Lime Gardens Construction Progress Summary
The 16 January 2025 inspection put Lime Gardens at 80.13%, 19.01 points above the previous certified figure of 61.12%. The register carries no date against that earlier reading, so the movement is documented between cycles rather than across a stated number of months. What the two figures bracket is the point where the work stopped being about raising the tower and became about closing and fitting it out.
- Enabling and foundation works, recorded complete in the inspection notes
- Construction start on 06 October 2022, after DLD registration in June 2022
- 61.12 percent of certified progress logged before this cycle opened
- Concrete structure and internal works across the G+Podium+23 tower
- MEP packages: mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installation
- External envelope and internal finishes on the residential floors
- External works, newly started on site at the time of this visit
- The certified readings that follow this one toward 100%
- Building completion certificate procedures
- Handover of 291 residences and two ground floor retail spaces
Payment Linked Progress
What 80.13% Progress Meant for Lime Gardens Buyers
Emaar sold Lime Gardens on an 80/20 construction linked plan, with instalments falling due at the 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80 percent completion marks. A certified 80.13% on 16 January 2025 therefore cleared the last of those construction triggers. Four actions mattered at that reading, and three of them still matter to anyone buying the finished building today.
Verify the escrow account
Construction stage instalments for project 2418 were payable into the DLD regulated escrow account, named on this inspection record as held with Mashreq Bank PSC. Lime Gardens escrow account verification is the step before any transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Map your SPA to the 80% trigger
The seventh instalment on the published plan fell due upon 80 percent construction completion, dated June 2025 at launch and certified in January 2025. Not sure which of your instalments attached to which milestone? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the certified readings.
Book the snagging window
Lime Gardens had passed 70 percent at this reading and the register now records it as Finished, so the pre handover inspection window is open rather than approaching. The Lime Gardens snagging inspection guide covers documenting defects before you sign acceptance.
Read the cycles that followed
The certified readings after January 2025 are published month by month. The Lime Gardens construction updates hub carries the record from foundations through to the completed tower.
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 Now That Lime Gardens Is Complete?
Buying a finished building removes the two variables this page exists to track: the delivery date and the construction risk. What is left to check is the specific unit, its floor, and its service charge. Every off plan instalment went to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 2418, released against certified progress like the 80.13 percent recorded here.
- The whole inspection record is closed evidence, not a forecast
- Keys and rental income begin at transfer, not after a build cycle
- Consideration settles at DLD registration instead of across instalments
- Every certified reading still ahead of you, including the ones that slip
- Three to four years between the booking form and the keys
- Instalments spread across the build, at launch price levels

About the Development
Lime Gardens Project Details
At 80.13% the building was structurally advanced with envelope and interiors running together: 291 residences in one G+Podium+23 tower facing Dubai Hills Park, mixing one, two and three bedroom apartments with duplex townhouses wrapped around the base. Starting prices: AED 1.55M ≈ USD 422K.
For a buyer arriving after this record closed, the trade off has inverted: instead of a payment runway against an unbuilt tower, Lime Gardens offers a finished residence that can be inspected room by room before acceptance.
Site Context This Cycle
Explore Lime Gardens Location on Dubai Map
Lime Gardens occupies plot 2452 in Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid, on the park and mall side of Dubai Hills Estate rather than the golf side, with residences split between park facing and boulevard facing frontages. That single plot, single tower footprint is why the January 2025 works read as they do: envelope, MEP and finishes running concurrently up one building rather than sequencing across separate plots.
Because Dubai Hills Park, Dubai Hills Mall, King's College Hospital and the GEMS schools were already open around the site, Lime Gardens was finishing into a working neighbourhood, which is the context for the inspector recording external works starting while the surrounding roads and services were already live.

Lime Gardens Construction Progress in January 2025: Frequently Asked Questions
The RERA inspection carried out on 16 January 2025 recorded Lime Gardens at 80.13% construction progress against DLD project number 2418.
The reading moved from 61.12% to 80.13%, a gain of 19.01 points. The register carries no date against the 61.12% figure, so the interval between the two readings is not stated in the record and is not inferred here.
The inspection notes record enabling and foundation works complete, structure and internal works at a very good stage, and MEP, external envelope and internal finishes progressing at good stages. External works had started on site at the time of the visit.
Emaar's published Lime Gardens schedule tied a 10% instalment to 80% construction completion and printed June 2025 against it. The certified 80.13% on 16 January 2025 met that threshold ahead of the printed date. Individual obligations are set by each buyer's own sale and purchase agreement rather than by the launch schedule.
Yes. The DLD project register records project 2418 as Finished and the building is handed over, so the January 2025 reading belongs to a closed build record rather than a live tracker. The readings that came after it are published on the Lime Gardens construction updates hub.
The 16 January 2025 Independent Progress Monitoring Report names Mashreq Bank PSC as the trust account bank for project 2418, registered to Dubai Hills Estate L.L.C under developer number 984.
The register lists 25,932.25 square metres of built area for project 2418 on plot 2452 in Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid. The January 2025 report describes the scheme as a single tower of ground plus podium plus 23 floors, residential with retail, built as a concrete structure with block infill and internal and external finishes.
