Construction Snapshot
LUMENA at a Glance
LUMENA by OMNIYAT is a 99-office commercial tower planned to rise 260 metres on plot 139, the Sheikh Zayed Road gateway into Business Bay. Project 3758 entered the DLD register on 16 July 2025, logged its construction start as 31 December 2025, and holds one dated reading so far: 0% on 25 March 2026. Because seven basement levels are planned beneath the tower, this plot has to go down before any of its 45 floors can go up.

Inspection Record
LUMENA Construction Update Timeline
The LUMENA record opens with a single dated reading: 0% in the DLD register on 25 March 2026, from a RERA inspection whose notes found no construction activities started and whose progress status reads N/A. The register sets the construction start at 31 December 2025 and the registered completion date at 30 December 2029, while handover is scheduled for Q4 2029. That is why the track below carries one dot at its starting edge, and the table holds one row linking the March 2026 update that documents it.

Pace Analysis
How Fast LUMENA Has Been Built
A pace figure divides the change between two dated readings by the time between them, and LUMENA's record holds only one. What the register does fix are the intervals below, shown as plain date arithmetic and not as a forecast:
- 16 Jul 2025 to 31 Dec 2025: DLD registration of project 3758 to the registered construction start168 days
- 31 Dec 2025 to 25 Mar 2026: registered construction start to the first dated inspection, 0% recorded84 days
- 25 Mar 2026 to the Q4 2029 handover: recorded progress still to come from the 0% baseline100 points
The DLD app also shows a previous inspection at 0%, but without a date it offers no span to divide by, so this page prints no points-per-month figure and calculates no required rate to reach Q4 2029. The record is therefore a sequence rather than a curve: registration on 16 July 2025, a registered start on 31 December 2025, and an inspection 84 days later whose notes found no construction activities started, each printed exactly as recorded. For an investor timing an entry, the first measurable pace arrives only with the second dated reading on project 3758; for a company planning to occupy its own floors, the dates that matter until then are the instalment calendar in its SPA and the Q4 2029 handover.

LUMENA Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
With a single dated reading on project 3758, only the first stage below carries dates from the register; the other four follow the tower's own configuration of 7 basements + G + 45 floors + roof and stay unrecorded until a dated reading places LUMENA inside them.
Registration and Pre-Construction
DLD project 3758 entered the register on 16 July 2025 and logged its construction start as 31 December 2025; the 25 March 2026 inspection then read 0%, its notes showing construction activities not yet started.
Excavation and Seven Basement Levels
Digging out the seven planned basement levels is the first work any later reading could pick up on plot 139; no dated inspection has reached this stage.
Core and 45-Floor Superstructure
The ground floor, 45 floors and roof that carry the tower to 260 metres, served by double-deck passenger lifts; this stage is not yet in the register.
Sculpted Facade, Sky Gardens, and Podium
Enclosing the sculpted facade, private terraces and landscaped sky gardens, and fitting the retail and dining podium at the base; no reading covers this stage yet.
Shell and Core Offices and Handover
Offices are handed over shell and core, with handover scheduled for Q4 2029; the closing reading that confirms completion has not been recorded.
What each construction stage involves in general is covered once in the guides on the Dubai Construction Updates hub, so this page stays focused on LUMENA's own record.

Between 0% and Handover: What LUMENA Buyers Should Do Now
With 0% recorded against project 3758 on 25 March 2026, the useful work for a LUMENA buyer is on paper rather than on site: knowing where each payment goes, settling the residency question early, and knowing which reading to watch next. The urgency comes from the calendar, not the crane: LUMENA's 50/50 plan is time-based, so the instalments during construction fall due on dates counted from the SPA effective date whether or not the register has moved, which is why the three steps below come first.
First, check each transfer against the project 3758 escrow account held at Dubai Islamic Bank (PJSC); the LUMENA escrow account page shows how to confirm it against the official DLD record before money leaves your bank.
Second, if an office purchase is part of a residency plan, read the LUMENA Golden Visa guide early: every office tier is priced above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, and eligibility is subject to ICP / DLD confirmation for commercial property at the time of application.
Third, follow the record from its starting point: the LUMENA March 2026 inspection update documents the baseline in full, and each later dated reading joins the timeline above as it publishes.

FAQs
LUMENA Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
LUMENA by OMNIYAT is an active DLD-registered project (number 3758) at its pre-construction baseline, and its only dated register reading, taken at the 25 March 2026 inspection, is 0%. The reading had aged 184 days by the time this page was prepared, so the figure should be re-verified on Dubai REST; the full record is in the inspection timeline above.
The latest LUMENA by OMNIYAT inspection, dated 25 March 2026, shows no measurable change because it is the first dated reading: 0% in the DLD register, with a RERA progress status of N/A. The DLD app lists a previous inspection at 0% but gives it no date, so there is no dated earlier reading and no point delta. The inspection is documented in the March 2026 construction update.
Q4 2029 is the scheduled handover for LUMENA by OMNIYAT, and the registered completion date the DLD holds for project 3758 is 30 December 2029, the second-to-last day of that same quarter, so register and handover quarter agree. Against those dates the register read 0% on 25 March 2026, and this page's record is updated as each later dated reading is published.
LUMENA by OMNIYAT includes 99 offices, offered as offices, half floor offices and full floor offices, in a 260-metre commercial tower that the RERA inspection report of 25 March 2026 describes as 7 basements + G + 45 floors + roof. The offices are delivered shell and core, and the layouts are covered in the LUMENA by OMNIYAT project guide.
The DLD register records a construction start of 31 December 2025 for LUMENA by OMNIYAT, following the project's registration on 16 July 2025. The first dated inspection came 84 days after that start, on 25 March 2026, and recorded 0% with no construction activities started; both dates are shown here exactly as recorded.
At the 25 March 2026 inspection, LUMENA by OMNIYAT had no recorded construction work: the notes for plot 139 show that construction activities had not yet begun, and the DLD register reads 0% for that date. No later dated reading appears in this record yet; the stages the tower still has to pass through are mapped in the stage record above.
