Construction Snapshot
The Quayside at a Glance
The Quayside is Ellington's one-tower development of 118 residences beside the Dubai Water Canal in Business Bay, entered in the Dubai Land Department register as project 2815. The register records construction as starting on 15 September 2023 and the project as registered on 16 November 2023, and its inspection card for 9 June 2026 shows 54.57%. Because the whole development is one G + 3P + 16F building, a ground floor, three podium levels and 16 residential floors, every percentage on this page measures the same structure and the same canal frontage rather than an average across separate phases.

Inspection Record
The Quayside Construction Update Timeline
The Quayside's register gives this page one dated reading so far: 54.57% at the RERA inspection of 9 June 2026, the cycle covered by the June 2026 update. The same register card shows a previous inspection at 36.31% but no date for it, so that figure sits on the track as a dot without a month and has no table row; the table grows as each new dated reading for project 2815 is posted.
| Inspection Month | Construction Progress | Inspection Date | Full Update |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 2026 | 54.57% | 9 June 2026 | View the June 2026 update |
Reading the dates: the DLD-registered completion date for project 2815 is 31 March 2026, and it has passed: the 54.57% reading of 9 June 2026 was recorded 70 days after it, and the original Q1 2026 handover schedule Ellington set has also passed while construction continues. A registered date is an administrative anchor that the register can update, so search project 2815 in Dubai REST to see whether a newer registered completion date has been entered, and get Ellington's present handover date in writing, then read it against your SPA's completion clause before you commit.
Pace Analysis
How Fast The Quayside Has Been Built
With a single dated register reading, The Quayside's record does not yet allow an inspection-to-inspection pace. It does support one whole-build average and one comparison that stays unmeasured:
- 15 Sep 2023 to 9 Jun 2026: construction start to the June 2026 reading, 54.57 points over 998 daysAbout 1.64 points per month
- Previous inspection to 9 Jun 2026: 36.31% to 54.57%, with no date shown for the earlier readingNo monthly rate measurable
The 1.64 figure is arithmetic, not a forecast: it spreads 54.57 points evenly across 998 days in 30-day months, as if the enabling and foundation works RERA recorded as completed had moved at the same rate as the structure, external envelope, internal finishes and MEP works that were still progressing on 9 June 2026. A G + 3P + 16F tower seldom adds percentage that evenly, because podium levels, residential floors and building systems overlap rather than follow one another, so the average says nothing about how the remaining 45.43 points will be recorded. For an end user, the stage mix in the Stage Record below is the more useful signal; for an investor, the next dated register reading matters most, since it will give The Quayside its first measurable pace between two inspections.

The Quayside Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Each stage below is pinned to The Quayside's own record: two dated register events from 2023, one RERA inspection on 9 June 2026 that found some work complete and more under way, and the stretch still ahead of the 54.57% reading.
Construction Start and DLD Registration
The register records construction starting on 15 September 2023 and the project's registration as number 2815 on 16 November 2023; both dates are shown here as recorded.
Enabling and Foundation Works
RERA's report for 9 June 2026 lists the enabling and foundation works beneath the tower as completed; the register gives no separate finishing date for them.
Concrete Structure of the G + 3P + 16F Tower
Structure and internal works were progressing at different stages at the 9 June 2026 inspection, across the ground floor, three podium levels and 16 residential floors.
Envelope, Internal Finishes and MEP
External envelope, internal finishes and MEP works were also progressing at that inspection, overlapping the structure of the canal-facing tower rather than waiting for it.
Completion and Handover
Final works and handover remain ahead. The 31 March 2026 registered date and the original Q1 2026 schedule have both passed, so the timetable rests on what Ellington confirms in writing.
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 Quayside's own record.

Between 54.57% and Handover: What The Quayside Buyers Should Do Now
The Quayside's next construction-linked instalment is tied to the 60% stage, which the register had not reached on 9 June 2026, while the 30% balance waits for completion. A newer reading may have been posted since, so an instalment notice can arrive between updates to this page, and the three steps below are worth settling before it does.
First, before any construction-linked transfer, match the account details to project 2815 using The Quayside escrow verification guide, which ties the Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) account to the DLD record.
Second, if your unit is a 2 Bedroom + Maid's Room, 3 Bedroom or penthouse residence, check how an off-plan purchase is treated for residency before the completion payment falls due; The Quayside Golden Visa eligibility page shows where each unit type sits against AED 2M.
Third, put the handover question to Ellington in writing: the original Q1 2026 schedule has passed while construction continues, and the date that governs your purchase is the one Ellington confirms and your SPA completion clause allows. Until a newer reading is added here, the June 2026 cycle report for The Quayside reads the most recent inspection line by line.

FAQs
The Quayside Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
The Quayside, DLD project 2815, is an active project under construction, recorded at 54.57% on the DLD register at the RERA inspection of 9 June 2026, with enabling and foundation works completed and structure, envelope, finishes and MEP still progressing. A newer reading may have been posted since; the dated record is in the inspection timeline above.
At the inspection of 9 June 2026, The Quayside's DLD register reading was 54.57%, up 18.26 points from the previous inspection's 36.31%, a figure the register lists without a date. Because the earlier date is not shown, no monthly rate can be drawn from that rise; the cycle itself is covered in the June 2026 construction update for The Quayside.
No current completion date for The Quayside is on record: the DLD-registered completion date of 31 March 2026 has passed, and the original Q1 2026 handover schedule has likewise passed while construction continues, at 54.57% on 9 June 2026. The register can carry an updated registered date, so look up project 2815 on Dubai REST for any change, and have Ellington state the current expected handover in writing so it can be compared with the SPA completion clause before any commitment; this page's record is updated as each new reading is recorded.
The Quayside holds 118 residences in one tower registered as G + 3P + 16F: a ground floor, three podium levels and 16 residential floors. The unit types run from Studio through 1 Bedroom, 2 Bedroom + Maid's Room and 3 Bedroom Apartments to a 5 Bedroom Penthouse, with sizes and prices set out in The Quayside project guide.
The DLD register records construction at The Quayside as starting on 15 September 2023 and the project as registered, under number 2815, on 16 November 2023; both dates are shown here as recorded. The first dated reading on this page is 54.57% at the RERA inspection of 9 June 2026.
Averaged over the 998 days from the 15 September 2023 start to the 9 June 2026 reading, The Quayside's 54.57 points work out to about 1.64 points per 30-day month. That is arithmetic, not a forecast, and it blends completed enabling and foundation works with stages that were still progressing; the reasoning is laid out in the pace analysis above.
