The St. Regis Residences Construction Snapshot
A 10.47 point rise since 3 February 2026 lifts The St. Regis Residences past 70% and into the finishing band, where the questions a buyer asks shift from how the towers are advancing to when the handover inspection, the 30% completion payment and the keys arrive.

Data source: RERA inspection conducted on 2 June 2026 for DLD project 1816, read from the DLD app inspection card and the Independent Progress Monitoring Report for that date, which keeps the status at Main Contract - Progressing and files 16 inspection photos. This time the card's Previous Inspection field, 65.58%, is the dated 3 February 2026 reading itself, so the card's comparison and the delta on this page are the same measurement. Register details (status, units, start and completion dates) are as shown in the DLD app in September 2026. The header photograph was taken on site by Tohid Fetrat on 20 June 2026, 18 days after this inspection; it is not one of the RERA inspection photos. 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 3 February and 2 June 2026 inspections, The St. Regis Residences went from 65.58% to 76.05%: 10.47 points in 119 days, about 2.64 points a month, against about 3.20 a month over the June 2025 to February 2026 interval. Both are measurements of intervals already past. The June notes repeat the February wording almost word for word, so the gain was made inside packages already underway rather than by any package changing status.
- Enabling works, foundations and substructure, still recorded as completed on 2 June 2026
- The five phase 1 basements, which the October 2023 report records as delivered long before that visit
- Superstructure of Tower 1 (65 floors plus roof) and Tower 2 (44 floors plus roof)
- Internal works and MEP services
- Internal finishes, at stages the report does not itemise
- External works and the external envelope
- The inspection cycles that remain between 76.05% and 100%
- Building completion certificate procedures once works reach 100%
- The 30% completion payment, snagging and handover in Q4 2026
Payment Linked Progress
What 76.05% Progress Means for The St. Regis Residences Buyers
By the 2 June 2026 inspection every dated row of the March 2022 schedule of record, 70% in all, had fallen due, so the one payment still ahead is the 30% on construction completion, which the developer estimated for December 2026. At 76.05%, four actions follow, and the third has become time-sensitive.
Verify the escrow account
Before any part of the 30% moves, confirm it is going to the DLD regulated escrow account for project 1816 held at Dubai Islamic Bank and to no other account. The St. Regis Residences escrow account verification walks through the check, and the lookup takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Reread your SPA completion clauses
Your sale and purchase agreement sets what counts as construction completion, how much notice the handover letter must give and when service charges begin; read each one against 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.
Book the snagging inspection
At 76.05% and about seven months from the registered completion date, The St. Regis Residences sits inside the usual booking window for a pre handover inspection while internal finishes are still being carried out. The St. Regis Residences snagging inspection guide explains what is checked in a tower apartment or a 4 bedroom penthouse.
Follow the last readings to 100%
Each remaining reading shows how much of the 23.95 point gap has closed and whether the registered date still holds. The St. Regis Residences construction updates hub adds every dated figure as it publishes.
General framework, not legal advice: completion definitions, notice periods, service charge start dates, and fee obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 76.05%?
Past three quarters of recorded progress, the trade off is mostly settled: the ground works are recorded as completed, handover is expected within Q4 2026, and the remaining decision is which of the limited units still available fits your plans. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 1816, released against inspected construction progress.
- Ground works completed; towers, services and finishes recorded as progressing
- Handover expected in Q4 2026, months rather than years away
- Terms on remaining units confirmed with Emaar at the point of sale
- Construction risk carried from the first excavation onward
- A multi year wait between booking and handover
- Instalments spread over the build at launch price levels
Limited units listed as available on the project page as of this update; availability shifts between cycles.
About the Development
The St. Regis Residences Project Details
By 2 June 2026 The St. Regis Residences had passed three quarters of its recorded progress, with ground works completed and both towers, their services and finishes still progressing toward 1,108 residences over one podium. Starting prices: AED 2.48M ≈ USD 674K.
Buying at this reading shortens the wait to a Q4 2026 handover, but the 2022 schedule's dated instalments no longer apply to a new purchase, so payment terms on remaining units need confirming one by one.

Explore The St. Regis Residences Location on Dubai Map
Plot 183 sits on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard in The Opera District, a one minute walk from Dubai Opera and two minutes from The Dubai Fountain by the developer's measure. With the ground works closed out, the June 2026 activity is vertical and outward facing: envelope work on towers designed to rise 262 and 171 metres, and external works around a podium whose pool deck is planned to look over the Dubai Opera promenade.
Around the hoarding, the district is already finished: Burj Khalifa is a three minute walk, the Dubai Metro runs along Sheikh Zayed Road, and DIFC and Business Bay are each about five minutes by car. At 76.05%, that lets a buyer judge a move in or a letting plan against a working neighbourhood today rather than a promised one, leaving the unit, the view and the handover date as the open variables.

The St. Regis Residences Construction Progress in June 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
The RERA inspection of 2 June 2026 recorded The St. Regis Residences, DLD project 1816, at 76.05% construction progress, up 10.47 points from 65.58% on 3 February 2026. It is the first reading in the series above 70%, and the first whose inspection card lists a dated earlier reading as its Previous Inspection figure. The Independent Progress Monitoring Report for 2 June 2026 keeps the status at Main Contract - Progressing.
At 76.05% on 2 June 2026, 23.95 percentage points remained and 206 days were left to 25 December 2026, the registered completion date in the DLD register as viewed in September 2026. Closing that distance in that time works out at about 3.49 points a month on a 30-day month, against about 2.64 points a month measured from 3 February to 2 June 2026. That is arithmetic on dated readings, not a forecast: readings do not rise at an even rate, a registered date can be revised between inspection cycles, and handover is expected in Q4 2026. The latest dated record is kept on The St. Regis Residences construction updates hub.
Because no work package changed status between the two visits. On 3 February 2026 the notes already listed enabling, foundation and substructure works as completed and six packages, superstructure, internal works, MEP, internal finishes, external works and the external envelope, as progressing at different stages; on 2 June 2026 all nine kept the same status. The 10.47 point rise therefore came from work inside packages already underway, and the report does not break that gain down by package or by tower.
Yes. The practical window for booking a pre handover inspection opens once a project passes roughly 70% or comes within about nine months of completion, and the 2 June 2026 reading of 76.05%, taken 206 days before the registered completion date, meets both tests. The inspection itself is carried out when units are released for handover, expected in Q4 2026, so June 2026 is the point to arrange it rather than to perform it.
On its own, nothing falls due at 76.05%. Under the developer's March 2022 payment plan the 30% row is payable on construction completion, estimated there for December 2026, and every dated instalment before it had fallen due by November 2025. The trigger is completion as your SPA defines it, not a percentage on the inspection card, individual contracts may differ from the plan of record, and the transfer belongs in the project's DLD regulated escrow account at Dubai Islamic Bank.
Sixteen, the most of the four dated readings in this series: six were filed in October 2023, eight in June 2025 and nine in February 2026. They form part of the DLD record for project 1816 and can be viewed in the DLD app; they are not reproduced on this page. The header image here is a separate photograph taken on site by Tohid Fetrat on 20 June 2026, 18 days after the inspection, and is not part of the RERA record.
