Construction Snapshot
The St. Regis Residences at a Glance
The St. Regis Residences is Emaar's 1,108-unit pair of towers in The Opera District of Downtown Dubai, 65 and 44 floors plus roof over a shared base of five basements, ground and two podium levels. The DLD register dates the construction start to 28 February 2017, yet the first dated reading in this record, 9.18% on 30 October 2023, found phase 2 still at enabling and piling works, because the inspection report counts those five common basements as a phase 1 delivered long before. That phased start explains why the record opens late and then covers 66.87 points in 946 days, reaching 76.05% on 02 June 2026.

Inspection Record
The St. Regis Residences Construction Update Timeline
Four dated inspections make up this record: 9.18% on 30 October 2023, 40.22% on 10 June 2025, 65.58% on 03 February 2026 and 76.05% on 02 June 2026. Their spacing is uneven, with 589 days between the first two readings against 119 between the last two, so the track below places each reading at its percentage while the table keeps the dates. Each row opens that month's full update with its inspection notes.
| Inspection Month | Construction Progress | Inspection Date | Full Update |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 2026 | 76.05% | 02 June 2026 | |
| February 2026 | 65.58% | 03 February 2026 | |
| June 2025 | 40.22% | 10 June 2025 | |
| October 2023 | 9.18% | 30 October 2023 |
Pace Analysis
How Fast The St. Regis Residences Has Been Built
Four dated readings give The St. Regis Residences three measurable intervals, and the rate of climb has differed sharply between them:
- Oct 2023 to Jun 2025: enabling works into the main contract, 9.18% to 40.22% (31.04 points in 589 days)About 1.6 points per month
- Jun 2025 to Feb 2026: substructure closed out, superstructure and services rising, 40.22% to 65.58% (25.36 points in 238 days)About 3.2 points per month
- Feb 2026 to Jun 2026: superstructure, envelope, services and finishes in parallel, 65.58% to 76.05% (10.47 points in 119 days)About 2.6 points per month
This curve starts slow for a reason specific to this site. The first interval, at about 1.58 points a month, straddles a change of contract: the 30 October 2023 report still shows phase 2 at enabling and piling, while on 10 June 2025 mobilisation under the main contract was going on, with foundations and substructure almost complete. With the towers rising, the rate roughly doubled to about 3.20 points a month up to 03 February 2026, then eased to about 2.64 over the 119 days to 02 June 2026, a stretch in which the inspection notes kept every package at the same status. Measured against the registered completion of 25 December 2026, the 23.95 points outstanding at the June reading work out at about 3.49 points a month over 206 days, above the latest measured interval. That is arithmetic on dated readings, not a forecast, and handover is expected in Q4 2026. For an end user the figure to watch is the next dated reading; for an investor, it is the pace of the next interval set against that 3.49.

The St. Regis Residences Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Each stage below is pinned to the inspection window The St. Regis Residences actually occupied, from a 2017 registered start through a basement phase the October 2023 report records as delivered years earlier, so the sequence follows this project's dates rather than a textbook order.
Phase 1 Basements, Then Phase 2 Enabling
The 30 October 2023 report, at 9.18%, records the five common basements as a phase 1 delivered long before that visit, and phase 2 enabling and piling well advanced.
Main Contract Mobilisation and Substructure
By 10 June 2025 the status had switched to Main Contract - Progressing at 40.22%, with foundations and substructure almost completed and superstructure work in its early stages.
Towers Rising Over a Completed Substructure
The fastest interval in the record: 25.36 points in 238 days, reaching 65.58% on 03 February 2026 with enabling, foundation and substructure works recorded as completed.
Envelope, Services and Finishes in Parallel
At 76.05% on 02 June 2026, superstructure, internal works, MEP, internal finishes, external works and the external envelope were all recorded as progressing, each package at its own stage.
Completion, Snagging and Handover
The 23.95 points left after 02 June 2026 stand between the project and its 25 December 2026 registered completion; buyer inspections and handover, expected in Q4 2026, follow.
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 St. Regis Residences's own record.

Between 76.05% and Handover: What The St. Regis Residences Buyers Should Do Now
At the 02 June 2026 reading, 23.95 points still separated The St. Regis Residences from 100%, with superstructure, MEP, internal finishes and the envelope all recorded as progressing and handover expected in Q4 2026. Handover notices usually leave buyers only a short window to complete their appointment, so the three steps below belong to the months before the notice, not the week it arrives.
First, plan an independent snagging inspection so defects in your apartment or penthouse are documented before you accept it; The St. Regis Residences snagging guide covers timing and what is checked in a high-rise unit.
Second, every dated instalment in the March 2022 schedule of record fell due by November 2025, so the open row is the 30% on construction completion; before it moves, confirm it is going to the project's escrow account at Dubai Islamic Bank using The St. Regis Residences escrow verification page.
Third, if residency is part of your plan, settle the Golden Visa sequence before the keys, since the title deed timing shapes the application path; The St. Regis Residences Golden Visa residency guide sets out the steps.
Send me your unit number on WhatsApp and I will tell you what the latest inspection means for your handover and map the sequence for your specific unit.

FAQs
The St. Regis Residences Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
The St. Regis Residences, DLD project 1816, is an active project under construction, recorded at 76.05% at the RERA inspection of 02 June 2026 with the progress report status Main Contract - Progressing. That report lists enabling, foundation and substructure works as completed and six packages, superstructure, internal works, MEP, internal finishes, external works and the external envelope, as progressing, each at its own stage. The full record is in the inspection timeline above.
The 02 June 2026 inspection recorded 76.05%, a gain of 10.47 points on the 65.58% of 03 February 2026 and the fourth dated reading in this record. It is also the first reading above 70%, reached with 16 inspection photographs filed, the most of any visit so far. The notes and figures for that visit are in the St. Regis Residences June 2026 construction update.
Handover is expected in Q4 2026. The DLD register for project 1816, as viewed in September 2026, shows a registered completion date of 25 December 2026, and the developer's payment plan puts estimated construction completion in December 2026. At the 02 June 2026 reading of 76.05%, that registered date was 206 days away and had not passed, and this page's record is updated as each new inspection is recorded.
DLD registration records list 1,108 units for project 1816. The inspection report describes them in two towers, Tower 1 of 65 floors plus roof and Tower 2 of 44 floors plus roof, over a common base of five basements, a ground level and two podium levels, with retail alongside the residences. Homes run from 1 bedroom apartments to 4 bedroom penthouses, and layouts are set out in The St. Regis Residences project guide.
Measured between dated readings on a 30-day month, the pace was about 1.58 points a month from 30 October 2023 (9.18%) to 10 June 2025 (40.22%), about 3.20 from then to 03 February 2026 (65.58%), and about 2.64 from then to 02 June 2026 (76.05%). The 23.95 points left at that last reading, spread over the 206 days to the registered completion of 25 December 2026, come to about 3.49 points a month. That is arithmetic on past readings, not a forecast; the breakdown is in the pace analysis above.
The DLD register gives 28 February 2017 as the construction start, after registration on 03 October 2016. The first dated reading in this record came much later, 9.18% on 30 October 2023, when the inspection report described phase 1, five common basements, as delivered long before and phase 2 as still at enabling and piling works; that visit is covered in the St. Regis Residences October 2023 construction update.
