Data source: the DLD project register for project 1597, listed as "The Dubai Creek Residences", and the RERA Independent Progress Monitoring Report of the inspection on 6 March 2019, which records the progress status as Completed but prints no percentage, so 100% and 96.18% are DLD register readings. This is a historical record: as of 2 October 2026 the reading is 2,767 days old, and the hero image is a project rendering, not a site photograph. Construction tracking against RERA inspection data runs across the full tohidfetrat.com project portfolio and is reviewed after every published cycle. Last updated: March 2019.

This Inspection Cycle
Dubai Creek Residences Construction Progress Summary
Between an earlier inspection at 96.18%, which the register leaves undated, and the visit of 6 March 2019, Dubai Creek Residences moved to 100%, a 3.82 point step that closed the build rather than advanced it. The inspection report for that visit found all construction activities substantially completed across both plots, each with a shared podium and three towers, leaving 0 points between the reading and completion.
- Six towers rising to 40 storeys above two shared podiums
- Dubai Civil Defence completion (DCDs) received on 11 November 2018
- Building Completion Certificates (BCCs) issued by Dubai Development Authority on 13 February 2019
- DEWA meters installed and connected
- Finishing and cleaning works progressing at site on 6 March 2019
- RERA progress status recorded as Completed in the same report
- Works still visible around the marina basin in the report's photographs
- Register status Finished for project 1597
- Handover status Ready across the 924 units
- Resale and remaining stock bought as finished homes
Payment Linked Progress
What 100% Progress Means for Dubai Creek Residences Buyers
Off plan payment schedules are tied to construction stages, and at 100% on 6 March 2019 that schedule had run its full course at Dubai Creek Residences: a buyer today pays for a finished unit, not for progress still to come. For that purchase, four checks matter most.
Confirm where your money goes
A unit still held by Emaar is paid into the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 1597, while a resale settles through the DLD transfer process. Dubai Creek Residences escrow account guide sets out both routes; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Read the contract against the record
Check how your sale and purchase agreement or resale contract treats completion, transfer and any outstanding developer obligations, and set those clauses beside the completion dates in this record. Not sure how your contract terms map to this record? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Book a snagging inspection
With the towers at 100% since March 2019, what matters is the condition of the one unit you are buying after years of use or vacancy. Dubai Creek Residences snagging inspection guide covers the checks to complete before you accept it.
Re-check the register
The 6 March 2019 reading is the latest on file and is now years old. Dubai Creek Residences construction updates holds the full completion record in one place.
General framework, not legal advice: completion terms, transfer procedures, and payment obligations are set by your individual SPA or sale contract and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 100%?
Buying into a building that reached 100% in 2019 trades the long payment runway of a launch for certainty: the towers stand, the completion record is dated, and the choice comes down to the units on offer. Any payment on a unit still held by Emaar goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 1597, while a resale settles through the DLD transfer process.
- 100% in the DLD register since 6 March 2019
- BCCs issued on 13 February 2019; handover status Ready
- A finished unit you can view before you commit
- Construction risk held from groundworks to completion
- Several years usually pass before the keys arrive
- Instalments spread out, at launch pricing

About the Development
Dubai Creek Residences Project Details
Recorded at 100% on 6 March 2019, Dubai Creek Residences is a completed Emaar development of 924 units in six towers on the Dubai Creek Harbour promenade, with apartments and penthouses from 1 to 4 bedrooms. Starting prices: AED 2.03M ≈ USD 551K.
For buyers arriving after that record, the trade off has turned around: no construction wait and no stage payments, but a price set against other finished units in the same towers, with handover status Ready.
Dubai Creek Residences Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Dubai Creek Residences Location on Dubai Map
Dubai Creek Residences stands on two plots in the Island District of Dubai Creek Harbour, each carrying a shared podium and three towers, with the creek promenade and the marina basin at their feet. That waterfront edge is where the March 2019 record still showed activity: the inspection photographs look down on the marina basin with works visible around it while the towers above stood complete.
In early 2019 the six towers were finished inside a master community that was still largely being built, with Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary on its wetland edge and Downtown Dubai across the creek, so the completion record dates the building, not the district around it.

Dubai Creek Residences Construction Progress in March 2019: Frequently Asked Questions
At the inspection of 6 March 2019, the DLD project register recorded Dubai Creek Residences, project 1597 registered as "The Dubai Creek Residences", at 100%, up 3.82 points from an earlier reading of 96.18% that the register does not date. The RERA Independent Progress Monitoring Report for that visit prints no percentage of its own; it records the progress status as Completed.
The report of 6 March 2019 found all construction activities substantially completed, recorded Dubai Civil Defence completion (DCDs) as received on 11 November 2018, and noted Building Completion Certificates (BCCs) issued by Dubai Development Authority on 13 February 2019. It also listed DEWA meters as installed and connected, with finishing and cleaning works still progressing at site on that date.
The 96.18% reading that came before 6 March 2019 carries no date in the DLD register, so the 3.82 point step cannot be spread over a known number of days or months. The rise is stated on its own, and the build as a whole, from the registered start on 1 January 2015 to completion, is covered on the Dubai Creek Residences construction updates hub.
The 6 March 2019 report carries photographs that are not reproduced on this page: installed utility meter manifolds with valves and pipework inside a service room, completed towers seen from street level behind a finished podium frontage with street lighting, a high-level view down to the creek waterfront with the marina basin and works still visible around it, and three completed towers seen from the boulevard. They describe the site on that date only, not the state of any unit today.
It shows the six towers recorded at 100% with BCCs already issued in early 2019, so a purchase now is a ready purchase of a finished unit, with handover status Ready, rather than an off-plan contract tied to construction stages. It says nothing about the condition of an individual apartment or penthouse more than seven years later, which is a matter for an independent inspection before transfer.
As of 2 October 2026 the 6 March 2019 reading is 2,767 days old, about seven years and seven months, and it is the latest inspection in the register record supplied for this update, where the project status reads Finished. Searching project 1597 or "The Dubai Creek Residences" on Dubai REST shows whether anything has been added since.
