Construction Snapshot
Sunset Bay 3 at a Glance
Sunset Bay 3 by Imtiaz is a single building of 63 fully furnished residences on Island A at Dubai Islands, entered in the Dubai Land Department register as project 3604 on 18 April 2025, with construction recorded as started on 20 March 2025. The whole build fits one configuration line, G+2P+8+R, so every percentage on this page describes one compact mid-rise block of ground, podium parking, eight residential floors and roof, not a multi-tower development. The register anchors below sit behind that record, with handover scheduled for Q1 2027.

Sunset Bay 3 Construction Update Timeline
So far the Sunset Bay 3 record carries one dated reading: 60.04% in the Dubai Land Department project register on 17 September 2026, shown beside an earlier 38.26% entry that the register lists without a date. The track below places both figures on the line from the March 2025 groundbreaking to handover; only the dated reading earns a table row, and that row links the full September 2026 update.

Pace Analysis
How Fast Sunset Bay 3 Has Been Built
With a single dated reading, the Sunset Bay 3 record supports arithmetic rather than a measured pace between inspections. Two register spans frame it, both on a 30-day month and both arithmetic, not a forecast:
- 20 Mar 2025 to 17 Sep 2026: groundworks through structure, start to 60.04%About 3.30 points per month
- 17 Sep 2026 to 20 Mar 2027: envelope, MEP and finishing, 60.04% to 100%About 6.52 points per month needed
The undated 38.26% entry is why there is no third badge: the 21.78 points between it and 60.04% cannot be spread over a known number of months, so this page does not convert them into a rate. What the register dates do allow is a whole-build average. Across 546 days the building moved through enabling, foundation and structure works, which the RERA report of 17 September 2026 lists as completed, at about 3.30 points per month. The remaining 39.96 points to the registered completion date of 20 March 2027 sit inside a 184-day window, which works out to about 6.52 points per month, close to double the build-so-far average and carried by envelope, MEP, finishes and external works rather than new floors. For an end user planning a Q1 2027 move and an investor timing an exit alike, the next dated reading matters more than either figure here: it will be the first pair of dates on this record that measures how quickly the finishing packages close that gap.

Sunset Bay 3 Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Each stage below is tied to the register dates and the 17 September 2026 RERA report rather than to a generic sequence, so you can see where a G+2P+8+R building that started in March 2025 actually stood when it reached 60.04%.
Site Start and DLD Registration
Construction is recorded as started on 20 March 2025, and the project entered the DLD register as 3604 on 18 April 2025, 29 days later.
Enabling and Foundation Works
Enabling and foundation works beneath the single Island A building, both listed as completed in the RERA progress report of 17 September 2026.
Ground, Podium and Residential Structure
Structure for the ground floor, two podium parking levels, eight residential floors and roof, listed as completed in the 17 September 2026 RERA report; the undated 38.26% entry precedes that report.
Envelope, MEP, Finishes and External Works
The 17 September 2026 RERA report lists five packages open together, internal works, external envelope, internal finishes, external works and MEP, against a register reading of 60.04%, 39.96 points short of 100%.
Completion and Handover
The register carries 20 March 2027 as the registered completion date; handover of the 63 residences is scheduled for Q1 2027, when the 40% completion payment falls due.
What each construction stage involves in general is covered once in the guides on the Dubai Construction Updates hub, so this page stays focused on Sunset Bay 3's own record.

Between 60.04% and Handover: What Sunset Bay 3 Buyers Should Do Now
At 60.04% on 17 September 2026, Sunset Bay 3 runs on a date-based 60/40 plan, so payments keep moving whatever the next reading shows: 50% of the price had fallen due by that inspection, a further 10% is dated 15 October 2026, and the remaining 40% is due on completion. The three checks below belong before that October date, not after the next register entry.
First, confirm that the October instalment and the completion payment go only to the trust account registered for project 3604 with First Abu Dhabi Bank; the Sunset Bay 3 escrow account page shows how to check it against the official record.
Second, follow the register rather than marketing updates: the Sunset Bay 3 construction update for September 2026 sets out the full 17 September 2026 report, and each later reading joins the timeline above as its own dated row.
Third, if you hold or are weighing a 2 or 3 bedroom unit at or above AED 2M, review residency eligibility in the Sunset Bay 3 Golden Visa eligibility guide while the payment schedule is still running, since the qualifying value is confirmed against the title deed or DLD valuation.
Send me your unit number on WhatsApp and I will tell you what the latest inspection means for your handover and map the sequence for your specific unit.

FAQs
Sunset Bay 3 Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
Sunset Bay 3 by Imtiaz, DLD project 3604, was in its envelope, MEP and finishing phase when the Dubai Land Department project register recorded 60.04% on 17 September 2026. The RERA progress report of that date lists enabling, foundation and structure works as completed, with internal works, external envelope, internal finishes, external works and MEP all ongoing. Each phase is mapped to its dates in the stage record above.
The Sunset Bay 3 record holds one dated reading, 60.04% on 17 September 2026, plus an earlier 38.26% entry that the DLD register shows without a date. The dated reading sits 21.78 points above that undated entry, but with no date on the earlier figure the gap cannot be turned into a monthly pace. The dated reading is covered in full in the Sunset Bay 3 September 2026 inspection update.
The DLD register gives Sunset Bay 3 a registered completion date of 20 March 2027, which falls inside the Q1 2027 handover quarter rather than conflicting with it. At the 60.04% reading of 17 September 2026 that registered date was 184 days away and had not lapsed. The register date is the completion anchor filed at registration; the handover date owners receive is set by Imtiaz Developments as final works and approvals close, and this page's record is updated as each new reading is posted.
Sunset Bay 3 by Imtiaz includes 63 residences in one building, the same total the DLD register lists for project 3604: fully furnished 1 and 2 bedroom apartments across the residential floors and a 3 bedroom penthouse layout on the top residential floor. On 17 September 2026 the register recorded that building at 60.04%, with handover scheduled for Q1 2027.
Sunset Bay 3 by Imtiaz has averaged about 3.30 percentage points per month across the 546 days from its 20 March 2025 construction start to the 60.04% reading of 17 September 2026. Reaching 100% by the registered completion date of 20 March 2027 would take about 6.52 points per month over the remaining 184 days. Both figures are arithmetic on a 30-day month, not a forecast; the working is set out in the pace analysis above.
G+2P+8+R is how the RERA progress report of 17 September 2026 describes Sunset Bay 3: a ground floor, two podium parking levels, eight residential floors and a roof level. The developer's floor plans put the clubhouse and gym on the second podium floor and the infinity pool on the roof, and the same report lists the structure works for the building as completed.
