Sunset Bay 5 Construction Progress Summary
The DLD register moved Sunset Bay 5 from a previous reading of 32.62% to 44.53% on 5 October 2026, a rise of 11.91 points; the register does not show when that earlier reading was taken, so no monthly pace is drawn from the pair. The RERA progress monitoring report of the same date records enabling, piling and foundation works as completed, with the building's structure at an advanced stage and its progress status shown as Main Contract, Progressing.
- Enabling works on the Island A plot
- Piling across the building footprint
- Foundation works beneath the single residential building
- Structure works, recorded at an advanced stage
- MEP: mechanical, electrical and plumbing works
- Internal works and internal finishes
- External envelope on the building faces
- Structure through the eighth residential floor and roof level
- Rooftop pool deck plus the podium clubhouse and gym
- Furnishing of all 62 apartments, sold fully furnished
- Handover to buyers in Q4 2027
Payments Against Progress
What 44.53% Progress Means for Sunset Bay 5 Buyers
The Sunset Bay 5 plan is date-based: instalments fall on fixed calendar dates rather than on construction readings. At the 5 October 2026 reading, 40% of the price had been called against 44.53% registered progress, and by mid October 2026, with the 15 October instalment due, 50% had fallen due. A further 10% is dated 15 May 2027 and the remaining 40% is due on completion. At this stage, four actions matter most.
Verify the escrow account
Every instalment still ahead should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 3811 at First Abu Dhabi Bank. Sunset Bay 5 escrow account verification comes before any transfer; searching the register name Sunset Bay Five By Imtiaz takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Reread your SPA payment schedule
Check how your sale and purchase agreement dates the 10% instalment of 15 May 2027 and the 40% due on completion, and how it defines the handover notice for Q4 2027. Not sure how your instalments line up against this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the DLD register readings.
Confirm your Oqood registration
Off plan purchases are recorded with the Dubai Land Department under Oqood, the interim register that comes before a title deed. Confirm that your Sunset Bay 5 apartment appears against project 3811 in your name before relying on any payment history.
Track the remaining readings
55.47 points stand between this reading and 100%, and each new figure is posted after a RERA site visit. Sunset Bay 5 construction updates collect every reading in one place as it is posted.
General framework, not legal advice: payment dates, notice periods, and fee obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 44.53%?
Entering Sunset Bay 5 mid-build gives up the earliest launch terms for a building whose foundations are complete and whose structure is at an advanced stage per the RERA report of 5 October 2026. Every instalment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 3811, released against construction progress as RERA inspections record it.
- Piling and foundations completed per the 5 October 2026 RERA report
- Roughly a year to the Q4 2027 handover
- Instalments already due settled at signing, per the developer's current terms; confirm the schedule with the developer
- No foundations yet, so the full build risk lies ahead
- Usually two years or more before keys change hands
- Instalments spread across the whole build at launch pricing

Sunset Bay 5 by Imtiaz Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Sunset Bay 5 Location on Dubai Map
Sunset Bay 5 stands alone on its plot on Island A at Dubai Islands, a compact G+2P+8+R block rather than part of a tower cluster. With the foundations recorded as complete in the 5 October 2026 RERA report, the work in this cycle sat entirely above ground: the remaining structure, the services threaded through it, and the envelope closing in its faces.
Island A is a developing waterfront district reached from Deira by bridge, with Waterfront Market and Al Mamzar Beach Park among the established places marked nearby on the developer's map. At 44.53%, buyers are judging the setting expected around a Q4 2027 handover rather than the streets a site visit shows today. See the project's position on the interactive Dubai real estate map.

Sunset Bay 5 Construction Progress in October 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
Sunset Bay 5 stands at 44.53% in the Dubai Land Department project register, in a reading dated 5 October 2026 under project number 3811. The RERA progress monitoring report of the same date describes the site without printing a percentage, so 44.53% is the register figure, not a number taken from the report.
The inspection record dated 5 October 2026 lists 32.62% as the previous inspection, but the register screen shows no date against that figure. Because the timing of the earlier reading is unknown, this update places it on the progress bar as an undated marker and does not calculate a monthly pace from the two readings.
The report found enabling, piling and foundation works completed and structure works at an advanced stage, with MEP, internal works, the external envelope and internal finishes progressing at the same time. It lists the progress status as Main Contract, Progressing and carries inspection photographs, which are part of the official record and are not reproduced on this page.
The DLD record lists construction as started on 15 June 2025 and the project as registered on 4 July 2025, 19 days later. Both dates are printed here exactly as recorded; neither changes the 44.53% reading of 5 October 2026.
No change appears in the record as of 5 October 2026: the registered completion date in the DLD project register remains 15 October 2027, inside the Q4 2027 handover window. How register readings relate to completion and handover is covered on the Sunset Bay 5 construction updates hub.
No. The hero image is a developer rendering of the planned building and shows no evidence of actual site works. The progress described on this page comes from the DLD register reading and the RERA report dated 5 October 2026, not from the image.
