Marina Place 1 Construction Snapshot
A 4.23% register reading dated 3 April 2026 places Marina Place 1 in the earliest construction band, where the figure matters less for how the building looks and more for when milestone-linked instalments and escrow checks come into play.

Data source: RERA inspection conducted on 3 April 2026 (Independent Progress Monitoring Report, progress status Enabling Works, Progressing) and the DLD project register for project 3386, which carries the 4.23% reading; the inspection report itself prints no percentage. This is the latest reading in the supplied record. The header image is a developer rendering of the planned podium entrance, not a site photograph.

Marina Place 1 Construction Progress Summary
Marina Place 1 entered the DLD register on 15 November 2024 and construction started on 24 April 2025, 160 days later. When RERA inspected the site on 3 April 2026, 344 days into the build, the report found enabling and piling works progressing. No earlier dated reading exists in the supplied record, so this cycle sets a starting point rather than a measured movement.

Payment Linked Progress
What 4.23% Progress Means for Marina Place 1 Buyers
Emaar's published 80/20 plan for Marina Place 1 set its first four instalments to calendar dates, together 40% falling due by January 2026, and links the next five to construction completion, starting with 20% completion at an indicative August 2026 date. Against a 4.23% reading, the timing of those milestone-linked instalments follows actual construction progress as your SPA defines it. At this stage, four actions matter most.
Verify the escrow account
Every instalment should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 3386, held with Emirates NBD. Marina Place 1 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 defines the 20% construction completion trigger for the 4th instalment and how each milestone is notified, then map those clauses against the 4.23% reading of 3 April 2026. Not sure how your installments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Confirm your Oqood registration
Oqood is the DLD interim register for off plan units. Check that your Marina Place 1 unit is recorded under your name against project 3386 and that the registered details match your SPA, because that record carries your purchase through every later stage to title.
Track the remaining cycles
With 95.77 points still to be recorded before 100%, many inspection readings lie between this one and handover in Q4 2028. Marina Place 1 construction updates keep each dated reading in one place.
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 4.23%?
Entering at enabling and piling stage trades certainty for runway: the site is at its earliest recorded stage, handover is expected in Q4 2028, and most of the milestone-linked schedule still lies ahead. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 3386, released against construction progress recorded through RERA inspections.
- Enabling and piling works progressing per the 3 April 2026 RERA report
- Handover expected in Q4 2028, a runway of more than two years
- 60% of the 80/20 plan tied to construction milestones not yet reached
- Most construction risk retired by the time of entry
- Months rather than years to the delivery horizon
- Shorter runway, with most of the price due close to handover
Limited units available as of this update; availability shifts between cycles.
About the Development
Marina Place 1 Project Details
With enabling and piling works progressing as of 3 April 2026, Marina Place 1 is at the start of a build planned to deliver 162 residences: 1 to 3 bedroom apartments across two blocks of 12 and 9 floors, plus a limited number of two-level townhouses. Starting prices: AED 2.08M ≈ USD 566K.
For buyers entering at this stage, the trade off is a longer wait to handover in Q4 2028 against more of the payment plan still tied to construction milestones beyond the April 2026 reading.
Marina Place 1 by Emaar Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Marina Place 1 Location on Dubai Map
Marina Place 1 sits on a marina-front plot in Rashid Yachts & Marina, and the developer's key layout arranges its residential blocks around a central pool courtyard with the frontage facing the water. On a waterfront site, the ground has to be prepared and piled before anything rises, which is why enabling and piling works define the April 2026 inspection rather than any visible building.
Rashid Yachts & Marina is organised around a full-service marina with residences, restaurants and shops, so the surroundings of Marina Place 1 are further along than the building itself; with handover expected in Q4 2028, buyers can judge the setting now and follow the building reading by reading.

Marina Place 1 Construction Progress in April 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
The DLD project register records Marina Place 1 at 4.23% construction progress following the RERA inspection of 3 April 2026, and the inspection report lists the progress status as Enabling Works, Progressing. The report itself prints no percentage: 4.23% is the register reading for project 3386.
Handover is expected in Q4 2028, and the DLD record as of April 2026 carries a registered completion date of 31 December 2028, which falls inside that quarter. Registered completion dates can be revised between inspection cycles, so the date is worth checking against the DLD register at each new reading; any revision would be stated in a later update.
The Independent Progress Monitoring Report dated 3 April 2026 notes that enabling and piling works were progressing at the site. It describes the planned development as townhouses over ground and podium levels, a shared underground tank, ground and first-floor amenity levels, two residential blocks of 12 and 9 floors, and a roof. The report carries inspection photographs; they are record documents and are not reproduced here.
On 3 April 2026 the site was still in enabling and piling works, the stage before the underground tank, the amenity levels and the two residential blocks rise, and early stages like this typically register low percentages. The figure places Marina Place 1 at the start of its build, 344 days after construction began on 24 April 2025, with handover expected in Q4 2028.
The app's inspection card dated 3 April 2026 shows 4.23% as current progress, and the app's previous-inspection figure also reads 4.23%, undated. Without a date for the earlier figure, no movement between the two readings can be measured, so this record reports the 3 April 2026 value on its own and draws no pace conclusion from the pair.
The DLD register lists Marina Place 1 as registered on 15 November 2024, the same month as the down payment in Emaar's published plan, with construction starting on 24 April 2025, 160 days later. The April 2026 inspection took place on 3 April 2026, 344 days after that start date.
