Lime Gardens Construction Progress Summary
Between 16 January and 23 May 2025 the certified figure moved from 80.13% to 91.05%, a gain of 10.92 points. The substantive change in the record is narrower than the number: structure works, still listed as in progress at the January visit, are logged complete in this report, leaving services and finishes as the only packages carrying the remaining distance.
- Enabling and foundation works across plot 2452
- Structure works on the G+Podium+23 tower, recorded complete at this visit
- The 80.13 percent certified at the January 2025 reading
- MEP and internal works, noted at a very good stage
- External envelope and internal finishes, noted at good stages
- External works, now progressing rather than newly started
- Mobilisation still running on site at the date of the visit
- The final certified readings closing the last 8.95 points
- Building completion certificate procedures
- Transfer of 291 residences and two ground floor retail spaces
Payment Linked Progress
What 91.05% Progress Meant for Lime Gardens Buyers
Every construction linked trigger on the Emaar 80/20 schedule had already been certified by the time of this visit, the last of them at the 80 percent mark. From 91.05% onward the only sum still attached to the plan was the closing 20 percent, payable on completion and handover rather than against any further reading. Four checks defined that stretch.
Confirm where the final funds go
Construction stage money 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. Lime Gardens escrow account verification separates the two; the lookup takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Read your SPA handover clauses
At this stage the clauses that matter are the notice period, the acceptance window, and when service charges begin, not the milestone table. Want your own schedule read against the certified readings? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the record on this page.
Book the snagging inspection
Past 91 percent the finishes being certified are the same finishes an inspector will later mark up, and the register now records the building as Finished. The Lime Gardens snagging inspection guide sets out what to document before acceptance.
Follow the closing readings
Only a short stretch of certified progress sits between this report and completion. The Lime Gardens construction updates hub holds each reading in sequence, first to last.
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 Into a Record That Is Already Closed?
Reading a May 2025 inspection today is not forecasting a delivery date, it is auditing one that already happened. The building stands, the certified sequence behind it is public, and the open questions are unit specific: floor, aspect, condition and service charge. Every off plan instalment went to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 2418, released against certified progress like the 91.05 percent recorded here.
- The build record is evidence you can audit, not a schedule you must trust
- Viewing, snagging and valuation all happen on the actual unit
- Income or occupancy starts from transfer rather than from a future cycle
- Specification and layout are judged from renders and a show unit
- Delivery sits years out, tracked reading by certified reading
- Payments run across the build against milestone percentages

About the Development
Lime Gardens Project Details
By 91.05% the shell of Lime Gardens was fixed and only fit out remained: 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.
Anyone buying now inherits none of that build risk and none of the payment runway either, which turns the decision into a comparison between specific finished units rather than between launch positions.
Site Context This Cycle
Explore Lime Gardens Location on Dubai Map
The tower sits on a single plot facing Dubai Hills Park, with Umm Suqeim Street running along the western edge of the community and Al Khail Road carrying traffic in and out. A compact footprint of this kind is why the May 2025 record shows external works progressing across the whole site at once: there is no second phase to sequence against, so landscaping, hardstanding and services close out together as the facade completes.
The surrounding district was already delivered well before this reading, with the park, Dubai Hills Mall, the golf club, King's College Hospital and the GEMS schools all operating. For a buyer that matters more at 91.05% than it did at foundation stage, because the question shifts from what the neighbourhood will eventually become to what a finished residence here is worth against everything already trading around it.

Lime Gardens Construction Progress in May 2025: Frequently Asked Questions
The RERA inspection dated 23 May 2025 certified Lime Gardens at 91.05% against DLD project number 2418, held by Dubai Hills Estate L.L.C under developer number 984.
The certified figure rose 10.92 points, from 80.13% on 16 January 2025 to 91.05% on 23 May 2025. Both readings sit inside the finishing band, so the movement reflects fit out volume rather than any new structural milestone.
Enabling, foundation and structure works are all listed as completed. MEP and internal works were noted at a very good stage, external envelope and internal finishes at good stages, and external works progressing on site, with mobilisation works still running.
The report records the main contract as progressing on the RERA progress indicator. That is the indicator's normal reading for an active main contract and is published separately from the completion percentage, which stood at 91.05% on the same date.
No. The last construction linked instalment on Emaar's published schedule was tied to 80 percent completion, a threshold already certified at the January 2025 reading. After that only the closing 20 percent remained, and it was tied to completion and handover rather than to a percentage. Individual obligations are set by each buyer's own sale and purchase agreement.
8.95 percentage points remained. The DLD project register now records project 2418 as Finished, so those points were closed in the cycles that followed, and each of those readings is published in sequence on the Lime Gardens construction updates hub.
