Club Drive Construction Progress Summary
Between 13 January and 4 May 2026 Club Drive moved from 55% to 75.08%, twenty points added in under four months. The notes behind that figure keep superstructure on the progressing list alongside envelope, MEP and finishes, which is the accurate picture of a two building site at this stage: the frame is closing out on the taller block while the trades that follow it are already working inside the lower one.
- Enabling and piling works on plot 4948
- Foundations beneath Building A and Building B
- Substructure carrying the shared basement and podium
- Superstructure closing out on Building A (G+15+R) and Building B (G+17+R)
- External envelope across both tower elevations
- Mechanical, electrical and plumbing installation through the floors
- Internal finishes: kitchen joinery fitted and floor protection down in the May inspection photographs
- External works around the shared amenity podium
- The final 24.92 points of certified progress
- Completion certificate and authority sign off procedures
- Key handover from the anticipated Q1 2028 window
Payment Linked Progress
What 75.08% Progress Means for Club Drive Buyers
Club Drive was sold on a construction linked schedule, which makes 75.08% a threshold reading rather than a routine one: it clears the 70% completion band that calls an instalment, and it leaves a single construction trigger at 90% before the closing payment falls due at completion. Four actions follow from that.
Verify the escrow account
The instalment called at the 70% band, and every payment behind it, belongs in the DLD regulated escrow account registered under project 2769 and nowhere else. Club Drive escrow account verification takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Reread your SPA milestone schedule
The next construction trigger sits at 90% completion, under fifteen points ahead of this reading, so the notice period and amount are worth knowing now rather than when the demand arrives. Not sure how your installments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the certified milestones.
Diarise the snagging window
At 75.08% the booking window is not open yet, because an independent inspection is arranged close to the handover notice and not while finishing trades are still moving between floors. The Club Drive snagging inspection guide sets out what gets documented and when to book.
Watch the last quarter of the build
Fewer than twenty five points remain, and the readings between here and certification are the ones that show whether the Q1 2028 window holds. The Club Drive construction updates hub records each inspection as it publishes.
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 75.08%?
Three quarters of the build is certified, so the risk a buyer inherits now is finishing risk rather than structural risk: the substructure is signed off, both buildings are up, and the remaining scope is the kind measured in months. The trade is runway, because arriving at this reading means settling the elapsed share of the milestone schedule instead of spreading it from launch. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 2769, released against certified construction progress.
- Three quarters certified: 75.08% recorded on 4 May 2026
- The 70% construction trigger already cleared, one left at 90%
- Under twenty five points of build risk to completion certification
- Excavation to handover risk carried in full by the buyer
- Delivery horizons of three to four years from launch day
- A longer instalment runway, set at launch day pricing

About the Development
Club Drive Project Details
With the frame closing out and finishing trades inside the buildings, Club Drive is a late stage development of 529 one, two and three bedroom apartments split between Building A (B+G+P+15) and Building B (B+G+P+17) over one shared amenity podium. Starting prices: AED 1.50M ≈ USD 409K.
Entering at this reading buys a shorter wait to the anticipated Q1 2028 handover, paid for by taking on the milestone instalments already called rather than a launch day runway.
Site Context This Cycle
Explore Club Drive Location on Dubai Map
Plot 4948 sits on the golf side of Dubai Hills Estate along the Northern Boulevard, with the Golf Club villa community and the fairways of Dubai Hills Golf Course opening out beyond the two buildings. Building B stands two floors taller than Building A, so the envelope going onto its upper levels is what changes the skyline read from the course, while the external works wrapping the shared podium are the part of this cycle a visitor at ground level would actually register.
Nothing around the plot is waiting on Club Drive: Dubai Hills Mall and Dubai Hills Park are open, King's College Hospital and GEMS International School are running, and Al Khail Road places Downtown Dubai roughly fifteen minutes away. At 75.08% that matters in a concrete way, because the rents and resale prices being achieved in the surrounding towers this year are the benchmark a Club Drive unit will be measured against when the Q1 2028 window arrives.

Club Drive Construction Progress in May 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
As of the RERA inspection conducted on 4 May 2026, Club Drive stands at 75.08% construction progress in the DLD project register, recorded against project number 2769 and developer number 984.
Club Drive moved from 55% on 13 January 2026 to 75.08% on 4 May 2026, a gain of 20.08 points in under four months. That is close to double the 11.38 points added in the cycle before it, the fastest movement in the readings published on this cluster so far.
The 4 May 2026 record shows the project active with the main contract progressing and no milestone reported as stalled, leaving 24.92 percentage points between this reading and full certification against an anticipated Q1 2028 window. The mechanics of inspection cycles and completion certification are set out on the Club Drive construction updates hub.
The 4 May 2026 inspection records enabling, piling, foundation and substructure works as completed. Everything else stays on the progressing list: superstructure, internal works, external envelope, MEP, internal finishes and external works, spread across Building A at fifteen floors and Building B at seventeen.
The photograph set filed with the 4 May 2026 report mixes interior and exterior evidence: an apartment with kitchen joinery already fitted and floor protection still down, a bare room with glazing installed, and elevation views of both buildings with facade access still in place on the taller one. It is the visual signature of a project where finishing has started but has not reached every floor.
The Club Drive schedule attaches instalments to certified construction completion bands rather than calendar dates alone, and a 75.08% reading on 4 May 2026 sits above the 70% band, so that trigger has been passed. The next construction linked call in the schedule is set at 90% completion, with the final instalment at 100%. Exact percentages, amounts and notice terms are governed by each individual sale and purchase agreement.
