The Final Inspection Cycle

- Structural works on both 37 storey residential towers
- Podium linking the towers, carrying 22 of the 500 units
- Dubai Civil Defence approval received 30 September 2020
- Building completion certificate issued 09 November 2020 by the DDA
- All construction activities recorded as substantially completed
- Snagging works progressing across the site
- DEWA electric and water sub meters installed and connected
- Project status recorded as Finished in the DLD register
- Occupancy and transfers on a ready, certificate holding building
- Available apartments offered through the resale market
From Inspection Record to Transfer
What 100% Progress Means for Creekside 18 Buyers
A Finished project changes the buyer question from installment timing to transfer readiness: the record is closed at 100%, the completion certificate has been issued, and what remains is verifying the building you are buying into and the specific unit you are buying. At Creekside 18, four actions matter most.
Verify the completed project record
Creekside 18 is recorded as project 1663 in the DLD register, Finished at 100%. Creekside 18 escrow account verification shows how payments were released against certified progress; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Review your transfer terms
A resale purchase completes through the DLD transfer process rather than a developer payment plan, so the contract terms, NOC requirements, and fee split deserve a careful read. Not sure how your offer terms compare on a ready building? Send me your offer terms and I will review them against the completed project record.
Inspect before you transfer
On a building completed in 2020, unit condition varies listing by listing, which makes an independent inspection of your specific apartment the highest value step before transfer. Creekside 18 snagging inspection guide covers defect documentation before acceptance.
Track availability, not construction
With no inspection cycles left, the moving variable at Creekside 18 is resale inventory. Creekside 18 construction updates hub preserves the record this page closes, alongside the project's live availability.
General framework, not legal advice: transfer procedures, NOC requirements, and fee obligations are set by your individual contract and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 100%?
Entering a finished project removes construction risk entirely: the record above is closed, the completion certificate was issued in November 2020, and the remaining choice is between the units currently listed. The original escrow account for project 1663 released funds only against certified construction progress; a purchase today completes through the standard DLD transfer process on a ready building.
- Finished status: the closed inspection record above is the full risk picture
- Ready occupancy after transfer, with no delivery wait
- Resale pricing from AED 1.59M ≈ USD 432K against live listings, not launch projections
- Construction exposure runs from groundworks until the completion certificate
- A delivery wait measured in years rather than a transfer appointment
- Installments spread across the build, priced at launch levels
Availability is listed as limited on the project page as of this update and moves through the resale market; listings shift between cycles.
About the Development
Creekside 18 Project Details
Completed in 2020 and closed at 100% in the March 2021 final inspection, Creekside 18 pairs two 37 storey towers over a shared podium: 500 one to four bedroom apartments on Creek Island. Resale pricing starts from AED 1.59M ≈ USD 432K.
For buyers entering a ready Emaar building, the trade off runs opposite to off plan: full payment at transfer instead of a plan runway, in exchange for immediate occupancy on a certificate holding building.
Creekside 18 at Dubai Creek Harbour Project GuideSite Context on the Record
Explore Creekside 18 Location on Dubai Map
Creekside 18 stands on plot 103 in Al Khairan First, the DLD district covering Creek Island, with its two towers and shared podium oriented toward Dubai Creek and the marina basin; that exposed waterfront frontage kept facade and external packages among the most visible items through the closing inspection cycles.
Because Creek Island matured around the towers, with Central Park about two minutes away, Creek Marina about three, and Vida Creek Harbour about five, Creekside 18 buyers are weighing a functioning waterfront district rather than a masterplan promise, which is exactly what the Finished register status is there to confirm.

Creekside 18 Construction Update - FAQs
As of the final RERA inspection conducted on 14 March 2021, Creekside 18 stands at 100% construction progress, up 1.36 points from the 98.64% recorded at the previous inspection. The DLD project register carries the project as Finished.
The DLD register records the completion date as 31 May 2020. Dubai Civil Defence approval followed on 30 September 2020 and the building completion certificate was issued by the DDA on 09 November 2020, ahead of the final inspection in March 2021.
It is the authority issued certificate confirming a building was constructed in line with the approved drawings and is safe to occupy, and it is a precondition for handover and utility activation. At Creekside 18 it was issued on 09 November 2020, which is why the final inspection that followed focused on snagging rather than construction.
Service charges generally run from handover onward, billed against the building's approved budget under the jointly owned property framework. On a ready building such as Creekside 18, a resale buyer takes over ongoing charges from the transfer date, and any arrears are typically settled between the parties before the no objection certificate is issued.
On a completed resale unit, documented defects become negotiation facts rather than developer snagging items: buyers typically request repairs before transfer or an adjustment to the agreed price. Building wide issues can also be raised through the owners association, which is why independent documentation before transfer matters.
Finished indicates the project has completed construction and its regulatory inspection history is closed, so no further RERA progress cycles are scheduled. The register entry, including the final 100% reading and the completion date, remains the permanent public record a resale purchase can be verified against.
