Construction Snapshot
Elara at Madinat Jumeirah Living at a Glance
Elara is the Meraas addition of 237 residences to Madinat Jumeirah Living in Umm Suqeim, registered with the Dubai Land Department on 14 September 2023 and started on site 72 days later, on 25 November 2023. It is not one tower but three mid-rise buildings sharing a single plot, two with nine upper floors and one with ten, so every register percentage on this page blends three structures and the landscaped courtyards between them. Its registered completion date of 25 November 2026 falls within the Q4 2026 handover Meraas estimates.

Inspection Record
Elara at Madinat Jumeirah Living Construction Update Timeline
Elara's record holds a single dated reading so far: 64.27% after the RERA inspection of 20 July 2026, which came 968 days into a build that began on 25 November 2023. The DLD app also shows an earlier figure of 53.56% but gives it no date, so it sits on the track below as an undated dot rather than a table row. The one row in the table links the full July 2026 update for Buildings A, B and C.

Pace Analysis
How Fast Elara at Madinat Jumeirah Living Has Been Built
With one dated reading on file, Elara has no inspection-to-inspection pace to measure yet. What its dates do support is arithmetic, not a forecast: the average since the 25 November 2023 start, and the monthly rate that would close the 35.73 points left after 20 July 2026 against each completion reference (30-day months):
- 25 Nov 2023 to 20 Jul 2026: whole build to date, 64.27 points over 968 daysAbout 1.99 points per month
- 20 Jul 2026 to 25 Nov 2026, the registered completion date: 35.73 points over 128 daysAbout 8.37 points per month
- 20 Jul 2026 to 31 Dec 2026, the end of the Q4 2026 estimate: 35.73 points over 164 daysAbout 6.54 points per month
These three numbers describe the calendar, not the site. The RERA report of 20 July 2026 places Elara past its enabling, foundation and structure packages, and what remains is spread across internal works, envelope, MEP, finishes and the external works around three buildings, scope the register tends to record in uneven steps rather than the steady climb of floor slabs. None of the figures is a verdict on timing, and none should be read as one. For an end user planning a move into one of the 237 residences, or an investor timing a first lease, the practical reading is simpler: check the newest figure posted for project 2754 and get the handover date from Meraas in writing.

Between 64.27% and Handover: What Elara at Madinat Jumeirah Living Buyers Should Do Now
Elara's remaining 35.73 points after 20 July 2026 sit inside and around three structures recorded as complete on that date, in the envelope, services, finishes and courtyard works the RERA report lists as underway, and that is the stretch where preparation by buyers counts for more than watching the percentage. A handover notice usually leaves only a short window to complete the appointment, so the three steps below belong before the notice for the Q4 2026 handover arrives, not after it.
First, line up independent snagging so defects in your apartment or penthouse are documented before you accept it; the Elara snagging inspection page covers timing around the handover and what gets checked.
Second, the Elara 70/30 Payment Plan calls 20% on booking and 50% during construction, so 70% before handover and the last 30% on handover; read your own SPA for which of those payments are still due and send each one only to the trust account confirmed on the Elara escrow account page for project 2754 at First Abu Dhabi Bank.
Third, if your purchase may support residency, settle eligibility before handover through the Elara Golden Visa guide, since the move from Oqood to title deed shapes the application path.
Send me your unit number on WhatsApp and I will tell you what the latest inspection means for your handover and map the sequence for your specific unit.

FAQs
Elara at Madinat Jumeirah Living Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
Elara, active DLD project 2754, is in its envelope, MEP and fit-out stage: the RERA report dated 20 July 2026 records the enabling, foundation and structure packages as done, and the register posted 64.27% for that inspection. The full record is in the inspection timeline above.
Elara's latest reading is 64.27%, posted after the RERA inspection of 20 July 2026, which is 10.71 points above the previous register figure of 53.56%. The DLD app shows that earlier figure without a date, so the gap cannot be converted into a monthly rate. The full report for that inspection is in the Elara construction update for July 2026.
Construction at Elara started on 25 November 2023, 72 days after the project was registered with the Dubai Land Department on 14 September 2023. The 64.27% reading of 20 July 2026 came 968 days into the build, just under 32 calendar months.
Not exactly. Project 2754 carries a registered completion date of 25 November 2026 on the DLD record, while Meraas estimates handover in Q4 2026, so the registered date falls inside the developer's estimate. Neither date confirms a handover: at the 20 July 2026 reading the register stood at 64.27%, and only Meraas can set the handover appointment, so its written schedule is the reference to rely on. This page's record is updated as new readings are posted.
Measured from the 25 November 2023 start, Elara's register averaged about 1.99 points per month up to the 64.27% reading of 20 July 2026. Closing the remaining 35.73 points by the registered completion date of 25 November 2026 works out to about 8.37 points per month, or about 6.54 points per month by 31 December 2026; all three figures are arithmetic, not a forecast. The full breakdown is in the pace analysis above.
Elara includes 237 residences according to Meraas, made up of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and 4 bedroom penthouses spread across Buildings A, B and C. When the register read 64.27% on 20 July 2026, internal finishes were recorded as progressing across those residences.
