Sunset Bay 3 Construction Progress Summary
The RERA progress report dated 17 September 2026 lists enabling, foundation and structure works at Sunset Bay 3 as completed and gives the main contract status as progressing, with five work packages open at the same time. Measured from the earlier 38.26% entry, which carries no date, the climb to 60.04% belongs to the phase in which a G+2P+8+R building is enclosed, serviced and fitted out rather than raised.
- Enabling works, recorded complete in the 17 September 2026 RERA report
- Foundation works beneath the single residential building
- Structure works for the ground level, two podium parking levels, eight residential floors and roof
- Internal works across the residential floors
- External envelope on all building faces
- Internal finishes for the 63 residences
- External works around the building at ground and podium level
- MEP: mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems
- Further DLD register readings between 60.04% and 100%
- Completion paperwork, the handover notice and the 40% completion payment
- Handover of the 63 residences, scheduled for Q1 2027
Payment Linked Progress
What 60.04% Progress Means for Sunset Bay 3 Buyers
Sunset Bay 3 runs on a date-based 60/40 plan rather than a milestone-linked one, so the 60.04% reading does not trigger an instalment by itself: it shows how far the building has come against what has already been called. At the 17 September 2026 reading, 50% of the price had fallen due against 60.04% of registered progress, a further 10% is dated 15 October 2026, and the remaining 40% is due on completion. At this stage, four actions matter most.
Verify the escrow account
The 10% instalment dated 15 October 2026 and the 40% due on completion should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 3604 with First Abu Dhabi Bank. Sunset Bay 3 escrow account verification is the step before any transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record, where the project is listed as Sunset Bay Three By Imtiaz.
Reread your SPA payment schedule
Your sale and purchase agreement sets the dated instalments, the completion payment and how the handover notice for the Q1 2027 handover is served, so check those clauses against the dates on your own schedule. 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
With handover scheduled for Q1 2027, inside nine months of this 17 September 2026 reading, Sunset Bay 3 has entered the period in which a pre handover inspection is worth arranging before the notice arrives. Sunset Bay 3 snagging inspection guide covers what to check in a furnished residence before acceptance.
Track the remaining readings
39.96 points remain between this reading and 100%, and each new register entry shows whether the envelope, finishes and MEP packages are closing that gap. Sunset Bay 3 construction updates hub keeps every dated reading in one record.
General framework, not legal advice: instalment dates, notice periods, and fee obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 60.04%?
Entering at 60.04% means buying into a building whose structure the RERA report of 17 September 2026 records as complete, with half of the payment plan already called by that date and the finishing packages still open. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 3604, released against construction progress recorded in the DLD register.
- Structure works recorded complete in the 17 September 2026 RERA report
- Handover scheduled for Q1 2027, months rather than years away
- Instalments already due settled at signing per the developer's current terms, 40% on completion
- Every construction stage still ahead, from site works to handover
- A delivery horizon usually measured in years rather than months
- A longer instalment runway at launch pricing

Sunset Bay 3 by Imtiaz Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Sunset Bay 3 Location on Dubai Map
Sunset Bay 3 stands as a single mid rise building in the residential grid of Island A, which the developer's brochure places steps from both the beach and the park. With the structure recorded complete, the work most visible from the street in this cycle is the external envelope on the building faces and the external works at ground and podium level, while MEP and internal finishes advance behind them.
Island A is still taking shape around the site: the Dubai Islands plan of beaches, marinas, parks and hotels is being delivered in stages, so buyers planning to live in or let a residence from the Q1 2027 handover should check which nearby amenities will be open by then, while the developer's fact sheet already puts Infinity Bridge about five minutes away.

Sunset Bay 3 Construction Progress in September 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
As of 17 September 2026, the Dubai Land Department project register records Sunset Bay 3 by Imtiaz, project 3604 (listed in the register as Sunset Bay Three By Imtiaz), at 60.04% construction progress. The RERA progress report of the same date gives the main contract status as progressing, and the register keeps the project status as Active.
The register shows a previous inspection reading of 38.26% beside the 60.04% recorded on 17 September 2026, but it prints no date for that earlier reading. Without a date the movement between the two figures cannot be turned into a monthly pace, so 38.26% is best read as the last earlier entry on record rather than a figure from a known month.
The Independent Progress Monitoring Report dated 17 September 2026 lists enabling, foundation and structure works as completed and records internal works, external envelope, internal finishes, external works and MEP as ongoing. It describes the building as G+2P+8+R, names First Abu Dhabi Bank as the trust account bank, and carries inspection photographs; it prints no percentage of its own, which is why the 60.04% figure is quoted from the DLD register.
As of the 17 September 2026 reading, the DLD register still shows 20 March 2027 as the registered completion date, which falls inside the Q1 2027 handover window, and the RERA report of that date records no revised schedule. The register does not grade a project as early or late, so the clearest signal will be how far the next reading moves. How readings, completion dates and handover connect across the whole build is set out on the Sunset Bay 3 construction updates hub.
The DLD record lists construction as started on 20 March 2025 and the project as registered on 18 April 2025, 29 days later. Both dates are shown here exactly as recorded; buyers who want to confirm them can check the same fields on the official project record under the register name Sunset Bay Three By Imtiaz.
No. It is a developer rendering of the planned building shown from two viewpoints, used to illustrate this update, and it does not show the site as inspected on 17 September 2026. The RERA report holds its own inspection photographs, which are record documents and are not reproduced on this page.
