Construction Snapshot
VELA Viento at a Glance
VELA Viento is OMNIYAT's Dorchester Collection tower of 95 ultra-luxury residences on the Marasi Bay waterfront, entered in the DLD project register as project 2885 on 10 July 2024, with 09 January 2024 recorded as its construction start. The register placed it at 21.81% on 18 May 2026, and the expected handover is Q3 2027. Because a single dated reading anchors the whole record so far, the cards below are the fixed register points every later VELA Viento reading will be measured from.

Inspection Record
VELA Viento Construction Update Timeline
The VELA Viento record holds one dated reading so far: 21.81% on 18 May 2026, published in the DLD register after that day's RERA inspection, 860 days after the registered construction start. The register also lists a previous reading of 18.03% without a date, so it appears on the track below as an unlabelled dot and has no table row; the May 2026 row links the full monthly update.

Pace Analysis
How Fast VELA Viento Has Been Built
Pace is read between dated inspections, and the VELA Viento register holds only one so far. What the record supports as of 18 May 2026 is set out below as labelled arithmetic and recorded facts rather than as a velocity:
- 09 Jan 2024 to 18 May 2026: whole-build average, 21.81 points in 860 daysAbout 0.76 points per 30-day month, arithmetic, not a forecast
- Previous register reading (date not shown) to 18 May 2026: 18.03% to 21.81%3.78 points, no monthly rate measurable
- 18 May 2026 to the 13 May 2027 registered completion date: 360 days78.19 points remaining; expected handover Q3 2027
None of those three lines is a pace curve, and this page does not draw one from a single point. The 0.76 average folds together the enabling and foundation works, which the RERA report recorded complete on 18 May 2026, and the first stretch of the concrete frame, so it describes how the past 860 days averaged out and nothing about the months ahead. The 3.78 point gap to the undated 18.03% cannot become a monthly rate without its date. The remaining 78.19 points, the 13 May 2027 registered completion date and the Q3 2027 expected handover are recorded facts placed side by side, not a judgement on timing. For an investor or an end user, the figure that turns this record into a curve is the next dated VELA Viento reading, which will join the timeline above as its own row.

About VELA Viento at Marasi Bay
A register percentage only means something next to what is being delivered: at VELA Viento, a 180 metre, 41-floor tower of 95 residences whose Celestial Penthouses will crown the building. The full project guide covers what buyers are tracking toward on this page:

Buying at VELA Viento while structural works are recorded as progressing means choosing from what remains of 95 residences well ahead of the Q3 2027 expected handover. If the record on this page is what brought you here, ask me for current availability before later releases reshape what is left.

VELA Viento Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Each stage below is pinned to the window it occupies in the VELA Viento record, from the 09 January 2024 construction start to the single dated reading of 21.81% on 18 May 2026, so the later stages stay open until a reading records them.
Site Activation and Enabling Works
The DLD register dates the VELA Viento construction start to 09 January 2024 on plot 207 in Business Bay; the enabling works from this window were recorded complete at the 18 May 2026 inspection.
Foundations Below the Tower
Foundation works for the tower that the RERA project description sets out as 2B + G + 41 Floors + Roof were likewise recorded as completed on 18 May 2026.
Concrete Frame, Internal and MEP Works
On 18 May 2026 the register read 21.81% while structural, internal, and MEP works were recorded as progressing; the report's photographs showed the concrete frame rising above the podium with tower cranes on site.
Block Work and External Finishes
Block work and the internal and external finishes named in the RERA project description, including the Level 21 Sky Amenities Deck and the residence floors above it, come next; no VELA Viento reading has recorded this stage yet.
Finishing, Commissioning, and Handover
The closing stage covers the 78.19 points that remained on 18 May 2026 and ends at the expected handover in Q3 2027; 13 May 2027 stands in the DLD register as the registered completion date.
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 VELA Viento's own record.

Between 21.81% and Handover: What VELA Viento Buyers Should Do Now
On 18 May 2026 VELA Viento stood at 21.81%, with enabling and foundation works recorded complete and 78.19 points still to be recorded, so the decisions that matter now concern where your money goes and what the register shows, not handover logistics. No payment schedule appears in the developer material behind this page, so any instalment tied to a construction stage is set by your own SPA; the three steps below belong before your next transfer, not after it.
First, confirm that every transfer is made to the escrow account that Commercial Bank of Dubai holds for project 2885; the VELA Viento escrow account page explains how to check it against the DLD record.
Second, if residency is part of the plan, settle eligibility early through the VELA Viento Golden Visa guide, since Oqood registration now and the title deed at completion can shape which application route is open to you.
Third, follow the record rather than a headline figure: the May 2026 VELA Viento construction update holds the full inspection detail behind the 21.81% reading, and every later dated reading will get its own page linked from the timeline above.
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
VELA Viento Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
VELA Viento, DLD project 2885, is an active project in its structural phase, recorded at 21.81% by the Dubai Land Department register after the RERA inspection of 18 May 2026, with its enabling and foundation works already complete. By 29 September 2026 that reading was 134 days old, so the live register is where any newer figure appears first; every reading so far sits in the VELA Viento inspection timeline above.
The 18 May 2026 inspection left VELA Viento at 21.81% in the DLD register, 3.78 points above the previous register reading of 18.03%, whose date the register does not show. The RERA report from that visit prints no percentage of its own and gives the status Main Contract - Progressing; its full detail is in the VELA Viento May 2026 update.
The expected handover for VELA Viento is Q3 2027, while project 2885 carries a registered completion date of 13 May 2027 in the DLD register. On 18 May 2026 the tower stood at 21.81%, with 78.19 points still to be recorded and 360 days to the registered date. Both dates are stated here as recorded, and this page is updated as each new dated reading arrives.
VELA Viento is being built with 95 ultra-luxury residences in a 180 metre tower that the RERA project description sets out as 2B + G + 41 Floors + Roof. The collection runs from 2 and 3 bedroom Viento Residences near the water to the Skybridge Duplexes and the Celestial Penthouses at the top; layouts and prices are on the VELA Viento by OMNIYAT project page.
The DLD register records 09 January 2024 as the construction start for VELA Viento and 10 July 2024 as the date project 2885 was registered. The first dated reading on this record is 21.81% on 18 May 2026, 860 days after that start, and it remains the only dated reading on the record so far.
A measured pace needs two dated readings, and VELA Viento has one: 21.81% on 18 May 2026. The register lists the previous figure of 18.03% without a date, so the 3.78 point gap between them cannot be turned into a monthly rate. The only rate available is whole-build arithmetic, about 0.76 points per 30-day month from the 09 January 2024 start, which is not a forecast; the working is in the VELA Viento pace analysis above.
