Claydon House Construction Progress Summary
The RERA Independent Progress Monitoring Report of 6 August 2026 records enabling and foundation works at Claydon House as complete, with substructure and superstructure works progressing on site and the main contract classed as progressing. The DLD app lists an earlier reading of 9.7% beside the 15.72% figure, a difference of 6.02 points, but that earlier reading carries no date, so no monthly pace can be measured from it.
- Construction start recorded on the register on 15-05-2024
- Enabling works on the Meydan Horizon site
- Foundation works, recorded complete on 6 August 2026
- Substructure works, progressing at the inspection
- Superstructure works, progressing at the inspection
- Main contract, shown as Progressing on the RERA report
- The remaining structure of the UG + Ground Floor + 5 Podium + 38 Floors tower
- Construction-linked instalments at 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% construction
- Fit out of the 415 units and the shared amenity floors
- Expected handover in Q4 2027
Payment Linked Progress
What 15.72% Progress Means for Claydon House Buyers
Claydon House runs a 70/30 plan in which four 5% instalments fall due on the completion of 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% construction, so the register reading decides when those payments begin. At 15.72% on 6 August 2026 none of them had been triggered, and four actions matter at this stage.
Verify the escrow account
Construction-period payments should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 3098 with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB). Claydon House escrow account verification is the step before any transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Reread your SPA milestone schedule
Check how your sale and purchase agreement words the four construction-linked instalments and the 30% due on completion, and set those clauses against the Q4 2027 expected handover. Not sure how your instalments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Confirm your Oqood registration
Off plan sales at Claydon House are registered with the Dubai Land Department through Oqood, and the 4% DLD registration fee is paid to the DLD at booking alongside the 20% first instalment, not into escrow. Check that your unit sits under project 3098 before the instalments at 60, 120, 240 and 360 days after your reservation date fall due.
Track the next readings
Each new register reading moves Claydon House toward the 30% mark that triggers the first construction-linked instalment. Claydon House construction updates hub keeps every published reading for the tower in one place.
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 15.72%?
Entering at this stage means buying after the foundations rather than before them: enabling and foundation works are recorded complete, and all four construction-linked instalments of the 70/30 plan were still ahead at the August 2026 reading. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 3098, released against construction progress recorded on the register.
- Enabling and foundation works recorded complete on 6 August 2026
- No construction-linked instalment triggered at that reading
- Expected handover Q4 2027, with 30% of the plan due on completion
- Entry before foundations, with every stage of the build still ahead
- Two to four years of waiting is the usual delivery horizon
- Longer instalment runway, priced at launch levels

About the Development
Claydon House Project Details
With foundations recorded complete and the structure progressing at the 6 August 2026 inspection, Claydon House is an early structure stage tower of 415 units, from 1 bedroom to 4 bedroom + study apartments. Starting prices: AED 1.56M ≈ USD 426K.
For buyers entering at this stage, the trade off is a longer wait against more of the payment plan still ahead, with handover expected in Q4 2027.

Explore Claydon House Location on Dubai Map
Claydon House stands beside the Meydan Horizon crystal lagoon, with the Al Ain-Dubai Road running beside the plot and Ras Al Khor Road just to the north on the developer's map. The views the developer describes toward the lagoon, the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and the Downtown Dubai skyline vary by unit and floor, and the floors that will frame them belong to the superstructure that was progressing at the 6 August 2026 inspection.
Per the developer's location guide, Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is about 5 minutes' drive away, Dubai Design District about 10 minutes' and Dubai International Airport (DXB) about 17 minutes'. The developer's location guide lists the Meydan Underground Metro Line about 1 minute's drive away; confirm its status and timing before building rental or commuting plans around the Q4 2027 handover.

Claydon House Construction Progress in August 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
As of the inspection report dated 6 August 2026, Claydon House stood at 15.72% in the Dubai Land Department project register for project 3098. That figure is a DLD register reading: the RERA monitoring report of the same date describes the works on site but prints no percentage of its own.
Yes. As of the 6 August 2026 reading, handover is expected in Q4 2027 and the DLD project register records a completion date of 31-12-2027, and register dates can be revised between inspection cycles. Buyers should confirm the current construction timetable with the developer in writing; how the register dates relate to handover is covered on the Claydon House construction updates hub.
The DLD app's inspection report card for 6 August 2026 shows 9.7% as the previous inspection beside the 15.72% current figure, but it prints no date for that earlier reading. Without a date the two figures cannot be turned into a monthly pace, so this page treats 9.7% as an undated reference point only.
The Independent Progress Monitoring Report for project 3098, dated 6 August 2026, records enabling and foundation works as complete and substructure and superstructure works as progressing on site, with the progress status shown as Main Contract, Progressing. It describes the building as UG + Ground Floor + 5 Podium + 38 Floors and carries inspection photographs, which are record documents and are not reproduced here.
No. The 70/30 plan ties four 5% instalments to the completion of 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% construction, and at 15.72% on 6 August 2026 none of those points had been reached. The reservation-date instalments run from each buyer's own booking date instead: as an example, a buyer who reserved more than 360 days before the reading would by then have had 50% fall due (20% + 10% + 10% + 5% + 5%).
No. Every image on this page, the hero included, is a developer rendering of the planned building, not a photograph of construction progress. The RERA report for 6 August 2026 is the record of what was on site at that inspection.
The DLD project register in the Dubai REST app lists Claydon House under project 3098, and a newer inspection reading may have been published since the 6 August 2026 figure recorded here. Search the project number, open the inspection report card, and compare its date and percentage with this page before relying on either.
