Lime Gardens Construction Progress Summary
Between 23 May and 28 August 2025 the certified figure closed its last 8.95 points, from 91.05% to 100%. The report behind that number reads differently from every one before it: rather than listing packages at good or very good stages, the inspector records construction activities completed, all meters fixed, and both the building completion certificate and Dubai Civil Defence clearance obtained.
- Enabling, foundation and structure works on plot 2452
- MEP, external envelope and internal finishes, all closed out
- External works around the tower and podium
- Construction activities recorded complete at the 28 August 2025 visit
- All meters fixed, with district cooling as the recorded A/C type
- Building completion certificate and Dubai Civil Defence clearance obtained
- Undertaking letter provided for snagging and other items
- Transfer of 291 residences and two ground floor retail spaces
- Defect items carried on the developer undertaking
- Service charge and community fee obligations from acceptance
Payment Linked Progress
What 100% Progress Means for Lime Gardens Buyers
Emaar's 80/20 schedule attached instalments to the 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80 percent marks, and every one of them had been certified before this visit. At 100% the only sum still tied to the plan is the closing 20 percent, payable on completion and handover rather than against any further reading, so the checks that matter move from percentages to paperwork. Four of them define this stage.
Check where the last 20 percent settles
Construction stage instalments for project 2418 ran through the DLD regulated escrow account named on this report as held with Mashreq Bank PSC, while a completion payment settles at transfer alongside the registration fee. Lime Gardens escrow account verification shows which account the register still carries; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Read the handover clauses, not the milestone table
With every construction trigger certified, the clauses still doing work in your agreement are the notice period, the acceptance window, and the date service charges begin running. Want the closing obligations in your contract read against this certified record? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the reading on this page.
Book the snagging inspection
The same 28 August 2025 report that certifies 100 percent also logs an undertaking letter provided for snagging and other items, which is the developer's own acknowledgement that a defect list follows completion. The Lime Gardens snagging inspection guide sets out what to document before you sign acceptance.
Read the record end to end
Every certified reading behind this one is published in sequence, which is how you tell a build that finished steadily from one that was compressed at the end. The Lime Gardens construction updates hub carries them in order.
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 100% Certified Progress?
Reading a record that ends at 100 percent is not forecasting a handover, it is auditing one that already happened. Nothing on this page is pending: the sequence ran from October 2022 to August 2025 and the register signed it off. What stays open is unit specific, which floor, which aspect, which service charge. Every construction stage instalment was paid into the DLD-registered escrow account for project 2418 and released against certified progress, the last of those readings being the 100 percent recorded here.
- Nothing left to certify: the inspection sequence ends at this reading
- The actual residence can be viewed, tested and snagged before you commit
- Occupancy or rental income begins at transfer, not at a future cycle
- The percentage on the page is a file still open, not a closed one
- Instalments fall due against milestones years before any key exists
- Specification is judged from a show unit and a set of renders

About the Development
Lime Gardens Project Details
At 100 percent Lime Gardens stops being a build and becomes an address: one G+Podium+23 tower holding 291 residences, one to three bedroom apartments above duplex townhouses at the base, with two retail units at ground level facing Dubai Hills Park. Starting prices: AED 1.55M ≈ USD 422K.
What the certified record adds for a buyer arriving now is provenance. The finishes being priced today are the same ones logged complete on 28 August 2025, not a specification described in a brochure.
Site Context This Cycle
Explore Lime Gardens Location on Dubai Map
Lime Gardens closes out on a single plot facing Dubai Hills Park, the tower rising over a podium ringed at ground level by duplex townhouses. Because that plot sits inside a district that was already fully serviced, the last items certified here were connection items rather than infrastructure ones: meters fixed, district cooling tied in, and civil defence clearance issued on a building whose roads, utilities and neighbours had been live for years.
That maturity is what makes a 100 percent reading on this plot different from the same figure on an emerging one. There is no mall still to open, no park still to be planted, and no road still to be adopted, so a residence certified in August 2025 could be valued, let or occupied immediately against comparables already trading in the streets around it.

Lime Gardens Construction Progress in August 2025: Frequently Asked Questions
The RERA inspection dated 28 August 2025 certified Lime Gardens at 100% against DLD project number 2418, held by Dubai Hills Estate L.L.C under developer number 984.
The certified figure rose 8.95 points, from 91.05% on 23 May 2025 to 100% on 28 August 2025. That was the last movement recorded on project 2418, closing a build that started on 06 October 2022.
The notes state that construction activities were completed, all meters were fixed, and the building completion certificate and Dubai Civil Defence clearance had been obtained. District cooling is recorded as the A/C type, and an undertaking letter had been provided for snagging and other items.
The RERA progress indicator on this report reads Completed rather than progressing, which is the reading given once the main contract works are finished. It is published separately from the percentage, and on 28 August 2025 both pointed the same way.
Two are named in the report: the building completion certificate, which confirms the structure was signed off as built, and Dubai Civil Defence clearance, which covers fire and life safety systems. Both had been obtained by the date of the inspection.
Yes. The same report that certifies completion also records an undertaking letter provided for snagging and other items, meaning defect work was formally acknowledged as outstanding at certification. Certification confirms the building was completed to programme, not that an individual apartment is defect free.
No. The 28 August 2025 reading is the final certified figure for project 2418, and the DLD register carries the project as Finished with no later inspection recorded. The readings that led to it are published in sequence on the Lime Gardens construction updates hub.
