The Mural Construction Progress Summary
The 07 May 2026 reading of 8.2% sits 1.77 points above the 6.43% previously recorded, and every certified point so far belongs to work below ground: enabling, piling, and foundations on plot 530. The register attaches no date to that earlier figure, so the gain is best read as the pace of substructure formation rather than as a monthly rate.

Payment Linked Progress
What 8.2% Progress Means for The Mural Buyers
At this depth in the build, almost the entire purchase price is still ahead of you, and the certified record is what stands between your installments and an unbuilt tower. Four actions carry the most weight at The Mural right now.
Verify the escrow account
Every payment ahead of handover belongs in the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 3650, held with Commercial Bank of Dubai. Anything you release while the tower is still below ground belongs there, and The Mural escrow account verification shows how to confirm it: the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Map your SPA to the installment calendar
The 50/50 plan runs on fixed calendar dates rather than construction milestones, so your exposure depends on when you signed. Not sure which dates you still face? Send me your SPA schedule and I will mark which dates fall before the tower goes vertical.
Confirm your Oqood registration
Oqood is the interim registration that records an off plan unit against your name at the Dubai Land Department. At this stage of The Mural it is the document that proves what you bought, so confirm the certificate exists and the unit details on it match your SPA.
Track the vertical milestone
The reading that matters next is the one showing progress above the podium, since substructure work absorbs points slowly. The Mural construction updates hub records each cycle as it is certified.
General framework, not legal advice: milestone definitions, payment dates, and fee obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 8.2%?
Entering while the foundations are still being formed trades certainty for runway: the tower is unproven on site, but the payment schedule and the choice of unit are both still wide open. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 3650, released against certified construction progress.
- The full 50/50 plan still ahead, with half the price held to completion
- Five dated construction installments from 01 August 2026 to 01 March 2028
- Floor, orientation, and layout still open across 268 residences
- Structure already certified, so less construction risk to carry
- Most of the purchase price payable within months of signing
- Selection limited to whatever remains unsold near handover

About the Development
The Mural Project Details
With the substructure still being formed, The Mural is a groundworks stage development of 268 residences over 36 levels, running from one bedroom apartments to a single level 35 penthouse. Starting prices: AED 2.90M ≈ USD 790K.
For buyers entering here, the trade off is the longest wait against the lightest committed capital, with half the price held back until the Q4 2028 handover window.
Site Context This Cycle
Explore The Mural Location on Dubai Map
The Mural is being built on plot 530 in Madinat Dubai Almelaheyah, the seaward edge of the Dubai Maritime City peninsula, with the district's landscaped spine behind the site and open water in front of it. That position explains why this cycle reads entirely as piling and foundations: a 36 level tower on made ground carries its hardest engineering below the surface, and the May 2026 inspection captured the site in exactly that phase.
The peninsula itself is still filling in around the plot, so The Mural is being delivered into a district that matures on roughly the same timetable as the tower rather than one already complete, which is the honest frame for anyone weighing rental or occupancy plans against the Q4 2028 window.

The Mural Construction Progress in May 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
The RERA inspection carried out on 07 May 2026 records The Mural at 8.2% construction progress in the DLD project register, with the main contract logged as progressing.
The register shows 6.43% at the previous reading and 8.2% on 07 May 2026, a gain of 1.77 points. No date is attached to that earlier figure in the register, so the interval the gain covers cannot be stated precisely, and this page shows only the dated 07 May 2026 reading on its progress track.
The 07 May 2026 report records enabling, piling, and foundation works ongoing on plot 530 in Madinat Dubai Almelaheyah. Nothing above ground was certified at that reading: the basement, lower ground, ground, two podium levels, and 32 residential floors all sit ahead of the project.
At the 07 May 2026 reading the project is listed as active with 91.8 percentage points still to certify, and the anticipated handover window remains Q4 2028. Substructure cycles like this one carry little schedule signal on their own, so the readings through late 2026 are the ones that will show whether the vertical programme is holding. Each cycle is added to The Mural construction updates hub.
On the published 50/50 schedule the third installment fell on 01 April 2026, just before this inspection, and the fourth falls on 01 August 2026. Five dated construction installments run from that date through to 01 March 2028, with the remaining 50% due on completion. Your own dates depend on your booking date and your signed SPA.
Yes. Completion timing recorded against a project in the DLD register can be revised between inspection cycles, and at 8.2% recorded progress The Mural is early enough that any revision would most likely surface once the tower starts rising. The window shown here reflects the position as of the May 2026 cycle.
