Construction Snapshot
The Highgrove at a Glance
The Highgrove is Ellington's 291-residence tower in Meydan Horizon, entered on the Dubai Land Department register as project 4037 with the building description G + 4P + 31F + R + UR. The register dates its construction start to 1 September 2025 and its registration to 12 September 2025, and the reading recorded on 6 August 2026 stood at 7%, roughly eleven months after that start. With enabling, piling and foundation works as the recorded activity on that date, all four podium levels and all 31 residential floors were still to rise, so the anchors below describe a record in its opening chapter rather than a visible frame.

Inspection Record
The Highgrove Construction Update Timeline
The Highgrove's record holds one dated reading so far: 7% on the DLD register, recorded on 6 August 2026, when the RERA report listed enabling, piling and foundation works as progressing. The register also shows a previous inspection at 4.31% but gives no date for it, so that figure sits on the track below as an undated dot rather than a table row, and the 2.69 points between the two readings cannot be spread over any period. Each new dated reading adds a row here, with a link to its own monthly update.

Pace Analysis
How Fast The Highgrove Has Been Built
With one dated reading and one undated earlier figure, The Highgrove's record supports a single whole-build average from the registered start, not a measured velocity between two inspections:
- Sep 2025 to Aug 2026: enabling, piling and foundation works, from the 1 September 2025 start to 7% on 6 August 2026 (arithmetic, not a forecast)About 0.62 points per month
- Undated previous reading of 4.31% to 7% on 6 August 2026: the register shows no date for the earlier figureNo measured pace yet
Read as a curve, The Highgrove's record is so far a single point above its start: 7 points across 339 days of groundworks. That average reflects where the work sat on 6 August 2026, at and below ground level, where enabling, piling and foundation activity builds up the register's percentage gradually; the four podium levels and 31 residential floors of this G + 4P + 31F + R + UR tower had not yet begun to add to it. The shape becomes readable only when a second dated reading posts and the first measured velocity can be set against this opening average. For an end user planning around the Q4 2028 expected handover, the sensible step meanwhile is to confirm the current construction timetable with the developer in writing; for an investor, the next dated pair is the first real evidence of the rate this tower is being built at.

The Highgrove Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Only the first two stages below carry dates in The Highgrove's record; the other three are mapped to the parts of the G + 4P + 31F + R + UR description that the register had not reached by its 7% entry on 6 August 2026, so each new inspection can be placed against them as it posts.
Construction Start and Registration
The register records construction starting on 1 September 2025 and project 4037 registered on 12 September 2025, both shown as recorded.
Enabling, Piling and Foundations
Enabling, piling and foundation works were the recorded activity at the 6 August 2026 RERA visit, with the register at 7% and an undated previous figure of 4.31%.
Ground Floor and Four Podium Levels
The G and 4P of the register description: the lobby level and the four podium levels that carry the cinema and clubhouse access in the developer's plans.
31 Residential Floors, Roof and Upper Roof
The 31F, R and UR of the description, including the 19th and 20th floor wellness level and the 34th and 35th floor sky dining in the developer's plans.
Finishing, Commissioning and Handover
Apartment finishing and building systems before handover, expected in Q4 2028; the register lists a registered completion date of 31-12-2028.
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 The Highgrove's own record.

Between 7% and Handover: What The Highgrove Buyers Should Do Now
At 7% on the register, recorded on 6 August 2026, almost the whole of The Highgrove's tower is still to be built, which makes this the stretch where buyers protect their payments and their plans rather than prepare for keys. Reservation-date instalments at 60, 120, 240 and 360 days run on each buyer's own calendar whatever the register shows, so the three steps below belong before the next one falls due.
First, before any transfer, check that each reservation-date instalment is paid into the escrow account registered with the DLD for project 4037 at First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB); The Highgrove escrow account page shows how to verify that account against the official record.
Second, if residency is part of the purchase, settle the eligibility question early through The Highgrove Golden Visa eligibility guide, because the unit type you choose decides whether its starting price reaches the threshold.
Third, follow the register rather than the skyline: the first construction-linked instalment falls due at 20% construction, so each new dated reading added to this page matters more than any change visible from the road, and The Highgrove August 2026 inspection record shows how the current figure was read.

FAQs
The Highgrove Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
The Highgrove is an active project on the DLD register (project 4037), with its main contract recorded as progressing and a register reading of 7% recorded on 6 August 2026, when the RERA report found enabling, piling and foundation works under way. Readings posted after that date are added to the inspection timeline above.
Progress at The Highgrove is tracked on the DLD project register for project 4037, where each RERA inspection posts a percentage, read alongside the RERA Independent Progress Monitoring Report for the same visit. The report for 6 August 2026 prints no percentage of its own, so the 7% shown here is the register's figure for that date; the register's earlier 4.31% carries no date and appears on the track as a dot only.
At the 6 August 2026 reading, the DLD register carries a registered completion date of 31-12-2028 for The Highgrove, which sits inside Q4 2028, the quarter in which handover is expected. A registered completion date is an entry on the project record that can be amended as the build moves on, and the register stood at 7% on that date, so buyers should confirm the current construction timetable with the developer in writing.
The Highgrove has 291 residences in one tower that the DLD register describes as G + 4P + 31F + R + UR: a ground floor, four podium levels, 31 residential floors, a roof and an upper roof. Unit types, sizes and starting prices are set out in The Highgrove project guide.
Across the 339 days from the 1 September 2025 construction start to the 6 August 2026 reading of 7%, The Highgrove averaged about 0.62 points per month on 30-day months; that figure is arithmetic, not a forecast. The earlier 4.31% reading has no date, so no pace between two inspections can be measured yet, and the pace analysis above shows the working.
The DLD register records construction at The Highgrove as starting on 1 September 2025 and the project as registered on 12 September 2025; both dates are shown here exactly as recorded. The first dated reading in the record, 7% on 6 August 2026, is covered in The Highgrove August 2026 construction update.
