Snagging Snapshot
The Lana Residences Snagging at a Glance
The Lana Residences is OMNIYAT's collection of 39 branded residences managed by Dorchester Collection on the Marasi Bay waterfront in Business Bay, set in a Foster + Partners building shared with the Dorchester Collection hotel. That building is registered with the DLD as Dorchester Collection Dubai (project 2052), and the single registration covers both the hotel and The Lana Residences. At the inspection of 11 January 2024 the register reading moved to 100% with a progress status of Completed, and the collection is now listed as Ready, Limited Collection Available. The buyer's question has therefore changed: not when the tower will finish, but whether your own residence has been finished to the standard you are paying for. An independent snagging inspection answers that before you sign acceptance, while putting defects right is still OMNIYAT's cost.

OMNIYAT
Data as of September 2026, based on the Dubai Land Department project register for project 2052 and construction tracking against RERA inspection data. The latest recorded inspection is dated 11 January 2024, about two years and eight months before this snapshot, and figures are updated after each recorded inspection.
Completed Building
Why Snagging Matters at This Stage of The Lana Residences
The Lana Residences is past its construction stage. The inspection report of 11 January 2024 records the Building Completion Certificate and the Dubai Civil Defence completion as received on 16 October 2023, and the register now reads Finished. The same report noted "BTU meters not done" on that date; the note describes the building in January 2024, not any residence today, yet metering is one of the items worth confirming in person. A building-level reading can never tell you the condition of the one residence you are buying. Developer defect obligations in Dubai are generally measured from completion of the building rather than from the day a buyer moves in, so at a completed tower part of that window may already have run before you receive the keys. That makes an inspection before acceptance more valuable here, not less.
The defects that matter most at The Lana Residences follow its format: bespoke Gilles & Boissier interiors inside a Foster + Partners waterfront building, double-height living areas and duplex staircases, floor-to-ceiling glazing, expansive terraces, penthouses with private swimming pools on the top floors, and residences wired for Crestron home automation and custom AV. Shaping the inspection around the layout you are buying, from a 2 bedroom + study residence to a 5 bedroom penthouse, hands OMNIYAT a far clearer list to act on than a generic checklist would.
Property Snagging GuideThe window that matters: defects listed on a dated, photographed report before you sign acceptance are put right on OMNIYAT's side of the line. Anything found after acceptance moves into the rectification process, where that same report becomes your strongest evidence. With the building already recorded complete there is no construction milestone left to wait for, so arrange the inspection as soon as your residence can be accessed and before any acceptance paperwork is signed. Review the recorded build history any time on The Lana Residences construction updates page.

What We Inspect at The Lana Residences
The inspection is matched to your residence type, from a 2 bedroom + study residence to a 5 bedroom penthouse, then works through the whole unit against a finishing and systems checklist built around what was specified for these residences:

- Duplex staircases: balustrades, treads, fixings, and finish continuity between levels
- Crestron home automation, Sonos audio, and custom AV points commissioned room by room
- Gaggenau appliances, Sub-Zero refrigeration and wine coolers, and Quooker taps in working order

What a Snagging Inspection Costs at The Lana Residences
Snagging is FREE for clients who bought their residence at The Lana Residences through me. For buyers who purchased elsewhere, Dubai has no fixed snagging tariff, so fees vary by firm and rise with the size and complexity of the residence. Every layout here starts at around 3,900 sq ft, so inspections are normally priced per square foot of built-up area, commonly AED 0.50 to 1.50 ≈ USD 0.14 to 0.41 per sq ft, rather than as a flat apartment fee. The indicative ranges below apply that envelope to the published size of each residence type, the two penthouse types are quoted individually, and a sample report is available before you commit.
| Residence Type at The Lana Residences | Approx. Size | Indicative Inspection Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 2 Bedroom + Study Residence | AED 2,000 to 6,000 ≈ USD 545 to 1,635 | 3,900 to 4,000 sq ft |
| 3 Bedroom Residence | AED 2,500 to 7,400 ≈ USD 680 to 2,015 | 4,910 sq ft |
| 4 Bedroom Residence | AED 3,100 to 9,400 ≈ USD 845 to 2,560 | 6,234 sq ft |
| 4 Bedroom Duplex | AED 3,900 to 11,600 ≈ USD 1,060 to 3,160 | 7,711 sq ft |
| 4 Bedroom Penthouse | Quoted individually, on AED 0.50 to 1.50 ≈ USD 0.14 to 0.41 per sq ft | 11,065 sq ft |
| 5 Bedroom Penthouse | Quoted individually, on AED 0.50 to 1.50 ≈ USD 0.14 to 0.41 per sq ft | 9,400 to 17,700 sq ft |
| Reinspection After Rectification | Free to AED 1,500 ≈ USD 410 | Per visit |

