Data source: RERA Independent Progress Monitoring Report dated 18 May 2026 (progress status Main Contract - Progressing; the report prints no percentage) and the Dubai Land Department project register, which records the 21.81% reading, register status Active, registration on 10 July 2024 and the construction start of 09 January 2024. The reading was 134 days old at this page's build on 29 September 2026: re-verify project 2885 on Dubai REST before publishing. The hero image is a project rendering of the planned tower, not a site photograph. Construction tracking against RERA inspection data runs across the full tohidfetrat.com project portfolio and is reviewed after every published cycle. Last updated: May 2026.

VELA Viento Construction Progress Summary
The inspection report dated 18 May 2026 prints no percentage of its own: it records the status Main Contract - Progressing for a 2B + G + 41 Floors + Roof tower in concrete structure and block, and its photographs showed the concrete frame rising above the podium with tower cranes on site. The 21.81% figure comes from the Dubai Land Department register, which is why every percentage on this page is labelled a register reading.
- Enabling works on plot 207, recorded complete on 18 May 2026
- Foundation works for the tower, recorded complete on the same date
- Registration in the DLD project register on 10 July 2024
- Structural works on the concrete frame of the tower
- Internal works, recorded as progressing at the site
- MEP works: mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems
- Structure through the 41 floors to roof level
- Block work with internal and external finishes, per the RERA project description
- Remaining register readings toward 100%
- Expected handover Q3 2027; registered completion date 13 May 2027
Payment Linked Progress
What 21.81% Progress Means for VELA Viento Buyers
The developer documents reviewed for this page publish no payment schedule for VELA Viento, so your SPA is the only source for which instalments, if any, follow construction stages. With the frame rising and 78.19 points still ahead on 18 May 2026, four actions matter most at this stage.
Verify the escrow account
Every instalment should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 2885, which the inspection report places with Commercial Bank of Dubai. VELA Viento escrow account verification is the step before any transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Reread your SPA milestone schedule
Check whether your sale and purchase agreement ties any instalment to a construction stage, and map those clauses against the 21.81% reading and the Q3 2027 expected handover. Not sure how your instalments map to this reading? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Confirm your Oqood registration
Make sure your VELA Viento residence is registered with the Dubai Land Department through Oqood under project 2885 before further instalments: that interim registration ties your purchase to the register until title is issued at completion.
Track the structural readings
While the frame climbs toward the 41st floor, each new register reading shows how quickly the structure is closing the 78.19 point gap. The VELA Viento construction updates hub keeps every reading in one sequence.
General framework, not legal advice: instalment triggers, notice periods, and registration obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at 21.81%?
Entering while the frame is still rising trades certainty for time: enabling and foundation works are recorded complete, the structure is under way, and handover is expected in Q3 2027. Every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 2885, released against construction progress recorded in the DLD register.
- Enabling and foundation works recorded complete on 18 May 2026
- Structural, internal, and MEP works recorded as progressing
- Expected handover Q3 2027 per the developer
- Construction risk carried from excavation onward
- The longest wait between purchase and handover
- Widest choice of floors and layouts, at launch pricing

About the Development
VELA Viento Project Details
Recorded at 21.81% on 18 May 2026, VELA Viento is a structural stage tower of 95 ultra-luxury residences, planned at 180 metres and 41 floors by Foster + Partners, with Gilles & Boissier interiors. Starting prices: AED 17.00M ≈ USD 4.63M.
For buyers entering at this stage, the trade off is a longer wait against an earlier position in the build, with handover expected in Q3 2027 and Dorchester Collection managing the residences once the tower is complete.
VELA Viento by OMNIYAT Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore VELA Viento Location on Dubai Map
VELA Viento occupies plot 207, registered under Business Bay, on the Marasi Bay waterfront beside its sister property VELA, and every residence is planned with Burj Khalifa views. In May 2026 the site was still defined by its podium and lower frame: the views that set the price of the upper residences only open up as the structure climbs toward 180 metres over the coming cycles.
Marasi Bay sits inside an established Business Bay grid, with Marasi Drive, Sheikh Zayed Road, and Al Khail Road already in service and the promenade linking VELA and The Lana, so VELA Viento is being built into a working waterfront rather than an unfinished district, which matters for buyers weighing a Q3 2027 move in or rental plan.

VELA Viento Construction Progress in May 2026: Frequently Asked Questions
The Dubai Land Department project register recorded VELA Viento, project 2885, at 21.81% construction progress after the RERA inspection of 18 May 2026. The inspection report itself prints no percentage; it lists the progress status as Main Contract - Progressing. The reading was 134 days old on 29 September 2026, so check project 2885 on Dubai REST for any newer figure.
The register showed 18.03% as the previous inspection reading and 21.81% as the current reading on 18 May 2026, a difference of 3.78 points. The register does not show the date of the 18.03% reading, so no monthly pace can be measured from this pair.
The 18 May 2026 inspection notes recorded enabling and foundation works as completed, and structural, internal, and MEP works as progressing at the site. The RERA project description sets the building out as a 2B + G + 41 Floors + Roof tower with a concrete structure and block, followed by internal and external finishes.
The DLD register lists 13 May 2027 as the registered completion date for project 2885, 360 days after the 18 May 2026 reading, while the developer's expected handover for VELA Viento is Q3 2027. Both are stated here as recorded. Registered dates can be revised between inspection cycles, so read the register again before planning around either date; how the register records dates across cycles is covered on the VELA Viento construction updates hub.
From the registered construction start on 09 January 2024 to the 18 May 2026 reading, VELA Viento gained 21.81 points over 860 days, about 0.76 points per 30-day month. That figure is whole-build arithmetic, not a forecast: it describes the past average only and says nothing about the pace of the remaining 78.19 points.
It is the progress status the RERA inspection report gave VELA Viento on 18 May 2026, recording that works under the main construction contract were proceeding at the site. Read together with the 21.81% register reading and the notes on structural, internal, and MEP works, it places the tower in its structural phase, well before any finishing stage.
