The Edge Construction Progress Summary
Between the June 2025 and April 2026 inspections, The Edge moved from 77.02% to 88.86%, an 11.84 point gain concentrated in the exterior envelope and interior fit out of both Business Bay towers.

- Enabling and foundation works across the full plot
- Structural works on both residential towers
- Podium superstructure connecting the two towers
- Facade installation across tower and podium levels
- MEP systems: mechanical, electrical, and plumbing fit out
- Interior finishes across the 1,030 residential units
- External works around the canal facing plot
- Remaining RERA inspection cycles toward 100%
- Building completion certificate procedures
- Handover from the expected completion date of 11 October 2026
Payment Linked Progress
What 88.86% Progress Means for Edge Buyers
Most Dubai off plan payment plans tie installments to construction milestones or to handover itself, so a verified reading of 88.86% is not just a status update: it signals which obligations and protections apply next. At this stage of The Edge, four actions matter most.
Verify the escrow account
Any payment still ahead of handover should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 2611. The Edge escrow account verification is the step before any transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Reread your SPA milestone schedule
Check how your sale and purchase agreement defines completion linked installments and the handover notice period, and map those clauses against the 11 October 2026 completion date. Not sure how your installments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the certified milestones.
Book the snagging window
At 88.86% and inside nine months of expected handover, The Edge is in the standard booking window for a pre handover inspection. The Edge snagging inspection guide covers the booking window before acceptance.
Track the remaining cycles
One or two inspection readings typically remain before completion certification. The Edge construction updates hub keeps the final stretch free of surprises.
General framework, not legal advice: milestone definitions, notice periods, and fee obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 88.86%?
Entering a project this close to completion trades payment-plan runway for certainty: the structure is verified, the delivery window is short, and the remaining choice is between the units still available. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 2611, released against certified construction progress.
- Certified structure: the inspection record above is the risk picture
- Roughly six months to the expected handover date
- 70% of the 30/70 plan due at completion, not spread over years
- Construction risk carried from excavation to handover
- Two to four years of waiting is the usual delivery horizon
- Longer installment runway, priced at launch levels
12 units listed available on the project page as of this update; availability shifts between cycles.
About the Development
The Edge Project Details
With structural works complete across both towers, The Edge is now a finishing stage development of 1,030 contemporary 1 and 2 bedroom apartments on the Business Bay canal front. Starting prices: AED 1.25M ≈ USD 340K.
For buyers entering at this stage, the trade off is shorter waiting time against a later position in the payment plan, with handover expected from 11 October 2026 per the current DLD record.
The Edge by Select Group Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore The Edge Location on Dubai Map
The Edge rises on a canal facing plot in Business Bay, its two towers oriented toward the Downtown Dubai skyline, which shapes how finishing works are sequenced: facade and external packages on the exposed canal frontage are among the most visible items in the current inspection cycle.
Because Business Bay is an established district with completed roads, canal promenade, and utility infrastructure, The Edge is finishing into a functioning neighborhood rather than an emerging one, which matters for buyers weighing immediate occupancy or rental plans against the October 2026 completion target.

The Edge Construction Progress in April 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
As of the RERA inspection conducted on 23 April 2026, The Edge stands at 88.86% construction progress in the DLD project register.
The Edge moved from 77.02% recorded in June 2025 to 88.86% on 23 April 2026, a gain of 11.84 points concentrated in facade installation, MEP fit out, and interior finishes across both Business Bay towers.
The April 2026 record shows no slippage: expected completion remains 11 October 2026 in the DLD register as of this update, with 11.14 percentage points between the 23 April 2026 reading and full certification, roughly six months before the registered date. How inspection cycles and completion certification work is covered on The Edge construction updates hub.
Yes. Expected completion dates in the DLD project register can be revised between inspection cycles. The date shown here reflects the record as of April 2026; any revision would appear in a later update on this cluster.
With structural works complete on both towers as of the 23 April 2026 inspection, site activity centers on facade installation across tower and podium levels, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing fit out, interior finishes across the 1,030 residential units, and external works on the canal facing plot.
Yes, the window is open now. The practical booking window opens once a project passes roughly 70% or comes within nine months of expected handover, and as of the April 2026 reading The Edge meets both conditions, so arranging the inspection ahead of the handover notice avoids compressed timelines later.
