Cavalli Tower Construction Progress Summary
Between the 24 March and 15 July 2026 inspections, the DLD register moved Cavalli Tower from 73.49% to 85.08%. The July RERA report records the enabling, foundation and structure works as substantially completed and, new in this cycle's notes, lists external works progressing on site, so the work now reaches from the ground around the tower to the apartment interiors.
- Enabling and foundation packages, substantially completed per the July report
- Concrete structure of the 70-storey tower, substantially completed
- Structure of the six parking levels beneath the residences
- External envelope at an advanced stage
- Mechanical, electrical and plumbing installations
- Internal works and internal finishes across the 438 residences
- External works, newly listed as progressing on site
- Further RERA inspection cycles across the last 14.92 points
- Close-out of the envelope, services and interior packages
- Handover expected in Q2 2027
Payment Linked Progress
What 85.08% Progress Means for Cavalli Tower Buyers
With 14.92 points left before 100%, the Cavalli Tower 60/40 plan is moving toward its largest payment: the 40% due on handover, expected in Q2 2027. Which of the four 10% construction instalments are still open is set by your SPA, not by this reading. At this stage, four actions matter most.
Recheck the escrow account
If any construction instalment is still ahead of you, pay it only into the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 2283. Cavalli Tower escrow account verification takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record, so repeat it before each transfer rather than relying on an earlier check.
Reread your SPA milestone schedule
Find the clauses in your sale and purchase agreement that set the handover notice period and the timing of the 40% handover payment, and confirm with DAMAC which instalments remain before Q2 2027. Not sure how your instalments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Book the snagging window
At 85.08% and with handover expected in Q2 2027, less than a year after this reading, Cavalli Tower sits inside the booking window for a pre handover inspection. Cavalli Tower snagging inspection guide covers what to schedule before acceptance.
Track the remaining cycles
14.92 points remained after the 15 July 2026 reading. Each new register reading is logged on the Cavalli Tower construction updates hub, so a change in pace or in the Q2 2027 expectation shows up there first.
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 85.08%?
Entering Cavalli Tower at 85.08% means buying into a tower whose structure the July 2026 RERA report records as substantially completed, with the remaining work concentrated inside and around the building and handover expected in Q2 2027. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 2283, released against verified construction progress.
- Structure substantially completed per the 15 July 2026 RERA report
- Handover expected in Q2 2027
- 40% of the 60/40 plan payable on handover
- Construction risk carried from the first excavation
- Handover usually several years after reservation
- Instalments spread across the whole build at launch-era pricing

About the Development
Cavalli Tower Project Details
Recorded at 85.08% on 15 July 2026, Cavalli Tower is a 70-storey DAMAC tower of 438 residences on the Al Sufouh coast, from 1 bedroom apartments to duplex residences and penthouses, now in its final finishing stretch. Starting prices: AED 1.75M ≈ USD 475K.
A buyer entering at this reading gives up most of the construction-period instalment runway in exchange for a short wait, with the 40% handover payment and the Q2 2027 handover close behind.
Cavalli Tower by DAMAC Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Cavalli Tower Location on Dubai Map
Cavalli Tower stands on plot 91 on the Al Sufouh coast, looking across the water toward Palm Jumeirah. With the structure substantially completed, the July 2026 record adds external works progressing on site, the stage where attention moves from the height of a 70-storey tower to its ground level and the approach residents will use every day.
Al Sufouh stretches about 7 square kilometres toward Dubai Marina, with Sheikh Zayed Road running through it and Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City already operating alongside, so buyers planning to occupy or lease after the Q2 2027 handover are looking at an established corridor rather than a district still being built.

Cavalli Tower Construction Progress in July 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
Cavalli Tower (DLD project 2283) was recorded at 85.08% construction progress in the DLD project register on 15 July 2026. The RERA Independent Progress Monitoring Report for that inspection gives the progress status as Main Contract - Progressing, and the register still lists the project as Active.
The register reading rose from 73.49% on 24 March 2026 to 85.08% on 15 July 2026, a gain of 11.59 points over 113 days. On a 30-day month that is about 3.08 points a month, simple arithmetic from two dated readings rather than a forecast; the full reading history is kept on the Cavalli Tower construction updates hub.
The RERA report dated 15 July 2026 groups the enabling, foundation and structure works together and records them as substantially completed. In construction reporting that term normally describes a package that is essentially finished with at most minor items outstanding; the report does not list any remaining structural items. The same report places the weight of the programme on internal works, the external envelope, MEP and internal finishes, all progressing at advanced stages.
Yes. The RERA report of 15 July 2026 notes external works progressing on site, a line that does not appear in the March 2026 report notes. The report does not break the package down; on a residential tower, external works usually cover the ground around the building, such as hardscape, landscaping, drainage and access, and they run alongside the envelope work on the facade.
The DLD app lists 9 inspection photographs for the 15 July 2026 visit. The four printed in the RERA report show an open-plan floor with marble flooring, floor-to-ceiling glazing and workers on site, a fitted kitchen with a gas hob and built-in oven, a bathroom with marble-effect wall cladding, and the tower exterior with its facade cut-out. They belong to the official record and are not reproduced here; the header image on this page is a project rendering, not one of them.
Three checks follow from the July 2026 reading. Confirm with DAMAC which of the four 10% construction instalments are still open and when the 40% handover payment falls due under your SPA; verify the escrow account registered for DLD project 2283 before any further transfer; and plan an independent pre handover inspection so defects are documented before you accept the unit.
