Construction Snapshot

Greencrest at a Glance

Greencrest is Emaar's 195-residence tower inside Dubai Hills Estate, registered with the Dubai Land Department on 10 October 2025 under project number 4136 and recorded on site from 22 November 2025. Its inspection history is one reading long: 1.2% on 07 May 2026, with enabling works progressing on plot 5425. Most projects tracked on this site were already framed by the time their first entry appeared here, which makes Greencrest one of the few records that opens at ground level rather than partway up a tower.

How every project on this site is tracked is explained once on the Dubai Construction Updates hub.

Inspection Record

Greencrest Construction Update Timeline

One dated reading sits in this record so far. The 07 May 2026 inspection placed Greencrest at 1.2% with enabling works progressing, and the preceding recorded figure on the DLD dashboard stood at the same 1.2%, so the two readings sit on top of one another instead of forming a slope. The track below therefore shows a single dot barely clear of the groundbreaking cap, and the row underneath links the full May 2026 site report.

Pace Analysis

How Fast Greencrest Has Been Built So Far

Pace normally comes from the distance between two dated inspections. Greencrest has one, so the figures below are what this record can honestly support and what the registered build window implies:

  • Recorded: 22 Nov 2025 start to the 07 May 2026 inspection, enabling works, 0% to 1.2%About 0.2 points per month
  • Schedule-implied, not recorded data: registered window 22 Nov 2025 to 30 Jun 2029About 2.3 points per month

The distance between those two numbers is the whole story at this stage. A recorded average of 0.2 points a month is not a stalled project; it is what excavation, shoring, and piling look like measured as a percentage, because a basement consumes months of site work before any of it registers as height. The published payment schedule includes three dated 10% instalments in March 2026, August 2026, and January 2027 before the first explicitly construction-linked milestone: a further 10% at 30% construction completion, estimated for April 2027, roughly sixteen months after groundbreaking. For an investor entering now, the sensible expectation is that recorded progress stays in single digits well into 2027, then moves in much larger steps once the twenty residential floors above the podium begin to rise toward the Q2 2029 handover target. For an end user, the practical read is that the next two or three inspections will describe structure, not finishes.

Stage Record

Greencrest Build Stages, Mapped to the Record So Far

Only the first two stages below are recorded rather than scheduled. The remaining three are anchored to the construction-completion milestones published in the payment schedule, so you can see which inspection reading each one should arrive with as the record fills in.

Oct 2025 to Nov 2025

Registration and Site Mobilisation

The Dubai Land Department registered project 4136 on 10 October 2025, and construction was recorded as started on 22 November 2025 on plot 5425.

Current Phase Nov 2025 to May 2026, 1.2% at last reading

Enabling Works and Substructure

The 07 May 2026 inspection found enabling works progressing and logged 1.2%: the groundworks phase preparing the basement for a B+G+1P+20+R tower.

Scheduled toward the 30% milestone, April 2027

Basement, Podium, and Ground Structure

The next real movement in this record: basement, ground floor, and the single podium level, the stage the payment schedule pairs with 30% construction completion.

Scheduled across the 50% to 90% milestones, Oct 2027 to Aug 2028

Tower Structure and Facade

Twenty residential floors and the roof level rise through this window; the schedule pairs 50% with October 2027, 70% with February 2028, and 90% with August 2028.

Scheduled toward 100% completion, Q2 2029

Fit-Out, Commissioning, and Handover

Interiors, amenity deck completion, and building systems commissioning ahead of the Q2 2029 handover target, with the closing instalment tied to 100% construction completion.

What each construction stage involves in general is covered once in the Dubai construction stage guides, so this page stays focused on Greencrest's own record.

Buyer Position

Tracking Your Position at Greencrest

This page is one of three Greencrest resources that together cover a purchase from payment protection to residency to handover. You are on the construction record; the siblings sit one click away:

Approaching Structure

Between 1.2% and Structure: What Greencrest Buyers Should Do Now

At 1.2% the work that protects your position is administrative rather than physical, and it is easier to fix now than in 2028. The payment schedule includes three earlier date-based instalments before the first instalment explicitly tied to construction progress, scheduled at 30% completion in April 2027. This leaves a defined window to put verification habits in place before later payments begin moving against estimated construction milestones rather than dates alone.

First, confirm your payments are landing in the project trust account and releasing against certified milestones; the Greencrest escrow account page sets out how each release is tied to inspected construction progress.

Second, follow the record itself rather than launch material. Every recorded reading is published in a dated monthly page, beginning with the Greencrest May 2026 site report, so you can compare what was inspected against what you were told.

Third, if the purchase is intended to support residency, understand the timing early through the Greencrest Golden Visa guide, since off-plan eligibility turns on payment thresholds and title timing rather than handover alone.

Send me your unit number on WhatsApp and I will map the inspection and payment sequence ahead for your specific unit at Greencrest.

FAQs

Greencrest Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions

Greencrest is an active DLD-registered project (number 4136) in its enabling works phase, recorded at 1.2% at the inspection of 07 May 2026. The full record is in the inspection timeline above.

The 07 May 2026 inspection recorded 1.2% construction progress with enabling works progressing on plot 5425, unchanged from the previous recorded reading, which also stood at 1.2%. The site report for that period is published in the Greencrest construction update for May 2026.

The DLD-registered completion date for project 4136 is 30 June 2029, and handover is targeted for Q2 2029. Measured from the 22 November 2025 construction start, that is a registered build window of roughly 43 months, and this page's record is updated each time a new inspection percentage is published.

DLD registration records show 195 residential units with a total built-up area of 22,339.61 sq m, divided across 84 one-bedroom, 70 two-bedroom, and 41 three-bedroom residences in a single tower described in the RERA report as B+G+1P+20+R.

Project 4136 was registered with the Dubai Land Department on 10 October 2025, and construction was recorded as started on 22 November 2025. The first tracked inspection, dated 07 May 2026, recorded 1.2%, which makes this record just under six months old at its first entry.

At the 07 May 2026 inspection the site was at the enabling stage: groundworks preparing plot 5425 in Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid for a basement, ground floor, one podium level, twenty residential floors, and a roof level. The recorded 1.2% reflects substructure work rather than anything visible above ground.

Substructure work absorbs months of excavation, shoring, and piling before it converts into measurable percentage on a RERA inspection. Between the 22 November 2025 start and the 07 May 2026 reading, the recorded average was about 0.2 percentage points per month, against roughly 2.3 points per month implied by the registered window to 30 June 2029. Both figures are set out in the pace analysis above.

Buyer funds sit in the project trust account recorded by RERA as held with Mashreq Bank PSC. Greencrest follows an 80/20 payment plan: 10% on booking, followed by three date-based instalments of 10% in March 2026, August 2026, and January 2027. Further payments are linked to estimated construction milestones: 10% at 30% completion in April 2027, 10% at 50% in October 2027, 10% at 70% in February 2028, 10% at 90% in August 2028, and the final 20% at 100% completion in June 2029.
