Berkeley Tower: Sheikh Zayed Road Office Tower Baseline
Berkeley Tower, Ellington Properties' office tower of 109 offices on Sheikh Zayed Road, entered the register at 0% in October 2026.

Verified Tower Progress Across Dubai’s Canal Side Business District
Business Bay construction updates on this page follow every tracked tower in the district, from canal side branded residences to office towers near Sheikh Zayed Road, measured against official RERA inspection data. With this many cranes in one district, the real question is not whether building is happening but which sites are keeping pace with their completion dates.
These cards carry the Business Bay projects with the most recent RERA inspections on record. Read the date before the percentage: a recent reading describes the site as it stands today, while an older one describes a tower that has already moved on.

Berkeley Tower, Ellington Properties' office tower of 109 offices on Sheikh Zayed Road, entered the register at 0% in October 2026.

Bugatti Residences is Binghatti's branded tower of 184 residences in Business Bay, logged at 65.57% at the 23 September 2026 inspection.

CHIC Tower, DAMAC's 467-residence Business Bay tower facing the Dubai Water Canal, climbed from 73.77% to 84.01% by August 2026.

Every tracked Business Bay project sits in this table with its RERA progress, latest inspection date and expected completion. The rows worth a second look are out of step with themselves: completion close at hand while the structure still rises, or an inspection date gone stale for months.

Get My Project Updates on WhatsAppBusiness Bay towers follow a predictable build sequence, from excavation and piling to fit out and final authority checks. Each stage has its own normal pace, so the same gap between two readings can be routine in one phase and a warning sign in another.
Hoardings go up, the contractor mobilizes and authority approvals are lined up before any digging starts. A reading near zero is expected for months, so the date of the first recorded inspection tells you more than the percentage.
Excavation, piling, retaining walls and basement slabs absorb months of work that barely shows above the hoarding. Delays here rarely stay contained: time lost underground usually resurfaces later as a revised handover date.
The podium is cast and the core rises floor by floor until the structure tops out. This is the phase where readings should jump visibly between inspections, so a flat result here is harder to explain than at any other stage.
Curtain wall, glazing and balconies close the tower in, and from the canal the building starts to look complete. Appearance runs ahead of reality here: a finished exterior can still hide many floors of unfinished interiors.
MEP systems, lifts, smart controls and apartment finishes go in floor by floor. Readings move in smaller steps during fit out, so slower increments are expected; what matters is that they keep moving.
Podium landscaping, drop off points, road links and waterfront access are finished around the building. Tower buyers tend to overlook this stage, yet a late road connection or podium can hold back occupancy after the building itself is done.
Authority sign offs, system testing and the building completion certificate all have to be in place before keys change hands. The handover notice then starts the snagging period, and defects recorded during it remain the developer’s responsibility rather than yours.
Most buyer disputes start between stages, not at handover. Knowing which stage your project is in is what makes an inspection worth booking.

Check My Project Stage on WhatsAppBusiness Bay delivers towers in clusters, and several often complete within a few quarters of each other a short walk apart. Timing becomes competitive as well as practical: an end user needs a realistic move in date; an investor needs to know how much new supply lands beside their unit.

Tracking progress is only one part of protecting an off plan purchase. These are the three areas buyers ask me to manage most.

Business Bay keeps attracting new towers because it sits where the Dubai Water Canal meets the city’s business core, right beside Downtown Dubai. My read is that its pull now comes as much from branded residences and canal front homes as from office space, which keeps launches coming even in a district this built up. For an end user that means a wider choice of finished homes; for an investor it means competition that rewards the better located, better delivered towers.

Business Bay construction updates track RERA inspection records, construction progress, completion milestones, and handover status across residential and commercial developments in the district, including projects under construction and completed projects.
Business Bay has a large number of towers under construction within a compact area, so completion timing shapes how much new supply reaches the rental and resale market at once. Following construction pace helps investors judge when a unit is likely to start earning and how many comparable units will compete with it.
The tracked projects are high rise towers: residential buildings, branded residences and office towers, many of them on the Dubai Water Canal or the Marasi Bay waterfront. All of them pass through the same construction stages, so their inspection data can be compared side by side.
A project report is refreshed whenever a new RERA inspection is published for it, and inspections do not follow one fixed calendar across the district. That is why the inspection date matters as much as the percentage: two towers showing similar progress may have been measured months apart.
Yes. Many developers build side by side in Business Bay, so their projects can be compared on the same official inspection data and under the same market conditions. Consistent progress across one developer’s towers says more about delivery than any single launch, while repeated slow readings are worth noting before a purchase.
Once construction is complete and the building passes its final authority inspections, the developer issues a handover notice to buyers. That notice opens a snagging period in which defects can be recorded and corrected at the developer’s cost, which is why an independent inspection before accepting the keys is worth arranging.
