Ocean House Construction Progress Summary
The RERA progress monitoring report dated 3 September 2026 records the enabling, foundation and structure works on the B+G+9 Ocean House building as completed, with internal works at an advanced stage. What remains on site sits in the external envelope, the internal finishes, the MEP systems and the external works, each progressing at its own stage.
- Enabling works on the Northeastern Crescent site
- Foundation works across the building footprint
- Structure works for the B+G+9 building: basement, ground floor and nine upper floors
- Internal works, recorded at an advanced stage
- External envelope of the residential building
- Internal finishes across the 95 residences
- MEP systems: mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations
- External works on a site whose registered scope includes a gym and swimming pools
- Further DLD register readings toward 100%
- Building completion procedures with the authorities
- Handover, expected by the developer in Q4 2026
Payment Linked Progress
What 80.7% Progress Means for Ocean House Buyers
The developer's published 60/40 plan ties six instalments to construction stages up to 70%, so a register reading of 80.7% moves the focus to the 40% scheduled on completion and to the protections around it. At this stage of Ocean House, four actions matter most.
Verify the escrow account
Any payment still ahead of handover, the completion instalment included, should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 2691 with Bank of Sharjah. Ocean House 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 completion instalment and the handover notice period, and map those clauses against the Q4 2026 expected handover. Not sure how your instalments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Book the snagging window
At 80.7%, recorded on 3 September 2026, and with handover expected in Q4 2026, Ocean House is in the booking window for a pre handover inspection: plan it now, then book it around your handover appointment once the developer's notice arrives. The Ocean House snagging inspection guide covers what is checked before acceptance.
Track the remaining readings
Further register readings will follow the 80.7% figure before completion. Ocean House construction updates keeps each reading dated and in sequence, so a change in the record is visible as soon as it is published.
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 80.7%?
Entering a late-stage project trades payment-plan runway for a clearer picture: structure works are recorded as completed, the developer expects handover in Q4 2026, and the remaining choice is between the residences still open. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 2691, released against recorded construction progress.
- Structure works recorded as completed in the 3 September 2026 RERA report
- Handover expected by the developer in Q4 2026
- Instalments already triggered fall due under the developer's terms at signing; 40% is scheduled on completion
- Construction risk carried from groundworks through to handover
- A delivery horizon usually measured in years rather than months
- Payments spread across the build, at launch price levels

About the Development
Ocean House Project Details
With structure works recorded as completed, Ocean House is a late-stage single building of 95 residences on Palm Jumeirah's Northeastern Crescent, from 2 bedroom apartments and duplexes to a 6 bedroom Presidential Residence. Starting prices: AED 10.56M ≈ USD 2.88M.
For buyers entering at this stage, the trade off is a short wait against less payment-plan runway, with handover expected by the developer in Q4 2026 and the completion instalment still ahead.
Ocean House by Ellington Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Ocean House Location on Dubai Map
Ocean House sits on the Northeastern Crescent of Palm Jumeirah, the island's outer ring, where the developer describes a dual-aspect building geometry that turns living spaces toward the sea, the Burj Al Arab and the Dubai skyline. On a crescent site open to the water, the external envelope and the external works around the pools are the packages that complete the building's public face, and the September 2026 report lists both as progressing.
Palm Jumeirah is an established island community with completed roads, hotels and retail, and the developer's location guide puts The Boardwalk about 1 minute's drive away and Atlantis The Palm about 3 minutes' drive. Ocean House is therefore finishing into a functioning neighbourhood, which matters for buyers weighing their own use or letting plans against the Q4 2026 expected handover.

Ocean House Construction Progress in September 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
Ocean House stood at 80.7% in the Dubai Land Department project register, a reading recorded on 3 September 2026 for project 2691. The RERA progress monitoring report of the same date prints no percentage of its own: it describes the works on site and gives the progress status as Main Contract, Progressing.
The register lists a previous inspection reading of 71.3% beside the 3 September 2026 figure, but shows no date for that earlier reading. Without a date, the pair cannot be turned into a measured monthly pace, so this page treats 71.3% as a reference point only and draws no speed conclusion from it.
Q4 2026 remains the developer's expected handover as of this update, and nothing in the September 2026 record states otherwise. Developer timetables can be revised between register readings, so buyers should confirm the current construction and handover timetable with the developer in writing. How register readings relate to handover over the life of the build is covered on the Ocean House construction updates pillar.
The report dated 3 September 2026 describes a basement, ground floor and nine upper floors (B+G+9) with a gym and swimming pools, and records the enabling, foundation and structure works as completed. Internal works were found at an advanced stage, while the external envelope, internal finishes, MEP systems and external works were progressing at different stages across the site.
Under the developer's published 60/40 plan, six instalments of 5% fall due at 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% construction, so all six had been triggered by the 3 September 2026 reading of 80.7%. The four reservation-date instalments, totalling 30%, fall due within 120 days of each buyer's own reservation date, which means 60% of the price had fallen due for an original buyer under the plan. The remaining scheduled payment is the 40% on completion; individual payment positions depend on each SPA.
The image at the top of this page is a developer rendering of the planned covered entrance and landscaped facade, supplied for the September 2026 update; it shows the design intent and does not document site progress. The RERA report for 3 September 2026 carries its own inspection photographs, which remain part of the official record and are not reproduced here.
The 80.7% figure was recorded on 3 September 2026, and the register is updated after each RERA site visit, so a newer reading may already exist by the time you read this page. The current figure can be checked in the Dubai REST app or on the Dubai Land Department project register by searching project number 2691 or the register name Ocean House.
