Grandala Construction Snapshot
A 23.20 point climb in the 118 days after the January 2026 reading carried Grandala past the halfway mark of the register and into the band this tracker reserves for envelope and MEP works, the same trades the inspection note listed as under way.

Data source: RERA inspection conducted on 05 May 2026 for DLD project 3046. The report records the Progress Status Main Contract - Progressing and prints no percentage of its own, so 62.79% is the DLD register reading logged for that visit, set against a previous inspection of 39.59%. The reading was 149 days old on 01 October 2026, when this page was prepared, and describes the site as it stood in May 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: May 2026.

Grandala Construction Progress Summary
From 07 January to 05 May 2026 the register reading rose from 39.59% to 62.79%, yet the inspector's note was carried over word for word: superstructure still at an advanced stage, with envelope, internal works, MEP and finishes progressing at different stages. The text therefore records no newly completed works; the movement between the two visits shows in the percentage and in the photographs filed with the report.
- Enabling, foundation and substructure work, again recorded as completed on 05 May 2026
- Construction start on 01 June 2024 and project registration on 19 June 2024, per the register
- The 07 January 2026 reading of 39.59%, which opens this span
- Superstructure, still recorded at an advanced stage
- External envelope and MEP, listed as progressing at different stages
- Internal works and internal finishes, listed again as in progress
- Progress Status Main Contract - Progressing, unchanged since January
- A later note recording the superstructure as complete
- Envelope, MEP and finishes carried to completion through the 86 residences
- Further RERA inspections of project 3046
- Handover, expected in Q4 2026
Payment Linked Progress
What 62.79% Progress Meant for Grandala Buyers
Past the midpoint, a Dubai off plan buyer's questions usually shift from whether the building will rise to what each remaining payment is tied to and which unit carries residency value. On Grandala's plan of record, 20% plus the 4% DLD registration fee on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover, a buyer who booked early would typically have most of the construction share behind them at this reading, with the 40% due on handover the large payment ahead; only your SPA ties recorded works to installments, and on a late stage purchase the schedule is confirmed with the developer at reservation. At 62.79%, four actions mattered most.
Check the project 3046 escrow account
Whatever your SPA called after this reading belonged only in the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 3046. Grandala escrow account verification precedes every transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Test notices against an unchanged note
Because the 05 May 2026 note repeated the January text, a payment notice naming a newly finished stage could not be matched to the inspection wording alone; check whether your sale and purchase agreement keys installments to named works or to a register percentage. Not sure how your installments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Pencil in the snagging check
Internal finishes were still listed as progressing on 05 May 2026, so the pre handover inspection of a furnished Grandala unit was a date to plan around Q4 2026 rather than book. The Grandala snagging inspection guide covers where that check fits before acceptance.
Compare each reading with two paces
Four dated spans existed by May 2026, and the last two ran at about 5.44 and 5.90 points per 30-day month. The Grandala construction updates hub sets each later reading beside them.
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.
What a 62.79% Entry Looked Like
In May 2026 Grandala had its substructure recorded as complete, its frame at an advanced stage and its envelope, MEP and finishes trades all active: a buyer entering then gave up most of the launch choice in exchange for a building already past the midpoint of the register. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 3046, released against construction progress recorded in the DLD register.
- Register reading past the midpoint, 23.20 points above January
- Envelope, MEP and internal finishes recorded as progressing
- Roughly 5 to 8 months to the Q4 2026 expected handover window
- No structure on site to inspect
- Every trade, from foundations up, still to be carried out
- First pick of floors, views and layouts

About the Development
Grandala Project Details
In May 2026 the first project of Palladium Developments stood past the midpoint of its DLD register reading, its frame advanced and its envelope and services in progress: one Ground + 2 Podium + 8 Floors + Roof building of 86 residences. Current starting price: AED 1.16M ≈ USD 316K.
Entering at this reading meant fewer layouts left to choose from, set against a building whose register record already showed more than half of its recorded progress in place, with handover expected in Q4 2026.
Grandala at Jumeirah Garden City Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Grandala Location on Dubai Map
Grandala stands on a street of completed buildings with Satwa Park across the road, on the developer's account, and the exterior photograph in the May 2026 report showed a tower crane still beside the frame, so envelope materials and the internal trades were both being served from that one street edge during this cycle.
On the developer's figures DIFC and the Museum of the Future are about five minutes away on foot, and Dubai Mall with Burj Khalifa one metro station away, so the district around the plot was already complete; a May 2026 buyer planning to let or occupy a Grandala unit was weighing the building's own finishing time, not any wait for the neighbourhood.

Grandala at Jumeirah Garden City Construction Progress in May 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
At the RERA inspection on 05 May 2026, the DLD project register logged Grandala at 62.79%, with 39.59% shown as the previous inspection. The inspection report carries no percentage of its own: it shows the Progress Status Main Contract - Progressing next to a bar graphic, and the register lists seven photographs for the visit.
From 39.59% on 07 January 2026 to 62.79% on 05 May 2026, the register reading gained 23.20 points in 118 days, about 5.90 points per 30-day month. That was the largest gain between any two consecutive readings recorded for the project up to that date, and slightly faster per month than the 5.44 of the September 2025 to January 2026 span; each figure is simple arithmetic on two dated readings, not a forecast.
No. The note for 05 May 2026 repeats the 07 January 2026 text: "Enabling, foundation and substructure work were completed. Superstructure at advanced stage. External envelope, internal works, MEP, and internal finishes are progressing at different stages at the site." The report gives no reason for the repeat, and the wording should not be read as recording newly completed works; the change between the two visits shows in the register reading, which rose from 39.59% to 62.79%.
The report filed for 05 May 2026 showed the frame rising to its upper floors on its street, with a tower crane still beside it and dark glazed panels across the lower frontage; a podium parking level with painted walls and cars parked; a blockwork corridor with pipes and ducts exposed overhead; and an apartment space with services still open at the ceiling and protection laid across the floor. The register lists seven photographs for the visit; they belong to the official record and are not reproduced here.
Yes. The DLD project details give a registered completion date of 31 January 2026, which fell 94 days before the 05 May 2026 inspection; at that visit the register still showed the project as Active, with the Progress Status Main Contract - Progressing and a reading of 62.79%. The register states no reason. The expected handover stated for Grandala is Q4 2026, and buyers should confirm the current date with the developer, on Dubai REST and against their own SPA.
After the 05 May 2026 reading, 37.21 percentage points separated Grandala from handover readiness, with handover expected in Q4 2026. Across the 240 days to 31 December 2026 that works out to about 4.65 points per 30-day month, beside the 5.90 measured from January; both are arithmetic only, not a forecast, and the note still described the superstructure as advanced rather than complete. How the full series of readings is tracked is set out on the Grandala construction updates hub.
