Data source: RERA inspection conducted on 07 August 2026 for DLD project 3046. The report records the Progress Status Main Contract - Progressing and prints no percentage of its own, so 85.92% is the DLD register reading logged for that visit, set against a previous inspection of 62.79%. It is the latest reading in this record and was 55 days old on 01 October 2026, when this page was prepared; it describes the site as it stood in August 2026. The header image is a project rendering of the planned building, not a photograph of the site. Construction tracking against RERA inspection data runs across the full tohidfetrat.com project portfolio and is reviewed after every published cycle. Last updated: August 2026.

Grandala Construction Progress Summary
Between 05 May and 07 August 2026 the register reading climbed from 62.79% to 85.92%, and this time the inspector's wording moved with it: the superstructure, described in May as at an advanced stage, and the internal work, then listed as progressing, were both recorded as completed. External works joined the envelope, MEP and internal finishes on the list of items still progressing.
- Enabling, foundation and substructure work, recorded as completed on 07 August 2026
- Superstructure, recorded as completed for the first time in this series
- Internal work, recorded as completed in the same note
- Construction start on 01 June 2024 and project registration on 19 June 2024, per the register
- External envelope across the Ground + 2 Podium + 8 Floors + Roof building
- MEP services, listed as progressing at different stages
- Internal finishes within the residences
- External works, named in the note for the first time
- Envelope, MEP, finishes and external works carried to completion for all 86 residences
- Further RERA inspections of project 3046 toward 100%
- Completion and handover formalities with the developer
- Handover, expected in Q4 2026
Payment Linked Progress
What the 85.92% Reading Means for Grandala Buyers
In the finishing band, a Dubai off plan buyer's attention moves from construction risk to the last installments, the handover notice and the condition of the unit itself. Grandala's plan of record is 20% plus the 4% DLD registration fee on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover, so 60% is paid before keys and, for a buyer already under contract, the 40% on handover is the next large payment. For a unit reserved now, with most of the construction window already past, how the construction share falls due depends on the stage at booking and is confirmed with the developer at reservation; your SPA alone defines which recorded works trigger which installment. With the frame recorded as complete on 07 August 2026, four actions matter most.
Confirm the project 3046 escrow account
Any installment your SPA calls in the final stretch belongs only in the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 3046. Run the Grandala escrow account verification ahead of each transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Reread the handover clauses in your SPA
With the superstructure recorded as complete, the clauses that matter now are the ones on completion: how your sale and purchase agreement defines completion linked installments, the handover notice period and the date it names, set against the Q4 2026 expected handover. Not sure how your installments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Line up the snagging booking
Internal finishes were still listed as progressing on 07 August 2026, so the pre handover inspection of a furnished Grandala unit was close but not yet due; this is the point to choose an inspector and hold a slot for the Q4 2026 handover window. The Grandala snagging inspection guide sets out how that check fits before acceptance.
Read the final readings against 7.38
The span to 07 August 2026 ran at about 7.38 points per 30-day month, the fastest between any two readings in the record. The Grandala construction updates hub places each later reading beside it.
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 85.92%?
Entering Grandala at this reading trades payment runway for certainty: the frame and internal work were recorded as complete on 07 August 2026, handover is expected in Q4 2026, and the choice is between the few units still listed. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 3046, released against construction progress recorded in the DLD register.
- Superstructure and internal work recorded as completed in the latest note
- 14.08 register points left, in envelope, MEP, finishes and external works
- Under five months from this inspection to the end of Q4 2026
- Every trade still ahead, from excavation onward
- A wait of several years before keys
- The widest choice of floors and layouts

Explore Grandala Location on Dubai Map
Grandala faces Satwa Park across the road, on the developer's account, and the August 2026 report photographs showed a tower crane still standing beside the building with suspended access cradles along its street frontage, so the facade and external works listed in the note were being carried out from that same street edge while finishing moved indoors.
Emirates Towers and DIFC Metro stations sit about five minutes away on foot and Dubai Mall one metro station away, on the developer's figures, so an August 2026 buyer planning to occupy or let a Grandala unit from Q4 2026 was timing a finished street address, not waiting for roads or transit to arrive.

Grandala at Jumeirah Garden City Construction Progress in August 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
At the RERA inspection on 07 August 2026, the DLD project register logged Grandala at 85.92%, with 62.79% shown as the previous inspection. The inspection report prints no percentage of its own: it shows the Progress Status Main Contract - Progressing beside a bar graphic, and the register lists 17 photographs for the visit, more than for any earlier inspection of the project.
From 62.79% on 05 May 2026 to 85.92% on 07 August 2026, the register reading gained 23.13 points in 94 days, about 7.38 points per 30-day month. That was the fastest monthly rate between any two consecutive readings in the record, ahead of about 5.90 for January to May 2026, even though the point gain was marginally smaller than the 23.20 of that earlier, longer span; each figure is arithmetic on two dated readings, not a forecast.
The 07 August 2026 note reads: "Enabling, foundation, substructure, superstructure and internal work were completed. External envelope, MEP, internal finishes and external works are progressing at different stages at the site." In May 2026 the note had placed the superstructure at an advanced stage and listed internal works as progressing; in August both were recorded as completed, and external works appeared for the first time among the items still progressing.
The report filed for 07 August 2026 showed the building with glazed balcony bands across its upper floors, a tower crane still beside it and suspended access cradles along the street frontage; a ground floor entrance with its glazed front in place, dark textured walls and workers behind barrier tape; and an open internal floor with ceiling services still exposed and protection laid across the floor. The register lists 17 photographs for the visit; those images remain part of the official record and are not republished on this page.
After the 07 August 2026 reading, 14.08 percentage points separated Grandala from handover readiness, with 146 days left to 31 December 2026, the end of Q4 2026; that works out to about 2.89 points per 30-day month, against about 7.38 measured from May and about 3.23 averaged since the registered start on 01 June 2024, all arithmetic only, not a forecast. The registered completion date in the DLD project details, 31 January 2026, had passed 188 days before this inspection, and the register states no reason; buyers should confirm the current date with the developer, on Dubai REST and against their own SPA. Every dated reading since the first inspection on 09 May 2024 is lined up on the Grandala construction updates hub.
It is a project rendering showing two exterior views of the planned mid rise building, used as the header of this August 2026 page. It is not a photograph of the site and not evidence of progress at the 07 August 2026 inspection; the dated images of the building at that visit are the inspection photographs held in the RERA and DLD register record.
Yes, as of 01 October 2026, when this page was prepared: the 07 August 2026 inspection was the most recent in the record used here, and its reading was 55 days old on that date. No later inspection date had been recorded, so none is given; a newer reading would appear in the DLD project register after the next RERA visit, which is why the figure for project 3046 should be checked on Dubai REST before relying on it.
