A 4.20 point rise from the 7.42% reading of 27 January 2025 left VELA within the enabling and foundations band, yet this is the report on which the ground stage closes: piling and foundations finished, the main contract progressing, and the concrete structure started above them.

Data source: the Dubai Land Department project register, reading 11.62% on 11 June 2025 with the previous reading 7.42% on 27 January 2025, and the RERA Independent Progress Monitoring Report of 11 June 2025 (Progress Status: Main Contract - Progressing), which prints no percentage of its own. Construction tracking against RERA inspection data runs across the full tohidfetrat.com project portfolio and is reviewed after every published cycle. Built on 24 September 2026, 470 days after that reading: re-verify it on Dubai REST before publishing.

VELA by OMNIYAT Construction Progress Summary
From 27 January to 11 June 2025, VELA's register figure went from 7.42% to 11.62%: 4.20 points in 135 days, about 0.93 points per 30-day month, against roughly 0.36 over the 616 days before. Both intervals are measured between dated readings only, and the register gives no breakdown of which works carry the gain.
- Enabling works, already complete at the January visit
- Piling works, listed as completed on 11 June 2025
- Foundation works, listed as completed on the same date
- Structure works for the concrete frame
- Contractor mobilization, still noted as ongoing
- Reinforcement and column formwork shown in the report photographs
- Progress Status recorded as Main Contract - Progressing
- The frame through four basements, ground and 30 floors
- Block work with internal and external finishes
- Fit out of the 38 residences
- Scheduled handover in Q4 2027
Payment Linked Progress
What 11.62% Progress Means for VELA Buyers
When a sale and purchase agreement ties installments to named stages, the June 2025 record matters less for its percentage than for the stage change it reports: foundations finished and the structure begun. For a VELA buyer reading the 11 June 2025 record, four actions mattered most.
Verify the escrow account
Any VELA installment belongs only in the DLD regulated escrow account for project 2653, held with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank according to the June 2025 inspection report. VELA by OMNIYAT escrow account verification is the check to run first; it takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Match SPA stages to the foundation milestone
Find how your sale and purchase agreement words the end of foundations and the start of the structure, and whether either is tied to a payment; the 11 June 2025 report lists the first as completed and the second as ongoing. Not sure how your installments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Confirm the Oqood entry
Oqood, the DLD system that records off plan units before title deeds exist, is where a signed VELA purchase should appear against project 2653, registered with the DLD since 05 October 2023. A missing entry is worth raising before any further payment.
Follow the frame upward
With the structure under way by June 2025, each later reading shows how the concrete frame climbs from the basements toward the 30th floor. The VELA by OMNIYAT construction updates pillar holds every dated reading in sequence.
General framework, not legal advice: stage definitions, payment triggers, and registration duties come from your own SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Considering VELA as the Structure Begins?
Buying around the June 2025 reading meant entering after piling and foundations were reported complete, while the frame was only starting to rise ahead of a handover scheduled for Q4 2027. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 2653, released against recorded construction progress.
- Piling and foundations reported complete on 11 June 2025
- Structure works started, the tower's upper floors still to come
- Handover scheduled for Q4 2027, more than two years after this reading
- A finished frame and facade on record before committing
- A short wait between purchase and keys
- Fewer residences left to choose between
No availability figure is quoted for June 2025; releases change from cycle to cycle, and any residence is confirmed on request.
About the Development
VELA by OMNIYAT Project Details
On 11 June 2025 VELA's foundations were reported complete and structure works under way, the start of a concrete frame of four basements, ground and 30 floors that is to contain 38 residences. Prices start at AED 37.00M ≈ USD 10.07M.
A buyer at this reading was committing after the foundations but before the frame, the Foster + Partners architecture and the Gilles & Boissier interiors named by the developer, with handover scheduled for Q4 2027.

By 11 June 2025 the work on plot 8, a canal-front Marasi Bay site within Business Bay, had moved up from the foundations: the inspection photographs show reinforcement steel across a slab, column bars and formwork standing above it, and finished glass towers standing close beside the site.
In a district whose roads and canal promenade were already in use, the canal frontage and the Burj Khalifa and Downtown views the brochure presents depend on upper floors that, in mid 2025, were still to be built, so choosing between residences by outlook rested on plans rather than on anything standing on site.

VELA by OMNIYAT Construction Progress in June 2025: Frequently Asked Questions
The Dubai Land Department project register recorded VELA by OMNIYAT at 11.62% on 11 June 2025, against 7.42% at the previous reading dated 27 January 2025. The rise of 4.20 points over 135 days works out at about 0.93 points per 30-day month. The reading was 470 days old when this page was built on 24 September 2026, so it should be confirmed on Dubai REST before it is relied on.
On 11 June 2025 the register reading of 11.62% left 88.38 points to reach 100%, and the scheduled handover stated for VELA was Q4 2027. The two figures are recorded facts set side by side, and neither is a forecast of early or late delivery. Each later dated reading is listed on the VELA by OMNIYAT construction updates pillar, and an individual buyer's completion terms are the ones written into that buyer's own Sales and Purchase Agreement.
The report of 11 June 2025 is the first in VELA's record to print Main Contract - Progressing as its Progress Status, following Not Started on 22 May 2023 and Enabling Works - Progressing on 27 January 2025. The label marks the move from preparatory site works to the principal building contract for the tower itself. It is a stage description, not a percentage: the figure for the same date comes from the DLD project register.
The inspection notes of 11 June 2025 listed three packages as completed: enabling works, piling works, and foundation works. Structure works were recorded as ongoing and contractor mobilization as still in progress. The photographs attached to the report show reinforcement steel laid across a slab, with column bars and formwork standing above it.
Between 27 January and 11 June 2025, VELA gained 4.20 points in 135 days, about 0.93 points per 30-day month. The interval before it, from the 0% reading of 22 May 2023 to 27 January 2025, gave about 0.36 points per month over 616 days. The register publishes no breakdown of how its percentage is weighted between stages, so the record shows the difference without explaining it.
From the registered construction start of 01 June 2023 to the reading of 11 June 2025, VELA recorded 11.62 points over 741 days, about 0.47 points per month. That average is simple arithmetic on two dated entries in the record, not a forecast, and it is lower than the 0.93 measured over the January to June 2025 interval on its own.
