Construction Snapshot
Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands at a Glance
Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands is DAMAC Properties' cluster of 946 townhouses and villas in DAMAC Islands, Dubailand, and its construction record runs today through one register entry: Bora Bora 1, project 3498, registered on 5 February 2025 and started on 21 April 2025. Because its homes stop at G+1 or G+2 heights, the early record of the phase is read in foundations and infrastructure spread across 251 homes at once, not in floors added to a single core.

Inspection Record
Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands Construction Update Timeline
Two dated readings make up the Bora Bora 1 record so far: 2.24% on 4 May 2026, a little over a year after the 21 April 2025 start, and 6.77% on 12 October 2026, when the phase's Progress Status read Main Contract - Progressing. The track below places both on the road to 100%; the table links the October 2026 update, and the May figure is listed as a register reading because no update page was published for it.

Pace Analysis
How Fast Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands Has Been Built
Two dated readings give Bora Bora 1 one measured span. The other two figures are reference points for the same phase, and all three are arithmetic, not a forecast:
- May 2026 to Oct 2026: foundation and substructure phase, 2.24% to 6.77% over 161 daysAbout 0.84 points per month
- Apr 2025 start to Oct 2026: whole-build average, start to 6.77% over 539 daysAbout 0.38 points per month
- Oct 2026 to the 31 Dec 2028 registered completion date for Bora Bora 1: the remaining 93.23 points over 811 daysAbout 3.45 points per month
Read together, the figures describe a record picking up from a slow start. The first dated reading, 2.24% on 4 May 2026, came a little over a year after the 21 April 2025 start, and the five months to 12 October 2026 added about twice as much again, which is why the measured span runs at more than double the whole-build average. Early-stage readings normally move slowly before structure works begin. The required-rate reference sits at roughly four times the measured pace, and it frames how much of the climb toward the expected Q4 2028 handover falls to the structure and finishing stages still ahead. For an end user, the reading to wait for is the first one that records structure works; for an investor, the span that follows it will say more about delivery pace at Bora Bora 1 than any figure on the record today.

About Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands
A reading for one phase only makes sense next to what the whole cluster delivers. The project guide covers the homes this record is building toward:

Bora Bora 1 recorded 6.77% on 12 October 2026, so an entry today comes with most of the build, and most of the record, still ahead. If this page is part of how you are weighing that, ask me which Bora Bora homes are currently offered and which phase each one sits in.

Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Each stage below is pinned to the window it occupies in the Bora Bora 1 record, from the 5 February 2025 registration to the 31 December 2028 registered completion date, so the two dated readings so far sit where they belong in a build of 251 low-rise homes.
Registration and Construction Start
Bora Bora 1 entered the DLD register as project 3498 on 5 February 2025; 75 days on, 21 April 2025 is recorded as its construction start.
Mobilisation, Enabling Works and Foundations
The 4 May 2026 reading of 2.24% and the 12 October 2026 reading of 6.77% both fall here; by October, enabling works were well advanced and foundation, substructure and infrastructure works were moving in parallel.
Concrete Structure and Blockwork
Next in line for the 251 G+1 and G+2 townhouses and villas of Bora Bora 1; no reading so far has recorded structure works.
MEP, Internal and External Finishes
MEP was still early on 12 October 2026; the interior and exterior finishing that the inspection report specifies for each home comes after the frame and block walls.
Completion and Handover
31 December 2028 is the registered completion date on the Bora Bora 1 record, matching the Q4 2028 handover expected for the cluster; the closing inspection joins this record when it is made.
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 Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands's own record.

Between 6.77% and Handover: What Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands Buyers Should Do Now
At the 12 October 2026 inspection, Bora Bora 1 stood at 6.77% with its groundworks, substructure and site infrastructure still in progress, so the visible rise of the homes lies ahead. DAMAC's launch plan for DAMAC Islands dates instalments from the sale rather than from construction stages, which means payments keep falling due while the record moves through foundations: the three checks below belong before your next instalment date, not at handover. This is DAMAC's launch payment plan for DAMAC Islands (November 2024 sheets); confirm the current Bora Bora schedule with DAMAC and in your SPA.
First, check that every transfer goes to your phase's own registered escrow account; Emirates NBD holds the trust account of Bora Bora 1 (project 3498), and the Bora Bora escrow account page shows how to confirm it against the DLD record.
Second, if residency is part of your plan, settle the route early through the Bora Bora Golden Visa guide, since the document that carries your property value differs between an off-plan application and one made after handover.
Third, follow the record reading by reading: the Bora Bora October 2026 inspection report sets out the works found on 12 October 2026, and each new dated reading joins the timeline above, with structure works the next stage to watch for.

FAQs
Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
As of 12 October 2026, Bora Bora 1, the first registered phase of the Bora Bora cluster (DLD project 3498), was an active project with the Progress Status Main Contract - Progressing and a register reading of 6.77%. That figure belongs to Bora Bora 1 alone; the dated record is laid out in the Bora Bora 1 inspection timeline above.
Two dated readings: 2.24% recorded on 4 May 2026, then 6.77% recorded on 12 October 2026, a rise of 4.53 points. Both follow the DLD registration of Bora Bora 1 on 5 February 2025 and its recorded construction start on 21 April 2025; the October reading is detailed in the Bora Bora October 2026 construction update, while the May reading has no update page of its own.
As arithmetic for Bora Bora 1 only, not a forecast: between 4 May and 12 October 2026 the phase gained about 0.84 points per 30-day month; averaged from the 21 April 2025 start to the 6.77% reading of 12 October 2026 the figure is about 0.38; and finishing by the 31 December 2028 registered completion date would need about 3.45 points per month across the 811 days left. The comparison is set out in the Bora Bora 1 pace analysis above.
They line up: handover for the Bora Bora cluster is expected in Q4 2028, and the registered completion date on the Bora Bora 1 record, as shown at the 12 October 2026 inspection, is 31 December 2028. The registered date is the developer's filing rather than a promise, your SPA holds the contractual date, and Bora Bora 2 to 4 may carry their own dates on their own records.
The Bora Bora cluster totals 946 homes, built as 4 and 5 bedroom townhouses and 6 bedroom villas. The Bora Bora 1 record (DLD project 3498) covers 251 units, listed in the 12 October 2026 inspection report as G+1 and G+2 townhouses and villas; every register figure on this page applies to those 251 units only.
Phase by phase: Bora Bora 1 to 4 each hold a separate Dubai Land Department project record and a separate escrow account. As of the 12 October 2026 inspection, this hub follows the record of Bora Bora 1 (project 3498, 251 units) and publishes no reading for the other phases, so a buyer in Bora Bora 2, 3 or 4 should look up the project named in their SPA on Dubai REST and confirm that phase's account using the Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands escrow verification guide.
