This Inspection Cycle
RAW District by Imtiaz Construction Progress Summary
The June 2026 cycle sets the baseline for everything that follows: the RERA inspection on 09 June 2026 found that no construction activities had started, and the DLD register, which records the project as registered on 16 June 2026, shows 0%. Every later RAW District reading will be measured from this starting point.

- No construction activity recorded at the 09 June 2026 inspection
- Pre-start period ahead of the scheduled 15 October 2026 construction start
- Sales under the developer's dated plans, next instalment 15 October 2026

Payment Timing at 0%
What 0% Progress Means for RAW District Buyers
Both Imtiaz payment plans for RAW District set instalments by calendar date rather than by construction milestone, so a 0% reading does not pause them: the second instalment, 5% of the price, is scheduled for 15 October 2026, the same date the register gives for the construction start. At this stage, four actions matter most.
Verify the escrow account
Every payment, the booking amount included, should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 4500 at First Abu Dhabi Bank P.J.S.C. RAW District by Imtiaz escrow account verification is the step before any transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Read your SPA against the dated plan
Check whether your sale and purchase agreement follows the developer's dated schedule, 50/50 or the 60/40 option with 40% paid over three years after handover, and how it treats the Q1 2029 handover against the 15 December 2029 registered completion date. 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
Oqood is the DLD's interim register for off plan sales, and on a project that has not started construction it is the buyer's main registered proof of purchase. Confirm it is issued in your name against project 4500 once the booking payment and the 4% DLD registration fee are settled.
Watch for the first working reading
The first inspection after the scheduled start will show whether enabling works began on time. The RAW District by Imtiaz construction updates hub records each reading as it lands.
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 certainty for runway: nothing is built yet and handover is anticipated in Q1 2029, but the plan spreads most of the price across dated instalments and completion. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 4500, released against RERA-inspected construction progress.
- 20% plus the 4% DLD registration fee and admin fee on booking
- Six 5% instalments dated 15 October 2026 to 1 September 2028 on the 50/50 plan
- 50% due on completion, anticipated in Q1 2029
- Structure already inspected and visible on site
- A shorter wait, with most of the price due within months
- Choice narrowed to the units still unsold

RAW District by Imtiaz Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore RAW District by Imtiaz Location on Dubai Map
RAW District fronts Sheikh Zayed Road and has a direct connection to the adjacent metro, and that frontage will shape how the build opens: after the scheduled 15 October 2026 start, the first works to look for in later readings are enabling and site access packages along the highway edge, none of which had begun at the 09 June 2026 inspection.
Downtown Jebel Ali is a growth district rather than a finished one, with Palm Jebel Ali and Expo City each about 10 minutes away and Al Maktoum International Airport about 25 by the developer's figures, so buyers here are pricing the district's growth alongside the building's own progress toward the Q1 2029 handover.

RAW District by Imtiaz Construction Progress in June 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
The Dubai Land Department project register shows RAW District by Imtiaz, project 4500, at 0% following the RERA inspection of 09 June 2026. The inspection report notes that no construction activities had started at the time of the visit and lists the progress status as N/A. This is the first reading on record, so there is no earlier figure to measure a change against.
Nothing in the June 2026 record points to slippage: a 0% reading on 09 June 2026 is consistent with a construction start that the DLD register schedules for 15 October 2026. The developer anticipates handover in Q1 2029, while the register carries a later registered completion date of 15 December 2029, and either date can be revised between inspection cycles. How schedule changes are followed across the build is covered on the RAW District by Imtiaz construction updates hub.
The RERA inspection took place on 09 June 2026, about four months before the construction start date of 15 October 2026 shown in the DLD register. At that visit the inspector found that no construction activities had started, and the register holds the project at 0%. At this point the figure reflects the pre-start timetable, not a site where work has stopped.
The record shows a RERA inspection on 09 June 2026 and a DLD registration date of 16 June 2026, both as entered in the register. It schedules construction to start on 15 October 2026 and gives a registered completion date of 15 December 2029. The developer's own anticipated handover is Q1 2029.
Not under the developer's published plans. Both Imtiaz payment plans for RAW District set their instalments by calendar date rather than by construction milestone, and each schedules a 5% instalment on 15 October 2026 after the 20% booking payment. Your sale and purchase agreement fixes the dates that apply to your unit, and every instalment is paid into the project's DLD-registered escrow account at First Abu Dhabi Bank P.J.S.C.
The RERA inspection report of 09 June 2026 describes the project as a G+5P+15+Roof residential building and records that no construction activities had started on site. The developer's factsheet places residential towers, a retail and F&B podium and a separate office building within the same district, none of which had been started at the time of that visit.
