Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2 Construction Progress Summary
Between the January 2026 and September 2026 inspections, Antigua moved from 0% to 0.32% in the DLD project register, and the report dated 16 September 2026 explains the change: mobilization on going, enabling progressing at an early stage, progress status Enabling Works - Progressing. Counted from the registered construction start of 15 July 2026, that is 0.32 points in 63 days, about 0.15 points per 30 days; this is arithmetic on two dated register entries, not a forecast.
- Construction start entered in the DLD register for 15 July 2026
- No works package recorded as finished at the 16 September 2026 visit
- Site mobilization, recorded as on going
- Enabling works on plot 21569, at an early stage
- Progress status logged as Enabling Works - Progressing
- Close of enabling works, then foundations
- Concrete frames for the G+1 and G+2 townhouses and villas
- Block walls with internal and external finishing packages
- Anticipated handover in June 2030; registered completion 31 December 2030
Payment Linked Progress
What 0.32% Progress Means for Antigua Buyers
Antigua instalments are dated from each sale, not from site readings: 20% on booking, 55% across 47 monthly instalments from month 3 to month 49, and 25% on completion. The move from 0% to 0.32% therefore shifts no due date; what it adds is the first site activity on record, and four checks follow from it.
Verify the escrow account
Every monthly instalment, like the 20% booking deposit before it, belongs only in the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 4369, and the September 2026 inspection report names Mashreq Bank PSC as trust account bank. Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2 escrow account verification comes before any transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Match your SPA dates to the record
Check the dates your sale and purchase agreement sets for the 3% instalments (the 6th, 12th, 18th and 24th) and for the 25% due on completion, then set them beside the June 2030 handover and the 31 December 2030 registered completion date. Not sure how your instalments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Check your Oqood registration
The 4% DLD registration fee, paid on top of the 20% deposit, registers your off plan unit against project 4369 through the Oqood process. With a construction start now in the register, confirm that your own registration documents carry that project number and match the unit in your SPA.
Watch for the move to foundations
The 0.32% reading is the first dated change in the Antigua record, and the step from enabling works to foundations is the next one to look for. Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2 construction updates hub files every reading with its inspection date.
General framework, not legal advice: milestone definitions, notice periods, and fee obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 0.32%?
Entering Antigua as enabling works begin trades certainty for runway: the site is mobilized but no structure is on record, and nearly the whole instalment schedule still lies ahead of a new buyer. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 4369, released against verified construction progress.
- 0.32% recorded on 16 September 2026, enabling works under way
- About 45 months to the anticipated June 2030 handover
- 20% on booking, 55% in monthly instalments, 25% on completion
- Construction risk carried from an unbuilt plot to handover
- Several years of waiting is the usual delivery horizon
- The full instalment runway, priced at launch levels

About the Development
Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2 Project Details
With mobilization on going and enabling works at an early stage in September 2026, Antigua is an enabling stage development of 468 G+1 and G+2 homes, spanning 4 and 5 bedroom townhouses, 5 bedroom twin villas and 6 bedroom luxury villas. Starting prices: AED 2.75M ≈ USD 749K.
For buyers entering now, the trade off is a wait of close to four years against a long instalment runway: handover is expected in June 2030, and the published plan collects 75% of the price before completion.

Explore Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2 Location on Dubai Map
Plot 21569 in Al Yelayiss 1 is where the 16 September 2026 inspection found mobilization on going and enabling works at an early stage, the preparatory phase that readies ground for the foundations of 468 low-rise homes; because Antigua is one of eight island clusters in the DAMAC Islands 2 masterplan, its enabling works form one part of a much larger Dubailand development area.
That masterplan covers 20 million sq ft, and by the developer's drive times the Expo 2020 venue is about 20 minutes away and Al Maktoum International Airport about 23, with Sports City, Motor City and DAMAC Hills about 15. Inside DAMAC Islands 2 the shared lagoons, parks and internal roads remain masterplan commitments at this stage, so a buyer judging the address in September 2026 is weighing a planned district rather than a finished one.

Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2 Construction Progress in September 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
The Dubai Land Department project register shows 0.32% current progress for Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2 (project 4369) at the inspection dated 16 September 2026, against 0% at the previous inspection on 28 January 2026. That 0.32 point gain is the first movement on record, and the inspection report for the same visit sets its progress status to Enabling Works - Progressing.
A single reading of 0.32% cannot confirm or rule out a June 2030 handover: it is the first measurable figure, recorded about 45 months before that date. The developer's anticipated completion is June 2030, the handover date quoted to buyers, while the DLD project register lists a registered completion date of 31 December 2030 as of September 2026. Either date can be revised between inspection cycles, and each dated reading is filed on the Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2 construction updates hub.
The register dates the construction start to 15 July 2026, and the inspection of 16 September 2026 recorded 0.32%, so 0.32 points were logged over those 63 days, or about 0.15 points per 30 days. That is simple arithmetic on two dated register entries, not a forecast: enabling works are preparatory, and later stages such as foundations and the concrete structure are recorded at their own rates.
The report dated 16 September 2026 records mobilization on going and enabling works progressing at an early stage on plot 21569. It does not itemize those works or record any foundation or structural activity yet; on a low-rise site this phase usually means setting up the site and preparing the ground before the concrete structure of the G+1 and G+2 homes begins.
The 0% listed as Previous Inspection on the register screen for 16 September 2026 is the 28 January 2026 reading, taken when the inspection report recorded no construction activity on site. The register sets each new reading beside the one before it, which is why September's 0.32% appears as a gain from zero rather than as a standalone figure.
No. Under the published Antigua plan, 20% plus the 4% DLD registration fee is paid on booking and 55% falls due across 47 monthly instalments from month 3 to month 49 after the sale; only the final 25% is linked to completion. Because no instalment is tied to a construction percentage, the September 2026 reading moves no due date, and every transfer still belongs in the project escrow account held with Mashreq Bank PSC.
