Velora at The Valley Escrow Account

First Abu Dhabi Bank P.J.S.C. holds the escrow account for Velora, account number 4031*****7653031 (shown in full in the Escrow Details section above), opened under DLD project number 3153 when the project was registered in June 2024.

Velora's 10/70/20 plan means the booking payment and the construction instalments all land in the escrow account first. The bank releases funds to Emaar only against completion stages certified by DLD inspections, and the final 20 percent is paid at handover, expected in Q3 2028.

The DLD inspection dated 9 June 2026 certified 50.07 percent completion, up from 40.03 percent at the previous inspection. Enabling, foundation and structure works are at advanced stages, while internal works, external envelope, MEP and infrastructure works are progressing. Monthly detail is tracked on the Velora construction updates page.

Yes, the protection continues. Funds stay in the escrow account and are still released only against certified progress, regardless of the calendar. Escrow protects capital while the project completes, though it does not itself compensate for delays; those terms sit in the Sales and Purchase Agreement.

No. Every off-plan payment for Velora must go into the DLD-registered escrow account 4031*****7653031 at First Abu Dhabi Bank (the full number sits in the Escrow Details section above), exactly as recorded in the Sales and Purchase Agreement. Any request to send funds to a personal account, an agent's account, or an alternative company account, especially one paired with a discount for paying directly, is the classic pattern of payment fraud, no matter how official the paperwork looks. Any such request should be checked against the escrow account registered in Dubai REST and the details in the Sales and Purchase Agreement before any funds are sent.

If the Dubai Land Department cancels a registered project, RERA takes control of the escrow account and buyer refunds are processed from the protected funds under DLD supervision. This is precisely why paying only into the registered account matters: money sent anywhere else sits outside that protection. With 50.07 percent of construction certified as of 9 June 2026 and structural works at advanced stages, Velora is well past the early-stage risk window, and the safety net exists regardless. The wider framework is explained in the Dubai Land Department guide.

Yes, Velora at The Valley is a freehold project, open to all nationalities.
