Sunset Bay by Imtiaz Construction Progress Summary
On 4 August 2026 the RERA report recorded enabling, piling, foundation and structure works as completed on the G+2P+8+R building, while internal works, the external envelope, MEP and internal finishes were still progressing, with the report's progress status reading Main Contract, Progressing. The distance left to handover now sits in the envelope, services and finishes of the 66 residences rather than in the building's frame.
- Enabling works on the Island A plot
- Piling and foundation works
- Structure works across the ground, both podium levels, all eight residential floors and the roof
- Internal works inside the building
- External envelope works
- MEP systems: mechanical, electrical and plumbing
- Internal finishes across the 66 residences
- Further DLD register readings toward 100%
- The developer's completion notice and the 40% completion payment
- Handover expected in Q4 2026, against a registered completion date of 25 December 2026
Payments and Progress
What 78.04% Progress Means for Sunset Bay Buyers
Sunset Bay's 60/40 plan runs on calendar dates rather than construction milestones: by the 4 August 2026 reading every dated instalment, 60% of the price, had fallen due against 78.04% registered progress, leaving 40% payable on completion. At this stage of Sunset Bay, four actions matter most.
Verify the escrow account
The 40% due on completion should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account for project 3460 at First Abu Dhabi Bank, listed in the register as Sunset Bay One By Imtiaz. Sunset Bay by Imtiaz escrow account verification is the step before that transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Reread your SPA completion clauses
Check how your sale and purchase agreement defines completion, the handover notice period and the trigger for the 40% payment, then map those clauses against the Q4 2026 handover and the 25 December 2026 registered completion date. Not sure how your remaining payment maps to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the register milestones.
Book the snagging window
At 78.04%, and with Q4 2026 set for handover, Sunset Bay sits inside the usual booking window for a pre handover inspection, and fully furnished units add the custom furniture to the checklist. Sunset Bay by Imtiaz snagging inspection guide covers the timing before acceptance.
Track the remaining readings
21.96 points remained after the August 2026 reading, so each new register figure shows how quickly the finishing works are closing. Sunset Bay by Imtiaz construction updates hub logs every reading as it posts.
General framework, not legal advice: completion definitions, notice periods, and payment obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 78.04%?
Entering Sunset Bay this late trades the instalment runway for visibility: the structure is recorded complete, the handover window is short, and because the plan is date-based the instalments already due are settled at signing, per the developer's current terms. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 3460, released against verified construction progress.
- Structure works recorded complete in the 4 August 2026 RERA report
- Handover expected in Q4 2026, months rather than years away
- Dated instalments settled at signing; 40% due on completion
- Construction risk carried from the first excavation to handover
- A multi-year wait is the usual off plan delivery horizon
- Instalments spread across the build, priced at launch levels
Limited units available per the project page as of this update; availability shifts between cycles.
About the Development
Sunset Bay by Imtiaz Project Details

Sunset Bay by Imtiaz Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Sunset Bay Location on Dubai Map
Sunset Bay is a single compact building on Island A, about a 5 minute walk from the beach according to the developer's brochure, and its low G+2P+8+R profile shapes this cycle's works: with eight residential floors over two podium levels, the envelope, MEP and finishing packages recorded as progressing on 4 August 2026 are spread across a short building rather than stacked up a tall tower core.
Island A is still being built out around the project, so Sunset Bay is finishing into a growing waterfront district rather than a settled one; Infinity Bridge, about 5 minutes away by car per the developer's fact sheet, already ties the island to Deira and the airport side of the city. For buyers planning to occupy or let from Q4 2026, how much of the wider Dubai Islands master development is open at handover matters as much as the building itself.

Sunset Bay by Imtiaz Construction Progress in August 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
As of the inspection dated 4 August 2026, the Dubai Land Department project register shows Sunset Bay by Imtiaz, project 3460, at 78.04% construction progress with a project status of Active. The RERA report for the same date prints no percentage of its own, so 78.04% is the register's reading rather than a figure from the report.
The register's inspection card dated 4 August 2026 lists 64.43% as the previous inspection and 78.04% as current progress. The register gives no date for the 64.43% reading, so the gap between the two shows direction only and cannot be converted into a monthly pace for Sunset Bay.
No change appears in the August 2026 record: the developer's expected handover remains Q4 2026, and the register still lists 25 December 2026 as the registered completion date, 143 days after the 4 August 2026 inspection. Registered dates can be revised between cycles and any revision would show in a later reading; how readings and completion dates relate is covered on the Sunset Bay by Imtiaz construction updates hub.
The Independent Progress Monitoring Report for 4 August 2026 describes a G+2P+8+R residential building with a concrete structure and blockwork, and records enabling, piling, foundation and structure works as completed. Internal works, the external envelope, MEP and internal finishes were progressing, and the report's progress status reads Main Contract, Progressing. The report also carries inspection photographs as part of the official record.
As of the August 2026 record, the register shows construction started on 25 December 2024 and the project registered on 17 January 2025, 23 days later. Both dates are reproduced here exactly as recorded, and the 78.04% reading of 4 August 2026 came 587 days after the recorded start.
No. The hero image is a developer rendering of the planned rooftop pool, landscaped amenity deck and leisure areas, used to illustrate this update; it does not show the building as it stood on 4 August 2026. The RERA report for that date carries its own inspection photographs, which stay with the official record.
