Construction Snapshot
Design Quarter at d3 at a Glance
Design Quarter at d3 is the Meraas development of 558 residences in Dubai Design District (d3), entered in the Dubai Land Department register as project 2607 on 16 March 2023. Construction started on 25 May 2023, and 1,132 days later the register recorded 30.98% for the inspection of 30 June 2026. Because Meraas describes these as the first residences in Dubai Design District, this record also follows housing arriving in a district that was built around studios, showrooms and design events, with three residential towers sharing one basement and one podium.

Inspection Record
Design Quarter at d3 Construction Update Timeline
The Design Quarter at d3 record holds one dated reading so far: 30.98% on 30 June 2026, entered in the DLD register for the same inspection that produced the RERA report of that day. The register also lists 26.3% at the previous inspection without a date, so that figure sits on the track as an unlabelled point and has no table row; 4.68 points separate the two. Each dated reading added from here becomes a new row, linked to its monthly update.

Pace Analysis
How Fast Design Quarter at d3 Has Been Built
Design Quarter at d3 has one dated reading, so the figures below are arithmetic on the recorded dates in 30-day months, not a measured pace and not a forecast:
- 25 May 2023 to 30 Jun 2026: whole-build average, 0% to 30.98% over 1,132 daysAbout 0.82 points per month
- 30 Jun 2026 to the 25 Feb 2027 registered completion date: 69.02 points over 240 daysAbout 8.63 points per month needed
- 30 Jun 2026 to the end of Q2 2027 handover estimate: 69.02 points over 365 daysAbout 5.67 points per month needed
- Previous inspection (undated) to 30 Jun 2026: 26.3% to 30.98%4.68 points, no monthly rate
With a single dated point, the Design Quarter at d3 record has no curve yet, only a starting line. The 0.82 average spreads 30.98 points across every month since 25 May 2023, including the enabling works and foundation that the 30 June 2026 report lists as finished, so it describes the record to date rather than the rate on site that June. The two required-rate rows measure distance still to cover before the registered completion date and before the Q2 2027 estimate; they say nothing about which date the towers will meet. For an end user timing a move and an investor planning an exit alike, the number to watch is the next dated reading: set against 30 June 2026, it will give this page its first measured pace.

Design Quarter at d3 Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections

Between 30.98% and Handover: What Design Quarter at d3 Buyers Should Do Now
At 30.98% on 30 June 2026, Design Quarter at d3 had its foundation behind it and most of its structure, services and finishes ahead, so the decisions that matter now concern where your money goes and what your purchase can support, not handover logistics. Register readings post without advance notice, so the three checks below belong before the next reading appears, not after it.

Two readings appear in the DLD register for Design Quarter at d3: 30.98% for the inspection dated 30 June 2026, and 26.3% at the previous inspection, a difference of 4.68 points. The register gives no date for the 26.3% reading, so it is plotted as an undated point on the track rather than a timeline row, and no rate is drawn from the pair. The June reading is covered in full in the Design Quarter at d3 June 2026 construction update.
Every percentage on this page for Design Quarter at d3 is a Dubai Land Department register reading for project 2607, the latest being 30.98% dated 30 June 2026. The RERA Independent Progress Monitoring Report of the same date supplies the inspection notes and the progress status but prints no percentage of its own, so the two sources are read side by side. The method used for every tracked project is set out once on the Dubai Construction Updates methodology hub.
The DLD register holds a registered completion date of 25 February 2027 for Design Quarter at d3, while handover is estimated for Q2 2027, a few months later. When the register read 30.98% on 30 June 2026, that registered date was still 240 days away. Handover timing is confirmed by Meraas as completion procedures finish, and this record is updated as each new reading is published.
Averaged over the whole build, Design Quarter at d3 has moved about 0.82 points per 30-day month: 30.98 points across the 1,132 days from the 25 May 2023 start to the 30 June 2026 reading. The 69.02 points still to go would take about 8.63 points per month to reach 100% by the registered completion date of 25 February 2027, or about 5.67 by the end of Q2 2027. These figures are arithmetic on recorded dates, not a forecast; no measured pace exists yet because the earlier 26.3% reading carries no date. The working is laid out in the pace arithmetic above.
Construction at Design Quarter at d3 started on 25 May 2023, ten weeks after the project entered the DLD register on 16 March 2023. The first dated reading tracked on this page, 30.98% on 30 June 2026, arrived 1,132 days after that start.
