Palace Residences Hillside Construction Progress Summary
Between the previous recorded reading and the 05 May 2026 inspection, Palace Residences Hillside moved from 5.77% to 7.87%, a 2.10 point gain earned entirely in mobilization, enabling and foundation activity on plot 5410. Seven months after the 30 September 2025 construction start, the certified work is still below the lowest slab.
- Project registration with the DLD recorded on 07 August 2025
- Construction start recorded on 30 September 2025
- Main contract in place and recorded as progressing at inspection
- Contractor mobilization, still ongoing at the 05 May 2026 visit
- Enabling works across the plot
- Foundation works for the single basement level
- Superstructure for the ground floor, podium and twenty residential levels
- Facade, MEP and interior fit out across the 359 residences
- Remaining RERA inspection cycles toward 100%
- Building completion certificate and handover from June 2029
Payment Linked Progress
What 7.87% Progress Means for Palace Residences Hillside Buyers
Most Dubai off plan payment plans tie instalments to construction milestones or to calendar dates, so a verified reading of 7.87% is not just a status update: it tells you which obligations and protections apply while the building is still below ground. At this stage of Palace Residences Hillside, four actions matter most.
Verify the escrow account
Every instalment ahead of handover should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 4015, whose trust account is recorded with First Abu Dhabi Bank in the 05 May 2026 inspection report. Palace Residences Hillside escrow account verification is the step before any transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Map your SPA against the payment dates
The published schedule runs on calendar dates until the construction linked instalments begin at 50% completion in September 2027, so confirm which form your own sale and purchase agreement uses. Not sure how your instalments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the certified milestones.
Confirm your Oqood registration
At this stage the interim registration of an off plan sale is what puts your name against project 4015 in the DLD record. Ask for the registration confirmation and check the unit number, area and price on it against your sale and purchase agreement.
Track each inspection reading
Just over three years of inspection cycles separate the May 2026 reading from the completion date on record. Palace Residences Hillside construction updates hub keeps every certified 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 7.87%?
Entering at the foundation stage buys the longest instalment runway the project will ever offer and the earliest position on its price list, in exchange for carrying the build from the ground up. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 4015, released against certified construction progress.
- Certified inspection readings already on record, the latest 7.87% on 05 May 2026
- Construction start certified 30 September 2025, not a paper start date
- The full instalment runway to the 30 June 2029 completion date
- Committed before any inspection reading exists to check
- Contractor mobilization still unproven on the ground
- The same payment structure with less evidence behind it

For buyers entering at this stage, the trade off is the full construction wait against the longest instalment runway the plan offers, with handover expected from June 2029 per the current DLD record.
Palace Residences Hillside Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Palace Residences Hillside Location on Dubai Map
Palace Residences Hillside occupies plot 5410 in Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid, the district name the DLD register uses for Dubai Hills Estate, and at 7.87% every item certified this cycle sits below ground: the enabling works and the foundations for the single basement that will carry the ground floor, the podium and twenty residential levels above it.
Because the surrounding community is already built out, with the golf course, the mall, the parks and the schools all in service, this project is being built into a finished neighborhood rather than an emerging one, which is the practical counterweight to a completion date three years out. See the project’s position on the interactive Dubai real estate map.

Palace Residences Hillside Construction Progress in May 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
As of the RERA inspection conducted on 05 May 2026, Palace Residences Hillside stands at 7.87% construction progress in the DLD project register, where it is recorded as Palace Residences Hillside A under project number 4015. The inspection report describes contractor mobilization as ongoing, with enabling and foundation works progressing.
The DLD record moved from a previous inspection reading of 5.77% to 7.87% on 05 May 2026, a gain of 2.10 points. Those points were earned below ground on the substructure works, so almost nothing of the gain is visible from the road at this stage of the project.
Yes. Expected completion dates in the DLD project register can be revised between inspection cycles. The date shown here reflects the record as it stood at the 05 May 2026 inspection of project 4015, and any revision would appear in a later update on this cluster.
The 05 May 2026 inspection report records mobilization ongoing and enabling and foundation works progressing on plot 5410. The registered building description is a single basement, ground floor, one podium level, twenty residential floors, a mechanical level and roof, so the works certified in this cycle sit at and below the lowest of those levels.
The developer payment schedule places the second instalment of 10% in May 2026, the same month as this inspection. It is a calendar dated instalment rather than a construction linked one; the first construction linked instalment on the published plan is tied to 50% completion in September 2027. Your own sale and purchase agreement governs and should be read directly.
The DLD register still showed 30 June 2029 as expected completion at the 05 May 2026 inspection, with 92.13 percentage points and just over three years separating the two. Construction start was recorded on 30 September 2025, so the project reached 7.87% in roughly seven months of certified work. How inspection cycles run through to completion certification is covered on the Palace Residences Hillside construction updates hub.
