Creek Bay Construction Progress Summary
The DLD record holds the previous Creek Bay inspection at 0% with no date attached, so the 16 June 2026 visit is the first reading to register movement: 0.62 points, logged about eleven weeks after the 31 March 2026 construction start. The inspector's note is short and specific: enabling works are progressing.

- Construction start recorded on 31 March 2026
- Trust account registered with Emirates NBD Bank (P.J.S.C)
- Enabling works on plot 341 in Al Khairan First
- Site preparation for the shared basement and three level podium
- Shared basement, ground floor, and three podium levels

- Tower B structure to 38 floors, two mechanical levels, and roof

Payment Linked Progress
What 0.62% Progress Means for Creek Bay Buyers
On the Creek Bay launch schedule, the first four installments after booking run on fixed dates and only the later ones follow construction milestones, so a 0.62% reading pauses no payment: it shows how much certified progress stands behind the money you commit next. At this stage, four actions matter most.
Verify the escrow account
Every installment should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 4198, which the June 2026 inspection report lists with Emirates NBD Bank (P.J.S.C) as trust bank. Creek Bay 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 which installments your sale and purchase agreement ties to fixed dates and which to construction percentages: on the launch schedule the first construction-linked trigger is 40% completion, estimated for Feb 2028, against 0.62% certified today. Not sure how your installments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the certified milestones.
Confirm your Oqood registration
Off plan units at Creek Bay are recorded on the DLD interim register, known as Oqood, under project 4198. Once your booking is processed, check that the Oqood entry matches the unit, price, and project number in your SPA before the next fixed-date installment.
Track the remaining cycles
With 99.38 points still ahead of a Q2 2030 handover, many RERA readings will follow this first one. Creek Bay construction updates hub logs each cycle so fixed-date installments can be weighed against certified progress.
General framework, not legal advice: installment triggers, registration steps, and fee obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 0.62%?
Entering Creek Bay this early keeps most of the payment plan ahead of you and places the whole build, from enabling works to handover, on Emaar's delivery. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 4198, released against certified construction progress.
- A certified DLD reading and inspection status to check before paying
- Q2 2030 handover, with DLD registered completion on 30 April 2030
- 20% of the launch plan held until 100% construction completion
- No inspection record yet, only the developer's schedule
- Earliest release pricing, before any site work is certified
- The full installment runway from the first booking date

About the Development
Creek Bay Project Details
Certified at 0.62% on 16 June 2026 with enabling works under way, Creek Bay will hold 568 one to three bedroom apartments in two towers over a shared basement and podium. Starting prices: AED 1.79M ≈ USD 487K.
Buying at this stage means the longest wait and the full construction period ahead, balanced by the most time to spread installments before the Q2 2030 handover, with 30 April 2030 as the DLD registered completion.
Creek Bay at Dubai Creek Harbour Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Creek Bay Location on Dubai Map
Creek Bay occupies plot 341 in Al Khairan First, the DLD location name for its waterfront position in Dubai Creek Harbour beside Creek Beach, and both towers rise from one shared basement and three level podium, so the enabling works recorded this cycle prepare a single combined footprint for the two towers.
Dubai Creek Harbour already has completed residential towers, so Creek Bay is being built inside a functioning district with real resale and rental comparables, which matters for buyers testing launch pricing against a 0.62% reading; the upcoming Blue Line Metro remains a future link rather than an operating station. See the project’s position on the interactive Dubai real estate map.

Creek Bay Construction Progress in June 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
As of the RERA inspection conducted on 16 June 2026, Creek Bay stands at 0.62% construction progress in the DLD project register, up 0.62 points from a previous inspection reading of 0%, which the register shows without a date. The independent progress monitoring report for that visit records the progress status as enabling works, progressing.
Yes, it can. As of the 16 June 2026 record, the DLD register lists completion on 30 April 2030, consistent with the Q2 2030 handover, but registered completion dates can be revised between inspection cycles. On the launch payment plan the final 20% installment is tied to 100% construction completion, which the developer marks as an estimated April 2030 date, so any revision would move that installment with it. How registered dates and inspection cycles interact is explained on the Creek Bay construction updates hub.
The inspection note for 16 June 2026 states that enabling works are progressing, and the progress status is recorded in the same terms. Enabling works typically cover site preparation, temporary works, and groundwork that must be in place before basement and foundation construction begins, which is why recorded percentages in this phase are small.
Construction is recorded as starting on 31 March 2026, so the 16 June 2026 inspection came about eleven weeks into the build. The site was still in enabling works, which carry little weight against a scope of two towers of 44 and 38 floors over a shared basement and podium, and a single first reading cannot establish a pace in either direction.
It does not change the fixed-date installments. On the launch payment plan, the 10% down payment and four 10% installments dated Apr 2026, Sep 2026, Mar 2027 and Sep 2027 fall due on their dates regardless of site progress, which is 50% of the price before the first construction-linked trigger at 40% completion, estimated for Feb 2028. Against 0.62% certified on 16 June 2026, it is the later construction-linked installments that the inspection record will govern, on the exact terms your SPA sets.
The independent progress monitoring report for 16 June 2026 describes two residential towers on a shared basement and podium: Tower A with a basement, ground floor, three podium levels, 44 floors, two mechanical levels and a roof, and Tower B with the same base and 38 floors, two mechanical levels and a roof. The developer fact sheets split the 568 apartments into 214 units in Tower A and 354 in Tower B.