Defects We Commonly Find in Branded Waterfront Tower Residences
Large branded residences with double-height volumes, stone and timber finishes, private pools, and dense home technology show a different defect profile at acceptance from a standard apartment:
- Seal gaps, blocked drainage slots, or condensation on tall glazed panels facing the canal
- Terrace falls that send water toward the door threshold rather than the outlet
- Pool tiling, waterproofing, or overflow details that leak or pond on penthouse terraces
- High-level finishes, lighting, and air outlets left incomplete in double-height spaces
- Loose balustrade fixings or uneven treads on duplex staircases
- Lippage, hollow spots, and open grout joints in marble foyers and bathroom stone
- Gaps, scratches, or cupping in oak flooring near glazing and terrace doors
- Appliances, refrigeration, or water systems fitted but not fully commissioned
- Home automation scenes, AV points, and audio zones not programmed or not responding
- Uneven cooling between rooms, especially behind large glazed elevations
- Joinery and door alignment faults in kitchens, dressing rooms, and back-of-house areas
- Sealant shrinkage and slow drainage in marble bathrooms and laundry rooms
Your Recourse
Your Protection After Handover, in Plain Language
Buyers at The Lana Residences keep recourse after they accept a residence. Under Dubai practice, a new home carries a developer rectification period for finishing and installation defects, and a longer warranty applies to major structural elements of the building. At a completed building those periods are generally understood to run from completion of the building, which the inspection report ties to the Building Completion Certificate received on 16 October 2023, rather than from the day you move in, so confirm with OMNIYAT how they apply to your residence. A documented snagging inspection strengthens your position within whatever window remains, because defects raised on a dated, photographed report are easier to pursue than issues recalled later. That matters most for the terraces, the penthouse pools, the glazing, and the integrated systems. If you are unsure how the rectification window applies to your specific residence, that is exactly the kind of question worth settling before handover day rather than after.

The Lana Residences Snagging Inspection Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, snagging is free for clients who bought their residence at The Lana Residences through me: the inspection is arranged and covered as part of the service, and the report is prepared ready for submission to OMNIYAT. Buyers who purchased elsewhere can still have an independent inspection arranged at the market rates shown in the cost section above.
As soon as the residence can be accessed, and always before acceptance is signed. The building reached 100% on the DLD register at the 11 January 2024 inspection and the collection is listed as Ready, so there is no construction stage left to wait for; the inspection belongs ahead of your acceptance appointment, while correcting defects is still OMNIYAT's cost. Timing strategy is covered in the when to book snagging guide.
Free if you bought through me. Otherwise, fees vary by firm and at this size of residence are usually set per square foot, commonly AED 0.50 to 1.50 ≈ USD 0.14 to 0.41 per sq ft. As an indicative guide, a 2 bedroom + study residence of 3,900 to 4,000 sq ft sits around AED 2,000 to 6,000 ≈ USD 545 to 1,635, a 4 bedroom duplex of 7,711 sq ft around AED 3,900 to 11,600 ≈ USD 1,060 to 3,160, and the 4 and 5 bedroom penthouses are quoted individually. Confirm whether VAT and a reinspection are included; the value case is set out in how snagging saves you money.
Yes. The duplexes add staircases, balustrades, and double-height volumes to check, while the penthouses on the top floors add private swimming pools and larger terraces, where waterproofing, pool equipment, and drainage need close attention. The 5 bedroom penthouses range from 9,400 to 17,700 sq ft, so the inspection is planned around the specific floor plan rather than a standard apartment schedule.
No. The inspection report for project 2052 dated 11 January 2024, about two years and eight months before this page was prepared, recorded: "Minor accessories, snagging and deep cleaning works progressing at site." That note described building-wide works on that one date. It does not show that any individual residence was inspected, that any such works are running now, or what condition a given residence is in today, so an independent inspection of your own residence remains the reliable record before acceptance.
Dubai practice provides a developer rectification period for finishing defects and a longer warranty on major structural elements. At a completed building these periods are generally measured from completion of the building, which the inspection report ties to the Building Completion Certificate received on 16 October 2023, rather than from move-in, so it is worth confirming with OMNIYAT what remains for your residence. A dated, photographed snagging report strengthens any request for correction within that window. The full picture is in the defect liability period and structural warranty guide.
The inspection covers air conditioning performance in each zone, water pressure and hot water delivery, drainage, electrical points and the distribution board, and the technology specified for these residences, including Crestron home automation, Sonos audio, and custom AV points. Fitted appliances such as Gaggenau cooking and cleaning appliances, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and Quooker taps are checked for installation and operation, and the metering for the residence is confirmed on site.
Yes. Every defect is recorded with a photograph, its location within the residence, and a recommended action, so the report is ready for submission to OMNIYAT for rectification. A room-by-room reference is available in the snagging checklist.
Yes. An optional reinspection confirms that the listed defects in your residence have been resolved before you finalize acceptance. The building's recorded completion history is set out on The Lana Residences construction updates page.
