RAW District 2 Construction Snapshot

RAW District 2 Construction Progress Summary
This is the first reading on record for RAW District 2, so there is no earlier inspection to compare against and no measured pace. The RERA monitoring report dated 08 July 2026 found no construction activities started and gives a Progress Status of N/A; the DLD register then lists the project as registered on 24 July 2026, with a registered construction start date of 01 December 2026.
- Baseline RERA inspection of the site on 08 July 2026
- DLD project registration under number 4526 on 24 July 2026
- Trust account bank on record: Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB)
- No construction activities started at the 08 July 2026 inspection
- RERA Progress Status recorded as N/A

Payment Linked Progress
What 0% Progress Means for RAW District 2 Buyers
Both published RAW District 2 payment plans take 20% at booking, and the first dated instalment, 5% on 15 November 2026, falls before the registered construction start of 01 December 2026. With the register at 0%, those early payments are made before works begin, so four checks come first.
Verify the escrow account
Every instalment should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 4526; the RERA report of 08 July 2026 names Dubai Islamic Bank as the trust account bank. RAW District 2 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 dates each instalment from 15 November 2026 onward, how it defines the completion payment, and which handover date it records against Q2 2029. Not sure how your instalments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Confirm your Oqood registration
An off plan unit at RAW District 2 is registered with the Dubai Land Department through Oqood after the SPA is signed and the 4% DLD registration fee is paid. Check that the Oqood record names your unit and your details exactly; your SPA and the developer set the timing.
Watch for the first reading above zero
With works registered to start on 01 December 2026, the next meaningful change is the first reading above the 0% baseline. RAW District 2 construction updates hub records each new reading 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 0%?
Entering before construction starts trades the longest wait for the longest payment runway: launch release pricing, 20% at booking, and instalments spread through the build to Q2 2029, or beyond it on the post-handover plan. Every instalment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 4526, released against construction progress as RERA inspections record it.
- Baseline DLD register reading of 0% on 08 July 2026, before works start
- 20% plus the 4% DLD registration fee at booking on either plan
- Option to pay 40% over three years after handover on the 60/40 plan
- Structure visible on site before you commit
- Shorter wait, with less of the payment plan left to spread
- Pricing from a later release rather than the launch

About the Development
RAW District 2 Project Details
With no works started at the 08 July 2026 inspection, RAW District 2 is a pre-construction launch of 770 units: furnished studios to 3 bedroom apartments in one tower, offices in the other, and podium retail on Sheikh Zayed Road. Starting prices: AED 666K ≈ USD 181K.
Buying at this stage trades the longest wait to the Q2 2029 handover for launch release pricing and the full span of either payment plan, with every date and obligation fixed in your SPA.
RAW District 2 by Imtiaz Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore RAW District 2 Location on Dubai Map
RAW District 2 sits on Sheikh Zayed Road in Downtown Jebel Ali, fronted by the 80,000 sq ft Flame Tree Park with a Dubai Metro station on its far side. No construction activity had started on the site at the 08 July 2026 inspection, and with three basement levels in the configuration, below-ground works have to come before anything rises above ground level.
Around the site, the metro link across the park and the first RAW District a short walk away are already part of the setting, so buyers at the 0% baseline are committing to an address whose transport is in place while the building itself has yet to begin. See the project’s position on the interactive Dubai real estate map.

RAW District 2 Construction Progress in July 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
RAW District 2 stands at 0% in the Dubai Land Department project register for project 4526, from the inspection dated 08 July 2026. It is the first and only reading on record for this update, so there is no earlier figure to compare it with. The RERA monitoring report of the same date prints no percentage: it records a Progress Status of N/A.
Because RAW District 2 is being sold off plan before works begin. When the site was inspected on 08 July 2026 no construction activity had started, and the registered construction start date in the DLD record is 01 December 2026, so the 0% figure is the starting baseline for the project rather than a measure of slow work.
The Independent Progress Monitoring Report dated 08 July 2026 states: "At time of inspection found: no construction activities have been started". The same report describes the project as a mixed-use building of three basements, ground, five podium levels, 16 floors and roof for residential, office and retail use, lists Dubai Islamic Bank as the trust account bank, and gives a Progress Status of N/A.
The DLD record lists the 0% inspection on 08 July 2026, project registration on 24 July 2026 and a registered construction start date of 01 December 2026. The July 2026 reading therefore comes before both the registration and the start date, and it serves as the baseline that every later RAW District 2 reading will be measured against.
No. A 0% reading taken before the registered construction start does not move any date: the developer's published handover remains Q2 2029, and the DLD register lists a registered completion date of 01 December 2029. Either date can be revised in later cycles, and your SPA records the date that applies to your unit. How readings are tracked through to handover is explained on the RAW District 2 construction updates hub.
No date for the next inspection appears in the record, and no reading later than 08 July 2026 is on file for this update. A new reading is added to the DLD project register after each RERA site visit, and readings above 0% depend on works starting, which the register dates to 01 December 2026.
