Data source: the Dubai Land Department project register (Dubai REST, listed as "Bay Grove Residences, Dubai Islands"), showing 3.7% current progress and 1.21% at the previous inspection for the entry dated 28 April 2026, read together with the Independent Progress Monitoring Report of that date. This page is a record of that inspection: the reading was 150 days old when the page was prepared in September 2026, and the following reading sits on the July 2026 update. The hero shows developer project imagery, not the site as inspected. Construction tracking against RERA inspection data runs across the full tohidfetrat.com project portfolio and is reviewed after every published cycle. Last updated: April 2026.

Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 Construction Progress Summary
From the 26 January 2026 inspection to the 28 April 2026 inspection, Phase 1 went from 1.21% to 3.7% in the Dubai Land Department project register: 2.49 points in 92 days, about 0.81 points per 30-day month by simple arithmetic on the two dated readings, not a forecast. The earlier interval, June 2025 to January 2026, measured about 0.16 points a month, and the monitoring report status held at Enabling Works - Progressing through both of the 2026 inspections.

- Enabling works progressing, per the 28 April 2026 monitoring report
- Piling works progressing on site
- Status unchanged since January: Enabling Works - Progressing
- Three inspection photographs filed with the 28 April 2026 entry
- Foundations for the one combined basement beneath all four buildings
- Superstructures from Building 03 at B+G+7+R to Building 04 at B+G+20+R
- Registered completion 15 March 2028; handover scheduled for September 2028
Payment Linked Progress
What 3.7% Progress Means for Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 Buyers
The Phase 1 launch schedule of record runs on the calendar: its fourth instalment was set for March 2026, a month before this inspection, and its fifth for July 2026, whatever the register showed in between. At 3.7%, four checks keep payments and paperwork in line with that schedule.
Verify the escrow account
With the launch schedule placing a 10% instalment in July 2026, each transfer should reach only the DLD regulated escrow account for project 3293 held at First Abu Dhabi Bank. Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 escrow account verification is the step before paying; the lookup takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Reread your SPA payment schedule
Set the dates in your sale and purchase agreement beside the launch schedule of record, which runs from its March 2026 instalment to one set for July 2026, and confirm how the agreement defines the September 2028 handover. Not sure how your installments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded register readings.
Confirm your Oqood entry
Oqood is the DLD's interim register entry for an off plan unit. A launch-period purchase should already appear under project 3293; on a new booking, ask when the entry will be issued, then match its unit number and price to your SPA before the next dated instalment.
Watch for the move to foundations
Enabling and piling were listed in both the January and April 2026 reports; later readings will show whether foundation works enter the record. Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 construction updates hub lines up every dated reading with its measured pace.
General framework, not legal advice: instalment dates, registration steps, and handover notice terms are fixed by your own SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 3.7%?
At 3.7%, the works on record at Phase 1 are enabling and piling, the groundwork beneath the future buildings, which leaves the full superstructure ahead and the widest spread of layouts, levels and outlooks across the four buildings. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 3293, released against inspected construction progress.
- Register reading of 3.7% on 28 April 2026, enabling and piling progressing
- Registered completion date 687 days after this inspection; handover in September 2028
- The final 30% of the launch schedule falls due at handover
- Frame and facade standing and inspected before you commit
- Months, not years, between purchase and keys
- A thinner choice of remaining layouts and floors
Availability is not part of the DLD record and changes between cycles; the units still open and the terms for a new booking are confirmed at reservation and set in the SPA.
About the Development
Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 Project Details
At the April 2026 inspection, Phase 1 was a piling-stage site: enabling and piling works were progressing beneath what will become one combined basement and four buildings holding 296 residential units, from 1 bedroom apartments to 4 bedroom penthouses. Starting prices: AED 1.85M ≈ USD 504K.
Buying at this point means waiting through every superstructure, from Building 03 at B+G+7+R to Building 04 at B+G+20+R, in return for an early pick of floors and orientation, with handover scheduled by Nakheel for September 2028.

Explore Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 Location on Dubai Map
Phase 1 stands on plot 3031, the first plot reached on arrival at Island B, in the island's Marina district facing Crystal Beach, which the developer fact sheet gives a length of 500 m. The four buildings are planned at angles that open their views to the water, with a promenade between them and the sand, so the piling recorded in April 2026 is the groundwork beneath those orientations and the single shared basement.
Island B is among the Dubai Islands closest to the mainland, and the developer brochure links the islands to the city through the new access bridge and Infinity Bridge; the fact sheet times Dubai International Airport at 18 minutes and Downtown Dubai at 26. For a buyer reading the April 2026 record, the location can be judged on those links now, while the homes themselves remain a September 2028 handover.

Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 Construction Progress in April 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
The Dubai Land Department project register recorded 3.7% for Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 (project 3293) at the inspection dated 28 April 2026, and it shows 1.21% as the previous inspection, the reading dated 26 January 2026. The change is 2.49 points over 92 days, the largest step between dated readings in the Phase 1 record up to that date.
The register record supplied with this entry lists a registered completion date of 15 March 2028, 687 days after the 28 April 2026 inspection, and Nakheel's payment schedule estimates construction completion for September 2028, the scheduled handover. That register view was captured in September 2026, so the date shown on 28 April 2026 itself should be confirmed on Dubai REST. A registered date can change from one inspection cycle to the next, and a buyer's binding handover terms are set by the individual sales and purchase agreement.
The Independent Progress Monitoring Report dated 28 April 2026 records that enabling and piling works were progressing, while the 26 January 2026 report had also listed shoring. The April report gives no reason for the difference and does not say whether shoring was finished, paused or simply not noted, so no conclusion is drawn here. Both reports carry the same status, Enabling Works - Progressing.
From 26 January to 28 April 2026 the register moved 2.49 points in 92 days, about 0.81 points per 30-day month. From 17 June 2025 to 26 January 2026 it moved 1.21 points in 223 days, about 0.16 points a month, a stretch that opened with the June 2025 report showing Pre-Construction - On Hold. Both figures are simple arithmetic on dated readings, not forecasts, and every dated interval is set out on the Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 construction updates hub.
On a piled site the usual order is to finish and test the piles, excavate to formation level, trim the pile heads, and then cast pile caps or a raft slab that ties them together; where a combined basement is planned, basement excavation and waterproofing also fall in this stretch. The April 2026 report does not describe any of these steps at Phase 1, so this is the general sequence of work, not a record of the site. The next dated reading is covered on the Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 July 2026 construction update.
Nakheel's launch payment schedule of record set a 10% fourth instalment for March 2026, a month before the 28 April 2026 inspection, and a 10% fifth instalment for July 2026. Those dates are calendar-based rather than tied to register readings, so the 3.7% figure did not move them. The schedule is the launch record, not a current offer: the dates and amounts that bind a buyer are those in the individual sales and purchase agreement.
