Data source: the Dubai Land Department project register (Dubai REST, listed as "Bay Grove Residences, Dubai Islands"), showing 6.6% current progress and 3.7% at the previous inspection for the entry dated 21 July 2026, read with the Independent Progress Monitoring Report of the same date. It is the latest reading in the record supplied for this page and was 66 days old when the page was prepared in September 2026. The hero image is a project rendering, not a photograph of 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: July 2026.

Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 Construction Progress Summary
Between the 28 April and 21 July 2026 inspections, the register took Phase 1 from 3.7% to 6.6%: 2.90 points in 84 days, about 1.04 points per 30-day month by simple arithmetic on the two dated readings. Counted from the registered construction start of 22 December 2024, the whole build shows 6.6 points in 576 days, about 0.34 a month. At this reading, 93.4 points and 603 days remained before the 15 March 2028 registered completion date, with handover scheduled for September 2028. These are recorded figures placed side by side, not a forecast.
- Entered in the DLD register on 4 October 2024; construction start 22 December 2024
- Earlier dated readings: 0% on 17 June 2025, 1.21% on 26 January 2026, 3.7% on 28 April 2026
- Enabling Works - Progressing held as the report status through all three 2026 inspections
- Foundation works progressing, named in the monitoring report for the first time
- Piling still listed as progressing on 21 July 2026
- Enabling works continuing across the plot
- Five inspection photographs filed with the 21 July 2026 register entry
- The single basement and ground level on which all four buildings will stand
- Four superstructures, rising to B+G+20+R at Building 04 and B+G+13+R at Building 02
- Registered completion date 15 March 2028, then handover scheduled for September 2028
Payment Linked Progress
What 6.6% Progress Means for Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 Buyers
By the month of the 21 July 2026 inspection, the Phase 1 launch schedule of record had called 65% of the price on calendar dates (20% on booking plus five instalments through July 2026), set against a register reading of 6.6%. That is arithmetic on the launch schedule, not a statement about any buyer's payments; your own SPA governs. At this stage, four checks matter.
Verify the escrow account
The next dated instalment on the launch schedule, 5% in November 2026, should be paid only into the DLD regulated escrow account for project 3293 at First Abu Dhabi Bank. Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 escrow account verification comes before any transfer; the check takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Reread your SPA payment schedule
Your sale and purchase agreement may not follow the launch schedule, so set its own due dates, the balance it leaves for handover, and its definition of the September 2028 handover beside the 6.6% reading. Not sure how your installments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded register readings.
Check your Oqood registration
Off plan sales at Phase 1 are registered with the DLD on Oqood under project 3293. Compare the unit number, price and buyer names on that entry with your SPA, and on a booking made now, ask the developer when the entry is expected to issue.
Follow the foundation stage
July 2026 brought the first report to name foundation works; later readings will show when basement and superstructure activity enters the notes. Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 construction updates hub keeps each dated reading and interval together.
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 6.6%?
At 6.6%, everything on record at Phase 1 is groundwork: enabling, piling and now foundation works, with no superstructure listed in the July 2026 report. Entering here means carrying the whole build of four buildings, in exchange for choosing a home before any of its floors exist. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 3293, released against inspected construction progress.
- Register reading of 6.6% on 21 July 2026, with foundation works listed as progressing
- 603 days to the registered completion date; handover scheduled for September 2028
- Launch schedule balance after July 2026: 5% in November 2026 and 30% on handover
- Buildings already up and inspected when the contract is signed
- A short wait between purchase and handover
- Fewer layouts, floors and views left to pick from
Open units and booking terms sit outside the DLD record and shift between cycles; both are confirmed at reservation and fixed in the SPA.
About the Development
Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 Project Details
By the July 2026 inspection, foundation works had joined enabling and piling at Phase 1, the base for four buildings holding 296 residential units: 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and 4 bedroom penthouses. Starting prices: AED 1.85M ≈ USD 504K.
An entry during the foundation stage puts every storey still to be built, up to Building 04 at B+G+20+R, between signing and the September 2028 handover; what it offers in return is a choice made before a single floor exists.
Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 by Nakheel Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 Location on Dubai Map
Plot 3031 sits on the Crystal Beach frontage of Island B, and because the four Phase 1 buildings share one combined basement and one combined ground level, the foundations now listed in the July 2026 report serve one shared base planned across the plot rather than four separate footprints. Above it, the developer plans a green podium with gardens and an infinity pool connecting the buildings, and a raised ocean pool and boardwalk toward the beach.
For daily life after the September 2028 handover, the developer fact sheet times Infinity Bridge at 6 minutes from the project, Dubai Hospital at 8, BurJuman Mall at 18 and Port Rashid at 19, so the established services of Deira and Bur Dubai are the nearest reference points for anyone weighing the July 2026 record against living on or letting from Island B.

Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 Construction Progress in July 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
The Dubai Land Department project register recorded 6.6% for Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 (project 3293) at the inspection dated 21 July 2026, with 3.7% shown as the previous inspection, the reading dated 28 April 2026. That is a rise of 2.90 points over 84 days, the largest step between consecutive dated readings in a Phase 1 record that runs from 0% on 17 June 2025 through 1.21% on 26 January 2026.
The two dates come from different sources. 15 March 2028 is the registered completion date in the DLD project register, 603 days after the 21 July 2026 inspection; September 2028 is the estimated construction completion printed on Nakheel's payment schedule and is the scheduled handover used on this page. Neither is fixed: a registered date can be revised between inspection cycles, and the handover terms that bind a buyer are those in the individual sales and purchase agreement.
The Independent Progress Monitoring Report dated 21 July 2026 states that enabling, piling and foundation works were progressing at the site, making it the first report in the Phase 1 record to name foundation works, and its inspection photographs show reinforcement and formwork across the plot. The report does not say which of the four buildings, or how much of the combined basement, the foundation works cover, so no share of the foundations is claimed here.
Nakheel's launch payment schedule of record runs on dates, not readings: 20% on booking, then 10% in March 2025, 5% in July 2025, 10% in November 2025, 10% in March 2026 and 10% in July 2026, which totals 65% by the month of the 21 July 2026 inspection, with 5% set for November 2026 and 30% on handover in September 2028. The 65% and the 6.6% therefore measure different things, calendar instalments and recorded construction. The schedule is the launch record rather than a current offer, and the dates and amounts that bind a buyer are those in the individual sales and purchase agreement.
Between 28 April and 21 July 2026 the register moved 2.90 points in 84 days, about 1.04 points per 30-day month. Measured from the registered construction start of 22 December 2024, the whole build reached 6.6 points in 576 days, about 0.34 points a month. At the July reading, 93.4 points and 603 days remained before the 15 March 2028 registered completion date. These are recorded figures set side by side by simple arithmetic, not a forecast, and every dated interval is laid out on the Bay Grove Residences Phase 1 construction updates hub.
The monitoring report carries two separate items: a Progress Status label beside its RERA progress indicator, and free-text inspection notes. On 21 July 2026 the notes added foundation works to enabling and piling, while the label stayed at Enabling Works - Progressing, the value shown on the January and April 2026 reports as well. The report does not state when the label moves to a later stage, so for this inspection the notes are where foundation activity first appears in the record.
