Chelsea Residences Construction Snapshot
A first dated reading of 0.06% places Chelsea Residences at the very opening of the enabling works band, where the record matters less as a measure of building than as proof that project 3719 is registered, active and mobilized on site.

This Inspection Cycle
Chelsea Residences Construction Progress Summary
The 23 October 2025 inspection came 96 days after the recorded construction start of 19 July 2025, and the inspector found a site still being mobilized, with enabling works only just begun. No earlier dated inspection exists, so this cycle sets the starting line that every later reading for the three registered towers will be measured against.
- Project registered with the Dubai Land Department on 30 April 2025
- Construction start recorded on 19 July 2025
- Trust account assigned with Dubai Islamic Bank (PJSC)
- Site mobilization on Plot 28, noted by the inspector as ongoing
- Enabling works, recorded as just started
- Progress status on the report: Enabling Works - Progressing
- Groundwork and foundations beneath the three towers
- Concrete structures for Tower A (G+2P+25), Tower B (G+2P+28) and Tower C (G+2P+30)
- Internal and external finishes, then handover from the registered completion date of 31 December 2029
Payment Linked Progress
What 0.06% Progress Means for Chelsea Residences Buyers
DAMAC's published 60/40 launch plan schedules instalments by months after booking rather than by construction milestones, so a 0.06% reading does not trigger any payment. What it changes is the risk picture: most of the 60% paid before completion is paid while the towers are still to be built, which puts the weight on four checks.
Verify the escrow account
Each monthly instalment should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 3719. Chelsea Residences escrow account verification comes before any transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Map the monthly schedule against the build
Check how your sale and purchase agreement dates the 40 monthly instalments, what falls due on completion, and how both sit against the 31 December 2029 registered completion. Not sure how your instalments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Match your unit to project 3719
DAMAC markets a wider six tower masterplan, while the register entry covers three towers and 703 units, so confirm that your agreement and your Oqood record both name DLD project 3719.
Follow the enabling works readings
Early readings move slowly while groundwork is prepared, so the inspector notes say more than the figure. Chelsea Residences construction updates sets each new reading beside this October 2025 baseline.
General framework, not legal advice: instalment dates, notice periods, and payment obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 0.06%?
Entering at the enabling works stage trades certainty for runway: nothing is built yet, the delivery horizon is long, and the choice of tower, floor and layout is at its widest. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 3719, released against construction progress recorded by independent inspection.
- Mobilization and early enabling works only, per the 23 October 2025 inspector notes
- About 50 months to the 31 December 2029 registered completion
- 40% of the 60/40 launch plan held back until completion
- Structure standing and inspected, with less construction risk left to carry
- Months rather than years until the keys
- A larger share of the price due within a short window

About the Development
Chelsea Residences Project Details
At the October 2025 inspection, Chelsea Residences was a mobilizing site on Plot 28, registered for three towers at G+2P+25, G+2P+28 and G+2P+30 holding 703 one, two and three bedroom apartments. Starting prices: AED 2.17M ≈ USD 591K.
For buyers entering at this stage, the trade off is the longest runway on the 60/40 launch plan and the widest unit choice against a wait of roughly four years, with handover expected in December 2029.
Chelsea Residences by DAMAC Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Chelsea Residences Location on Dubai Map
Chelsea Residences occupies Plot 28 in Dubai Maritime City, listed on the inspection report under the area name Madinat Dubai Almelaheyah, on a parcel DAMAC describes as one of the last waterfront corner plots in the district. In October 2025 that waterfront position set the order of work: mobilization and the first enabling works, the groundwork that prepares the ground before any of the three tower structures can begin.
Dubai Maritime City already has its road links, port activity and a growing line of residential towers, but its waterfront living quarter is still filling in, so a buyer entering in October 2025 was buying into a district in transition as much as a building. DAMAC's documents place City Walk 15 minutes, Downtown Dubai 22 minutes and Dubai International Airport 23 minutes away by car. See the project’s position on the interactive Dubai real estate map.

Chelsea Residences Construction Progress in October 2025: Frequently Asked Questions
As of the DLD project register entry dated 23 October 2025, Chelsea Residences by DAMAC (project 3719) stood at 0.06% construction progress, the first dated reading recorded for the project, with its register status shown as Active.
The October 2025 record gave no sign of slippage: the DLD register carried a completion date of 31 December 2029, matching DAMAC's anticipated completion of December 2029, with 99.94 percentage points and about 50 months remaining after the 23 October 2025 reading. As simple arithmetic, not a forecast, that averages about 2.0 points per month, and a registered completion date can be revised in later cycles. How later readings compare is tracked on the Chelsea Residences construction updates page.
The independent progress monitoring report dated 23 October 2025 states: "At the time of inspection found mobilization on going, and enabling works just started." It lists the progress status as Enabling Works - Progressing, and the report carries the line "Independently inspected and progress audited for RERA".
The 0% shown as the previous value on the 23 October 2025 entry is the register's opening baseline for project 3719, not an earlier site inspection, and it carries no inspection date. The 0.06% recorded on 23 October 2025 is therefore the first dated reading, so no progress change between two inspections can be measured for this month.
The DLD register records construction as started on 19 July 2025, so the 23 October 2025 inspection took place 96 days later. The project itself was registered on 30 April 2025, which places the first dated reading just under six months after registration.
The 23 October 2025 report describes three residential towers on Plot 28 in Dubai Maritime City: Tower A at G+2P+25, Tower B at G+2P+28 and Tower C at G+2P+30, plus roof, designed with a concrete structure and block walls with internal and external finishes. None of these structures had started at the time of that visit, when enabling works were only beginning.
