reading to 88.86% by 23 April 2026. That April figure sits in the finishing band, where the remaining points come from commissioning and approvals rather than visible construction, and the DLD expected completion of 11 October 2026 is the window this phase is closing toward. For an investor weighing exit timing or an end user planning their move, a near-90% project moving into commissioning is the profile you want at this point in the record.

Stage Record

The Edge by Select Group Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections

Rather than a generic construction sequence, each stage below is anchored to the window it actually occupied in this project's record, so you can see when The Edge passed through it against its two dated inspections.

What each construction stage involves in general is covered once in the guides on the Dubai Construction Updates hub, so this page stays focused on The Edge's own record.

Approaching Handover

Between 88.86% and Handover: What The Edge Buyers Should Do Now

The gap between the April reading and 100% is closed by commissioning, approvals, and final works rather than visible construction, which makes this the window where buyer preparation matters most. Handover notices at comparable projects typically give buyers a short window to complete their appointment, so the three steps below happen now, not when the notice arrives.

First, arrange independent snagging so defects in your residence are documented before you accept it; the The Edge snagging page covers timing and what gets inspected.

Second, confirm your remaining installments against the certified milestones on the The Edge escrow account page so final payments track verified progress, not requests, especially under the 30/70 plan where the larger share falls due at completion.

Third, if your purchase may qualify for residency, settle eligibility before handover through the The Edge Golden Visa guide, since the title deed timing affects the application path.
