Construction Snapshot
Berkeley Tower at a Glance
Berkeley Tower is Ellington Properties' office tower on Sheikh Zayed Road in Business Bay, planned as 109 offices across ground plus 60 floors in the developer's configuration. Its register entries sit within a few weeks of one another: construction start recorded as 28 September 2026, the 0% reading from the RERA inspection of 1 October 2026, and registration on 13 October 2026. Against a handover scheduled for Q4 2031, roughly five years out, the record is still measured in days, and the amenity floors 32 to 35 and robotic parking system are among what later readings will have to account for.

Inspection Record
Berkeley Tower Construction Update Timeline
One dated reading makes up the Berkeley Tower record so far: 0% on the Dubai Land Department register after the RERA inspection of 1 October 2026, whose report found no construction activity on site and showed a progress status of N/A. The track below therefore carries a single dot with no earlier reading behind it, and the table holds one row; the October 2026 update it links is illustrated with a developer rendering of the planned tower, not a site photograph.

Pace Analysis
How Fast Berkeley Tower Has Been Built
Pace needs two dated readings, and the Berkeley Tower record holds one: 0% on 1 October 2026. A measured velocity starts with the next register entry; until then the only figure available is arithmetic against the registered completion date:
- Measured pace: one dated reading so far, 0% on 1 Oct 2026, so no inspection pair exists yetNot yet measurable
- 1 Oct 2026 to 31 Dec 2031: 0% to 100% over 1,917 days to the registered date, arithmetic, not a forecastAbout 1.56 points per month
With one entry there is no curve to read, and a 0% figure taken at the opening of the record says where Berkeley Tower begins, not how quickly the ground plus 60 floor tower will rise. What gives the arithmetic line its use is the 70/30 payment plan sitting on top of it: the first of six construction-linked 5% instalments falls due on completion of 20% of the project construction, so the readings between the 1 October 2026 baseline and that 20% mark will matter more to a buyer here than any average. For an owner-occupier planning a move into their own floor, the first reading above zero is the one to watch. For an investor, the useful comparison arrives once two dated readings exist and a measured pace can be set against the 1.56-point line to 31 December 2031; until then, the record says only that the project is at its starting point.

Berkeley Tower Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Only the first of the five stages below has a dated entry in the Berkeley Tower record so far; the rest are mapped to the payment-plan milestones and the Q4 2031 handover they lead to, and each will gain its inspection dates as register readings arrive.
Register Entry and Pre-Construction
Construction start recorded as 28 September 2026, the RERA inspection of 1 October 2026 finding no construction activity on site at a 0% register reading, and project 4417 registered on 13 October 2026.
Site Works Begin
No date is on record yet: the first Berkeley Tower register reading above the 0% of 1 October 2026 will mark when works on the ground plus 60 floor tower show up in the record.
Rising Through the Milestone Band
Six construction-linked 5% instalments fall due on completion of 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% of the project construction, so this is the band where readings and payments move together.
Enclosure, Amenity Floors and Fit-Out
The pleated, louvered facade closes in, the amenity floors 32 to 35 take shape and offices are fitted out; no Berkeley Tower reading sits in this band yet.
Commissioning and Handover
Double-deck lifts, robotic parking and building systems are commissioned before the Q4 2031 handover, against a registered completion date of 31 December 2031 and the final 30% due on completion.
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 Berkeley Tower's own record.

Between 0% and Handover: What Berkeley Tower Buyers Should Do Now
At the 1 October 2026 reading of 0%, none of the six construction-linked instalments on the Berkeley Tower 70/30 plan has been triggered, and the next movement in the record will come from site works rather than paperwork. The time-linked side of the plan does not wait for the site: 5% instalments fall due 90, 180, 240 and 360 days after each buyer's own reservation date, so the three steps below belong before you commit, not after the first reading above zero.
First, confirm that every instalment goes to the trust account for project 4417 held with Commercial Bank of Dubai (PSC); the Berkeley Tower escrow account page shows how to check the account against the register.
Second, if a Golden Visa is part of the reason for buying, read the Berkeley Tower Golden Visa eligibility guide first: every office tier is priced above AED 2M, but whether a commercial office qualifies depends on the ICP's current rules.
Third, follow the record from its starting point: the Berkeley Tower October 2026 inspection update holds the baseline reading in full, and each new reading is added to the timeline on this page.

FAQs
Berkeley Tower Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
Berkeley Tower is an active Dubai Land Department project, number 4417, at the pre-construction stage, with a register reading of 0% from the RERA inspection of 1 October 2026. The inspection report itself prints no percentage and shows a progress status of N/A. Every reading on record is listed in the Berkeley Tower inspection timeline above.
The RERA inspection of 1 October 2026 is the first and only one on record for Berkeley Tower, and the Dubai Land Department register shows 0% against it. With no earlier reading there is no point change to report; the inspector found that no construction activity had started on site that day. The full record for that cycle is in the October 2026 construction update for Berkeley Tower.
Handover of Berkeley Tower is scheduled for Q4 2031, and the Dubai Land Department register carries a registered completion date of 31 December 2031 for project 4417. That date has not passed: at the 0% reading of 1 October 2026 it was 1,917 days away. This page's record is updated as each new inspection is recorded against it.
Berkeley Tower comprises 109 offices, the unit count shown on the Dubai Land Department register for project 4417 at the 1 October 2026 reading of 0%. They are offered in three priced formats, Compact Office Suites, Half-Floor Offices and Full-Floor Offices, within a tower the developer configures as ground plus 60 floors. Format details are in the Berkeley Tower project overview.
The Dubai Land Department register records the Berkeley Tower construction start as 28 September 2026. The first tracked reading, 0%, comes from the RERA inspection of 1 October 2026, and the project's registration date is 13 October 2026; all three dates are shown exactly as the register records them.
Progress at Berkeley Tower is tracked through the Dubai Land Department project register for project 4417, which records a percentage after each RERA inspection; the inspection report of 1 October 2026 prints no percentage of its own, so the 0% shown here is the register reading. Each new dated reading adds a row to the timeline and a dot to the track on this page, and the method applied across every tracked project is set out in the Dubai Construction Updates methodology.
