Construction Snapshot
Sunset Bay 5 at a Glance
Sunset Bay 5 by Imtiaz is one G+2P+8+R residential building holding 62 residences on Island A at Dubai Islands, entered in the Dubai Land Department register as project 3811. The register gives a construction start of 15 June 2025, a registration date of 4 July 2025 and a registered completion date of 15 October 2027. Between those anchors the record so far holds just two readings: 44.53% dated 5 October 2026, and an earlier 32.62% that the register shows without a date. That short, partly undated history is the baseline every later Sunset Bay 5 reading on this page will be measured against.

Inspection Record
Sunset Bay 5 Construction Update Timeline
The Sunset Bay 5 record opens with a pair of register readings, and only one of them is dated. The 44.53% of 5 October 2026 is the single row in the table below and links its full October 2026 update. The previous reading of 32.62% sits on the track as an undated marker, because the register prints it without a date; the two figures are 11.91 points apart, but without the earlier date that gap cannot be turned into a monthly rate. From the next dated reading onward, each one adds a dot to the track and a row to the table.

Pace Analysis
How Fast Sunset Bay 5 Has Been Built
With only one dated reading, Sunset Bay 5 has no inspection-to-inspection pace to measure yet. The register's own anchors still support two figures, set out below as arithmetic, not a forecast:
- 15 Jun 2025 to 5 Oct 2026: whole-build average since the registered start, 0% to 44.53% over 477 daysAbout 2.80 points per month
- 5 Oct 2026 to 15 Oct 2027: average needed from 44.53% to 100% by the registered completion date, 375 daysAbout 4.44 points per month
The two numbers describe different stretches of the same building. The 2.80 average covers about sixteen months that took the plot from enabling works through piling and foundations to a structure the RERA report of 5 October 2026 places at an advanced stage. The 4.44 figure is what the remaining 55.47 points would need to average across the 375 days to 15 October 2027, a faster rate than the record shows so far. That difference is arithmetic, not a verdict: the same report already has MEP, internal works, the external envelope and internal finishes progressing alongside the frame, and handover remains scheduled for Q4 2027. For an end user, the figure to watch is the next dated reading, which gives Sunset Bay 5 its first measured pace; for an investor, it is whether the readings that follow track toward the 4.44 line.

Sunset Bay 5 Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Each stage below is tied to what the Sunset Bay 5 record actually shows, from the 15 June 2025 start to the RERA report and 44.53% register reading of 5 October 2026, rather than to a generic building sequence.
Enabling Works on the Island A Plot
Site set-up and enabling works from the registered 15 June 2025 start, listed as completed in the RERA report of 5 October 2026.
Piling and Foundations
Piling and foundation works beneath the single building, both recorded as completed by the 5 October 2026 report; the register does not date when each finished.
Podium and Residential Frame
Structure works for the ground, two podium parking levels, eight residential floors and roof, at an advanced stage per the RERA report of 5 October 2026.
MEP, Envelope and Internal Works
Already progressing alongside the frame in the same 5 October 2026 report: MEP services, internal works, the external envelope and internal finishes.
Furnishing, Rooftop and Delivery
Furnishing all 62 apartments, completing the rooftop pool deck and podium clubhouse, and final works ahead of the registered completion date of 15 October 2027.
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 5's own record.

Between 44.53% and Handover: What Sunset Bay 5 Buyers Should Do Now
Payments at Sunset Bay 5 follow fixed dates in the 60/40 schedule, so no percentage on this page triggers an instalment by itself. When the register posted 44.53% on 5 October 2026, four instalments totalling 40% of the price had fallen due, and the 15 October 2026 instalment took that total to 50% ten days later. What remains is 10% dated 15 May 2027 and 40% on completion, so the useful window for the checks below is the months before May 2027, not the week a payment notice arrives.
First, before the 15 May 2027 transfer, confirm that the receiving account is the DLD-registered trust account for project 3811 at First Abu Dhabi Bank; the Sunset Bay 5 escrow account guide shows how to check it against the official record.
Second, if residency is part of your plan, read the Sunset Bay 5 Golden Visa eligibility guide now, while the building is still off plan; all three apartment types start above the AED 2M threshold at current prices.
Third, keep the product itself in view as the record moves: the Sunset Bay 5 by Imtiaz project guide holds the layouts, the furnishing specification and the full 60/40 schedule your remaining payments follow.
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 5 Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
Sunset Bay 5 by Imtiaz is an active DLD-registered project (number 3811) at 44.53% in the register as of 5 October 2026, roughly sixteen months after its 15 June 2025 start and with handover scheduled for Q4 2027. The RERA report of the same date places the structure at an advanced stage. Every reading is laid out in the inspection timeline above.
Progress at Sunset Bay 5 is recorded as a percentage in the Dubai Land Department project register for project 3811, posted after RERA site inspections; the latest figure is 44.53% as of 5 October 2026. The RERA progress monitoring report of that date lists the works under way but carries no percentage figure, and the register's earlier 32.62% reading carries no date, so this page dates and charts only the 5 October 2026 figure.
The DLD register lists 15 October 2027 as the registered completion date for Sunset Bay 5, and that date falls inside the Q4 2027 handover quarter, so the two do not conflict. The registered date is the completion anchor held in the DLD register for project 3811, separate from the developer's handover schedule; it had not passed when the 44.53% reading of 5 October 2026 was posted, and this page's record is updated as later readings appear.
Sunset Bay 5 has 62 residences in one building configured as G+2P+8+R: a ground floor, two podium parking levels, eight residential floors and a roof level. At the 44.53% register reading of 5 October 2026, structure works on that frame were at an advanced stage; the Sunset Bay 5 apartment layouts are set out on the project page.
Sunset Bay 5 has averaged about 2.80 percentage points per month since its 15 June 2025 start, reaching 44.53% on 5 October 2026 after 477 days (arithmetic on a 30-day month, not a forecast). No measured pace between inspections exists yet, because the previous register reading of 32.62% is undated; the full working is in the pace analysis above.
From 44.53% on 5 October 2026, Sunset Bay 5 has 55.47 points left, which works out to about 4.44 points per month over the 375 days to its registered completion date of 15 October 2027. That figure is arithmetic, not a forecast or a delay signal: later phases run services, envelope and finishes side by side, and handover remains scheduled for Q4 2027.
