Verified DLD Inspection Data
Solaya by Meraas Construction Snapshot
A 0% DLD register reading dated 8 June 2026 sets the baseline for Solaya 5 and Solaya 7 at the very start of the enabling and foundations stage, where the questions that matter are registration and where each payment goes, not site progress. The register's previous inspection field also shows 0% without a date, so no movement can be measured from this first reading.

This Inspection Cycle
Solaya by Meraas Construction Progress Summary
The DLD register gives 31 March 2026 as the construction start for Solaya (5,7), yet the RERA inspection 69 days later, on 8 June 2026, found that no construction activities had started and that demolition works were ongoing. Both entries stand on the record as written: a registered date and an observed site condition, reported side by side with no delay read into either.
- Project registered on the DLD record on 28 November 2025
- Construction start entered in the register as 31 March 2026
- Trust account bank on record: Commercial Bank of Dubai (PSC)
- Demolition works, recorded as ongoing on 8 June 2026
- No construction activities started on either building at inspection
- RERA Progress Status listed as N/A on the inspection report
- Construction of Solaya 5 (B+G+R+7) and Solaya 7 (B+G+R+8)
- Every RERA inspection cycle from the 0% baseline to 100%
- Handover estimated for Q2 2029, with 30 September 2029 as the registered completion date
Payment Linked Progress
What 0% Progress Means for Solaya by Meraas Buyers
Payment obligations at Solaya 5 and Solaya 7 follow the dates Meraas published, not construction percentages, which makes the 0% reading of 8 June 2026 a check on where each payment goes rather than a trigger for when it falls due. At this stage of Solaya by Meraas, four actions matter most.
Verify the escrow account
Every instalment paid ahead of handover should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 4123. Solaya by Meraas 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 payment schedule
Check whether your sale and purchase agreement follows the published dates, 20% on booking, four 10% instalments to January 2028 and 40% on handover, or a schedule set at reservation, and how it defines handover against the Q2 2029 estimate. Not sure how your instalments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the DLD inspection record.
Confirm your Oqood registration
With construction not yet started at the June 2026 inspection, your paperwork is the asset you hold: confirm that your Solaya residence sits on the interim Oqood register under DLD project 4123, and that the SPA, receipts and registration all name the same unit and building.
Watch for the first movement
The next dated reading will be the first that can show construction activity on Solaya 5 or Solaya 7 against this 0% baseline. The Solaya by Meraas construction updates series records each reading as it is published.
General framework, not legal advice: payment dates, registration steps, and fee obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at the 0% Baseline?
Entering before construction starts trades certainty for runway: the whole build is still ahead of you, and so is most of the payment schedule. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 4123, released against verified construction progress.
- June 2026 inspection: demolition ongoing, no construction activities yet
- Handover estimated for Q2 2029, the full build still ahead
- 60/40 plan: 60% before handover, 40% on handover
- Structure already standing in the inspection record
- Months rather than years to the handover date
- Shorter payment runway, with more of the price due sooner

About the Development
Solaya by Meraas Project Details
With demolition still ongoing and no construction recorded at the 8 June 2026 inspection, Solaya by Meraas is a pre-construction release of 55 residences in two low-rise beachfront buildings, spanning 2 to 5 bedroom apartments and 5 bedroom penthouses. Starting prices: AED 15.40M ≈ USD 4.19M.
For buyers entering at this stage, the trade off is the longest wait in the cycle in exchange for having most of the dated 60/40 schedule still ahead, with handover estimated for Q2 2029.
Solaya by Meraas Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Solaya by Meraas Location on Dubai Map
Meraas places Solaya 5 and Solaya 7 in the beach-facing row of its collection on the Jumeirah coastline at Port De La Mer, beside J1 Beach. In June 2026 that frontage was still a demolition site: the RERA inspection of 8 June 2026 recorded demolition works ongoing and no construction activities started on either building.
Jumeirah 1 is an established coastal district rather than an emerging one: J1 Beach and its thirteen restaurants and beach clubs sit next door, and Meraas puts Downtown Dubai about 15 minutes and Dubai International Airport about 20 minutes away by car. For buyers at a 0% reading, the setting can be judged today while the buildings can only be judged reading by reading. See the project's position on the interactive Dubai real estate map.

Solaya by Meraas Construction Progress in June 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
As of the RERA inspection dated 8 June 2026, Solaya by Meraas, registered as Solaya (5,7) under DLD project 4123, shows 0% in the DLD project register. The register's previous inspection field also reads 0% but carries no date, so June 2026 is the first dated reading on record and no change can be measured from it yet.
Yes, as of this update. Handover is estimated for Q2 2029, and the registered completion date on the DLD record at the time of the 8 June 2026 reading is 30 September 2029, one quarter later. Either date can be revised between inspection cycles, and a single 0% baseline does not on its own indicate whether either will move; how readings and revisions are followed over time is set out on the Solaya by Meraas construction updates hub.
The inspection notes of 8 June 2026 state that no construction activities had been started and that demolition works were ongoing. The same report describes the project as two residential buildings, Solaya 5 at B+G+R+7 and Solaya 7 at B+G+R+8, and its RERA Progress Status field reads N/A.
The DLD register lists 31 March 2026 as the construction start for project 4123, while the site inspection 69 days later, on 8 June 2026, recorded demolition works ongoing and no construction activities yet. One entry is a registered date and the other an observed site condition; the record gives no reason for the difference, so it is reported here as recorded, without reading a delay into either entry.
No. The plan Meraas published for Solaya 5 and Solaya 7 dates every step instead of linking it to construction progress: 20% on booking dated January 2026, 10% instalments dated July 2026, January 2027, July 2027 and January 2028, and 40% on handover dated June 2029. The 0% reading of 8 June 2026 therefore has no effect on that schedule of record, and each buyer's own SPA sets the dates that actually apply.
No date for the next inspection is on the record as of this update. The next reading appears in the DLD project register after the next RERA site visit, and it will be the first figure that can be compared with the 0% baseline of 8 June 2026, including whether construction activities have begun on either building.
