Hillmont Residences Construction Progress Summary
The RERA report dated 22 July 2026 lists the Hillmont Residences progress status as "Main Contract, Progressing", with the enabling, foundation and substructure stages on record as finished and the superstructure rising above them. Measured from the 14 May 2024 construction start, the 26.29% register reading works out to about 0.99 points per month (arithmetic, not a forecast).
- Enabling works on the Jumeirah Village Circle site
- Foundation works for the residential building
- Substructure works, recorded complete on 22 July 2026
- Superstructure works on the UG+G+4P+12F+R building
- Internal works, recorded ongoing at the site
- MEP works: mechanical, electrical and plumbing installations
- Remaining RERA inspection cycles toward 100% in the register
- Ground-level retail plus the swimming pool and gym described in the RERA report
- Completion of the 144 residences for the expected Q4 2026 handover
Payment Linked Progress
What 26.29% Progress Means for Hillmont Residences Buyers
The developer's published 70/30 plan ties four 5% instalments to the 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% construction stages, and at the 26.29% reading none of them had been triggered: the first falls at 30%. The five reservation-date instalments, 50% in total, fall due within 360 days of each buyer's own reservation date, independent of construction. At this stage of Hillmont Residences, four actions matter most.
Verify the escrow account
Every instalment should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 3081 at ADCB. Hillmont Residences escrow account verification is the step before any transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Reread your SPA milestone schedule
Check how your sale and purchase agreement words the construction-linked instalments and the handover notice, and set those clauses against the Q4 2026 expected handover. Not sure how your instalments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Confirm your Oqood registration
An off-plan apartment at Hillmont Residences is registered with the Dubai Land Department through Oqood after booking. Ask for your Oqood record and check that it names project 3081 and your unit, because it ties every later payment to this building.
Watch for the 30% trigger
Each new register reading shows whether the 30% stage, the first construction-linked trigger, has been reached. Hillmont Residences construction updates hub logs every reading as it posts, so no milestone call arrives unannounced.
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 26.29%?
Entering at this reading means buying into a building whose foundations and substructure are on record as finished while the frame is still rising, so the construction-linked instalments of the published plan sit ahead of you rather than already paid; confirm the schedule that applies at signing with the developer. Every instalment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 3081, released against construction progress recorded by RERA.
- Enabling, foundation and substructure works recorded complete in July 2026
- Four construction-linked 5% instalments still ahead under the published plan
- 30% of the 70/30 plan due on completion
- Construction risk carried from an empty plot onward
- No inspection record yet to read before paying
- Longest instalment runway, priced at launch levels

About the Development
Hillmont Residences Project Details
With substructure on record as complete and the superstructure under way, Hillmont Residences is a mid-construction building of 144 studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in Jumeirah Village Circle. Starting prices: AED 750K ≈ USD 204K.
For buyers entering at this stage, the trade off is a longer wait for keys against more of the payment plan still tied to construction stages, with handover expected in Q4 2026 per the developer.
Hillmont Residences by Ellington Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Hillmont Residences Location on Dubai Map
Hillmont Residences stands on a single-building plot on the northern edge of Jumeirah Village Circle, near Al Khail Road on Ellington's JVC portfolio map, with retail planned at street level; in the July 2026 cycle the frame was rising on that compact footprint while internal and MEP works ran alongside it.
Because JVC is already a lived-in community, with Circle Mall about 7 minutes' drive away and Dubai Hills Mall about 12, per the developer's location guide, Hillmont Residences is being built into a working neighborhood, so buyers at this stage can judge its surroundings as they are today rather than as a plan.

Hillmont Residences Construction Progress in July 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
The Dubai Land Department project register recorded Hillmont Residences (project 3081) at 26.29% construction progress on 22 July 2026, the date of the RERA site inspection. The RERA report from that visit prints no percentage of its own, so 26.29% is the register reading, and it places the build in its superstructure stage.
The register lists 14.67% as the previous inspection reading for Hillmont Residences but shows no date for it. Without that date, no monthly pace can be measured between the two readings; the only pace figure on this page is the whole-build average from the 14 May 2024 construction start.
The Independent Progress Monitoring Report dated 22 July 2026 records enabling, foundation and substructure works as completed, and superstructure, internal and MEP works as ongoing at the site. It describes the project as a UG+G+4P+12F+R residential building with retail at ground level plus a swimming pool and gym, and it carries inspection photographs.
It is the progress status RERA printed on the 22 July 2026 report, showing that the project was being built under its main construction contract and that work was moving at the time of the visit. It is a status label, not a date or a percentage; the measurable figure from that cycle is the 26.29% register reading.
No. Under the developer's published 70/30 plan, the four 5% construction-linked instalments fall at the 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% construction stages, and the 22 July 2026 register reading stood at 26.29%, below the first trigger. The trigger wording that binds each buyer is the one in their own SPA.
Possibly. The 26.29% figure was recorded on 22 July 2026, and the register updates after each RERA visit, so a later reading may already be posted for project 3081 in the Dubai REST app or on the Dubai Land Department website. How readings are tracked from month to month is covered on the Hillmont Residences construction updates hub.
