DLD Register Data
Sunset Bay Grand Construction Snapshot
A 5.97 point rise since the previous register reading keeps Sunset Bay Grand inside the enabling and foundations band, where escrow checks, Oqood registration and the dated payment schedule weigh more heavily than the percentage itself.

Data source: the DLD project register reading of 16.29% for project 3868, dated 17 August 2026, and the RERA Independent Progress Monitoring Report for the inspection of the same date, which records the site notes and the progress status but prints no percentage. Construction tracking against RERA inspection data runs across the full tohidfetrat.com project portfolio and is reviewed after every published cycle.

Sunset Bay Grand Construction Progress Summary
Sunset Bay Grand moved from 10.32% at the previous register reading to 16.29% on 17 August 2026, a gain of 5.97 points. The register shows no date for the earlier figure, so this page draws no monthly pace from the pair. The RERA report of 17 August 2026 lists enabling, piling and foundation works as completed and structure works as progressing, under a progress status of "Main Contract - Progressing".
- DLD project registration on 30 September 2025 and construction start on 15 October 2025
- Enabling works on the site
- Piling and foundation works for the residential building
- Structure works on the G+2P+10+Roof residential building
- Site mobilization, noted as ongoing in the 17 August 2026 report
- Main contract works, status recorded as progressing
- The rest of the structure through the podium, 10 residential floors and roof level
- Envelope, MEP and fit out of the 98 fully furnished residences
- The amenity deck and rooftop sky pool, then handover expected in Q4 2027
Payment Linked Progress
What 16.29% Progress Means for Sunset Bay Grand Buyers
The Sunset Bay Grand payment plan runs on calendar dates, not on construction stages: 60% is spread across a 20% booking payment and six dated instalments, and 40% falls due on completion in December 2027. By the 17 August 2026 reading the schedule had called 30%, and 40% by 15 September 2026, against a 16.29% register reading. That is arithmetic, not a delay signal, but it means buyers are paying ahead of the structure, so four checks matter most at this stage.
Verify the escrow account
Every instalment should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 3868 with First Abu Dhabi Bank. Sunset Bay Grand escrow account verification is the step before any payment; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Reread your SPA payment schedule
The next dated instalment is 10% on 15 December 2026, and anyone booking now pays the 20% down payment plus the instalments already fallen due, subject to the developer's current terms. Not sure how your instalments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Confirm your Oqood registration
Oqood is the DLD registration of an off plan purchase, paid for through the 4% DLD registration fee at booking. Check that your Oqood record names project 3868 and your exact unit before the next instalment leaves your account.
Track the next register reading
With 83.71 points still to go, each new reading shows whether the structure is catching up with the dated schedule. The Sunset Bay Grand construction updates hub records every reading as it lands.
General framework, not legal advice: instalment dates, completion definitions, delay clauses and fee obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 16.29%?
Entering while the structure is still rising trades certainty for runway: the foundations are recorded as complete, more than a year remains before the Q4 2027 handover, and the largest single payment waits for completion. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 3868, released against construction progress recorded by RERA inspections.
- Enabling, piling and foundation works recorded complete on 17 August 2026
- Handover expected in Q4 2027, with time to plan the completion payment
- 40% of the 60/40 plan due on completion in December 2027
- More of the building visible before committing
- A shorter wait between booking and handover
- Less payment runway, with larger sums falling due sooner

About the Development
Sunset Bay Grand Project Details
With foundations recorded complete and the frame now rising, Sunset Bay Grand is an early stage build of 98 fully furnished one, two and three bedroom residences in a single ground, two podium, 10 floor and roof building. Starting prices: AED 2.19M ≈ USD 596K.
For buyers entering at this stage, the trade off is a longer wait against the widest choice of units and more time before the 40% completion payment, with handover expected in Q4 2027.
Sunset Bay Grand by Imtiaz Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Sunset Bay Grand Location on Dubai Map
Sunset Bay Grand occupies a single building plot on Island A at Dubai Islands, planned by the developer around a coastal orientation for daylight and open views. At 16.29% the work that shapes this cycle sits low on the site: piling and foundations are recorded complete, and the structure now has to carry the ground and two podium levels up to 10 residential floors and the roof.
Dubai Islands is a young master community still taking shape, so the building is rising alongside the district rather than into a settled neighborhood; Al Mamzar Beach Park and the Waterfront Market lie on the Deira side nearby, and the developer puts Downtown Dubai and DIFC about 15 minutes away by car.

Sunset Bay Grand Construction Progress in August 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
As of the RERA inspection of 17 August 2026, Sunset Bay Grand (DLD project 3868) stands at 16.29% in the DLD project register, up 5.97 points from the previous register reading of 10.32%. The RERA inspection report for that date prints no percentage of its own; it records the progress status as "Main Contract - Progressing".
The expected handover remains Q4 2027 as of this August 2026 update, and the payment plan still places the 40% completion payment in December 2027. A single reading of 16.29% does not settle the handover date either way: completion dates can be revised between inspection cycles, so the completion and delay clauses in your SPA remain the binding reference. How the construction timeline is tracked is covered on the Sunset Bay Grand construction updates hub.
It confirms direction, not speed. The DLD register shows 10.32% as the previous inspection reading but gives no date for it, so the 5.97 point gain to 16.29% on 17 August 2026 cannot be turned into a monthly rate. The only dated measure is the whole-build average: 16.29 points over the 306 days since construction started on 15 October 2025, about 1.6 points per 30-day month, which is arithmetic, not a forecast.
The RERA inspection report of 17 August 2026 notes that enabling, piling and foundation works were completed and structure works were progressing, with mobilization still ongoing, on a building described as G+2P+10+Roof. The report does not state how many floors have been built, so this page makes no claim about the level the structure has reached.
The plan is dated rather than linked to construction stages. By 17 August 2026 it had called 30% (the 20% booking payment plus 5% on 15 February 2026 and 5% on 15 May 2026), and 40% by 15 September 2026, against a 16.29% register reading. That gap is arithmetic, not evidence of delay: it means payments run ahead of the structure at this stage, all into the project's DLD-registered escrow account with First Abu Dhabi Bank.
As of this update, 17 August 2026 is the latest reading for DLD project 3868, and no date for the next one has been published. A new figure appears in the DLD project register after the next RERA site visit, and each reading is added to the Sunset Bay Grand construction updates hub once it lands.
