Construction Snapshot
Vida Residences at Dubai Hills Estate at a Glance
Vida Residences is Emaar's 217-home tower on plot 4952, rising 23 storeys from its own amenities podium on the Dubai Hills Park frontage. Twenty-five months separate the 23 January 2024 construction start from the 85.12% recorded in June 2026, and the DLD-registered anchors below are the figures that record is measured against. What makes this one unusual among the projects tracked here is the distance between the two headline numbers: a build this far advanced still carries a contracted handover window in Q3 2028.

Inspection Record
Vida Residences at Dubai Hills Estate Construction Update Timeline
Two readings are published for this tower so far: 70% on 13 February 2026 and 85.12% on 2 June 2026, 15.12 points apart across a little under four months. Both dots on the track below sit in the last third of the build, which is a consequence of when tracking began rather than of how the tower was built. Each table row opens the full report for that cycle.

Pace Analysis
How Fast Vida Residences at Dubai Hills Estate Has Been Built
With two published readings on the register, this record yields one measured inter-inspection window and one longer average running back to the construction start:
- Jan 2024 to Feb 2026: start to first tracked reading, 0% to 70%About 2.8 points per month
- Feb 2026 to Jun 2026: envelope into internal finishing, 70% to 85.12%About 4.2 points per month
The first of those figures is an average, not a phase velocity. No intermediate reading was published between the January 2024 start and February 2026, so 2.8 points per month describes twenty-five months of enabling, piling, foundation, and structure work as a single block rather than any stage inside it. The second figure is the one actually measured between two inspections, and it is the more useful number: 15.12 points in under four months is a tower moving out of envelope work and into internal finishes, the phase where floors are handed between trades quickly and the percentage climbs faster than the building visibly changes. What makes this record worth reading twice is what sits beyond it. At 85.12% the build is 14.88 points from full certification, while the contracted window still reads Q3 2028, more than two years past the June inspection. For an end user that means the wait is contractual rather than structural; for an investor it means the construction risk on this asset was largely retired on the 2 June 2026 record.

Vida Residences at Dubai Hills Estate Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Rather than a generic construction sequence, each stage below is anchored to the window it actually occupied in this project's record, using the two published readings and the work packages the RERA report signs off or lists as progressing.
Registration and Site Activation
DLD registration of project 2795 on 2 November 2023, followed by mobilisation on plot 4952 in Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid and the recorded construction start on 23 January 2024.
Enabling, Piling, and Foundation
Substructure and basement works beneath the podium. All three packages are signed off as completed on the June 2026 report, but no inspection percentage was published while they ran.
Tower Structure to Roof Level
Floor plates and cores rising through the 23 residential storeys to roof, the work that accounts for most of the 70% standing on the register by the first tracked inspection.
Envelope Closeout and Internal Fit-Out
The fastest measured stretch in this record: 15.12 points as the elevations closed out, MEP ran through risers and plant areas, door sets went in, and the podium pool was tiled.
Finishes, Testing, and Certification
Internal finishes, external works, then systems testing, authority inspections, and the building completion certificate that closes the remaining 14.88 points ahead of the Q3 2028 window.
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 Vida Residences at Dubai Hills Estate's own record.

Between 85.12% and Handover: What Vida Residences at Dubai Hills Estate Buyers Should Do Now
The 14.88 points still to be certified are closed by testing, commissioning, and authority sign-offs rather than by visible building work, and the contracted window beyond them runs to Q3 2028. That distance changes the order of what matters. The payment triggers on this project are live today, because Emaar tied the instalments to certified percentages; the acceptance steps belong to the cycles running through 2027.
First, establish which milestone triggers the 85.12% reading has already fired against your own schedule. The Vida Residences Dubai Hills Estate escrow account page covers where those payments are held and how each release is tied to certified progress rather than to an invoice date.
Second, if the purchase may support residency, settle eligibility now rather than in the weeks around title transfer, when the paperwork competes with handover. The Vida Residences Dubai Hills Estate Golden Visa guide sets out the thresholds and the sequence.
Third, diarise the snagging window instead of opening it. Independent defect documentation is arranged close to a handover notice, so at 85.12% with Q3 2028 contracted the Vida Residences Dubai Hills Estate snagging inspection page is a 2027 reference rather than a 2026 booking.

FAQs
Vida Residences at Dubai Hills Estate Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
Vida Residences Dubai Hills Estate is an active DLD-registered project (number 2795) in its internal finishing phase, recorded at 85.12% at the RERA inspection of 2 June 2026. Enabling, piling, foundation, and structure works are signed off on that record, while external envelope, MEP, internal finishes, and external works are listed as progressing. The full history is in the inspection timeline above.
The 2 June 2026 inspection recorded 85.12% construction progress, a rise of 15.12 points on the 70% reading of 13 February 2026. The cycle report and the photographs filed with it are published in the June 2026 construction update.
Across the only window bounded by two published readings, 13 February 2026 to 2 June 2026, the build gained 15.12 points, a recorded pace of about 4.2 percentage points per month. Measured instead from the 23 January 2024 construction start, the average across the whole programme so far is about 2.8 points per month. The derivation of both figures is set out in the pace analysis above.
The contracted handover window is Q3 2028, while the most recent inspection, on 2 June 2026, recorded 85.12% construction progress. The 14.88 points still outstanding cover testing, commissioning, authority inspections, and the building completion certificate, and this page is updated when each new reading enters the DLD project register.
DLD registration records show 217 homes for project 2795, made up of 209 one, two, and three bedroom apartments and eight three bedroom townhouses at podium level, with a total built-up area of 23,803.81 sq m across a 23 storey tower.
Construction started on 23 January 2024, some fourteen months after the project was registered with the Dubai Land Department on 2 November 2023. The first tracked inspection came much later, on 13 February 2026 at 70%, and that reading is documented in the February 2026 construction update.
The two figures answer different questions. The 85.12% recorded on 2 June 2026 measures certified construction work; Q3 2028 is the delivery window written into the sale agreement, and only Emaar can revise it. Certification of the final 14.88 points also runs slower than the fit-out that produced the recent gain, since it turns on systems testing and authority sign-off rather than on site output.
With the tower at 85.12% and delivery contracted for Q3 2028, the live work is financial rather than physical. Confirming which certified triggers have already fired starts on the Vida Residences escrow account verification page, residency eligibility is settled through the Vida Residences Golden Visa eligibility guide, and the Vida Residences snagging inspection guide is a 2027 reference rather than a 2026 action, because independent defect documentation is arranged close to a handover notice.
