The latest DLD inspection, on 8 June 2026, recorded 33.66% progress.

What the 171 Garden Heights handover date means for payments
The plan is 10% down payment, 50% during construction and 40% on handover. The 40% falls when the developer issues its handover notice after completion, not on the registered date. On a 1 bedroom at the DLD median of AED 1,229,745, that is about AED 491,900. If completion moves into 2028 in line with the pace-based estimate, the final payment moves with it.
What to check before relying on the 171 Garden Heights date
- Whether the construction instalments follow dates or progress. With 50% due during construction, a date-based schedule could run ahead of the build.
- The grace period in the SPA beyond 31 December 2026, and what the contract says once it is used up.
- The next DLD inspection result, the first since June 2026.
