A 31.04 point rise since 30 October 2023 carries The St. Regis Residences out of enabling works and into the superstructure band, where each new reading starts to measure the two towers rather than the ground beneath them.

Data source: RERA inspection conducted on 10 June 2025 for DLD project 1816, taken from the DLD app inspection card and the Independent Progress Monitoring Report for that date, which gives the status as Main Contract - Progressing and files eight inspection photos. The same card shows 26.77% in its Previous Inspection field without a date, so that figure is not used for pace; the change on this page is measured from the previous dated reading, 9.18% on 30 October 2023. Register details (status, units, start and completion dates) are as shown in the DLD app in September 2026. The header image is a developer rendering of the finished project, not a photograph of the site in June 2025. Construction tracking against RERA inspection data runs across the full tohidfetrat.com project portfolio and is reviewed after every published cycle. Last updated: September 2026.

The St. Regis Residences Construction Progress Summary
Between the 30 October 2023 and 10 June 2025 inspections, The St. Regis Residences moved from 9.18% to 40.22%, a gain of 31.04 points over 589 days, or about 1.58 points a month across that interval. Over the same stretch the report's progress status changed from Enabling Works to Main Contract, and the June notes describe the ground works beneath both towers as almost completed.
- Phase 1 common basements, recorded as delivered in the October 2023 inspection report
- Enabling, foundation and substructure works, noted as almost completed
- Main contract mobilization on site
- Superstructure works for Tower 1 and Tower 2, at early stages
- Internal works, MEP and internal finishes, at early stages
- External works and external envelope, at early stages
- Tower 1 structure to 65 floors plus roof and Tower 2 to 44 floors plus roof
- Envelope, MEP and finishes through 1,108 residences and the ground level retail
- Podium deck amenities, then handover in Q4 2026
Payment Linked Progress
What 40.22% Progress Means for The St. Regis Residences Buyers
Because The St. Regis Residences schedule of record runs on calendar dates, buyers on the March 2022 launch plan had seen 65% of the price fall due by this inspection against 40.22% recorded progress. Only a 5% instalment in November 2025 and the 30% due on construction completion remained, so four checks carried the weight at this stage.
Verify the escrow account
The last dated instalment and the completion payment should both reach only the DLD regulated escrow account for project 1816 at Dubai Islamic Bank. The St. Regis Residences escrow account verification sets out the check; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Reread your SPA completion clause
With 30% held to construction completion, check how your sale and purchase agreement defines completion, how the handover notice is served, and how both line up with the registered 25 December 2026 date. Not sure how your installments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Pencil in the snagging inspection
Internal finishes were only at early stages in June 2025, so there was nothing yet to inspect, but the booking window follows the finishes. The St. Regis Residences snagging inspection guide shows when it opens for tower apartments and penthouses.
Follow the superstructure readings
With the main contract mobilized, the next readings show how quickly the towers climb toward 65 and 44 floors. The St. Regis Residences construction updates hub keeps each dated reading in sequence.
General framework, not legal advice: completion definitions, notice periods, and fee obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 40.22%?
That entry point is now historical: the 40.22% reading dates from 10 June 2025, later dated readings on the construction updates hub sit well above it, and what this record preserves is the trade off at the moment the main contract took over. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 1816, released against inspected construction progress.
- Ground works almost completed, superstructure at early stages
- About 18 months to the Q4 2026 handover
- 65% due by date under the March 2022 schedule, 30% held to completion
- Construction risk carried from the ground up
- A multi-year wait from launch to keys
- Instalments spread across the whole build at launch pricing

About the Development
The St. Regis Residences Project Details
By the 10 June 2025 reading, substructure works were almost complete beneath the two planned towers of 65 and 44 floors, with 1,108 residences above a shared podium still to be built. Starting prices at publication: AED 2.48M ≈ USD 674K.
Entering here meant taking on the tower structure, envelope and finishes, with most of the date-based schedule already due and the 30% completion payment still tied to the Q4 2026 handover.
The St. Regis Residences by Emaar Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore The St. Regis Residences Location on Dubai Map
Plot 183 sits in The Opera District beside the Dubai Opera promenade, which the podium pool deck is designed to overlook, so the June 2025 cycle was building upward inside an operating district rather than on open land. The inspection report's project description lists five common basements, ground and two podium levels under both towers, which is why the ground works it records as almost completed are shared by Tower 1, rising to 262 metres, and Tower 2, rising to 171 metres.
Around the hoarding, Downtown Dubai was already a finished address: The Dubai Fountain is a two minute walk away by the developer's own measure, and Business Bay and DIFC are around five minutes by car, with Dubai International Airport about fifteen. For a buyer reading 40.22%, the district carried little uncertainty; the open questions were the pace of the towers and how the remaining payments lined up with them. The project's position is marked on the interactive Dubai real estate map. See the project’s position on the interactive Dubai real estate map.

The St. Regis Residences Construction Progress in June 2025: Frequently Asked Questions
The RERA inspection of 10 June 2025 recorded The St. Regis Residences, DLD project 1816, at 40.22% construction progress, 31.04 points above the previous dated reading of 9.18% on 30 October 2023. The Independent Progress Monitoring Report for 10 June 2025 gives the progress status as Main Contract - Progressing and files eight inspection photos with the record.
At the 10 June 2025 reading, 59.78 percentage points of work remained against a handover expected in Q4 2026. The developer's March 2022 payment plan puts estimated construction completion at December 2026, and the DLD register, as viewed in September 2026, lists 25 December 2026 as the registered completion date, about 18 months after this inspection. Registered dates can be revised between inspection cycles; the most recent dated record is kept on The St. Regis Residences construction updates hub.
Between the dated readings of 30 October 2023 (9.18%) and 10 June 2025 (40.22%), the project gained 31.04 points over 589 days, about 1.58 points a month on a 30-day month. That is a measurement of the past interval, not a forecast for the months that followed. The June 2025 inspection card also shows 26.77% as its previous inspection figure, but with no date attached it is not used to calculate pace.
The 10 June 2025 notes record mobilization going on, enabling, foundation and substructure works almost completed, and superstructure works, internal works, MEP, internal finishes, external works and the external envelope all progressing at early stages. The project description in the same report lists five common basements, ground and two podium levels beneath Tower 1 (65 floors plus roof) and Tower 2 (44 floors plus roof).
The progress status in the inspection report changed from Enabling Works - Progressing on 30 October 2023 to Main Contract - Progressing on 10 June 2025. On Dubai projects the main contract is typically the package that builds the structure, services and finishes after the enabling and piling works, which fits the June notes: mobilization under way and superstructure at early stages above ground works recorded as almost completed.
Under the developer's March 2022 payment plan, eight dated instalments totalling 65% of the price had fallen due by 10 June 2025, the latest being 5% in May 2025, against 40.22% recorded progress. One further 5% instalment was scheduled for November 2025, and the remaining 30% is due on construction completion, estimated for December 2026. The schedule follows calendar dates rather than construction stages, so reaching superstructure triggered no payment of its own; an individual SPA can differ from this schedule of record.
