The February 2026 Reading
Meriva Sunset Construction Progress Summary
The February 2026 figure belongs to DLD project 4346, a single register record for all of The Meriva Collection; its registered scope includes a basement-plus-ground-plus-20 high-rise residence, matching the developer's configuration for Meriva Sunset. With no construction activities started at that inspection, the record had nothing earlier to compare against, and every later reading will be measured from this point.
- DLD project 4346 registered on 14 April 2026, status Active
- Registered construction start of 03 April 2026
- Trust account bank on the inspection report: Sharjah Islamic Bank
- No construction activities started at the 25 February 2026 inspection
- Progress status shown as N/A on the inspection report
- One collection-wide reading shared by Meriva Sunset and the rest of The Meriva Collection
- Meriva Sunset itself: a ground floor, 20 residential floors and a rooftop over a basement, served by 6 lifts
- Instalments due on completion of 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% construction of the project
- Handover expected in Q2 2030 per the developer
Payment Linked Progress
What 0% Progress Means for Meriva Sunset Buyers
The Meriva Sunset plan is 70/30 and mostly time-linked: 20% at booking, then 10% and four 5% payments between 60 and 360 days after reservation, all running from each buyer's own reservation date regardless of site progress. Four further 5% instalments follow construction milestones, and none of them had been triggered at the 0% reading. At this stage, four actions matter most.
Verify the escrow account
Half of the price falls due within 360 days of booking, so every transfer should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 4346 at Sharjah Islamic Bank. Meriva Sunset escrow account verification sets out the check; 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 words the four construction-linked instalments and the handover notice, and map them against the Q2 2030 handover. 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
Once the signed SPA is executed, the developer's booking steps say the unit is registered with the DLD. Ask for your Oqood registration record and confirm it names project 4346 before the construction-linked payments begin.
Track readings from the baseline
The first reading above 0% will be the first measured movement for The Meriva Collection. Meriva Sunset construction updates records each new reading against this February baseline.
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 the 0% Baseline?
Entering before construction starts trades waiting time for the widest payment runway: the plan, the building and the handover date are fixed on paper while the plot itself is still at its baseline. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 4346, released against recorded construction progress.
- 50% due within 360 days of booking, 20% across four construction milestones
- 30% of the 70/30 plan due at completion
- Handover expected Q2 2030, the full construction period still ahead
- Structure largely standing before the buyer commits
- Shorter wait to keys, less time for staged payments
- Pricing usually reflects construction already completed

About the Development
Meriva Sunset Project Details
At the February 2026 reading, Meriva Sunset was a registered plan rather than a rising structure: 377 residences on a ground floor, 20 residential floors and a rooftop over a basement, part of 903 residences in The Meriva Collection. Starting prices: AED 3.06M ≈ USD 832K.
For buyers entering at this stage, the trade off is the longest wait and the full construction period against the widest payment runway, with 30% held back until handover, expected in Q2 2030.
Meriva Sunset by Ellington Properties Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Meriva Sunset Location on Dubai Map
Meriva Sunset stands at the top of The Meriva Collection, the collection's highest viewpoint within a pedestrianised beachfront enclave on Island B, where waterways are planned to link the buildings to the shore. Because the February 2026 inspection found no construction activities started on the collection plot, this cycle records the site's position rather than any works on it.
Island B is reached by road, and the developer's own figures put Dubai Islands Mall 5 minutes away, Dubai International Airport and Dubai Festival City Mall 18 minutes, and Gold Souq Metro Station 20 minutes by car, which matters for buyers planning to rent or move in after the Q2 2030 handover.

Meriva Sunset Construction Progress in February 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
The DLD register reading dated 25 February 2026 is 0% for project 4346, registered as The Meriva Collection, the record that includes Meriva Sunset. It is the first reading on record for the project, so it sets the baseline that later readings will be compared with; no earlier figure or measured pace exists.
The inspection report dated 25 February 2026 states: "At time of inspection found: no construction activities have been started". It prints no percentage and shows its progress status as N/A, so the 0% figure on this page is the DLD register reading for project 4346, not a number taken from the report.
No. DLD project 4346 covers The Meriva Collection as a whole, and its 0% reading describes the entire registered scope rather than one building. That scope includes a basement-plus-ground-plus-20 high-rise residence, matching the developer's configuration for Meriva Sunset, alongside the other residences, a hotel and supporting amenities.
The DLD register lists the inspection on 25 February 2026, the construction start on 03 April 2026 and project registration on 14 April 2026, and it gives no reason for that sequence. This page prints each date exactly as recorded and treats the 25 February 2026 reading as the starting baseline for the record.
Nothing in the February 2026 record revises the developer's anticipated completion of Q2 2030, which remains the handover date used on this page. The DLD register separately shows a registered completion date of 31 December 2031 for project 4346. As plain arithmetic, not a forecast, 100 points remained over the 2,135 days from the 25 February 2026 reading to that registered date, about 1.41 points per 30-day month. How each later reading is tracked sits on the Meriva Sunset construction updates page.
By 29 September 2026 the 25 February 2026 reading was 216 days old, and it is the only reading this page draws on. Register figures can change after any inspection, so the live DLD record for project 4346 on Dubai REST is the place to confirm the current reading before relying on this one.
